Well Country mouse and Jaunty mouse made the trek to Pixburg. City had gotten he and I tickets for the Jimmy Buffett concert. So we rolled into town in time for me to do the wed night crit series. The legs felt good despite the race the night before. Recognized a few faces to ride with. 40 laps tonight. It was fast from the gun but then settled down. There was a guy on Serotta that was riding really smooth. I tucked in behind him for most of the race. My plan was actually go for a finish tonight. With two to go there were three off the front I slotted into around fifth coming out of turn four the bell started ringing. WTF? Game on. Well as I've said before. I'm not a sprinter but I gave it my all. A top third finish.
 We went to Beer Nutz to check it out. Good place. Odd no bar,lots of taps and good bar food. Friendly atmosphere. Now that the six and save has changed hands and has a different clientele.

Thursday was to be the concert. We made Jaunty some food for dinner and headed out to show. There was a accident on the highway and our one hour drive turned into three. The parking was just what you'd think. Full. So we were slotted into row ZZZZZZ and beyond. Parrot heads do know how to tailgate. We set up some chairs,had some food from Whole Paycheck a couple good beers and headed for our seats. En route a guy with a complete bar says "You old timers look like you could use  a shot." He had a wash tub full of margarita shots. We indulged.The beach balls were flying. Jimmy played all the hits. He did my current fave. Southern Cross, also covered Brown Eyed Girl. Rocked an encore with Fins. City mouse was thrilled. A good time and a great show. As Jimmy says "He has the best job on earth". He does.

Next up was the Carnegie Museum. We did all three floors. But the dinosaurs were the coolest part. They even had a T-Rex. Not sure how these critters didn't trample everything in sight when they were alive.

The design section had some cool chairs and furniture.The next day found us on the road to see the Frank Lloyd Wright house Falling water.I'd seen it 30 years ago when it was "Falling Down". Impressive but depressing. Now it was all restored. Very very cool. If you get a chance go see it. It must be spectacular in the fall. Just the idea it was built in the 30's is amazing. We went to the House of a 1000 beers today too.

We hit another G2hg4 in Pix. Three hundred of us in one place the lawyer breeders beat feet from this place after they realized we were taking over in large numbers. Run home little boys. Lots of laughs.

Saturday was a more casual day. Hang by the pool. Get a ride in. Get prepped for the third Bo ol Mo Happening at City mouses.Somehow we cooked up a storm made a ton of appetizers. The beer and wine flowed freely. Tales of our youth were told. Laughter flowed as freely as the spirits.

Monday was the drive back. We decided to check out the Zippo museum in Bradford. Construction slowed our travel way down. But the Zippo was fun.The rest of the trip home was in the land of nod for sure. Tired tired mice.

Then we had the Big Ol Mo happening at Franks. This has become an annual overnight. So people don't have to drive. The menu was grilled tuna, a corn blueberry salad, fresh corn, grilled pizza apps, other apps included tapenade, hummus and baba ganoush. We never lack for food in this group. Cliff brought the almond pear tart from NYC form dessert. It is so tasty and  a great way to finish off the meal.

We made a nice breakfast and rolled back to Bingo.

Kross is just around the corner and I've had the Ti rig out a few times. Also getting crazy with sponsors and race sites.

Hanging there.
