Good evening folks...we lost a couple family members over the past couple weeks...Sammi our 18+ year old Mainecoon passed away over July 4th....Precious, our adopted calico feral, who has lived with us the past 4 years, disappeared one morning...most likely coyotes,but may have been a red hawk as we have some very large ones around here...gonna miss em for sure....God has some new friends to keep him company....ride hard, ride often, ride safer...

Since when does Nike and its paid spokesman...mind u paid from the sweat of poor Indonesians making their shoes, (in essence modern day slaves), become the interpreter of our past?..they can only whine thanks to the selfless sacrifice of our forefathers...who they now condemn....Nike and Colin are the true definition of hypocrisy...if Nike was so concerned, maybe they would send some of the money to their employees,...See More instead of giving out massive million dollar shoe contracts to NBA and pro athletes....who live lavishly off these people paid pennies on the dollar of American workers...yea, they are true social justice champions, as long as they get their money....

Good morning all....I think my cats are performing Satanic Rituals at nite....leave me reminders of their nocturnal activities from time to time....off for a cool morning ride, before the real hot days arrive later this week....enjoy the day all....ride hard, ride often, ride safer.... :)

Happy Fourth of July all.... ride hard, ride often, ride safer...

Good evening all...haven't had much time with my youngest son lately..between our work schedules and his new lady, but yesterday afternoon he asked if I wanted to ride to Prescott for dinner..stopped on the northwest side of Prescott and grabbed a couple pics of a Zebra feeding on a ranch called Zebrascape...then had some great slices at Bill's Pizza on Whiskey Row, and then a dark and lonely ride back up thru Skull...See More Valley and Bagdad....nice to have some family time amidst the work week...next weekend, gonna try and make a quick NM TX ride to visit my parents grave and cruise the mountains of NM...Sturgis is just around the corner....have a great week all....ride hard, ride often, ride safer... :)

Good afternoon all....been pretty busy the past few weeks as we are hauling 4500+ tons of rebar down to Yuma for the Border Wall...some pics below of panels waiting to be installed, and a pic of some of the installed wall from about a mile away...couldn't ride my Road Glide across the desert for a closer look, and didn't want to chance a flat in the storage yard..this project is for about 30 miles of the wall east...See More of the San Luis POE...next up, is another 30 mile project over by Calexico....a side note, the foreman installing the panels told me that they are getting between 50 and 100 illegals crossing at the job site daily....just about all are Central Americans....the wall in this section is 30 to 40' tall....shorter the further away from the town and Port of Entry...one last side note, all the steel in the wall is American made...ride hard, ride often, ride safer.... :)

A woman in a hot air balloon realizes she is lost. She lowers her altitude and spots a man fishing from a boat below. She shouts to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The man consults his portable GPS and replies, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.

She rolls her eyes and says, "You must be a Republican!"

"I am," replies the man. "How did you know?"

"Well," answers the balloonist, "everything you tell me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you're not much help to me."

The man smiles and responds, "You must be a Democrat."

"I am, replies the balloonist. "How did you know?"

"Well," says the man, "You don't know where you are or where you're going. You've risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and now you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but, somehow, now it's my fault."
