sounds like a great time.. some of the best rides are when you realy have no real place to go. you just get out there and go..... i miss the younger days when i had a honda 750. me and a friend just loaded up our bikes took off and didnt come back for 5 weeks.. went from MN to AZ to texas. and back.. of course it was nice he was my employer and i didnt have to worry about my job....

get well i feel your pain. its in the 60,s here right now. with possible rain all afternoon. thought i might sneak in a little ride to a friends house for some BBQ. nope no way. i got one end over a bucket and sometimes the other over the toliet.. but my nurse is way to far away to take care of me. chicken soup. crackers and bottled water is my lunch for today.. i did watch 3 little ones yesterday... one was a little sick. and wanted to hang on to me most of the day. bet her parting gift was to give me what she had ??????

well found out the local high school.. here as a class in auto body shop and repair. talked to MR Hanson there showed him the tank after pulling it off and draining it.. he said shop cost .. and paint cost will be around $22 bucks.. he also gave me a tip on doing a dent that need no paint repair.. besides dry ice. he said you know them air spray cans you use to clean your computers? well turn them up side down spray the whole can on the dent. it will freeze the dent then use a hairdryer heat around the dent and you will hear a pop. dent will pop back out. as long as its not deep and has a crushed can look..

he just whishes he had hair like that.

never thouhgt about the bra or paintless dent repair. good idea.. yep health is doing ok. had gallbladder taken out last week. had all my meds redone. now that they got the proper doseage. im feeling pretty good. still cant do over a 50 or 70 mile ride before im tired. but hey at least im out there.. with all the help here im getting it running good. next is a paint job and fix the fairing cracks.. it just irks me to hurt her bike like that but accidents happen.. i did send her a text. about what happened. no answer back yet!!! for the life of me i dont know what i was thinking? of putting that rake up there.. i was just tired and wanted to go home. and just did a brain fart i guess? it could have been worse as its one of them garden rakes long and pointy. could have hit someone and hurt them.... it can be fixed.. as for doc checking my head. im sure he wont find nothing up there LOL

well i went and done it now.. while putting away Dianne,s bike. after being a good boy and cleaning the garage. i put a rake up in the rafters well i guess i didnt get it up there good enough?? i placed both bikes in the garage with hers right under that damn rake.. i closed the garage door and heard a crash!!! so i went back in the side door and there it was rake hit her gas tank. nice. scratch and about a quarter size dent..... so how much will a body shop charge me to paint and fix the dent? its silver in color if that makes any differance? my mistake i have to man up to it... well since shes still up in north dakota her arms cant reach that far to smack me upside the head.. that will teach her to leave me .. almost have her talked into not staying up there... she hates them 12 to 14 hr shifts. but loves being with her mom.. just hope i can that tank painted for under $100 bucks i hope? or as close to that amount as possible..

i found out this woman worked for JC whitney here in Lasalle IL worked in the ware house and shipping for over 9 years. seems good old JC whitney is selling out to another company??? and of course they are going to down size. i allways say if it aint broke dont fix it.. i guess i was raised by a good mother. taught me to give. even if i dont have that much to give. $20 bucks could by me a full tank of gas in the bike and a little joy for the day. what i gave that single mom and her daughter was priceless. and who knows that could have been and angel testing me???

today i was out for a small ride on the bike. well turns out its the toys for tots ride today in and around my town. no i wasent in it. i was just out for a ride. i spotted a little girl selling kool aid on the road the bikes where going down.. of course they couldnt stop. planned route and police leading the way.. so i went around the block and pulled in to the parking lot next to where this girl was selling her koolaid.. i took off my helmet walked over and said how,s it going little one. she said MR biker sir. i have not sold any.i said how much i will take a large glass she said sir its 50 cents. i said i will take 2. she said 2 why 2? i said one for you and one for me. i gave her my dollar. and talked to her some more. then she began to cry.. i said why you crying? she said sir my mommy was crying today. its the first time i saw my mommy cry. i said oh . she said yes my mommy told me she lost her job yesterday and things are going to be hard for us but we will make it through. so i told mommy i will help. and she helped me set up this stand. i thought with all the bikers comming through i could make some money.. see every sunday mommy would take me to mcdonalds for a happy meal. its our special girls day out. and i wanted to give santa my list this year. well that brought a hard lump to my throat. so i thanked her and said im sure santa will know. about your mommy and things will work out. then off i went. i drove straight up to mcdonalds and got 20 dollars in gift coupons. i never thought twice about it. i went back. to see the girl and her mom putting away the stand. i asked her mom to come over and i said to her and her daughter. santa sent this as a early present. and he would like you to call this special number to give him her list.. its a number to a friend of mine in the marine corps toys for children. he said he will make it a special request for this child. so this child now has at least one special day at mcdonalds with her mommy. and soon will have a nice christmas when it comes. like i said best koolaid i ever had ..

i think this is so cool. i have a little monkey i have as a ridding partner his name is george. he wears boxing gloves hence why i named him george. he went over 6000 miles in one year on his fight for cancer trip.. and raised over 2 grand . but at last the one hes was fighting for lost his battle with pancreatic cancer.. that was my brother dale . the money went to help research this type of cancer.. because by the time they find it. theres not much time for that person..
