Boring Luckenbach report...

[Timba]

I had a new part I had to put on the bike, and needed a ride to break it in. It took almost two years to get the paperwork processed, and I was darn sure not going to wait for months to install it.<br />

I met Tom, Carol, and her father at the OST. <br />

<br />
After french toast, I planned a route to Luckenbach, tacking advantage of back and dirt roads whenever possible.<br />

It began to cloud up, soon leaving only a small patch of blue sky.<br />

Other than that......
