DAY #3...189 MILES (809)...RUSSELVILLE, AR. TO SMACKOVER, AR.

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNING.......IT'S FINALLY STARTED TO WARM UP A LITTLE. LARRY, CURLY, AND I ARE HAVING A GREAT TIME RIDING THE TWISTY ROADS OF ARKANSAS, AND WE'RE REALLY GOOD. CURLY (JACK) CAN GET A LITTLE CRAZY SOMETIMES, BUT WHAT A THRILL!!!!

AND......LARRY AND CURLY ARE ALWAYS BREAKING SOMETHING, SO I HAVE TO MAKE SURE I'M WELL STUDIED TO FIX ALL THE MINOR BREAKDOWNS.

WE LEFT THIS MORNING AND RODE A SHORT DISTANCE TO MIMA'S CAFE IN OLA FOR BREAKFAST. THIS WAS THE SITE OF A THUMPERCAFE SEVERAL YEARS BACK. WE HAD A GOOD TIME AND A GOOD BREAKFAST.

LARRY AND CURLY ALWAYS GET BENT OUT OF SHAPE BECAUSE I GET "MOE" HUGS THAN THEY DO.

RIDING DOWN HIGHWAY 7 TOWARDS SMACKOVER, ARKANSAS, WHICH IS WHERE OUR HOME IS FOR THE NIGHT, WE STOPPED FOR FUEL SEVERAL TIMES. I'VE READ THIS SIGN NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT DIDN'T THINK IT WOULD HAPPEN THIS QUICK. I NEED TO START PAYING MORE ATTENTION TO DETAILS LIKE THIS. I HAD TO EAT SOUP FOR SUPPER TONIGHT, BECAUSE WITHOUT TEETH IT'S HARD TO EAT.

TOMORROW IS THE THUMPERCAFE IN SPEARSVILLE, LOUISIANA, THEN WE HEAD EAST TOWARDS BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA. I'M TELLING YOU THIS........THE LONGER WE'RE ON THE ROAD THE BETTER LOOKING WE GET.

STAY TUNED FOR THURSDAY NIGHTS REPORT ON THE THUMPERCAFE, SAME TIME, SAME CHANNEL.
