FRIDAY!  Say it loud and say it proud!  IT'S THE WEEKEND!  Yup, the Riding4Beer Magical Mystery Tour  is still in New Orleans and most likely will be here for a few more days.  Come on - the French Quarter for the weekend?  Oh yeah, baby!  Well, and we also have some issues to deal with while we're here.  There's still the air conditioning problem with our rented room so we're waiting on some sweaty guy to install a new part, the Harley is still down for the count but getting better and then there's the outstanding no-bail warrant issue.

We borrowed a car today and drove to the Harley dealer for a part and some assistance.  The folks at Hurricane Harley Davidson are GREAT and really helped us out (once they found out how we got in!).  The broken rack on the bike has turned into a pretty major repair issue so we've got the bike field stripped here in our courtyard and parts are everywhere.  We'll get it all put back together sooner or later and the smart money is that we'll have a few spare bolts left over when we're finished!

In the meantime our Deep South Regional Senior Presidents of Vice, Mike and Sandra, have arrived to help sort things out.  Mike made some calls and has an A/C repairman on the way and Sandra has been wrenching on the bike for the last couple of hours (she won 2nd place in the 1987 Ms. Harley Mechanic Contest).  Some new friends we met up in Oxford, Mississippi last week, Tom & Tonya, have also shown up and, and, and.   Hmmmmm, the weekend is here, the beer is cheap and cold and it's time to forget about motorcycles and air conditioners.  It's time to....

      
       Jamie & Lee & Bob & Stacy are drinking to forget...                                     ...okay, so much for that idea!

      
 Our bartender CeCe was impressed with Kevin's biceps!           The Harley dealer really helped Kevin out (the door!)
