Saturday Fun Day

Saturday is Chuck's birthday and Diane knows he would love to ride on his birthday. Someone had posted a thing about Magnetic Hill on Facebook a while back and since we had been there before we hatch a plan to ride to Magnetic Hill. This is a famous spot in Oklahoma near the Springer exit off Interstate  35.

We decide to meet up at the intersection of Highway 7 and Interstate 35. When Keith and I leave the house it is a bit cool and damp. 

My brother lives near our meeting place so he is going to ride with us.  

Is still had not warmed up very much and we are all bundled up.

We head out and what do we see....Road Construction!!!

This was an exciting trip just down the road we see.....Cows

And we haven't even made it to our destination. 

Here is a link  Magnetic Hill
It is a really neat place. We had a time trying to find the exact spot and then get our bikes to roll up the hill. It is really hard to balance and roll at the same time. I tried to get a video

but I need to practice, it didn't turn out.
After we spend some time rolling around we head to Ardmore. My brother needed to go to Longhorn Scooters to get a part for his bike. We had fun looking/playing around in the store.

We are now getting hungry my brother suggested "The Two Frogs" in Ardmore. So we jump on our bikes

 and head into town. My brother had asked me to take a picture of him as he rides down the highway so...
 

I tried

 

and tried

 

and tried

 

 

As you can see I'm not very good at taking moving pictures. 

 

While we were eating lunch we got to talking about uncommon names of women that we know, we mentioned Doreen. We ride with Doreen, she impresses me because she rides her own bike. Her husband is Allen, as we are walking out of the restaurant Allen follows us out. They are in Ardmore with the boys and ate at the same place. It was so weird, you definitely need to make sure you never talk bad about people, they might be just around the corner. 

As we are heading back to Davis, Diane takes some pictures of my brother since mine were so bad.

 

Hers are much better but then she is the queen of pictures!

We stop in Davis to say goodbye to my brother and Lizzie decides to make an appearance. (I have lost my picture of Lizzie Oh No! )

The day is still young so we decide to ride up the highway to Norman to drink a cup of coffee. Don't ask me what highway I just ride on the back. You can see lots of unusual things from the back like....

A car on fire at the ice place.

When we get to the Starbucks we start talking about Lizzie and how she has been away at college. We decide she had to make some friends so....

We find....Star Bucks (she will make her debut in a few weeks)

We had a great day with our friends just laughing and riding and eating. The things we do best. 

And last but not least my view from the back!

Sunday afternoon ride

Sitting in Sunday School this morning I got a text.

A plan was made to meet Diane and Chuck at the Harley shop in Lawton at 2 and ride to Burkburnett to eat at "The Feed Lot".  As we head out it is overcast and cooler than we thought it was going to be but we had put in extra clothes in just in case. The weather app didn't show any rain but this is Oklahoma and who knows.

We turn the corner to the Harley shop and see another bike headed our way, it is  Ginger. We could not have timed it any better if we had tried. Soon we are headed down the turnpike to Burkburnett Texas.
In just a few miles Chuck and Diane are coming up beside us so Diane can take our picture. She is real good at this.

 

 

 

We get close to Texas and Chuck takes the lead. We take the 3rd exit and The Feed Lot is right there. Keith has been to this exit  before but he went to Whataburger not The Feed Lot.
The special today is all you can eat catfish. I decide that is way too much to eat so I choose the small catfish, Keith gets the same, Diane gets the chicken fry, Chuck goes  for the all you can eat. The fish is really good and the hush puppies were amazing. We had a wonderful visit, lots of laugh's. All to soon it is time to head home. We decide to ride back up the turnpike to Lawton. As Chuck and Diane are coming up beside us I get a chance to take their picture.

I haven't had near as much practice as Diane but I didn't do too bad.
We wave good bye as we turn east to Duncan and they ride north to Yukon. We had a great time today like we always do. Friends, riding and food it doesn't get any better than that.
