Biker Roadhouse, St.Jo-Texas, Revisited 4/2/08

In a week or two I am heading out to Tucson Arizona to see Bill, a good friend, & his family. I wanted to take him a cap from The Biker Roadhouse in St.Jo Texas, so Russ, Mike & I met at the McDonald's on Southwest Parkway in Wichita Falls Texas on 4-2-08 and headed East from there. Above is Russ & Mike. The 3 of us were in the academy together back in '77. REMEMBER, IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE PICTURE BIGGER, CLICK ON THE PIC..

Our bikes at McDonalds, prior to heading out...Left to right: Mike's Harley, Russ's Harley & my bike that I affectionately call "Clone".

Rockin' down the highway!!! Here we are doin' 80 on US 82..

Can't you just feel the love? Here is Mike trying to tell me something...

Another of Mike..Something must be wrong with his glove....

Wow!!! Russ is having the same problem with his glove too!!! And what a coincidence!!! both of them on the left hand...Something ya just don't see every day...

Man, Russ's gesturing me...Could it be the ol' "you Number 1 GI" thing..Ain't seen that for at least 38 years...

Inside the Biker Roadhouse in St.Jo Texas..This business is biker owned/operated. This is Mike, Russ & Toxie, owner of the Biker Roadhouse..The Biker Roadhouse is open Wed-Sun. Call the Roadhouse for their hours at 940-995-2709. You can also visit their site at: http://www.bikerroadhouse.com/ .

So, if your club or friends want to take a nice ride, consider taking a run to The Biker Roadhouse at 104 E. Howell, St.Jo Texas. The store is 1/8 th of a block North of US 82 on the West side of the square. Stop in & see Toxie & all the folks there...

Another pic of Mike, Russ & Toxie..Russ is grinning because he said he was gonna locate a small chunk of C4 and fix my camera....

The wall inside of the Biker Roadhouse has a lot of interesting things on it..This is my favorite... On 4/3/08 I recieved the following information from Toxie: The bull on the wall is named Henry. Toxie owned Henry for 13 years & Henry was 15 years old when he died. Henry is a Corriente Full blood bull. The Corriente breed is out of Mexico. Toxie advised that Henry was concieved in Mexico but was born here in the U.S.A. For more on the Corriente breed check out the North American Corriente Association at the following Link.. Thanks for the information on Henry, Toxie.. http://www.corrientecattle.org/

Me, Mike, Russ & Deaken on Russ's bike..Deaken is the son of Lizza, who just happened to be in the the Biker Roadhouse & left when we did..Lizza was kind enough to take our pic, so Russ included DeaKen in the shot...He has future Harley owner written all over his face!!

This is Lizza & DeaKen..I told her I would include her in this blog for being so nice to take our pic...Thanks again Lizza!!

Heading back West on US 82 from St.Jo..We decided to stop in Terrel Oklahoma at Doug's Peach Orchard (catfish restaurant) & eat on the way home. Here is Russ & Mike.

The sign at Doug's. I have been going there since 1977 & took my son there when he was just 3 weeks old..He loves catfish almost as much as I do now. He is 24 now.

Mike & Russ at Doug's.

Mike inside Doug's

Russ inside Doug's. I think he was saying something to me about relocating my camera into a recess or something...

Russ & Mike getting ready to leave Doug's..Mike is looking for his glasses...

I went to Russ's house when we got back in town..We took the US 281 exit off of US 287 & Mike continued West on US 287.

We had a good time & it ate up the clock & put some miles on the bikes. But when you are riding with friends, its always good!!! Until next ride/post, be careful out there & keep the rubber on the road.............John

Below are four (4) questions and a bonus question. You have to answer them instantly. You can't take your time, answer all of them immediately . OK?

Let's find out just how clever you really are....

---

First Question:

You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in?










Answer: If you answered that you are first, then you are
Absolutely wrong! If you overtake the second person and you take his place, you are second!

Try not to screw up next time.

But don't take as much time as you took for the first question, OK ?

---

Second Question:

You're not very good at this, are you?

Third Question:
Very tricky arithmetic! Note: This must be done in your head only .
Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. Try it.




Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000 . Now add 30 .
Add another 1000 . Now add 20 . Now add another 1000
Now add 10 . What is the total?











Did you get 5000 ?

The correct answer is actually 4100.



If you don't believe it, now check it with a calculator!

Okay, now the bonus round:


A mute person goes into a shop and wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action of brushing his teeth he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done.

Next, a blind man comes into the shop who wants to buy a pair of sunglasses; how does HE indicate what he wants?












He just has to open his mouth and ask...
It's really very simple....

KEEP THIS GOING TO FRUSTRATE THE SMART PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE

Another "Andy Rooney Said" Email

"I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have things like the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America; and see what happens...Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door.

Guns do not make you a killer. I think killing makes you a killer. You can kill someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban you from driving to the ball game.

I believe they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason, which is why there are no girls allowed. Girls belong in the Girl Scouts! ARE YOU LISTENING MARTHA BURKE ?

I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, it is an opinion.

I have the right 'NOT' to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off.

When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that is not racial profiling; it is the Law of Probability.

I believe that if you are selling me a milkshake, a pack of cigarettes, a newspaper or a hotel room, you must do it in English! As a matter of fact, if you want to be an American citizen, you should have to speak English!

My father and grandfather didn't die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come over and disrespect ours.

I think the police should have every right to shoot you if you threaten them after they tell you to stop. If you can't understand the word 'freeze' or 'stop' in English , see the above lines.

I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you are qualified for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans or tax breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store, or any other business.

We did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our lives in wars to defend their freedoms, so that decades later they could come over here and tell us our constitution is a living document; and open to their interpretations.

I don't hate the rich I don't pity the poor.

I know pro wrestling is fake, but so are movies and television. That doesn't stop you from watching them.

I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more. If it ticks you off, go and invent the next operating system that's better, and put your name on the building.

It doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid; and smack their little behinds when necessary, and say 'NO!'

I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please don't pretend they are a political statement. And, please, stay home until that new lip ring heals. I don't want to look at your ugly infected mouth as you serve me French fries!

I am sick of 'Political Correctness.' I know a lot of black people, and not a single one of them was born in Africa ; so how can they be 'African-Americans'? Besides, Africa is a continent. I don't go around saying I am a European-American because my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather was from Europe. I am proud to be from America and nowhere else

And if you don't like my point of view, tough..."

I have a hard time believing that Andy Rooney said any of this, even though it's funny and mostly true. I have an even harder time believing Sumner Redstone and the rest of the PC psychos of CBS would ever allow it to air. But I could be wrong. I just find it hard to believe that in this age of YouTube, no one can point me to the video.
