    Wife wanted me to finish the trim and do some painting on the front porch deck.
    Olbill called and said he was gonna ride down to the dealer. Told the wife that I don't have the right color of paint. So got on the Springer and went to fetch some. Course I took the loooonnng way to get their. 4 hours later I called her and she said you must have meant up with Bill. Nope told her he was a no show so I went riding and decided to take the long way home. I just finished the trim before the rain coming in tonight.:D
    Guys gotta do what a guys gotta do.:D

    Thought the meeting was good it was exactly 1hr. 15min. the only thing i think was boring was the covered bridge thing was tooooooooo long got home at decent hour didn't have to drive almost to Salem to get to the meeting [I had to say that] Sat will tell me more on my decision what I'm getting in to.

    I didn't think the meeting was to good, kind of boring. Boy not much for upcoming rides. They need to take a lesson from Sunset. How did you like Tim and his life size Teddy Bear. Don't think I can follow him down the road to The Dalles next month.

    I totally agree we haven't a good meeting since Dan was doing the meetings.I take Tim with a grain of salt he tries but to hang a life size bear on the back of bike it's a accident looking foe a place to happen .They made Dave a road capt. last nite he has a good ride planned Bob and i road it with him when he was laying it out he is a rider. I just hope he doesn't get beat down buy the good ol boy's.

    To bad they didn't announce it, but how could they make him a full Road Captain when he has not even followed the rule that you must first lead a ride. Sunset has a much better handle on it. These guys are making their own rules when as feel like it.

    This is why I can't get myself to join up to the local HOG chapter, I can't stand all the political ego crap. I'd much rather stay home and clean the spokes in my wheels.

    But, I'm always riding alone :( :D :(

    It used to be a really fun group and I looked forward to going to chapter meetings and events but not any longer. The power women have taken over and it has become basically a women's chapter.
    Nothing against women but when they want to control a riding group manly made of men and push there way it really sucks.

    I ride with Hot Rider and that is about it. There are certain select people that I will ride with but that is about it. OH yeah, I don't wave to people anymore either.

    I ride alone. Once in a while I might flash a peace sign to a passing biker but I keep my hands on the grips. Welcome back, Johnny!
