2. Day when they decided to serve pancakes Make by one person hired to make them in his special 12 foot trailer He was so slow line was very long than I realized i could forget them and go to were rest of breakfast was being served and have a very nice breakfast sans pancakes
3. Coming in so tried and late, 4:30 pm that dinner was just being served I wash my face and hands, parked the bike and ate dinner Line for dinner was very short Yes!!
4 each morning you loaded your gear into one of five semi trailers I forgot a few times to note which one So at when I came in that eveing all the gear for each van was lined up behind each trialer ? was which trialer did i put my gear on took over 45 minutes to find mine
5 each nite after riders would get in It was off to nearest store to buy beer except me
6. A lost kitten at the edge of a very busy road No idea what to do
