The Club rode to a fifth grade benefit this evening, we met at the usual place for a 6pm departure. The E-mail sent out was not correct and should have said 615pm but that is of no matter, because we rarely leave when we say anyway. Our former 2nd VP turned Town Councilman led the ride in the dark up 163 onto some road followed by some other road until we arrived at a Firehouse, this in itself was a surprise to some of us because we thought we were heading to a school.
Walking up to the firehouse there was a distinct sound of little people in the air. Entering, and paying for the meal we were met by a wall of chiblings scurrying around seating people, serving them and asking what else they might need. The food was pretty good (they even had meatballs!), and they were placing it on the table for us as we sat, no waiting here. There were a couple miss-communications like the need for forks, forks would have been good, and after a couple of minutes of little people running hither and dither the forks arrived. I mentioned that I had never seen that many little people in a firehouse before and was informed by our new 2nd VP that they put out little fires.
And true to a Laurel and Hardy skit when our new #2 requested 2nds because it was all you can eat for $5.00 he found that what he had eaten WAS all you can eat for $5.00.
It was a good evening if a tad cool, and once again the Club rode to support a cause in the town and had a good time doing so.
Here's a note for Jason, while we were leaving two women were looking at his bike, one of them said it was pretty, the other turned to her and said "It's YANKEES" , the first said " I was talking about the cute little blue lights not that team!
Maybe next summer the Club should take a ride to Boston, we can park by Faneull Hall and take a walk through Faneull,Haymarket and Quincy Markets, check out the street performers and there is always plenty of food. A walk through Boston is always great and we would have the added anticipation of seeing what condition Jason's bike would be in when we got back. For those that don't know it, and I can't see how you wouldn't, Jason likes the Yankees, not a very popular team around Boston.
klay
