DAY 38-rest and birthday
Day 38 was a relaxing and fun day with the Brennens in southern Missouri. We stayed up late visiting and then had a late lunch and done a little roping out at the saw horse. As when most cowboys get together, the saw horse makes a good gathering place for all the flat hatters.
-THE BRENNEN FAMILY, DAVID, ALLISON, ELIZABETH AND ADRIAN ALONG WITH JORDIE REGIER FAR LEFT.
I was sneaking by in my spandex in testosteron laden cowboy crowd, I had pinned a little fringe to the legs of my riding pants and I was going unnoticed for now. Lets see how long it lasts till somebody figures it out. We roped for a while then decided that we should head to town so that they could show me and my other Canadian friend Jordie Regier, who as it seems has a bit of a sweet spot for Davids daughter Elizabeth or Lizard as we call her. David figures that both of us would be better off if we had a chance to see the Bass Pro Stores in Springfield.
-ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL CREEK FULL OF FISH FOR PASTOR MIKE????
We head in, and I am amazed at what there is in a store of this size. I didn't really get to do much shopping, I spent most of my time looking over the trophy mounts in hte upstairs Gallery. Wow, what an awesome display of mounts. They had world class critters from every continent and of every type. Included within this display was the Fred Bear Archery Trophy Mount Dissplay. All together, it was a genuine fun afternoon, and no matter what sort of out door interet you have, it will be addressed at the Bass Pro Stores.
Lizard decided that eating some Japanese Food was in order for her birtyhday, and we all headed to a fine restaurant that cooks and serves at the table, sort'a that Benny Hanna fashion. It was great, I ate steak..........which is so typical of cowboys adventure. We closed the evening off with a great carrot cake that Aliison whipped up right in front of us as we sat watching a Neubert/Wolters/Neubert video on starting colts. It was great fun, and a good time spent off the bike.
Thannk you David and Alilison and both girls, for making a smelly and dirty biker feel as if he had been adopted into a new home.
Good Night and God Bless

It's probably nice to relax throughout your journey! I hear you aren't going to make it to the show in Texas...well that's not good. We have a return flight for Europe, so we can begin booking! God bless, and safe travels!

No pictures of the flat hat and spandex outfit showing them the fancy loops? What's up with that? Make up a new throw - the "bicycle suit backhand" or the "standing spandex hipshot". Glad the trip is still going great, and we wish the best for the rest.
