Hi guys - I may not be able to make this ride, much to my disapointment. I had PRK laser surgery in my left eye yesterday, and I thought that with googles I'd be OK. But the eye is blurry and hurting (even on light pain meds) today. If it's not signficantly better tomorrow, I may have to pass and catch a ride with you later. I'll keep you posted, and watch this board with envy if I don't make it.
I had the same surgery. Best thing I ever done. I had the surgery on Friday and was back to work on Monday. No problems here, and I'm no spring chicken either.....I hope you can make it.

after everybody meets at 27 and 70 whats the route after that?
head into arcadia and then port charlotte?
nothing is final yet but we will see if it works out for us.
The plan is to meet at Pogey's in Okee for breakfast. Sleepman is meeting a few at 70/27 to ride over to Okee together. From there we are riding west on 70 passed Arcadia to 72. Going around near Punta Gorda and back to Okee. We will have lunch in Okee.

The plan might change as to which direction we head. We may all decide to go in reverse and have lunch in Sebring. A friend of mine told me there is a great little grill just over the bridge in La Belle. It has GREAT food. Maybe Mike can give us some input. It would only be an extra 30 minutes round trip off route.

Our route in already inputed in Jackel's GPS. We are set.

Glad to have you back, I think Reb has painted a target on me in your absence.

For everyone who's meeting me at 27 and 70, it's the Circle K station between 8:15 and 8:30. See ya all tomorrow.

Glad to have you back Kimbo. I bet you have aged 10 yrs with all the work you have been doin'. See if we can take it off tomorrow.

Look at Jeremy, He has almost got the southern talk "See ya all tomorrow". Say it like this "See y'all tomorrow".

Good deal Oh Brother. Lookin' forward to meetin' ya.

Murph, I have eatin there a few times. If I am LaBelle, I usually go to Don's Steak house. I know Jackel would like that. But it is up to you guys. I don't care, I just wanna go for a ride.

Yes,that is the route. Jackel had to modify the route a little before he put it in his GPS. See you tomorrow.

Ohbrother,

Y'all ain't that southern, heck when I lived in Florence, Ky we had it painted on our water tower right next to I-75 it said Welcome to Florence Y'all. I'm just a convert, I think David Allan Coe said it best, F*ck dude I'm from Ohio.

Just ribbin ya Jeremy. I thought Kentucky was still considered the south. I have never heard of an Ohio Buckeye saying yall. But then again, I have lived in Hooterville all my life. My wife's family is from Indiana and Ohio and they make fun of me saying it. That is why I said that.

No offense taken I just kiddin around. Yeah, see what happened to me is half my family is from Ohio and the other half is from Kentucky. So as a kid I used to make fun of my mom's side for saying Y'all and then all of a sudden I find myself saying it. So I get crap know when I go to Ohio and say it. Of course then my wife picks on me for saying things like "boot" for a car truck and "poke" or "sack" for a bag.

You know what they say a Buckeye is a useless nut.
