Great Weekend!

This week has been very British by that I mean cool, misty, overcast. But when our FNDR coordinator suggested Baluu's I knew I wanted to ride. I just love this place my favorite is the Vietnamese Hand Roll Spring Roll. They bring out a bowl of hot water for you to soften up the rice paper wrappers in, then a plate of vegetables and meat, and peanut sauce. It is YUMMY!
We are only bringing the 2 Smith's  this week. Us (Keith & Lynn) and Doug & Twanna.
When we head out it is overcast and a bit chilly, I could have worn a jacket.

At we got into OKC the clouds broke for just a few seconds and the heat came through. It was wonderful.

It is a very small group this week only 6. Last week there were 14 you never know how many will show up. Oh well they missed a great time.
After we ate we decided to head to our favorite place for a marguerita, the place we call Mole Nation, Taco Cabana.
The talk came around to where are we going to ride tomorrow. Doug & Twanna are busy but the rest of us are free. Keith mentioned that I had been wanting to go to the Pink Pistol in the big town of Tishomingo. It is decided, Pink Pistol it is!

Since Keith went on a poker run through Tishomingo a couple of years back I have wanted to go check out the Pink Pistol. If you aren't a country music fan you might not know but it is owned by Miranda Lambert.

As you can see by the picture it is still cloudy and cool. We brought rain jackets just in case it starts to rain. The weatherman says it is not going to rain but you never know in Oklahoma. 

We meet Diane & Chuck at the corner of Hwy 7 and Interstate 35 at a really nice convenience store. Then we head out to the big town of Tishomingo OK. 

It is so interesting taking the back roads you never know what you will see. Today we saw a silica plant and a very long train hauling something that looks sort of like coal. What is it really and where is it going?

We had no idea just exactly where the Pink Pistol was located in Tishomingo. But how hard could it be to find really. We just turned towards the main part of town and there it was. 

We had to park about 2 blocks down the road but we did get to look in the windows of a bunch of shops as we walked up the block. The shop was so cute, lots and lots of pink. 

There was this cute little gazebo thing with a throne where you could take your picture, so of course we did.

Our guys were so good to let us shop as long as we wanted, they didn't rush us at all. 

Notice the pink bicycle on the ceiling and the Christmas tree decorated with pink bulbs. It was such a cute store. Of course we found some t-shirts and the cutest bracelet with a little gun on it. When we got checked out we both got a pink reusable shopping bag. Found out after that you had to spend $50 to get a pink bag, well...we both got a pink bag! 

This was outside the store not sure if you were supposed to use it as a prop but we did. We got a very nice gentleman to take our picture. We always have a good time.

We walked up the street and shopped at another cute store by then it was time to eat some lunch. We had walked past a little place called the Rockin Rib. I had seen it on Yelp so we decided to give it a try. The trip to the bathroom was real cute!,

After lunch we decided to ride to OKC with Chuck & Diane. Our new computer is ready for us to pick up. We decide to head up the back roads instead of the interstate because when they were coming down the interstate there was construction and the north bound lane of I35 was moving REAL Slow. 

Once again I slept through the curvy, pretty part of the road. I don't know how I always manage it but I do. We got to Shawnee and Keith needed gas and we needed something to drink. We found a gas station and then the Starbucks. Life is good!

 

 

After we picked up the computer and bought some real cute lighted power cables to charge our cellphones it was time for dinner. We headed to Joe's Crab Shack and asked to sit on the patio, we had been outside most of the day anyway. And the weather is perfect.

What a beautiful day! Lots of laughter and good roads.

Won't be long until our trip to Sturgis!
