If your bored an wanna have some fun, you could always...

[cowpuc]

So, lets just say your one of those folks who have been sitting around all spring kinda bored with nothing to do and no where to go.. Kids been bugging ya to do something,, anything besides sit around with em on saturday morning, eating cereal and watching saturday morning cartoons (are cartoons still around on saturdays?)..

Here is a thought,, pack those ankle biters into a your mini van and shoot down, up, over to Muskegons Bike Time!! Us local motorcycle corndogs refer to our gathering as a little Sturgis but really, its wayyy more "family" oriented than the Sturgis Rally is.. We even have clowns on motorcycles that appear from time to time, click here = http://www.mlive.com/news/muskegon/index.ssf/2009/07/bike_time_gets_off_to_roaring.html.. Lots of fun even if your really not into bikes..

Here is a link to the Bike Time website http://www.muskegonbiketime.com/

Dont let the hooligan press there fool ya into thinking its all about the 3 part patch, 1 percenters and that ya might come home with a black eye or something.. Its really VERY family oriented with lots to look at and lots for those kiddies to do.. Of course,, there are beer tents and loud bikes and some crazy stuff that happens but that doesnt happen till most kiddies are fast asleep dreaming of the really cool 1st Gen Yamaha they had seen earlier in the day.. AND,, that party stuff happens at a time when only folks who enjoy that lifestyle are present..

If you decide to take a shot at it and tend to travel like Tip and I like to,, tent in tow, here is a heads up for you.. I noticed this little ad in our local paper offering FREE camping (see pic).. I checked it out (always looking for a place to flop my tent - its another flaw in my charector) and it looks great!

In case your wondering, the clown shown in the News Paper Article above wont be on a 69 Honda Chopper this year,, look for him on a 42 WLA Harley complete with a fake Thompson Machine Gun.. Also, he may or may not be seen wearing tie dye and a hair hat on his bald head!!

By the way,, the year that article was written my daughter rode on the back of that chop and tossed over 10 pounds of penny candy to the kids,, what a ball!!!

Fun starts today and goes thru Sunday!!

where do you get penny candy or was that from your stash from a long time ago?

[cowpuc]

Yea,, ok, ya got me on this one Bill.. Just cause you and I have actually met now and we are really good friends I will admit I was stretching the truth and trying to come off as a big spender... When you buy MnM's, Skiddles, Smarties or Jelly Beans in the bulk (some people dont realize every time they buy a little bag of those candies they are buying in bulk) you can usually get them for 50 cents a bag.

If you open the bag and count them and dont eat any (people like BongoBob, EasyRider, YammerDan, Condor, FlyingFool, BikerJohn, Squid, CMCoffey,,,,, come to think of it, most folks I know have a real problem with that part) you will usually find at least 100 pieces of candy.

I confess,,, technically, when I tear open that bag of Jelly Beans and toss a bean to a kid it's only a half a cent piece of candy not "penny" candy..

In my own defense though,, there have been many many times that I have tossed a kid not one but TWO jelly beans at one time actually making the total toss worth a penny and therefore still qualifying me as a big spender!!!!!!!
