HELLO TO ALL,
AS YOU CAN TELL FROM THE LAST POST, I'VE RETURNED FROM ATLANTA. SPENT SATURDAY PUTTING UP THE HAND RAILINGS ON MOM'S NEW FRONT PORCH. ALL THAT'S LEFT ON THE PORCH IS CUTTING OFF THE POSTS AND CAPPING THEM AND, COVERING UNDERNEATH THE PORCH WITH SOMETHING. STILL HAVE TO FIX THE BRAKE LINE ON THE TRUCK, AND TRY TO DO SOME CATCHING UP AT HOME. THE KID WE HIRED TO PAINT THE BARN HAS BEEN GONE MOST OF THE SUMMER WITH SOME BAND THING AND CAME HOME SATURDAY. THE WIFE SAYS HE PAINTED THE WEST WALL TODAY AND HOPES TO FINISH THE OTHER TWO WALLS BEFORE HE GOES TO COLLEGE ON THURSDAY. I'M GOING TO STOP AT MENARDS AND BUY MYSELF A NEW WEED WHACKER AND A NEW SPRAYER FOR THE FOUR WHEELER. THE WEEDS HERE ARE SOME KIND OF INDUSTRIAL MUTATION. SO IT'S TIME FOR SOME HEAVY DUTY WHACKING AND SPRAYING. BEFORE I LEFT FOR ATLANTA I GOT OUT IN THE GARDEN AND I THINK I SAVED EVERYTHING BUT THE GREEN BEANS, THE WIFE GOT SOME TOMATOES AND ZUCHINI THE OTHER NIGHT SO, I THINK WHAT'S LEFT WILL SURVIVE.
WORK IS STILL CRAZY, BUT AT LEAST I'M WORKING, I GUESS THAT'S A BLESSING , BUT I'M FEELING IT EVERYDAY. FRIDAY WAS THREE JOBS, AND TODAY WAS FOUR. LOOKS LIKE TOMORROW WILL BE AST LEAST TWO AND POSSIBLY THREE. WELL LIKE I SAID, AT LEAST I'M STILL WORKING.
COUSIN BOB CAME IN FROM CONNETICUT, FOR A VISIT ON SUNDAY, HE'S BEEN AREAL JOY TO HAVE IN THE FAMILY. AN AUNT OF MINE GAVE HIM UP FOR ADAOPTION IN THE FORTIES AND HE FOUND US JUST AFTER SHE PASSED AWAY. HE'S BEEN A BLAST TO BE AROUND SINCE WE FIRST MET HIM.
WELL, I GUESS THAT'S ALL FOR NOW.
TALK TO YOU SOON,

HOW DO YOU SAY HAVE A SAFE TRIP IN SOUTH AFRICAN?
HELLO TO ALL,
WELL I ARRIVED AT THE FACTORY THIS MORNING AND THE FIRST MACHINE I DID YESTERDAY IS BEING LOADED ON A TRUCK AND DRIVEN TO JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA, TO START IT'S JOURNEY TO SOUTH AFRICA. THE OTHERS WERE STILL THERE WHEN I LEFT TO GO BACK TO THE HOTEL.
I'M GOING TO GO DOWN AND SEE IF THEY HAVE A WHIRLPOOL AT THE HOTEL, I KIND OF HOPE SO I NEED A SOAK!
I HAD DINNER AT PANERA BREAD LAST NIGHT(A STRAWBERRY CHICKEN SALAD WITH BLUEBERRY VINAGRETTE, YUMMY) AND TONIGHT I THINK THE OLIVE GARDEN (TWO OF MINE AND MY WIFE'S FAVORITE PLACES!). SHE WAS AT THE GARDEN IN NASHVILLE AND SAYS THEY HAVE SOME KIND OF SHISH KABOB THING, SO, I THOUGHT I'D TRY THAT. BESIDES, I LOVE THEIR COFFEE, DARK ITALIAN ROAST, COULD BE MY FAVORITE, OR FRENCH DARK ROAST, OR MAYBE.................. YOU GET THE PICTURE.
WELL, ALL IN ALL NOT A BAD TRIP, FOR THE FIRST TRIP OUT OF TOWN FOR THE COMPANY I WORK FOR. I'D MUCH RATHER HAVE BEEN DOING A SCHOOL, BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT THEY PAY ME FOR I GUESS. OH WELL, BACK TO THE GRIND ON FRIDAY. MY COUSIN BOB IS COMING TO MY MOM'S FOR A VISIT ON SUNDAY, SO SATURDAY IS GOING TO BE BUSY DOING THE RAILINGS AT MOM'S HOUSE, IT SHOULDN'T BE TOO BAD. I HAVE 2/3 OF IT CUT ALLREADY AND THE REST ARE SMALLER SECTIONS.
WELL, I GUESS THAT'S ALL FOR NOW.

OH, ATLANTA.....WELL NOT QUITE
HELLO TO ALL,
WELL THE TITLE SORT OF SAYS IT ALL. I FLEW TO ATLANTA AND THEN RENTED A CAR AND DROVE TO NEWNAN, GEORGIA FOR WORK. NOT FAR FROM ATLANTA, ABOUT THIRTY MINUTES SOUTHWEST. ONE OF THE DEALERSHIPS THE COMPANY HAS IS A KAWASAKI LOADER DEALERSHIP. SO.....I CAME TO THE AMERICAN ASSEMBLY PLANT TO "CHRISTEN" FOUR MACHINES THAT A CUSTOMER BOUGHT AND IS SHIPPING TO SOUTH AFRICA. SEEMS KIND OF A ROUNDABOUT WAY OF DOING IT BUT, I GET A MINI VACATION OUT OF THE DEAL.
WELL, NOT EXACTLY. I WORKED FROM 6 THIS MORNING TILL 6 TONIGHT, AND TOMORROW WILL BE ABOUT THE SAME. BUT I GET TO SLEEP IN ON THURSDAY BECAUSE MY FLIGHT BACK DOESN'T LEAVE UNTIL 2:45 OR SO(IN THE AFTERNOON). IT'S NOT BAD WORK, CHECKING EVERYTHING, PRESSURES, RPM'S, CYCLE TIMES, ALL THE B.S. STUFF.
AT HOME, I DID GET SOME OF THE HANDRAILS MADE FOR MOM'S FRONT PORCH, THE TRUCK STILL NEEDS A BRAKE LINE, PLUS EVERYTHING ELSE THAT HASN'T GOTTEN DONE SO FAR THIS SUMMER.
OH, THE CLASS REUNION WAS AN ABSOULUTE BLAST! I HAD SO MUCH FUN. IF I CAN FIND IT I'LL POST A PICTURE OF THREE OF THE GUYS I WAS IN AUTO SHOP WITH. THREE OF US ARE STILL MECHANICS, AND ONE OF THEM IS A HELL OF A MUSICIAN, BUT FROM TALKING WITH HIM AT THE REUNION HE STILL USES THE SKILLS HE LEARNED IN "WILD" WARREN HOUSINGER'S CLASS.
WELL, I THINK THAT'S ALL FOR NOW.

YOU COULD FRY AN EGG......
HELLO TO ALL,
MAN IT'S HOT. THIS IS AS HOT A SUMMER AS I CAN REMEMBER. THE OLDER I GET, THE MORE I CAN'T TAKE THE HEAT. I DON'T THINK I'LL EVER LIVE IN FLORIDA OR ARIZONA. I'D LIKE TO FIND A PLACE WHERE THERE'S A LITTLE LESS WINTER, BUT NOT SOME PLACE WHERE YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR IT IN MISERABLE SUMMERS.
OH WELL, I'VE BEEN TELLING YOU HOW BUSY WORK HAS BEEN, AND TODAY THEY HIRED FOUR MORE GUYS! THAT'S EIGHT GUYS IN FOURTEEN MONTHS. EVERYONE ELSE I TALK TO IN THIS BUSINESS IS LAYING OFF OR HOLDING THEIR OWN. I SAID IT BEFORE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THESE PEOPLE ARE DOING BUT APPARENTLY IT'S THE RIGHT THING.
I SPENT THE WEEKEND WORKING ON THE PORCH AT MY MOM'S HOUSE, GOT THE DECK ON IT AND THE STAIRS PUT ON SO NOW SHE CAN GET IN AND OUT BY HERSELF. I ABOUT DIED ON SUNDAY IT WAS SO HOT, BUT MADE IT THROUGH AND SHE'S HAPPY. HOPE TO FINISH NEXT WEEKEND. I JUST HAVE THE HANDRAILS AROUND THE DECK AND THE SPINDLES TO PUT ON, OH YEAH AND COVER THE BOTTOM WITH SOMETHING. I'LL POST A FEW PICTURES WHEN IT'S DONE. I THINK MY WIFE TOOK SOME PICTURES OF IT BEFORE WE STARTED SO, IF I CAN FIND THEM I'LL POST SOME OF THOSE TOO.
I HAD A PINHOLE IN A BRAKE LINE ON MY PICKUP THAT I HAVE TO REPAIR, BUT I HAVE TO DROP THE GAS TANK TO FIX IT CORRECTLY, AND I JUST DON'T HAVE THE GUMPTION TO LAY ON MY BACK ON THE HOT ASPHALT AND START ON IT SO, IT'S NOT FIXED YET(GLAD WE HAVE TWO CARS LOL!).
EVERYTHING AT THE HOUSE HAS BEEN ON HOLD SINCE WE BOUGHT THE HOUSE FOR MOM. THE WEEDS ARE TERRIBLE, THE GARDEN IS ALMOST LOST. I'M HOPING TO GET OU THERE AND AT LEAST SAVE THE TOMATOES, BUT I DON'T KNOW YET JUST WHEN THAT WILL BE.
WELL, I GUESS THAT'S ALL FOR NOW.

AMCA MEET IN WAUSEON
HELLO TO ALL,
THE AMCA MEET IN WAUSEON WAS ONE OF THE COOLEST THINGS I'VE BEEN TO IN A LONG TIME. THERE WAS EVERY KIND OF BIKE IMAGINABLE THERE. FROM BULTACOS TO ZUNDAPPS, PLUS A BUNCH OF OTHER STUFF, INCLUDING A 1947 CHAINSAW WITH A 62" BAR!
THE ONE GUY I WANTED TO MEET WASN'T THERE ON FRIDAY BUT I DID MEET HIS DAD, WHICH WAS PRETTY COOL. HE WASN'T COMING IN TILL LATE FRIDAY AND I LEFT ABOUT 4:OO SO I COULD PICK UP MY YOUNGEST SON AT BOY SCOUT CAMP.
UNFORTUNATELY THE ONE VENDOR I WANTED TO TALK TO HAD TRUCK TROUBLE AND THEY WEREN'T THERE BEFORE I LEFT EITHER. OH WELL, THAT'S PART OF LIFE TOO.
HENDERSON AND EXCELSIOR MOTORCYCLES WERE THE FEATURED BIKES THIS YEAR AND THERE WERE SOME STUNNING EXAMPLES, INCLUDING A SIX CYLINDER VERSION OF A HENDERSON, THAT THE GUY ACTUALLY DROVE AROUND THE FAIRGROUNDS. ON THE WAY THERE FRIDAY MORNING FOUR OR FIVE GUYS PASSED ME UP ON THE TOLL ROAD DRIVING OLD "KNUCKLE HEAD" HARLEYS. THESE BIKES ARE FROM THE MID THIRTIES TO THE LATE FORTIES, AND THESE GUYS HAD THEM PACKED FOR CAMPING AND ALL HAD OKLAHOMA PLATES. THESE BIKES ARE SEVENTY TO EIGHTY YEARS OLD AND THEY PASSED ME LIKE I WAS STANDING STILL.
ALMOST EVERY BIKE ON DISPLAY OR BROUGHT IN FOR JUDGING WAS DRIVEN AROUND THE FAIRGROUNDS AT SOME TIME OR ANOTHER. SOME OF THEM WERE RESTORED, BUT THERE WERE SEVERAL ORIGINAL PAINT BIKES THERE TOO.
MAN, I WAS IN HEAVEN! I'D REALLY LIKE TO GO BACK NEXT YEAR, BECAUSE SOME OF THESE BIKES ARE OLD RACING BIKES AND THEY ACTUALLY STILL RACE THEM ON A FLAT TRACK RIGHT AT THE FAIRGROUNDS. THAT WOULD BE PRETTY COOL TO SEE.
OH WELL, I GUESS THAT'S ALL FOR NOW.
TALK TO YOU SOON,

P.S. MY FORTIETH CLASS REUNION IS ON SATURDAY, AND THAT'S SOUNDS LIKE FUN. OTHER THAN HAVING TO MOVE MY MOM, IT'S BEEN A REALLY FUN SUMMER SO FAR.(IF ONLY WORK WASN'T GETTING IN THE WAY!) LOL

HOLY CRAP!
HELLO TO ALL,
WELL, I'VE BEEN BACK FROM THE BIG ADVENTURE FOR ABOUT ALMOST A MONTH, AND THINGS ARE JUST AS CRAZY AS EVER.
I'VE WORKED ONLY ONE 8 HOUR DAY AT WORK SINCE I'VE BEEN BACK, ALL THE REST HAVE BEEN AT LEAST TEN(BUT NO WEEKENDS). THOSE ARE RESERVED FOR ALL THE OTHER THINGS THAT NEED TO BE DONE THAT DON'T GET DONE MONDAY- FRIDAY, AND THAT LIST SEEMS ENDLESS. PLUS MY WIFE AND I BOUGHT A HOUSE FOR MY MOM TO MOVE INTO, AND OF COURSE IT NEEDS WORK. PLUS PACKING AND MOVING HER, ETC., ETC., ETC.. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON SATURDAY, THAT'S WHEN WE HAVE HELP LINED UP. HOPEFULLY IT GOES SMOOTHLY.
I DID HAVE ONE EVENING OFF AND I WENT TO THE ANNUAL CRUISE NIGHT IN RENSSELAER. I LOVE THAT EVENT. THERE ARE SOME REALLY COOL CARS, BIKES, AND EVEN AN OLD SEMI OR TWO. MY FAVORITE SEMI, AND IT SHOWS UP EVERY YEAR, IS A MACK B61 THERMODYNE. IT JUST REMINDS ME OF MY DAD.
WELL, I DECIDED TO TAKE FRIDAY OFF AND GO TO WAUSEON, OHIO. THE ANTIQUE MOTORCYCLE CLUB OF AMERICA HAS A NATIONAL MEET THERE THIS WEEKEND AND I'M GOING TO GO TONIGHT, SPEND THE NIGHT AND COME HOME TOMORROW EVENING. I HAVE TO PICK UP MY YOUNGEST SON AT BOY SCOUT CAMP IN FORT WAYNE ON THE WAY HOME TOMORROW. HE HAS A 4H TRACTOR DRIVING CONTEST ON SATURDAY MORNING AND THEN HE'S HELPING MOVE MOM AFTER THAT.
I'LL POST SOME PICTURES FROM WAUSEON WHEN I GET A MOMENT BETWEEN WORK AND HOME, AND OH YEAH THE FAIR STARTS THIS WEEK TOO!
HOPEFULLY WHEN MOM GETS MOVED THINGS WILL LIGHTEN UP A LITTLE, BECAUSE IF THEY DON'T, HOLY CRAP!
WELL I GUESS THAT'S ALL FOR NOW.
