Sunday Afternoon Ride.

 
We were eating pizza a few weeks ago and got to talking about riding to Decateur to eat at Sweetie Pie's Ribeyes. We decided to ride on a Sunday after church for a late lunch.
Keith and I ride the bike to church, me in my biker clothes, so we will be ready right after church. When we get to our small group Doug and Twanna are not in their biker clothes he has a 4 o'clock meeting so there is no way they can ride to Decateur and be back by 4. We found out we have a 5 o'clock meeting, so during church I make an executive decision... We are riding to Waurika to eat fried catfish. As soon as church is out I invite Mike and Shannon, they don't ride bikes but they are going to follow us in their truck. Doug and Twanna go home to get their bike.
Even Star is ready!



In just a few short minutes every one is back and we are ready to roll!

Even our friends in their truck are ready to go.
We head out, the weather is perfect.


As we are tooling down the highway just south of Comanche our bike does a really weird thing. It speeds up and then the speedometer quits working. Keith takes it off cruise and uses the tach to keep the speed level. He knows just about what the tach should read at 70 mph. A little farther down the road it starts working again (Who Knows)
Then as we go over the Addington bridge there are barn swallows every where. There must be lots of nests under the bridge. I can't get my phone up to get a picture so I think I will just get one on the way back. (Spoiler alert when we came back there were no birds)
We get to Bill's Catfish and after a short wait we get seated. Of course while we are waiting there are people some of our group know from Duncan to visit with.
By this time I'm hungry so I order a full order of catfish, I think everyone else ordered a half.  When they bring our food they try to give Keith the full order, I guess ladies aren't supposed to eat more than the men.
Have you noticed how interesting bathrooms are? Well this one is no exception the light switch is in a little hallway outside of the bathroom. So Larry loves to turn off the light while you are in the bathroom, there are no windows so it is quite dark.  When Keith went in Twanna turned off his light and then came back and sat down, I rescued him and went and turned the light back on. 
We had a great meal and lots of laughs 

I think the people at the other table were a little annoyed with us, we were just having a good time, maybe they were just jealous.

With our tummies full we headed home and made it to our meetings.
