They aren't paying me all that much to begin with, but apparently the going rate in Chatham is pretty close to minimum wage. The day of the good paying jobs are over I think.
Lot of folks here in your southern neighbor are making less than they did 20 years ago, and that's not even adjusting for inflation. We're saying goodbye to our prime consumers and tax payers, don't know who's gonna buy all the chinese stuff and pay the country's bills pretty soon.

Good looking motorsickle, Mikee! You are going to love it. And, I believe you'll look like a King while you're riding it. BTW, Chris thinks the bag openers look like toilet flushers, too! I do love the looks of RK's, but really like that batwing out there for the masses of bugs, and for riding in hail and rain.

The only move I'll probably ever make toward a new bike will be to turn mine into a trike. That way I won't fall over at the gas stations. Doc is getting a little long in the tooth, and Ken has a useless back, for helping me pick it up. HD is done making big money from me.

67* and sunny here. Supposed to be in the mid-80's here today, but that is what the predictors said about yesterday. They were only wrong by 10*. Morons.

I'll be out on the Softail later. The Glide has been doing a lot of resting lately.

Ucan, good to hear the new stents are doing well!

My parents will be 85 this year and are still doing pretty well. They can still manage to drive that RV all over the country without running over everything, and that is what really keeps them ticking. I wish I had a real idea of how many miles my dad has driven in his lifetime. More than a couple million would be a good guess, which isn't too bad for a guy who wasn't a truck driver.

Chris' dad turns 90 next month. He is still a pretty sharp cookie, but he sticks pretty close to the homestead now days. His wife, who is now 91, has had her share of troubles the last several years, but is still feisty. Chris' mother is going to be 89, but she is not sharp.
