Denny & Lori’s Blog

We left out of Dublin about 10am, but before we left we were informed by three fella’s that the 13th Annual Redneck Games were going on, and that it would be a blast. Even though it was tempting, we decided to hit the road.

On down the road a piece, it was time for gas, so we stopped in Metter, GA, and filled up. With every stop, it is 5oclock somewhere, so I grabbed a beer.

Denny went inside to relieve from the road, and came out with a GA lottery Mega Millons ticket, and a Jumbo Bucks scratch off. I asked for a quarter, did my bidding with the ticket, and ended up with a new ticket - cool!

So he went and turned that one in, and grabbed another one. Scratching, my numbers were 14 and 18
and I went to scratching - 14, 14, 14, 18. Wow! Every single number on the card was 14 & 18. $20 won, FREE STOP! Whoo Hoo!

Back on the road again, about 25 miles in, Denny cannot remember where he left his phone, so he starts searching for it - riding about 75 mph on the interstate, and takes his hands off the bars!!! OMG, I was totally freaking - told him to pull over and look! Did that, had a “calm me down” beer, took some pictures of this beautiful butterfly, and then back on the road.

I write this post under the trees at the exit sign (1 mile away to exit) of SR 280, US 80, because we do not feel like getting wet! From here we are heading, to Richmond Hill to meet a local SCV brother, Cody Boy, and share in fellowship.

Part 2 to come…

All packed up, and headed toward the beach! We left Fort Oglethorpe, with a brief stop at Verizon for a brand new phone for me (Lori), then stopped at the Shell next to there for a beer, Rockstar and some cashews (Yuck, we hate sweet cashews).

Hopped on I75 south… I got these new riding boots (Aspens from Harley Davidson), and they have ripped my heels up so bad that we had to stop in Rome and buy bandaids (and a beer), and doctor me up… Stowed those boots away in favor of sandals and back on the road we go.

It was time to eat, so we decided to stop in Marietta at Z-Moms, who always has the best leftovers! Up the HUGE hill she lives on, we had our first mishap… we dropped the bike, and boy was that a pain in the *@** to pick up on that hill!

Got the bike situated and chilled on the porch with Mom eating her excellent Jambalaya. We chatted about the ride, my Dad, my Grandfather, and Tiger Mosquitos - they LOVE to eat me!

Kiko got a tattoo, and is NOT happy about it, LOL.

Hugs, and kisses and back on the road. Next stop, Macon, and oh no, here comes the rain!!! We parked at a gas station, grabbed a few beers, and checked the computer for the weather. It ends up that the rain (with 65 mph winds and golf ball sized hail - NOT RIDING WEATHER) was both just ahead, and just behind us. So we played “stop and go” to avoid it!

We won, and never got wet!

We ended this day in Dublin, GA at the Jameson Inn. Chatted with a local guy on the front patio for a bit, drank a few more beers, then walked over to the Waffle House for some bacon, egg and cheese sammies, then came back and turned in.

Been a good day - let’s see what tomorrow brings!

Till then…..

Munsie, our English bulldog, had been walking around looking like she ate a watermelon, barely able to move more than a few feet, and not able to get up the steps anymore… so we knew it was close. Janie thought that the pups would come about April 7th, but we thought it would be earlier due to the way she looked and was acting, so we took her over to Janie’s on Monday in anticipation of her going into labor sooner.

We were right! Denny got a call from Janie at about 7:15 this morning saying that she had been up since 2am with Munsie, and that she was now heading to the Vet with her. She was in labor.

She bore a total of ten beautiful white pups - two boys and eight girls. All the girls are pure white, and both boys have a dark patch on their eye and ear. Here are a few pics of the newest additions to our zoo:
