On the fly!

Hey Y'all!
This is a quick post and I'm wingin' it. Friday was church. We all got together at the bosses house and had a big ol spread to eat. Everybody brought something. We had our meeting and then chowed down!

This morning after several attempts to get outta bed I finnaly drug my sorry ass out of it around noon. I had to take off outta town to pick up a whole hog that we are using for a pig pickin' at the end of the poker run we are putting on. We got that whole hog on the gril tonight and lettin' him slow cook over at the bosses house. Tommorow I will be busy working one of the stops on the poker run and then at the end with whatever needs being done.

It's a lot of work but well worth it and it's fun too.

Well I ain't gonna stay on here long. Still gotta get my shower and then make it to bed to get up early tommorow.

Take care Y'all!

Damn if this week ain't flyin' bye!!!

Howdy Y'all!
I can't believe it's thursday already! I did my usuall wednesday nite thing and hung out at my club brothers bar last night. Made it home at 4am.

Yesterday was interesing. I spent some good time with the boss and mama before going to the bar. Before that I was at the tattoo place talking about some some new tattoo work. I have decided I want full sleeves. I have wanted to do that for awhile, but the time never seemed right. I can afford to get it all done right now, but since I am not working and have little money comming in I am going to take it one at a time. I am planning it out piece by piece. I don't wanna break my bank over a bunch of tatts. It will take many months of planning and drawing and tattooing, but I am off to a start. Mama isn't too thriled about it since she doesn't exactly like the full sleeve thing. The boss thinks it's cool. I guess it's a guy thing. I am excited.

The place I'll be using is ultra clean. As a matter of fact the health dept. is using their place to make a training film on how to keep things clean. The lady from the health dept. was in there talking to them while I was there yesterday. This place ain't some booth at the swap meet. It is more of a salon setting. The work I have seen come out of there is excellent and they stay very very busy.

I have been tattooed at all kindsa places all over the U.S. From the back of a old bus, to metal shacks, to tattoo parlors galore. I am impressed with this place. It's family owned. The father is the ink slinger, the son ownes the place, and his Mom is a nurse by professsion that keeps a eye on things.

I did have a job interview today. It isn't the thing that is kinda in the works I am waiting on. It was at a convienince store. My interview lasted all of about two minutes. When I told them the hours I was available to work, it was not what they were looking for. My nights and weekends are commited. The lady did thank me for telling her up front instaed of playing games with her just to get hired. Something is gonna come along. I wish I could tell ya about the thing in the works, but it will have to wait depending on the outcome of somethings. I don't wanna say too much just yet. It could fall through at any minute. Believe me if it works out, You'll hear about it.

Y'all take care!

Wall Mart Tuesday

Hey Y'all!
Today was a trip to wall mart with dad to get all our stuff restocked. I am a happy camper with sodas and snacks and all that stuff. Even got stuff to make a sandwich or two.

I don't know if I have ever told it here, but me and dad don't cook here at the house. It is just something we don't do. Believe me it may sound nice, but ya just don't know how much I apreciate a good home cooked meal these days. Food that ya get eating out just gets to tasting blah after awhile. I like me some good down home southern cookin' too. Thats why I like eating at my sister inlaws when I can. She knows how to cook southern. I know how to eat southern too.

I made it up at my usual noon time. The maids had been here running the vacume and cleaning the bathroom that is right by my bedroom. I didn't hear a thing. One day this is all gonna come to a end and I will have to work for a living again. I still haven't heard anything on the job thing that may be in the works. Maby I will know more tomorow. Keep them fingers crossed people!

I am shure a lot of people who read here think Dang! I got it made. Well you are right. I got it made cause of one reason. My dad. He takes real good care of me. I am fortunate to be living under his roof. If I was back living on my own again, times would be tougher than they are right now. I am Humble and thankfull that the good Lord has provided me with such good things in life.

Todays post is dedicated to my dad he turned 79 back on the 19th of april. Dad will never read this cause he doesn't even know how to turn on a computer and has no desire to learn how to.

Here's to you Dad!!!!!

I'm still here!

Hey Y'all!
I haven't posted in awhile cause I hate to say it, but my blog has taken a back seat to my activities and adventure in life and other things. It seems that has been happening alot lately.

I only got a few braincells left so let me try and pull from this sive of my mind some of the stuff I have been up to. Friday night I stayed out late going around to some of the other clubs houses and to a bar. Saturday I was supposed to get up and go on a run, but the run got cancelled due to the weather. I met up with one of the club brothers and we had lunch at hooters. I ended up going out saturday night. Sunday I made it to a run that my relations brother rode with us. He had a blast. I had fun too. Here it is monday and a new week has begun.

Ya know, I have had my eye out for someone to ride with me and do things with me. It seems impossible because even though we as a club go out to bars, when we are together we pretty much stick together. You don't realize just how much being in a club alienates you from people. The circles I run in I get to see either someones girlfriend or wife. No singles around. Really it's the truth. I signed up for this online dating service thing, but it ain't working for me. I am always gone or on the computer to take care of buisness or not around when someone else is online etc. ect. etc. Which also highlites another problem I have. So many times when I go out and do things it is spontanious with short notice. Make a phone call and off I go. Some things I do regular, but many things I do not.

When I was at one of the other clubs clubhouse yesterday I was asked by one of there patches wifes if I had a girlfriend or had ever been married and why not. I kinda get use to it cause once people find out I am a nice guy they can't figure out why I don't have a lady on my arm. I get used to answering those questions cause I hear it all the time. Ya know, all I can say is I ain't got it figgured out my damn self. Maby having a signifigant other just don't fit into my lifestyle and the way I run my life. Being unemployed don't help much either. I have been mostly the loner type all my life, which breaking out of that ain't easy either.

Oh well I guess I needed to rant.

Till next time, Take Care Everybody!

I hope you like the pic I have posted today. I don't know if you can tell what it is but it's a shot of a board track racer.

To me the board track racer was the greatest of motorcycle daredevils of all time. There are no board track races anymore. They use to do it back in the 20's and 30's on a track made out of wood. It was dangerous and if you went down, very painfull. There was not much protective gear, maby a long sleeve sweater and a leather helmet. Think of the splinters and such. These guys were riding machines designed specifically for the sport and at the time they were very fast. You really had to have some balls to ride ona board track. I wish I could go back in time and sit in the stands and watch a board track race.

Well I'm doin' fine today. Did my usuall run to my club brothers bar and stayed out till the wee hours of the morning. Had a good time. There is a tattoo place next to his bar and the people there are great. Our treasurer got our club's logo tattooed on his shoulder. It looks excellent. It is a exact replication of our colors. And when I say exact I mean exact. The guy did a awsome job. I am having the guy work me up a tatt with our clubs initials that I am gonna have put on my neck. I can't get the full logo yet cause I haven't been in the club long enough. That will come in a few more years.

Well Y'all take care!

Big Monday

Hey There!
I gotta say today was recouperation day from the weekend. I made it up at 1300, did some stuff around town and did alot of napping in the computer chair. I really am feeling like going back to work now. Don't get me wrong, this vacation has been nice. There are some things possibly in the works that I might know better on in a coupla weeks. I haven't mentioned it here cause these things have been known to fall thru at the last minute. I am not gonna elaborate except to say it's what I like doin' and the people I may be working for is great.

Today it was quite windy around here. I didn't get out and do any riding. Maby tommorow when the wind dies down I will get out on the bike some. I am funny about riding when it is real windy out. I don't like it. I can handle my bike quite well in the wind, it just makes me uncomfortable.

For those of you that are in my family that read here, remember dads brithday is on the 19th. He'll be 79. He's getting on up there ya know. He is at that age that every year that clicks by really shows on him. I am glad he has a girlfriend and still gets out when he feels like it. Today was a stay at home day for him. He didn't feel like doin' much except watching T.V. and reading the newspaper. Alot of times he likes to go to the waffle house and have lunch. Since I didn't make it up till the afternoon, he decied he would rather me bring him some lunch. I brought us back sandwiches from subway. Tonight he still seems to be in that "don't want much to eat" mood. I stopped by a local southern cookin' restaurant and got me a plate to bring home and all dad wanted was some soup from chick fil a. I have learned not to worry when he gets like that. If he gets hungry, he will eat.

BTW I got dad a subscription to the wall street journal for six months for his birthday. I am not shure if there is a carrier here, it may hafta come by mail. I didn't know what to get him and the boss from the motorcycle club sugested I get him some kinda publication from the stock market. I figure if he likes the wall street journal, I'd know by six months. You know how dad is into the stock market.

Well Y'all take care and have a wonderfull week!

Another slice of the life

Howdy Y'all!
I haven't posted for the last few days cause as usuall I have been busy as a blind dog in a butcher shop going places and doin' stuff with my club brothers. Friday night was church(club meeting). Saturday we had a run to go on. I did the run then made the long drive home and took a nap. When I woke up I went back to where the run ended at another clubs clubhouse and caught up with the Boss and Mama. We hung out for a little while and then I followed them to their house and slept on the couch. This morning we got up and had a easter/surprise birthday party for our V.P. I enjoyed myself taking it all in.

Tonight now I am relaxing. Dad went to my aunts house for easter dinner and is back home watching the football game and I am in my usuall roost, the computer chair. I still got somethings to do before bed tonight, but I should get some good rest.

Well, Y'all take care!

A Good night

Howdy Y'all!
Today I took my bike into the shop So when they could get to it and change the front tire. Tonight I got a call from the boss. He and Mama were going out to one of the clubhouses and then to some bars after that. I tagged along and had a good time.

While we were at one of the other clubs clubhouse I was payed some very serious deep respect. It didn't hit me untill the boss mentioned it to me later. The club we stopped by there house is having a run on saturday that my club will be attending. Since I don't know if my bike would be ready, I was gonna show up in my truck if necisarry. One of the patchholders from the club that is doin' the run wants me to ride his bike on the run since mine might be down! That might not sound like much, but ya gotta realize a patchholder offering you his bike is almost like him offering you his wife or better. One thing ya don't do is ride other club members bikes unless it is a emergency like they are too drunk to ride it home, and usually they would prefer it parked someplace safe instead of ridden. It is their bike period. It's a pretty big deal. I don't know what I have done to deserve that kinda respect, but it is a big honor.

Soon in just a few short hours I gotta get up and make the trip up the road to the V.A. for a apointment. I still got a e-mail to write and get a shower. I might be hurting tomorow, but tonight has been a really good night.

Take care now!

Late night

Yep today was wednesday and as always I was at my club brothers bar. It's after 0300 as I write this. I have tuned into such a night owl.

We had fun at the bar sitting around and shootin' the shit. I drank plenty of ice water. I am beat now. Mama was having a playfull argument with one of the regulars and didn't want to go home untill she realized it was really late and she had to be up in a few hours. Time flies when yer havin' fun. I missed dinner so it was krystals at 0130 while driving down the road. Eating and driving. They say it is good for the digestion. At least I wasn't smoking a cigarette and talking on the cell phone too. That came later.

The weekend is fast aproaching and it is supposed to be a busy one. My bike has a screw in the front tire. I can't get the tire replaced untill hopefully friday. If the shop I use can't get to it friday they will do it saturday. If they do it saturday it throws a monkey wrench into my plans. I am supposed to be on a run saturday. There is no way I can ride my bike safely with the screw in it for any distance. It's one of those simple things that require immediate attention. Since it is a front tire there is no plugging it and going down the road. I would be taking my life in my hands if I did that.

Rubber side down!

Tuesday alive and kickin'!

Hey Y'all!
I had a nice day today relaxing. Didn't do much even though the weather is beutiful here. I did get out on the bike at dusk and rode to my brothers house to sit and visit for awhile. It was a nice ride but a little cool out since I only had my jeans, a t-shirt and a denim jacket on with my cut over it. Now I am home in my usuall spot here in front of the 'puter.

Dad went out and had dinner at church tonight. I hate to stay here at the house alone. Me and dad spend most of our time in different parts of the house, but I still know it when he is gone. Dad says he had a good time at church tonight. Before I took off to my brothers house I ate a big platefull of sushi. Most of my family doesn't care for it except one of my brothers, but I am a fan of good sushi. Maby it is from those port visits to japan when I was in the navy and would go out and get sushi. It was always a treat.

Well I hope this week is going along good for everyone!

Take Care!

Back in one piece

Hey Y'all!
I am back and doin' fine! Had a good weekend and got to hang out with brothers from all over the place. It was alot of time on the road. Due to the weather we took cages. Shure did wish I had my bike for the return trip cause the weather had cleared and got nice. Due to the distance we were traveling it was more doable in cages though too.

Had a job interview this morning. Have ya ever walked away from one of those with no clue if the outcome was good or bad? Thats my feeling on it. I don't know if it was good or bad. I did tell the guy I had been terminated from the rock pile. I coulden't gauge his impression of me. All I can do is wait and see. He is supposed to whittle it down to a coupla candidates by the end of the week.

Y'all take care out there and keep yer fingers crossed for ol' Cornbread!

Will be gone for a few days.

Hey Y'all!
I'll be gone for a few days. So if ya don't hear from me for while I'm O.K. Can't really get into the details, but I will say it should be a fun time. In other words, PARTY!!!

Last night I went out with the boss and Mama and some of our other patchholders. We had a good time. Didn't do much just hung around at a bar. It was certainly better than sitting at the house napping in the computer chair. I always enjoy the time I spend with them.

I hope everyone has a safe weekend and get out there and enjoy yourself a little!

Take Care!

A Really Nice Night

Hey Y'all!
Yep it was wednesday night tonight amd I did my usuall thing and headed for my club brothers bar. His wife made dinner and it was great! I had two platefulls. The Boss and Mama showed up, afew of our probates and prospects and some of us patch holders. We weren't flying (wearing our vests with our patch on the back) We all just got to hang around and enjoy each others company. No pressure, no worries or hassle, no buisness. Drank a beer, did a shot and got to dance with Mama. It was nice.

Alot of people don't understand that when ya got those rags( club patches or logo) on yore back it changes things. Even though people know who you are in the MC community anyway, when yer out in public with those rags on, it's more buisness like. There is alot of protocol to follow, and you are a represenitve of that patch on your back. People are watching. You hafta be in a different frame of mind. There are alot of politics involved sometimes. Believe me being a patchholder ina club is nothing like what hollywood portrays. We are not a bunch of ignorant hooligans looking for trouble. Very much so the oppisite. We are a well oiled machine that functions to the best of it's ability. Some of us are hairy and dress the way we do because of our lifestyle, But don't be fooled, were not just a bunch of dumb bikers. It takes smarts to survive in the MC world. When ya ain't smart, ya pay for it.

Often it isn't the biker club people that are the ones who get outta line or do something stupid. It's the citizens or civilians(non motorcycle club people) if you prefer. Some people have this sterotype in their minds of what Motorcycle Club members are about. We are everyday people that have set ourselfs apart to be commitied to each others as brothers and sisters. I may not hold a job right now, but for the most part we are hard working forthright people with families and homes and responsibilities just like everyone else.

Well, Listen. It's time for me to get my shower and go to bed so I can face tommorow and whatever the day brings. Y'all take care and I'll catch ya on the flip side!

Almost bit the big one

Hey Y'all!
Tonight I was comming home from the boss and Mama's house and was about a mile from my house, cruisin with my feet up on the hiway pegs. I came up on a intersection and saw a truck go thru it with a car comming up behind it. The car stopped at the intersection untill I got right up to it. Then the asshole in the car pulls out in front of me! I hit the back brakes and locked up the wheel. The ass end of my bike came around and I slid past the car sidways and only missed it by a little bit. Somehow I never laid it down. I know the asshole saw me comming cause he gunned it thru the intersection. Needless to say I have gone thru a range of emoitions from being scared to highly pissed, to being gratefull I am sitting here typing this. It shook me up pretty good.

Well that is how my ride home went, Hope yours was a better one!

Here goes to another week!

Hey Y'all
Hope you are doin' fine. Me? I'm O.K. I guess. I got about 11 hours of sleep lastnight and today. felt like shit for awhile but now I am doin' pretty good. I am gonna make it to bed before 3 this morning if I can help it though.

I truly don't have exciting news for today. It was hot outside, but I didn't do any riding. I was taking care of chores that have been left undone for awhile now. Mostly washing, drying and folding clothes. Between me and dad I think I did 6 or 7 loads. Made it to the tag office and got dad and my tags renewed and put our stickers on our tags. I didn't take the bike cause I was in a hurry and I wasn't gonna be gone long. As nice as the weather is right now, I have been jonesin' to ride some more. Perhaps tommorow.

The rest of this week will be busy for me going here and going there especially at night. Shure wish I could find a lady that could deal with my lifestyle and hours and ups and downs to pack behind me riding two-up. Who knows maby that day will come and then again maby not. Either way, It's all good!

Catch ya on the flip side!

I need sleep

Hey Y'all!
This has been a good weekend, but I am seriously sleep depraved. It's like I am in some kinda fog I am so tired. Went out to my club brothers bar friday night till the wee hours of the morning. Saturday I spent with Mama and the boss. Their oldest son detailed my truck for me. Staurday night we had the party for the people who are closing the bar I was working at from time to time. The time change screwed me up so I only got maby 3 hours of sleep that night. Today we went on a run which was pretty sucessfull. Only mishap was one of our guys bikes broke down and had to be trailered home. Went out with the Boss and Mama for dinner tonight and then to my other home, their house. They fell asleep on the couch and I left and made the long trip home. None of us has had much sleep since tuesday or wednesday.

I did take a short nap sitting ona couch when we went to one of the clubhouses today. Thats the only reason I am able to function now and write this. When I am seriously sleep depraved, it's funny what a 20 minute nap can do for me. I am fixing to go get me a shower and crash & burn.

Ya know even though I am wore out I got to spend alot of time with people I turly Love. It makes it all worth while.

Nighty Night!
