Mad Max Mechanic's

Yesterday we woke up and had our breakfast (Raisin Bran- in water...what have we been doin buying milk all these years?...stick with milk people) We rode out of Wichita on the first nice day we have had in Kansas and got 60 miles to a dirt road off of 400 east. We saw a small house flying their American flag high in th...e sky and we decided to stop in and ask them if we could throw our tent up on their property. We got about 30 yeards from the house and then we greeted by 4 Boxers...barking their heads off at these two crazy bikers from space....the owner, Carl, came out and called off his hounds and greeted up kindly. He told us thaat we could set up our tent and stay for the night. Then his friend/housemate, Dan, came riding in on a big tractor and asked us if we would like to have dinner with them....YES DEFINELTY! (woulda been more "Water Bran" otherwise).
We went in for dinner and 'boy' what a spread! They grilled up a bunch of buffalo burgers, 'one of a kind' buffalo sausage, french fries, homemade bread, pickles, and some cool-aid to wash it all down...Before dinner we all held hands and gave thanks to God for our new friends, food on the table, and safe travels; the...n we all dug in and spoke about a variety of things.

After dinner the Navy and Marine Vets, Carl and Dan showed us their projects in the garage...these guys are "Mad Mechanic's"....they could fix/ build almost anything, including a bad to the bone Volkswagen Trike (Think a motorcycle front with huge ape hanger handle bars with the back chassie of a mini corvette.....real mad max style)
We said goodnight to our new 'Road Angels' and slept great in our mansion tent....called Dan the Man Revis on his Birthday, where he was partying hard with his family on the 'Lord of the Dance' bus....sounded like a wild time.

Woke up at 8am to the dogs sniffing at our tent and then we saw Carl who told us that biscuits and gravy were on the stove for breakfast. We went in and they served us some killer biscuits with gravy....a real homecooked breakfast. The guys then gave us "The Expositors Study Bible" to take with us on our journey, we said goodbye to our friends and off we go...Thanks so much you guys!
