Yesterday, we had a fatal accident just a few miles from us. A car with 2 women in it was blown so hard that it pushed the driver off the road and they rolled several times once they left the pavement. The driver didn’t survive, but the passenger received only minor injuries.

No matter how many times I see a body at an accident scene, it brings home the fact that it takes just a moment of inattention to end things. I talked to the officers that were on the scene when some of them stopped at the store once it the scene was called and one of them new the dead lady. She was local. Too bad,

Harley-Davidson

I start work with Murrae on Tuesday at the range. We’re going to repaint all the lines on the range. While I’m there, my bike will be in the shop getting a new front tire. While I can’t be paid for the work I’m doing yet, they do compensate “interns” with gift cards. That plus my points from my H-D credit card and store points should ease the pain of the new tire somewhat.

On the 31st, I will be on the range learning the range routine. Once the MSF gets their head outta their ass, I will be sent away for that training. No one has a clue when that will happen. I guess once I hear a big popping sound coming from the direction of Albuquerque I’ll know that it will happen soon.

Family

Erin, Nina, and I are all sick. Cold/flu/allergies or the plague, it doesn’t matter, we’re all miserable. We all hope to survive.

Easter?

Easter Sunday is this weekend. It kinda snuck up on me. It should be interesting with our new hours. In theory we should close down, but we usually do good being the only store in the valley. Happy Easter?

I’m riding in a group that will act as an honor guard for a chapter member that passed. Larry McGee was a charter member of the SDC-HOG chapter I belong to .

You’d have to prepare for this if you planned on remembering it for an emergency.

There are good ships and wood ships, the ships that sail the seas.  But the best ships are friendships and may they always be.

• Store ride to the Hollar Restaurant in Madrid, NM this afternoon. I’ll be a road captain and will lead or sweep for the ride.
• Maggie is adapting to us very well. It helps that she’s a very calm dog. Tori’s dog and Maggie did not get along on their first meeting.
• Nina took her to the vet yesterday and it was a free visit that was part of the adoption. She got a clean bill of health.
• obama picked a supreme yesterday. Get ready for the stupidity from our congress and the white house. What a group of assholes, from the top down.
• I’m getting tired of the wind. It’s no fun driving or riding or walking even.
• The new iPhone will supposedly have a 256 Gb memory chip. I’m not even close to filling my 128 Gb chip on my current phone, but I want the new phone anyway.
• I hope I can resist the hype and stay with my current phone for another year or two. Anyone want to buy a 6+ with 64 Gb of memory? Nina got a smaller phone and I can’t see keeping her old one. Like new condition.
• Anyone want to buy our place? Call me if you do.
