[GreenKeys] TTY Road Trip

Well, we made it to KC, no thanks to the GPS trying to predictively guess where I was going.  When it suggested 92nd Street I didn't look close enough to note it should have 92nd Place.  So we wound up on the south side of town when we should have been on the north side.

Anyway no harm done as we eventually did find our way to Jack's home (with his help of course via phone and 2 meter simplex).  After getting a chance to visit Jack's fabulous shack and getting to know him and his lovely wife Sue, we got the table for the Kleinschmidt gear I picked up in Lincoln loaded we said farewell and invited them to visit us in Atlanta if they ever got down south Georgia way.  By the way, that invitation is open to all Greenkeyers.

We took Jack's advice on where to find some KC BBQ and had an excellent dinner and then found us a place to lay our heads for the night.  And before I forget, last night we had dinner at the restaurant Ron suggested in Lincoln and had the best Porterhouse steak that I have ever eaten.  And Puddin's Filet was so tender she was able to cut it with a fork.  Thanks to Ron and Jack both for great dinner recommendations.

Tomorrow morning we will meet with Joe (Rokuman Cat) to drop off his M28 tape printer and M28 Standalone TD, then we start on the last real leg of our journey heading towards Alabama for our last two stops (Selma & Huntsville) before heading for home to Atlanta (Stone Mountain to be exact).  And as an interesting side note the trip down I-55 from St. Louis to Memphis will take us right through Blytheville, AR where I graduated from high school.  There was a SAC Air Force base there where my dad was station during my high school years.

The trip is winding down but we rolled the odometer past 3000 miles today and we will be pretty close if not over 4000 by the time we pull into our driveway.

Stay safe everyone!
