Nina and I went to the meet & greet at the HD dealership yesterday morning. We were supposed to meet the new owners, but they were swamped. I took the video below while wandering about. The vid is only 62 seconds, so watch it.

It was a nice hour and a half. Dennis was there too.

• Raining.
• Blowing.
• 39° currently.
• I think it’ll snow later.
• Just a nasty night.
• Not fit for man or beast.

While I’m fairly new to motorcycles . . . again, the TT has always been a source of curiosity to me. Martin Stott recently posted a video on Facebook from Vimeo that showed me how truly insane these motorcycle racers are. Unfortunately, I can’t post Vimeo vids here, so I went to YouTube and found this one, a longer and different video of the Isle of Man TT. I think I may call Martin and have him use his resources in the UK to find us housing and a place to watch this race next year. The race is held in late May to early June and the date is dependent on the weather.  Enjoy the video, if you are interested.

Thanks Mom.

I know this will come as a shock to many of you, but Tori and Andy aren’t my only children. I have another son, older than Andy. His name is Leroy, as you probably guessed by the post title. Leroy stopped by for a short visit yesterday and I was very happy to see him, it’s been a while.

Leroy is a cop. A State Police officer with the state of NM. Early on in his career, I thought he was going to be one of “those” cops. One that just got by and somewhat of a screw up, but yesterday he proved me wrong. Leroy is now a sergeant with the NMSP. Such a good boy, he makes me proud.

As you may have guessed by now Leroy is not really my kid, but Nina and I kinda adopted him when he was transferred to this district. He lived on our property and while everyone thought that he was watching over the place in exchange for rent, we were watching over him. See above.

Eventually he moved out and bought a house in Rio Rancho, married, had more kids, and other shit. He lives in Copville. Rio Rancho has an inordinate number of cops living there. I’ve kept in touch with him and have used his name in vain to talk my way out of many speeding tickets over the years. Yes, I drive too fast.

One time, during a laser radar sting on I-25, I got caught speeding in that speed trap and the arresting officer just happened to be Leroy. I believe he had to do a song and dance to explain why he didn’t give me a ticket or even a warning ticket considering the speed I was clocked at.

Anyway, our adopted son is doing well and we feel some pride in his accomplishments.

The definition of conundrum is something that is puzzling or confusing. Here are seven conundrums of creeping socialism in the United States of America:

1. America is capitalist and greedy – yet half of the population is subsidized.

2. Half of the population is subsidized – yet they think they are victims.

3. They think they are victims – yet their representatives run the government.

4. Their representatives run the government – yet the poor keep getting poorer.

5. The poor keep getting poorer – yet they have things that people in other countries only dream about.

6. They have things that people in other countries only dream about – yet they want America to be more like those other countries.

7. They want America to be more like those other countries – because they think America is capitalist and greedy.

That pretty much sums up the USA and the 47% who pay no taxes.

• Virtually every time I leave, my good mood and feelings are just shit on by this business or other sources.
• This trip was killed by stupid employees and such.
• I leave because I need to on occasion, but it’s like the shit just builds up and dumps on me all at once.
• I’m thinking of firing 2 people, the senator’s grandson and my yard ape.
• The grandson is just plain stupid. A level of stupid I haven’t seen in many years.
• The yard ape is a tweaker and he’s been coming to work high. Plus he has a finance company dogging his ass and when they get tired of this, they’ll file for a court order for me to garnish his wages. I will fire him then. I don’t do that shit, it causes paperwork that I don’t want to do and I doubt Tori will do the paperwork.
• I’m thinking of canceling all trips planned for the future.
• Oh yeah, the freaking wind is back! The head weatherliar claims it will be here until well past the weekend.
• ML is being a bitch still. I hope Shirley calls her to join her soon, but even a dead Shirley wouldn’t want to deal with this witch.

OTHER COMPLAINTS AND BITCHES

• It’s just begun, but I’m already sick of the political campaigns that are now happening here. Backstabbing asswipes and chances are that they’re as guilty of all they accuse their opponent of.
• I’m sick and tired of Ukraine and Crimea news. We should just butt out and mind our own damned business. Or nuke them.
• More killer cop complaints in Albuquerque. Hey stupid crooks, quit pointing guns at cops and you won’t get shot, mostly. And the whining family and friends saying how wonderful that person was. Blow me, yesterday’s dumb ass puled a gun on a cop. That person deserved to die. That person was a criminal. Suck it up and quit whining.
• I’d done for now.

. . . but I think it’s funny.
