Old Fartz Today

  • I have an Old Fartz lunch today. That doesn’t mean I will actually attend, life sometimes gets in the way.
  • Cloudy this morning, but it’s supposed to clear up some. As long as it’s not raining when I leave here, I’m riding to SF.
  • Nina mentioned last night that ML had another TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack) or a mini stroke yesterday evening. She’s becoming more difficult and she will be in a home soon.
  • Nina starts work on that today. Whether it’s temporary or permanent will be up to Nina, but she’s taking a 10 break from ML as a start.
  • The Red River Motorcycle Rally starts tomorrow. We’re planning on going on Saturday. They predict that there’ll be 20,000 + bikes there for the weekend. If the chapter organizes a ride there, we may go on Sunday too.
  • Amarillo Texas for the last weekend of the month. The Big Texan is the destination and there’s a party that we may attend too. The party is thrown by a Texas HOG Chapter and it just coincides with our ride, so we were invited.
  • We’re also planning on stopping at Tripp’s Harley-Davidson on the way to the hotel. We’re staying at the Big Texan’s hotel.

Tuesday

  • Went to SF today. Hardware run.
  • Dinner with Nina at Harry’s Roadhouse.
  • Talked to Dennis, Joe and Catherine via phone.
  • ML may be headed to a nursing home soon. It may be respite care for a break for Nina or it may be permanent.
  • Either way, it will be nice not to look at her while watching TV. She’s sitting right in my line of sight.
  • New meds have kicked the shit outta her, but it was almost mandatory. Threats to the family, trying to get out of bed on her own when she’s supposed to be napping, and just plain inappropriate behavior.
  • Rained last night. HARD. For hours. My lot actually faired pretty well, but an early morning drive through the valley showed quite a bit of mud covered roadways.

LOST CHURCHES OF NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY!!!

When devastating hurricanes struck the east coast, even houses of worship were not spared. A local television station interviewed a woman from New York ‘s Harlem area and asked how the loss of churches in the area had affected their lives.

Without hesitation, the woman replied,“I don’t know ’bout all them other peoples, but we ain’t been to Churches in years. We gets our chicken from Popeye’s.” The look on the interviewer’s face was priceless.

graded the lot again

After all the rain we’ve been getting, my lot has taken a beating. I graded the lot on Wednesday or Thursday last week and I had to do it again this morning. Doing it in the dark is a bit weird, but I didn’t have to dodge any cars, which was very nice. I started at 4:15 and finished at 5:10. Less than an hour and that included an implement change.

We’re going to Harley-Davidson today. Big party there. Patricia Arquette and some other famous friends of Dennis Hopper will be there. I’m really not interested in meeting them, but I figured to get pics for the newsletter before they take off to Taos. We are not joining the Taos ride. This is all about the movie Easy Rider. Dennis Hopper was in the movie and is now dead. I have never seen Easy Rider. Weird, huh? If the day is nice, there could be hundreds of riders heading to Taos on this ride.

Ladies Night @ SFH-D

I know I post quite a bit about my bike and the dealership, but last night I was the photographer for the Ladies Night Event and I got to take some pictures of my HD family.

Caroline Kline is an amazing woman. She's been riding Harleys longer than most people have been alive. She owns several antique bikes and shows them all over the country.

The guy in the white shirt is John and to his left is Patrick. You can see Nina in the crowd waiting her turn to learn how to pick up a fallen bike.

Anyway, there’s more to SFH-D than what I can show here, I just don’t have pictures of everyone that works there. It’s a good group of people and I enjoy visiting with them when in SF.
