Found ya. 🤣🤣🤣

I use the community map, enlarge the area you want to look at.

Working with a dr for a few more weeks to see what my spring looks like, hoping to start planning a get together here again soon. Looking maybe early June. Loose plans to take a trip up the Blue Ridge in July with the marm before school fires up. It’ll be her last summer vacation before retiring in 2024. Hoping to make Vogel in August, a lot depends on the next few weeks dealing with the doc on my back and hip.

We had an HR manager that liked to use that line. I invited her to ride a fire truck for a few days to see if she still believed it. She declined. Many accidents are caused by complacency or carelessness but some can’t be foreseen.

We each put 1 present under the tree and draw numbers, when your number is up you can choose to open a present or steal one that somebody else already has. With that many people it can get lively. We have a lot of fun whether you’re stealing something you want or just doing it to mess with somebody else.

You can keep this crap up there. We’ll get some ice tonight and a little snow, gone in a few days. Bike weather again.

Good new is it won’t stick around long. Back to fishing or motorcycles next week.

I come from a very large family so it was always a nightmare getting everybody in one place at any given time, let alone getting to two or three places in a day. Several years ago we moved our Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners to the Saturday after the holiday making it much easier to manage, this year we had Christmas a week early because of New Years. Nobody is in a rush to get to the next place and we have plenty of time to visit. With around 40 people at dinner it works for us. Instead of the usual truck load of gifts we do a Chinese auction with a $20-$30 gift which is fun with so many people stealing your present. Christmas morning we’ll go to her sister’s house for lunch then back to normal.

Prayers for continued recovery.

Wishing all y’all a Merry Christmas. Be careful of the cold weather coming, we’ll be seeing temps not seen in years here. The bikes are covered and warm for the next few weeks.

We’re in the same boat. We’re looking to downsize and have a single story house. I have appointments soon to look at a hip replacement and maybe some work on my back. Stairs are not my friend, and since the kids are grown we have way too much house.

When I did mine I used a strap to hang the inner fairing from the ceiling instead of a full removal. While you’re already in there I’d consider steering head bearings too. They’re a known issue with not having much grease.

You’ll get better response asking in the 2nd Gen section. look under the 2nd Gen read only library, you’ll find what you’re looking for. Welcome to our circus by the way!!!

🤞🤞🤞Fingers crossed this is it.

We ended up with Verizon. My issue with AT&T was they added hidden options on my bill that I specifically declined, since I never see the bill it took two years to catch it, to the extra cost of $1560 plus taxes. While I did recover most of the money, I gave them the option of a full refund if $1560 or the loss of a 22 year customer. They chose to keep approximately $150 over my future business.

So sorry to see this Rich. Prayers up brother.

Walked in the shop to a couple bikes taking a nap as Carl would say. My 1st Gen hadn’t been ridden in several years, the tires and air ride finally leaked down enough it tipped to the right and fell on a Honda automatic setting beside it. Luckily I had put a box of Coro-plast (corrugated plastic sheets) between them this week that absorbed the damage. It looked like a good spot to store the box for a few days. The Honda hit the wall, not sure if there’s damage or not yet. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

We are so overrun with deer our laws are loose. $62 gets you a license and 4 tags. One antlered limit, no limit on antlerless. After filling the first 4 tags they’re $15 a pair. No matter how long you cook em the antlers never get tender so I just shoot the ones without. 🤣

A little mathematical equation: 2x.243 +2x30.06=Success 1 more on a different day.

Made the kids drive the wife and food, I took the bike.

That’s awesome. At least they’re behaving.

We live in the out in the sticks so I’m still trying to test coverage, there is no fiber optic or internet offered here so cellphones are our only connection to the world. Verizon has signal here but T Mobile is cheaper, just gotta find out about signal. Thanks y’all.

I am severing my ties with AT&T after 22 years. I am looking at T-Mobile and Verizon as the bigger carriers around here, the smaller companies don't have much coverage here. Any comments about the dealings with these two companies are what I'm looking for. The service wasn't the issue here, it was some underhanded dealing they did that I will not tolerate. Any recommendations?

Any updates on this?

Believe I’ll smoke a deer ham for Thanksgiving. Between my daughter and me we’ve gotten 5 for the freezer. I’m extra thankful as both kids will be here for the holiday and my 20 y/o daughter still likes to come home to hunt and fish with dad. Can’t beat it. Hope everyone has a great one too.
