I started the day with a quick trip to my local stealer. I decided to replace my spark plugs and, well, Paula will tell ya, I don't need a reason to go drool on a few new scoots! :)
I came home and installed the new plugs...fired up the scoot and listened to that sweet sound that always makes my day...:smoke
About that time, Paula was ready to get started on our day’s activities. She asked me if I thought it was cold enough for her to wear gloves and I replied in the affirmative (low 50's). In true "Miss Independence" fashion, she climbs on the back of the scoot...gloveless! :rolleyes:
So, we're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wiz...oh, that's a completely different story...;)
Anyhoo, Paula has a 1:00pm appointment to get her hair permed. Now, the only thing that's unusual about this is, she will only let a lady who's shop is 35 miles away do it. Oh well, no biggy...I'll just enjoy the ride!
About 5 miles down the road, Miss Independence decides that I was right after all...she NEEDED to wear gloves! :doh I told her to stick her hands in my jacket pockets and all was then right with the world.
I spent 1.5 hours waiting on her to get the perm thing done. And, of course, it's a beauty shop so, they have only one "Man" type magazine...Field & Stream! :rolleyes: After I had read the one article in the mag that was of any interest to me and looked at all the ads for new pick-up trucks, there wasn't anything else to do but watch Days of Our Lives on the tube...:rolleyes:
Ok, so we finally crossed this pothole in the day and now we're back on the road to get some grub! There's a place in Batesburg SC called Shealy's BBQ. Yummy food and it's a buffet to boot! :banana We stuffed ourselves and got back on the road.
We only rode about 80 miles but, that's better than sitting at home! :tour Besides, that's about as long as Paula can stand on the back of my Sporty...
