We was Munckinized

I’m going to make up a new word. It’s going to be sorta like pressurized, simonized or chumpenized . Notice  a word like chump is used  in there. I shoulda known when Munchkin jumped up and volunteered to lead the Breakfast ride.  Alarm bells should have started ringing like fire bells at a six alarm fire.  But no, not a naïve trusting Old Catherder like me.

Okay back to the beginning, As Sam and I drove up to GTD, we watched a Publix’s big truck try and do a u-turn from the parking lot of GTD. Now JoeJoe and Harley are between the trailer and the street. Did  JoeJoe move? Not an inch, JoeJoe just calmly sat there as this wall of aluminum moved a foot from his Harley and him. That should have been an omen but I missed the clue.  

7 Sandies met at GTD on time. It was supposed to be a  rainy Sunday, 88%  chance of showers I was surprised that we had that many to be truthful. I was really surprised to see Kasey K who hails from the sunny shores of Crestview. I know Kasey likes to ride, Kasey just didn’t know he was going to a part of Sandie lore. Then Bobby B from the far environs of Niceville showed up. Now Bobby is a savvy fellow but even the Great Waldo never saw it coming.

Munchkin showed up  with this grin, I shoulda been warned but for some reason the internal alarms were strangely silent. “Follow me, folks!” declared Munchkin, now giving credit to the Munchkin. It was exactly 7 am when the kickstands came up and off we went, trusting as ever. Turned on to Eglin Parkway, went .4 of a mile and turned onto Mother Earth Café. That’s when I knew I had been Munckinized ! ( cue dramatic music).

Now being a part of Sandie lore i.e. Taking the shortest Sandie Sunday Ride, ever. It just couldn’t wipe the fact that I had been Munckinized. As I sat there in the parking lot I had to admit I never saw it coming. We decided to make the best of the joke and eat breakfast. While sitting there we did watch it raining at least we avoided that.

Next Saturday is Our Saturday ride the schedule says 7 am but let’s move it to 8 am
