A newer member here, Zzyzx, has stepped up to the plate and donated one of his very nice RSV/RSTD trailer hitches to be auctioned off with all proceeds going to Lonna and that Squid boy guy that she is married to. A huge thanks to Zzyzx. View and bid at this link and remember...it's for a great cause. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/photopost/showproduct.php?product=100

After finally getting fed up with Verizon and stupid bills, I have decided that I'm not going to pay for them anymore. Lonna and I have made the last cut from our Michigan roots and now have new cell phone numbers that reflect our TEXAS life. I have updated my profile info with the new # and will pass it on here for those that might want it. The new # is 936 232 9299, we ended up going with a Walmart family plan that is hosted by T mobile who will soon be under the AT&T umbrella. I have dropped $100 off my cell phone bill per month by doing this as for both Lonna and I it will be 70$ for unlimited talk and text....so buh bye Verizon, and rood riddance! I will be working on updating the call list of the old phones as I will cancel them at the end of this month.

Ok, so my wife has been experimenting with baking. She has some how come by a reciepe for a cheese cake that is great ( sorry none left). Now I am not saying it is going to give Lonna a run for her money, but it sure does a fine job of easing the pain of having to loose all those yummy cheese cakes to them there Texans

I know it probably hasn't happened with the "I Do" yet, but I'm so excited that I couldn't wait to post it up. I wish you both all the best in your future together and look very forward to seeing you again as Mr. & Mrs. Nantais. We love you both, Lonna and I wish we could have been there to see it, just know that we were there in spirit with you and everyone else. God Bless you both and here's to many many happy years together!

We stopped to visit our good friends Brad and Lonna and let Brad take our new Mercedes for a ride around the block. I think he really liked it too.

.....But Finally Finally Finally!....I got a job I'd like to share this with you folks, there are many here in Texas and all over that have helped Lonna and I while we were down and as poor as poor could be. We have the best friends anyone could deserve, and there are many here that I love beyond words. Today, with the help of one of my best friends, Ponch, I was able to get hired in where David works @ Dicar as a machinery maintenance man. The pay is decent, 1/3 less than what I was making....but I have a job. I will tell you all here that I keep things close to the cuff when it comes to how we are doing. We have always been ok, but I have been as depressed and down as any other time in my life. Not being able to support your family wears on a guy. Lonna and I have been "homeless" since we packed up and left out house in Michigan in late October. Gunboat has been the best blessing we could have hoped for, he is one of my best friends and I love him dearly. Without him, we wouldn't have been able to come to Texas, and I can never repay him for all he has put himself through to help both Lonna and myself. I would like to tell you all that I am giddy with excitement, and perhaps tomorrow I will be. But today, I am just relieved, the kind of relief you have when you have been fighting a Gorilla for 7 months and can finally stop fighting with him. I am happy, and I am so looking forward to be able to make some money. I know we all complain about work, I know when it's 100 degrees in August here I will too....but I will remember that I have a job to be able to go to. No great revelations, No banners or Hoopla, just thankful that I can give my brain a little rest and get that elephant off my chest. To all my brothers and sisters here that said a prayer for us....Thank you.

I want to take a few minutes and Thank EVERYONE that was able to make the M&E this Saturday at McRae's. I can't even begin to tell all of you how much this meant to Lonna and myself. Pretty much everyone knows of Lonna's and my plans to move to Texas. As much as we are excited to get out of Michigan, there is a bitter sweet pill to have to swallow, and that is leaving the people here that we care a great deal about. As quite a few of you know, Lonna and I were kept completely in the dark about the "Quilt" that was being made for us by none other than Marca Norg (The better half of Marcarl) and Robin Higson (Wizard 765's better half) It is a beautiful piece and something that Lonna and I will cherish the remainder of our days. Nice work to Freebird that sent out the mass email and helped the accomplices to totally dupe us. This doesn't surprise me as I have been on the planning end of some very secret projects here on the site The time at the restraunt was fantastic and the staff there took good care of us. I'm guessing that about 70 people showed, we had over 30 bikes in the parking lot and 5 cages. Of course after lunch/supper we had to do an ice cream run, which we did up to St. Clair and bombarded a small creamerie who was very thankful that I showed up with 20+ people. Then we went back to our house....and thats where the antics started up. My sister in laws beau while we were gone brought a triwall box full of wood to the house and prepped for a bonfire. There was the usual BSing and then the "Beverages" were being consumed, quite liberally by some. With all the wood gone and some very good story telling...."Can you hear them now Clarice" we retired, none worse for the wear, but very happy to be able to enjoy the company of others. Sunday morning started with it raining ( I wish the weatherman would get his story strait ) and the last stragglers from the day befores escapade loaded up and headed out towards their domiciles. Lonna and I can't remember the last time we had this much fun. I was so glad that everone made it here and back home in 1 piece. So to Marca and Robin for your tireless efforts with the beautiful Quilt, and all their accomplices, we love you folks. To everyone from us THANK YOU we will not forget this weekend for a long time to come, and for the conspiritors that helped in anyway with our wonderful gift....Thank You from the bottom of our hearts.

Folks, While at Maintenance Day Lonna got a call from Kenny Branton, Kbran here on the site. He's not having a good go of this foot situation he suffered a few weeks back when his bike fell on his ankle. This has become much more complicated and Kenny now has a Blood Clot in his lung. He is currently in the hospital and is being treated for this with Coumadin. He is doing as well as can be expected, but asks if you folks would say a prayer for him. He probably wont be able to get on the site for a while, but if you would just take a second to talk with the man upstairs for him I know it would help to ease his and many of our minds. For those of you that dont know much about Kenny, he was Lonna and my savior when we had out accident in January of '08 outside of Baton Rouge. He came right to the hosptal and stayed with us during the entire process. Then had his daughter-in-law come and pick us up and took us to her house where she gave up her bed for us. We went and picked up the bike and he drove us and the bike up to Mean Dogs house in Mississippi where we put the bike in our trailer for our trip back home. They dont came any better than Kenny or his family, please say a prayer for him, Lonna and I owe a lot to this man and his family.

I just got back from a 250 mile round trip to visit with Brad and Lonna, and have brad help me tune my carbs. (well...Brad did all the work, and this was the true reason for the visit!!) Mind you I have never met either of them in person. They invite me to their house. From the time I roll in I felt like we were old friends. They both were happy to meet me and help me make the bike tip top. Well I must say....Brad YOU ROCK my friend. When I pulled into your drive my hands were almost numb from the vibration in my hand grips. I atributed that to my pipes, as that is when I started to notice the vibration. When you were tuning them you said they were not too far off, I must say they must have been farther off then they should have been because I had next to nothing for vibration on the way home. The bike is way more responsive than it had been and now I see more of a need for the clutch kit that is coming. I think I burned more fuel......it's not your fault though.....I couldn't keep my throttle in a steady place due to the new improved performance. I'm sure I must have put a dent in the bug population since I couldn't keep my teeth from showing. I must say this is the most friendly site I have ever been associated with and the people in person are nothing short of extrordinary. It was truely a pleasure to meet both of you and I look forward to M.D. to meet many more. Lonna, Holli doesn't have any rhubarb. Hollar at me if you need anything, especially if you want me to be the guinea pig for any of your taste tests! Well I wouldn't want to have anyone here trying to lose weight have to do it.(I gave up on loseing weight when cheescake is around!) See ya soon. Thanks, Big Mike:dancefool:

I need a little help, some of you know that my wife Sweetnothing is headed to Houston to see her mother in the hospital. The plan for her travels today will hopefully get her to the Little Rock area, or perhaps Texarkana. Could anyone in the area, if they have the info, steer me to a decent place for Lonna and her daughter to spend the night. I want to keep her out of the "Hood" and at a decently priced motel. If anyone can help me out it would greatly be appreciated, my cell is 810 531 5128 and Lonnas is 810 531 4243, thanks in advance....Squid

Anyway it is just so nice that there are so many people, willing to help others here. The help comes in so many ways, Mechanical, opinions, caring words, encouragement, etc.... (this list goes on). I would like to thank Gary N for helping my wife get my Birthday Present. During our last meet and Eat she asked Gary to help her get a pair of lower wind deflectors. Instantly he said yes and had them shipped to Brad and Lonna's place. They came in just before Brad and Lonna came up for the Hair trimming, so they were brought to Hals place (thanks also Brad and Lonna). Where Rhonda was able to get them home. I know I have no pictures that is because Gary told me to put my tools away so they are not mounted yet, untill he comes to help Rhonda put them on:sign20:. Thanks goes out to all. Brad
