- I survived Christmas with the kids and I am planning to celebrate by riding my Harley. Friday’s forecast is calling for a major cool off but I think I can tolerate a ride to the Smokin Pig near Pendleton, SC. If you would like to join me, maybe because your family has disowned you or some other reason, let’s plan to leave the Key Mart parking area about 10:30 AM this Friday. See you then. Dan
- It was a cool crisp morning for a ride to Pendleton for some BBQ. There were six riders waiting for Dan when he pulled up in the Key Mart parking lot. The riders included Len, David D., Rob, Steve G., me, and Kevin. Dan proceeded to tell us we may have a dilemma. Super shopper Sue had noticed The Smoking Pig looked close on Thursday. So Dan, the Peyton Manning of the Friday Riders, was ready to call an audible and execute his back up plan. As we arrived at TSMP, it was indeed closed, so we headed out for the back up location, the Sunny Side Cafe in Clemson. To our surprise, it too was closed. They must employ a lot of students that were back home for the Christmas break. Not to fear, plan C was implemented and we struck out for Central and Sidetracked Cafe & Catering. Apparently, they too take this week off and the place was closed. An eagle eye spotted Pancho's Mexican Restaurant on the other side of the tracks, and we knew we would not go hungry. The place was nearly empty, and we had no trouble getting a table for the seven of us. As is typical, by the time the food came out, there was some confusion on who ordered what, and only Steve G. was surprised that what he thought he ordered looked a lot different than what he got. Nonetheless, it was eaten. After lunch, Kevin gave a few of the riders a look at the progress on his truck project, and a couple of us went directly home. I'm glad the only dilemma was that I got to ride around a little longer until we had lunch. It was another great day on two wheels. Steve
