Lunch 11 AM, Nov. 19 Perry Bar and Grill, Perry, Ks

[schoolmaster]

As of this moment, the long term forecast says "Sunny with a high of 39*". It's practically a balmy kind of day! So we're going to a new place, at least I couldn't find it in all the ROMEO archives for Eastern Kansas. Allen and I stopped in here last Wednesday and it looks like the perfect place for a little mid-November Wednesday lunch. Rumor has it that they have the best pork tenderloin sandwich in Eastern Kansas but I guess we won't know unless we put it on the list to try. That's the special, but you can order off the menu if that doesn't strike your fancy. (I don't believe I've ever had my fancy struck that I can recall.) So let's show up for lunch at 11 AM at:

Perry Bar and Grill
215 E. Front St.
Perry, Kansas
785-597-5295

BTW, they don't open until 11 AM so this really is an 11 AM lunch! On a personal note, this is an "I'll show 'em moment". I received my first teaching job offer from Perry Public Schools in fall of 1968 and the Superintendent of Schools was Mason Brunton who has long been deceased. When he offered me the job he said, "I'll pay you $600 a month for 9 months and the only restriction is that you can't go into the Perry Pub Bar and Grill." Well Mr. Brunton, I'm going into the Perry Pub, and no, I'm not paying back the $600! So join me for my "rebellion lunch" next Wednesday at the Pub.[attachment=1]l.jpg[/attachment][attachment=0]l.jpg[/attachment]

The weather this month has been a challenge when yesterday at riding time it was 8 degrees and ended up in the low 40's by the end of the day. But today the high for the day was 36 and the temperature dropped as the day went along, but that didn't stop 28 ROMEOS from making it to the Perry Bar and Grill to sample the world famous pork tenderloin sandwiches. And I think there were 16 or 17 motorcycles parked outside so the majority chose to come on two wheels today![attachment=18]DSCN4382.jpg[/attachment][attachment=17]DSCN4383.jpg[/attachment][attachment=16]DSCN4385.jpg[/attachment][attachment=15]DSCN4386.jpg[/attachment][attachment=14]DSCN4387.jpg[/attachment][attachment=13]DSCN4388.jpg[/attachment][attachment=12]DSCN4389.jpg[/attachment][attachment=11]DSCN4390.jpg[/attachment][attachment=10]DSCN4391.jpg[/attachment][attachment=9]DSCN4394.jpg[/attachment][attachment=8]DSCN4395.jpg[/attachment][attachment=7]DSCN4396.jpg[/attachment][attachment=6]DSCN4397.jpg[/attachment][attachment=5]DSCN4398.jpg[/attachment][attachment=4]DSCN4400.jpg[/attachment][attachment=3]DSCN4402.jpg[/attachment][attachment=2]DSCN4403.jpg[/attachment][attachment=1]DSCN4404.jpg[/attachment][attachment=0]DSCN4405.jpg[/attachment]
It was great to see everyone and to have such a nice turnout for a fairly cold morning. Even though the temps were in the 30's, it was pretty nice riding with very little wind and lots of sunshine. All in all I think it was a pretty darn good day to be a ROMEO!

Since next week is Thanksgiving, after visiting with several people today, the consensus was to not have a scheduled ROMEO ride next Wednesday. I think many are either traveling or are planning on helping their spouse prepare the Thanksgiving meal. So enjoy family, friends, and holiday activities and be thankful for your many blessings. And we'll resume ROMEO rides on Wednesday, December 3. Man this year has gone by fast. Can't believe the next ride to be posted will be in DECEMBER!!
