Bubber

I was laid off all summer long and now I start my new job on Monday. How about that? :rotf: Now I have to join all you working stiffs and make a honest man out of me.

There should be witness marks that should give you a clue plus the assembly picture.

LEDs take very little energy so you can add a million of them. Also blue are reserved for cops so that may be a problem in your state, check with the locals or use red or purple or call the blue, purple when stopped placement is ..... try it and see how it looks......... everybody is different!

A Little Bump

When I first read the postings about applying grease I remember doing it then, just took a while to remember.

UH Duh..... let me go to the garage and get back to you. :doh::rotf: I may need a little more time to investigate. Note to self: check the obvious first!

I was looking for someone that has the radio controller on the handlebars for a 2nd Gen. Mine seems to acting up and not all the script shows on the screen so I just want to see if the controller is at fault or the nut behind the wheel. Any body got one to lend me to try out and potentially sell? Bubber Bike is 2006 Midnight Venture

I don't embellish it was all true and factual. Well as best as I can remember anyway.

OH great another country heard from!

OK! OK! ....We will give you half credit and put it on your permanent record!

Not only did I not take one picture I didn't even buy a 50/50 raffle ticket. What the heck was I thinking? :yikes:

Yes "The Cities" !!! Gives you folks a chance to see building taller than 2 stories!

Grandpagak VERY WELL SAID!! ALL OF THE KITCHEN HELP WAS VERY WELL APPRECIATED.. AND THE PEOPLE WERE FANTASTIC.. BUBBER, DID YOU NOTICED THAT THIS IS THE ONLY TIME OF THE YEAR THAT THE OLD BIRD ACTUALLY WORKS?? USUALLY HE JUST GETS IN THE WAY WITH HIS SUPERVISION?? But he really is handy in the kitchen.. You will notice that I never mentioned the burnt dressing I thought it may be in bad form especially after all the other good food he didn't burn to a crisp. Red1 What Al said. That was mostly accurate, Steve and mildly amusing Red I wasn't shooting for accurate... just the facts mam just the facts. Well that concludes any rebuttal to my accurate and true account of the PIP. It serves to accurately point fingers at the guilty and the innocent oh ya and the occasional by-stander too. I hope I got everybody at least a little. So what ever Black Owl post you will know that it is just all lies and fabrications. Unless it is nice things that he says about me , then you can go ahead and believe it. FAT CHANCE OF THAT!

How accurate is that !!!!! Well said Mr. Garrison Keillor. Dang good thing I am both........ ya sure dream on! Making good friends At the Pork in the Pines Chasing that friggen rooster At the Pork in the Pines Telling Lies and acting smart At the Pork in the Pines

Second installment: showering in public Certain people must have an affinity for cold water because evidently the outside door to the accessible bathroom door was locked so being ingenious he set up a water shower with the garden hose and showered outside in public. Thank God a lot of us were busy working and cooking and didn’t have to witness the spectacle. Oh yah at least he kept his shorts on. Last man (and ladies) standing (who else the Canadians) Well here we are at the breakfast, Monday morning at the restaurant just prior to leaving for home and what am I surrounded by? Canadians…. WOW! Them people sure know how to hang in there till the last dog is hung. As usual the Canadians out numbered all the other states and possibly all others combined. Sure glad they all could make it they sure are fun and they sure can kick it to the final bell. Sure glad you all came eh! Food! food! food! What can I say? We ate the guest of honor, a couple of turkeys, salad, beans, chilli, eggs, potato salad, bread pudding, and everything else that didn’t move or wiggle, and smelt good. Great job to our head cook and bottle washer. Black Owl, ya done good and we love ya man! Mr Roaster and the guest of honor The new and improved roaster that I designed, built and painted all by myself without any help from anyone, worked fantastic! It cooked Mr Pig-a-sorous to perfection. PS the preceding was all lies and mostly fabrication except for the cooking to perfection part. side car ride or aka the thrill of a lifetime We were blessed this year to have a young man at the Pork in the Pines that some would say had a disability. Oh ya he had some problems but don’t we all? He was asked if he would like to have a ride in a side car of one of the Canadians. My God, his eyes lit up and he was ecstatic to have such an opportunity. The joy that Bruce brought to this young man can not be explained unless witnessed. I know I said I wouldn’t name names, well let me be the first to say that I lied. Bruce deserves the recognition for sharing this simple act of kindness with a young man that most likely will never forget that Bruce gave him the freedom that he so long ago surrendered to his disease. May God Bless them both and bring them both back next year to share the joy that we all felt seeing the joy and happiness on this young man’s face do to a simple act of kindness. Thank you Bruce and thank you young man, you are welcome anytime! door prizes WOW door prizes were donated and awarded this year due to the generosity of a number of people that unfortunately I don’t know their names and I previous said I wouldn’t use name anyway. Any way, thanks Bob, Jim & Diane and the others for their generosity. winners and losers Some one made a great rule change during the door prize drawing which was something we should do from here on out. The rule was you can only win once for the prizes this way it spreads it out. We have the same names draw multiple times in the past where one person won the majority of the prizes, Done fair and square, and it was OK. But now more prizes and more people win plus you get to heckle the people drawn multiple times and throw their tickets in the fire to burn for eternity, OPPs I got carried away their for a moment Note to self: buy some tickets so at least you have a chance to win dummy. paying it forward The winner of the 50/50 drawing …….. wait for it………… stated: “Pay it forward” and he donated it back to carry on next Pork in the Pines, Labor Day 2013. Do you believe that? Most everybody else was envisioning the bling they were going to buy for their bike, me included. Note to self: buy a ticket you cheap #$!@$ so at least you have a chance to win. No wonder I haven’t won the Power Ball lottery,. …. Ya gotta buy a ticket. Thanks a hundred times to this generous benefactor!!!!!! cooks little helpers Ya know it takes a lot of planning to pull an event off like this. Without the help of the volunteers and everyone else that just saw some thing that needed to be done and just did it, it just wouldn’t have happened like it did. So thanks to all who helped lift, tote, cleaned, chopped, snipped, cut, wiped and the other million jobs that needed to get done. To those that watched, this was your event too, jump in and make it the best it can be, we all appreciate your help. Two people to single out that we couldn’t have done with out are Marilyn and Terry. Thank you ladies for all your hard work, Cook extraordinaire Black Owl This wouldn’t even begin to happen with out all you generosity of time, talent and funding. Few people know just how much you do to make this all come together. Work fascinates me, I could stand and watch you all day. Seriously, Thanks Owl for all you contribute. Host and hostess Gary & Anne Kloehn Who allow 40 to 60 people to invade their home and property for 4 days every year on Labor Day. Thanks for all that you do, allow us to do, and for what you put up with from all your VenturRider brothers and sister. With out a place to have this event it may never happen. Well that concludes my distorted view of the reality of the Pork in the Pines through my rose colored glasses. I certainly hope that you all had fun, ate to your hearts content, and will return to the PIP and bring a friend or friends with you. Finally to our Canadian friends (and I truly mean that) we will do our best to out number you next year. Until then be safe, enjoy and God’s speed to you all.

First installment of lies I mean facts. Hot Sex Started by a person from NY who spells his name the same backwards and forwards and plays a drum of some kind. Evidently there was Hot Sex being consumed around the camp fire on more than one occasion. Yet none of us men folk were either aware or participated, eh. Note to self: I have got to get better glasses and pay more attention camper races @ 4am Looks like some people like to go out for rides in the middle of the night and didn’t bother to notify or invite anyone else. Quickness evidently prevented a collision between a camper and their ride home. old TV shows Showing our age and our mental acuity we all tried to out do each other by remembering the funniest shows, actors, and skits that are burned into our memories from our childhood, as an example, Twilight Zone, Red Skeleton, I love Lucy, Hecliff the Seagull, Jeff Dunham, Akbar the Terrorist on and on and on laughing till somebody almost pee'd their pants Sitting around the campfire talking about old TV shows and funny segments or skits we remember from years ago certain people were laughing and farting so hard SHE almost pee’d her pants and everyone else was also hold parts of their anatomy so that they didn’t suffer the same consequences Rooster Mr. Rooster almost met his match this year with a feisty red head from Wisconsin who had a cookbook open and he was thumbing through for burnt, mangled, mutilated but silent rooster recipes. sing along at the "Pork in the Pines" Singing songs At the Pork in the Pines Wearing a pig hat At the Pork in the Pines Having a good time At the Pork in the Pines Eating a roast pig At the Pork in the Pines Thanks for the new ballad you guys created At the Pork in the Pines 50/50 tickets Someone actually had part of a good idea but implementation was everything. The suggestion was to hold a 50/50 raffle to raise money for next year's Pork in the Pines (great idea) but we had no pre-printed tickets so they were told to write their name twice on a piece of paper and one half was placed in the jar and the other half was given back to them, then someone said why am I keeping a slip with my name on it………I know who I am…. DUH? 3 beer limit Some people of German heritage seem to have a limited tolerance to beverages made from barley plus they maybe should not sing German folk songs and throw beer in the air for the finally of the song ……. Just saying. pig hat After four years of wearing the pig hat….. now they tell him it wasn’t really mandatory and the person doesn’t really have to wear the hat as an initiation requirement. German folk songs in German and dancing and...... Covered under the three beer limit #8, but there was singing and there was dancing and there was stumbling and a good time was had by at least one…. Huh mein leapshen :rotf: I am working on the second installment!

So here are the topics to come Hot Sex camper races @ 4am old TV shows laughing till somebody almost pee'd their pants rooster sing along at the "Pork in the Pines" 50/50 tickets 3 beer limit pig hat German folk songs in German and dancing and............ showering in public Last man (and ladies) standing (who else the Canadians) Food! food! food! Mr Roaster and the guest of honor side car ride or aka the thrill of a lifetime door prizes winners and losers paying it forward cooks little helpers Cook extraordinaire Host and hostess I am sure there are more topics but somethings are only for those that attended the Pork in the Pines. I will be posting them as I remember all the dirt I mean facts

I am compiling the true facts of the Pork in the Pines to be posted later today after my two brain cells get back from vacation. OH the stories, we laughed, we cried, we ate, we gave thanks, we remembered, we were thankful for friends, life, liberty, and our way of life, we bonded, we watched and took care of each other. We all realize what a great and special group this is and that it is a treasure that is priceless. No names will be mentioned but I am sure you will know any way. I have to go off to start my new job so I will get-R-done later today. Just wanted to warn the guilty parties. And no I don't have pictures so you are safe there! :whistling: :rotf::rotf::rotf:

1 plus days to go before I head out. :banana: Gotta load the trailer and pack some clothes and I'll be ready to boggy.

Ya maybe! NO!!!!!!!! If you do we will all be sober as judges!

Red1 I think he is coming and what he has with the horse is way beyond anything with that silly rooster. :rotf: Maybe this year he will bring his own beer.

We'll leave the light on for ya! Y'all drive careful and we will see ya when ya get there.
