Well, I had a previous invite from some church buddies to camp at Ink's Lake state park on Friday night so I figured I'd do that and then make the Pie Run. Then the registration sticker and new plates for my daughter's car showed up in the mail earlier in the week. Since she's in school in Waco I figured I'd just expand the ride.
So, a cool night (okay, cold) camping out. Up moderately early, warm shower, shake the frost off the tent and hang it in the sun so maybe it will dry off before I have to pack it. No luck, packed wet tent, but not until a good breakfast with the guys. I headed out 30 minutes later than I wanted so I made a little better time than the law allowed for up to Hico. Fortunately nobody decided to correct my evil ways. 42 degrees when I left the campground and it was flirting with 60 when I hit Hico.
Said hi to many folks and managed to put faces to some more names. It's tough when you are trying to link a real name, forum name and face. No pie for me. The regular food took a long time to show up so I skipped pie.
Headed for Waco, but not necessarily the most direct way and saw some new roads. Did the plate swap for Katie and visited a little bit. We'd just seen her two weeks ago so not too much catching up was needed. Then I got a text from a buddy who was riding dirt bikes and shooting at this farm in Hutto. Since I wasn't going to run down I-35 anyway, I stayed east of and wandered south to Hutto. I got there in time for the last of the gun action and talked dirt bikes for a while. Then headed home.
Got home just at 6pm, 384 miles for the trip, including getting out to Ink's Lake on Friday night. Sat down for some home cooked dinner and a Margarita while the Supercross race just started on the TV. It was a good day.
Sunday, was back to the normal weekend. Mowing and laundry.

I arrived about 11:45am after a long COLD ride. It was in the low 30's when I left Huntsville and was overcast pretty much the entire way until the last 20-30 minutes before I arrived in Hico. My throttle side heated grip on the GS seems not to be working... So I had to make a few unplanned stops to thaw out my hand so it would work again! I didn't get a chance to mingle much. I apologize if I should have recognized you and didn't. I am challenged when it comes to remembering names 
I got in a nice visit with TossingLead before heading out to the parking lot to find that many people had already left.
