That’s an “ace reference” for anyone of my era.
It’s been non-stop for me for the past week and today I’m in at FNC in-studio taping some “Who Can Forget” AND I’ll be on panel on Kennedy at 7pm.
Much to update you all on and let’s plan a live video - maybe sometime during the 5 o’clock hour?
See you later!
Heres a little travelogue- with focus on the travel part (i left my phone in my bag all weekend)
Thank you for reminding me. I wanted to talk about our post-show hangout in Memphis and here it is:
“Making like”
A baby, and heading out.
The most excellent @KevinProudTexan and his ever lovely wife Kim have been the most gracious hosts. The short hiatus from the ride they gifted us, recharged our batteries for the next two days.
We’ve swapped enough ‘stories’, that it seems as if we’ve known each other for years.
We then went to supper last night at a little local ‘hole in the wall’ that had excellent barbecue.
It’s now time for the final push to The Big Blue Beast, in GA.
I’ve consulted GROK and the weather will be in the ‘70s with no rain expected today or tomorrow.
We’ve almost 13 hours of seat time over the next two days to get there. We will do the longest segment today, 391 miles. Our longest segment of the entire ride.
While 6 hour rides in a ‘cage’ (automobile) isn’t too taxing, on a scooter, it can be exhausting. Especially at our ages. Your ass in general and hips in particular take a beating. I usually start popping Advil Dual (Acetaminophen and ...
“GROK”

I’ve used SI several times on this Cavalcade.
Once for a detailed weather report between to locations and along our root. GROK suggested we wait until the next day.
Which we did.
I’ve also given it Two points and the route between, asked it to find a hotel at roughly the halfway point.
Works like a charm.
Here’s the latest.
“I’m riding a motorcycle from Corsicana TX to Acworth GA, find a hotel close to the halfway point.”
GROK;
Jackson / Pearl, Mississippi is the practical halfway point on the drive from Corsicana, TX to Acworth, GA.
The full route is roughly 760–770 miles (mostly via I-20), so the midpoint falls right around Jackson, MS—about 390–400 miles from Corsicana (roughly 6–6.5 hours of riding).
Pearl (just east of Jackson, right on I-20) is especially convenient for an overnight motorcycle stop: easy interstate access, plenty of surface parking, and hotel clusters near exits.
Here are solid nearby options with free parking and good interstate ...
