Wookster in Arizona - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

wookie · 08-26-2007, 02:02 AM

The wookster woke up to the news that the multi-state Powerball Jackpot was at $300 superlarge. So he rode 200 miles to the border between Cali and Arizona to buy $25 worth of tickets....

Resized..... Was too tired to work on the picture....

Ah, Indio, I kept thinking what a bloody hellish place it is. It was hotter than even Arizona.

Just checked the powerball numbers. Damn, spending $25 plus gasoline and I won a lousy $8.

Wow, and you did not even stop by as you went by to say hi! LOL, good luck I hope you hit it. Next time, let me know and if I am not working we could hook up. I live in La Quinta (5 minutes West of Indio)

Lol,,,,,,,,,,,,,is that what you call the BIG picture?

Wookie!
OMG, you travelled all the way to Arizona to buy lottery tickets???

AND in that heat???

Well, I knew until you bought the perforated leather suit, you were even wearing a full leather one in summer to do your canyon rides.....so I did gather you have a um...."unusual" heat resistance but still....

OK, you BETTER win that lottery!!!

Good luck!!!

He rides 200 miles and I can't even be bothered to leave my house to walk 10mins to the nearest Circle K. Somebody won though.

Riding through the desert sure isn't fun. I live in AZ, but spent last summer in San Jose, Cali. I did a 750 mile ride spread across 2 days on the M50. Everything was great until I hit that heat.

Can't wait for the winter weather to come around, it's going to be awesome here in AZ...

Just got back from a one-day business trip to Denver.

Yeah, I won $8. So I am debating whether or not I will spend another $10 worth of gasoline and ride to Az to claim the $8.

Mail it to me. I'll claim it. That's a matinee movie ticket right there.

Send me a postage-paid self-addressed envelope. I will send it to you.

$8 for ALL THAT effort?

Hmm....well at least you won SOMETHING.

Maybe something better will be awaiting you sometime in the future. I'm a great believer in luck finding a way to balance out.
