"On The Road Again" by Sully, Canned Heat and Willie Nelson

Flew into MSP airport v late Tues n was royally received at the hotel I stayed at flying home on this break. Wed ride metro to dwntwn n dpt bike shop(new tires n storage) n ride S about 10 miles to Jeff n Kara's(cousins) home for a fun filled evening n Mexican food to die for. Left their home about 08:00Thur n forgot my hat-ride back. Visit Jeff's office for a quick Chiro adjustment(fishing injury) n ride E to metro train stn n buy ticket allowing plenty of time to arr at bus depot(reserved ticket) to box bike for 11:15 dpt to Detroit Lakes where I ended my last riding leg - train pulls in n a voice is heard "BICYCLES WITH TRAILERS ARE NOT WELCOME ON THE TRAIN" - HA HA rotten mother!! Now have a metro ticket n am v stressed about making the bus from downtown(10+miles). Push hard n arr at bus stn with less than 15min to departure. Reception lady says "you r too late to box the bike n make this bus" - I plead that I was fooled by the Metro n now she decides to help me make the bus - I coulda kissed her feet(stress does not come in a larger size!). Bus was late which didn't hurt! Rode Detroit Lakes to Wadena 46miles n got a room. Photos of bike outside repair shop, Detroit Lakes, Eastwood Inn Wadena looking W on US10(my route) n a surprise too(bus).
