Once Nina is up and ready, we will hit the road on the bike and have breakfast at Joe’s Diner in Santa Fe. We will then head south on NM 14, thru Madrid and Cedar Crest until we hit US Route 60. We’ll probably head east on 60 until we hit NM 104 and we’ll head north to Vegas.
YESTERDAY
Since I am working to be a road captain for the chapter to help on rides, I went on the ride yesterday with 2 of the road captains and a vet that has PTSD is a serious way. He made an interesting ride surreal. All 3 of my companions were vets and the sane 2 were both involved in the aviation industry after serving. One in civilian aviation and the other in communications that crossed over from the military and aerospace.
After lunch we parted ways and I headed south while they went north. It was a great day for a ride.
OK, why the hell are people asking me about sports crap? I have nothing to do with sports, with the possible exception of entering a Super Bowl pool, and while I can pretend to be interested in football or baseball, if the sport of basketball went the way of the dinosaurs I’d be a happy camper.
Hey, it rained last night and the weatherliars are predicting more today and tomorrow. Even a blind man with a gun can hit something if he pulls the trigger often enough.
Since Friday I’ve taken the bike out everyday but one. Almost a hundred miles a day, but if I wish to reach my goal of 10,000 miles by the 24th of this month, I’m going to have to up my game a bit. I bought the bike on the 24th last year.
The 24th is also Nina’s birthday. Make sure you ship all her presents by tomorrow latest to ensure that they get here in time.
Clifford, a known thief, wanted to come back in to the store. He apologized to me for stealing from me and told me he’s changed. I asked him if the stories about he still steals from the Gonzales family are true and he said that’s different, they sell drugs. “I only steal from drug dealers now.” What a douchebag.
Nice ride on Tuesday. Stopped by the dealership to see if there was anyone around to ride with, but there was no one there. Printed out a few copies of the newsletter since I noticed that there were none at the dealership.
After leaving the dealership, I headed east looking for food. After processing several options through my tiny brain, I decided that Harry’s Roadhouse was the best option. I had a fried chicken sandwich with swiss and mushrooms. Tiny brain scored today, it was great. After going there for a few years, they’re starting to recognize us as regulars and the service is better that way. Don’t get me wrong, their service is alway good, but regulars seem happier.
Drove home on I-25 since there’s not any other option really from Santa Fe. 106 miles for the morning.
Just got an email telling me that the enviro department has approved the design of the store’s new septic system. Rudy can start work immediately now and a week from him starting, we should be good!
May go riding today. It’s 50° outside right now.
A year ago today, James Boyd was killed by the Albuquerque PD and now the family is all up in arms about the murder. Murder is without quotes because it was murder and I’m not disputing that fact. What has me commenting on this is that the family ignored this man prior to the shooting but since there’s money going to happen, they’re all screaming about him now. Where were these people before this? Why didn’t they take care of this man earlier? They don’t care, they are just jumping on the lawsuit bandwagon! ASSHOLES!
I’m also tired of this Ferguson Missouri b.s. I just read that 75% of the residents of Ferguson have active warrants! 75% have active warrants! WTF? Why isn’t the police departments that are now protecting protestors making arrests on these warrants? This town is a haven for criminals and we’re supposed to care that one of the criminals got shot? I guess the press doesn’t care about reporting facts like that since it doesn’t generate the outrage that they wish. Burn the damned town down, that’ll be great press!
Erin is now making clothes for her dolls. She’s pretty good.
I should have been out riding today, but I was tired.
I thought my Harley-Davidson credit card was hacked today, I was wrong. USBank just had an email glitch that resent the confirmation about Apple Pay.
Just was told that there’s electrical outages nearby. I hope we are spared. It gets expensive when we’re without power for long periods.
I think ML had another mini stroke again yesterday. I was getting ready for my bath this morning when I heard her talking to herself. I listened in and heard her complaining to God about her pain. I went in and asked her if she needed some pain meds, she said yes and I gave her a double dose.
Just another day in paradise.
I am a husband, father, grandfather, friend, business owner, traveller, Harley rider, citizen, patriot, gun owner, politically eclectic person of strange personal habits. I support police, trust no politicians, and can argue any side of an argument just to amuse myself. People love me or hate me and those that are in-between don't know me.
