Hey guys! Long time no talk.

What has happened since we spoke last? Oh, so much!

I moved 500 miles from where I was, lived in my trailer for 5 months while my wife stayed back. We sent our two girls to live with their Grandmother for the year so they didn't miss any school. We're all together again now, and they're in school here.

My wife got a job here and has been promoted a couple times. She's always an over achiever. And me... I'm a Police Officer. Have been for almost two years here.

Still have Grace. The frame is cracked, but I'm getting a new one within the next couple weeks. A weld failed, so the MoCo is giving me the frame.

Hey stranger!!!!....Good to hear from you. Glad to read that things are going well. It's nice to hear when things work out well for a family.
Hope you get your bike back together and on the road again.

For a couple of more days, anyway. It's been a great time so far. Looked at rent-a-Harley, but I can't depend on my knee and wouldn't take a chance with the two of us on a rental. Don't think I'll let her on my bike until I get it fixed. This road would be fun:


This was today's plane:

Fantastic!!!! Nothing better than a biplane with a big round engine.....that's flying as it was meant to be.

Shouldn't be too long. Planning an Iron Butt ride this summer too.

That road looks awesome! Flying looks even better. I have to agree. Open cockpit rotary air cooled engine. Flying at its best!

Hey Rip. Good to hear from you again.

That bi-plane would most definitely be a hoot. I would love to go up in one of those too!

We could have been like the masses and rode in an enclosed helo, but I've had my eye on the biplane since I started planning this gig about 6 months ago. 7 rotary cylinders thumping away was way cool, and the wind in the hair couldn't be topped No barrel rolls or upside down flying, though. I would have dug it, but Chris.....?

IH. it is good to see you are still jamming! Bummer on the bike, but that new frame will cure the ills. Also, it's great things have worked out family wise!

I have a rather large collection of old persimmon woods that I just can't seem to part with. Sneads, Hogans, Murphys and others. I've given away some sets, but still have 4 or 5 full sets of lefty clubs and a couple of sets of righties. Lots of putters too, naturally, but I truly love my Rainbow. The angle of the face just puts the best roll on the ball with my stroke of all the putters I have ever used.
