The water cooled it down to a mere 94, and the breeze was refreshing. I just had to call Mission Control and share the moment with Leanne. America\u2019s Perimeter Tour was back on the perimeter.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cancerrideamerica.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/The-Gulf-Of-Mexico.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-698\" alt=\"PENTAX Image\" src=\"http:\/\/cancerrideamerica.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/The-Gulf-Of-Mexico.jpg\" width=\"2816\" height=\"2112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cancerrideamerica.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/The-Gulf-Of-Mexico.jpg 2816w, https:\/\/cancerrideamerica.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/The-Gulf-Of-Mexico-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cancerrideamerica.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/The-Gulf-Of-Mexico-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2816px) 100vw, 2816px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But as I moved slightly inland, as required because it\u2019s usually a good idea to keep the \u2018Wing on a paved road, it was just plain hot and sticky. Your Intrepid Cancer Cure Rider, in a mere few days, has gone from 60\u2019s and fog on the Pacific to 100&#8217;s and humidity. I pray I will adjust because today was just plain tiring and very, very fatiguing.<\/p>\n<p>But there were some good things too. Like when the gentleman in Houston pulled alongside me in his air conditioned pickup truck, rolled down the window, and told me I had lost part of my stuff \u201cback there\u201d. (Yeah\u2026.that\u2019s the kind of day it was.) I\u2019ve no room in my bike, so I\u2019ve strapped my foul and cold weather gear to my back seat. Well, it came loose, fell off, and got run over. No harm though, the bag was a little ripped but the gear came through unscathed. Thank you sir! It would have been a real problem to get the rest of the fifty or so miles down the road and find out it was missing, but where?<\/p>\n<p>And then I arrived at the KOA on Galveston Bay. A very nice RV park\/ campground with a pool, showers, the works. And someone had hit a water line a little while ago and there is no water. Like I said, that\u2019s the kind of day it has been. But then a gentleman came over from his RV with his broom and helped me sweep off this picnic table\u2026and invited me to his place for BBQ steak dinner. Phil runs a pipeline inspection team and, as he puts it, came down here five years ago for a two week job. He\u2019s also a gourmet cook. He fixed me the best steak and shrimp BBQ I\u2019ve had since I left home!<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow I have the privilege of a private tour of NASA, set up by my very good friend Bob McQueen. \u201cHe knows people\u201d. Thank you Bob!<\/p>\n<p>I sure hope Mike (the gentleman who will give me the tour) can tell me how to take care of the Roswell situation. This tin foil hat is hot, and does not fit well under my motorcycle helmet.<\/p>\n<p>Ride On,<br \/>\n<em>C.C.R.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>~ Have you or someone you know been touched by cancer?\u00a0 Please allow Dean to honor them as an &#8220;Angel Rider&#8221; with him on this journey.\u00a0 We want thousands of Angels circling America riding with Dean, bringing the prayers of their loved ones, praying together for a cure to all cancers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t have a digital copy of the photo and don&#8217;t own a scanner?\u00a0 No problem &#8211; just use your cell phone to take a &#8220;pic of the pic&#8221;!\u00a0 Email photos to:\u00a0 <a href=\"mailto:DeanShirey@gmail.com\">DeanShirey@gmail.com<\/a>.\u00a0 ~<\/p>\n<p><span class='st_facebook_buttons' st_title='A Rough Day For Your Intrepid Cancer Cure Rider' st_url='https:\/\/cancerrideamerica.org\/blog\/rough-day-intrepid-cancer-cure-rider' displayText='Facebook'><\/span><span class='st_twitter_buttons' st_title='A Rough Day For Your Intrepid Cancer Cure Rider' st_url='https:\/\/cancerrideamerica.org\/blog\/rough-day-intrepid-cancer-cure-rider' displayText='Twitter'><\/span><span class='st_email_buttons' st_title='A Rough Day For Your Intrepid Cancer Cure Rider' st_url='https:\/\/cancerrideamerica.org\/blog\/rough-day-intrepid-cancer-cure-rider' displayText='Email'><\/span><span class='st_sharethis_buttons' st_title='A Rough Day For Your Intrepid Cancer Cure Rider' st_url='https:\/\/cancerrideamerica.org\/blog\/rough-day-intrepid-cancer-cure-rider' displayText='ShareThis'><\/span><span class='st_fblike_buttons' st_title='A Rough Day For Your Intrepid Cancer Cure Rider' st_url='https:\/\/cancerrideamerica.org\/blog\/rough-day-intrepid-cancer-cure-rider' displayText='Facebook Like'><\/span><span class='st_plusone_buttons' st_title='A Rough Day For Your Intrepid Cancer Cure Rider' st_url='https:\/\/cancerrideamerica.org\/blog\/rough-day-intrepid-cancer-cure-rider' displayText='Google +1'><\/span><span class='st_pinterest _buttons' st_title='A Rough Day For Your Intrepid Cancer Cure Rider' st_url='https:\/\/cancerrideamerica.org\/blog\/rough-day-intrepid-cancer-cure-rider' displayText='Pinterest'><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dateline Bay Town, Galveston Bay, Texas.
