I
slept in a little bit today. Judith was up at her usual 6:00 AM, but I stayed
in bed until 8:00. After coffee, a shower and breakfast I got my act together
and packed and loaded up my bike. Judith was way ahead of me.
We
went to a gas station down the street to fill up. I checked the oil in both
bikes and they both needed about a half a liter each. I had a full liter with
me so that was now empty. Judith’s chain needed to be lubed and I pulled out
the chain lube spray can – empty. Oh yeah, I said, I meant to buy some a few
days ago.
Once
again luck was on our side. There was a Harley-Davidson, Honda, Suzuki dealer a
half a block away. Now this actually seemed mighty strange to me. It is not
often you would see a Harley dealer with other brands as well. Got a spare liter
of oil and some chain lube, and then lubed Judith’s chain. So, about 11:15 or
so we were on the road.

We
stopped in this nice town of Brady for a lunch break. It looked like the town
is at a cross roads for several highways and all the traffic goes through the
center of town, and past a nice plaza with an old WWII (or WWI) cannon in front
of the city hall, grass and a whole bunch of Pecan trees. There was a bench
under a big Pecan tree with our name on it, so was just sat right down and had
an apple, some cheese, chips and water and watched the traffic go by. It was
down right pleasant.

| This was our spot! |
 |
| We knew it as our spot because right across the street was "D and J's" |
 |
| Typical old town - surrounding the plaza were some old business'. In the Samuel Building, est. 1935, were law offices and insurance. Next door, to the left (right side in the picture) was the Taxidermy Store. |

After
our lunch break we continued on to Fredericksburg.
