as close as I can

Upfront thanks to all that are choosing to read this post, I have a couple of things I need to say.

 

Most of us by now have read Freedbird/Dad’s post this morning.

 

I am sure many of you think I took exception to it, then me being me, would likely fire back.

Well you would be correct. However I took my time and read each line allowed as I wanted to have a feel for what Dad was saying and why.

Really I found only one issue I was left wondering on, “splintered”.

 

So I brought forth my thought-out views to Dad and Uncle Carl.

Let me explain something, I am sure more than just I think this way: I studied some manuals then wrote an exam on these manuals for a position many years back. I was told with a handshake and a smile that I did very well on the exam and that I was hired! Is that enough? Well no because what does very well mean? Long story short I needed to know the results or I believed most likely I was unqualified for the position! It turned out there were 3 of the 100 questions that I got wrong!?

“why is it so important to you?” I was asked.

See if I don’t know what I got wrong, then how do I know what I got right?

That is how my gears mesh, neatly and in rhythm. And yes I know y’all want to know the manual was amended. I can assure you that I no longer possess that clarity today tho.

 

So back to the reason for this post: Both took the time to read my PM, and both replied.

I don’t have to tell you that they are two very different people. Carl for example will try and talk a Bobcat out of a tree even tho he knows he will get scratched to all **** Dad just fires up the chainsaw what more need I say

My experience tho from this exchange is that there exists a path here to reason and so I found a balanced reply when merged together divided by two! The point being that one causes the other to reflect which in turn caused me to reflect and is why I stay with the club! And after all I am younger and more flexible than Dad. hmmm

 

Here I am among equals at a minimum, better is often just a post away, I find that stimulating.

 

So Dad, no need to hold the door open for me as I am not going anywhere anytime soon; tho you certainly can expect more light switch flickering here and there, just know now that it is almost always Puc’s fault.

Carl I will try to keep you amused in and out of traffic as best as I can, will try to keep the busses down to a manageable/reasonable odds in your favour but , I am getting old and my math not so good anymore

 

Puc and I will continue to butt heads and agree to disagree, I will most often be right (not always) but that is the nature of our brothership so why spoil it.

 

I am not going to apologise for my position or my much older brother Puc, it is what it is and what it will be. Thinking now tho that perhaps we can try blaming Casey, Blueshy or Mr,Dawson for a change?

 

Thank you both for considering my position, tho this is likely no consolation prize it is acknowledgment of receiving the message. Thank you both is the best I can do.

 

all is well that ends well, enough.

Can you please just stop?

Can you please just stop?

 

 

enlighten me Bubber, obviously I am kind of thick?

 

I manned up for failing expectations, both mine and the monitors!

 

As was mentioned I knew better.

I saw the closure this morning, I respect their positions and understand. It's all good, I'll try to refrain from engaging in touchy topics in the future. Like Patch, I'm a bit passionate about things that effect us, but point taken, this is not the place. When it comes to 25 and 30 year old scoots we probably have plenty of motorcycle related stuff to maul over.

 

Tomorrow I'm firing up the grill and un-winterizing the Venture! Southern CO is dead in my sights for this coming week, hopefully.

 

If anyone was offended by my non-motorcycle posts then I offer some of this decadent vanilla skillet cake as a peace offering, go ahead, take a piece

Pretty Cool jester Casey!

Pretty Cool jester Casey!

 

Make sure you get one too!

 

my daughter and I baked it, even made the caramel from scratch (SO much better than store-bought). Aside from the Heath Bar bits it's all from scratch.
