• While reviewing the site and some listed draft posts, I ran across something that Archie (Nina’s cousin) sent me. I pre-posted it last year when she sent it, so it will pop up soon.
• There was a HOG board meeting today. We had a great member turnout for the meeting and one of the members stood up and volunteered to take on the Ladies of Harley position.
• Lunch was on the grill after the meeting and I scarfed down a couple dogs and some chips and queso. Spent over an hour there shooting the shit with other members.
• Dennis was there and after the meeting he and Fred headed to Albuquerque to attend the gun show. I hope he gets back before it starts raining. I saw lightning out west of here.
• Tomorrow is a road captain’s pre-ride to Chama. I’m looking forward to that since it’s been many years since I’ve been to Chama. Oh yeah, I’m now a road captain for our group.
• For my non-riding readers, a road captain leads group rides. There’s also a road captain at the rear to act as a sweep. The sweep will pull over and help any rider that has problems during a ride.
• I should have pictures for you tomorrow.
• Peace out People!

• I have Jeannie telling customers that I thought May had 31 days because I forgot to have Tori pick up money for the ATM.
• They’ll bitch, but I’m beyond caring at this point.
• I ended up rewiring a couple light fixtures yesterday. I will have to finish one of them up later after I pickup some wire nuts. Right now it’s been taped and I’m not comfortable with that.
• I used to have plenty of nuts here, but someone stole the toolbox that is carried all the things I use for electrical repairs.
• I keep forgetting to get a new one with the supplies I will need and I was even at Lowe’s yesterday and still forgot.
• Anyone else tired of the Baltimore shit?
• Going to be riding this weekend I think. The weather looks pretty good right now.
• Looking back at the calendar for April, I missed more days posting last month than ever before. Did you miss me?
• Crap, these idiots are still talking about Baltimore!
• That Katmandu thing is pretty sad. I feel for the residents in this time of great loss.
• Just heard that Chicago is the front runner for the Obama library. I’m glad I no longer pay taxes in Illinois and Cook County. ½ a billion freaking dollars to pay homage to that fool.

• And I almost feel human! Just 15 minutes short of 8 hours. I like that shit.
• Old Fartz lunch today.  We went to Los Alamos and had lunch at the Blue Window Bistro. Very good food. Nice menu.
• 13 people joined the group and we ranged from 60 to mid 80’s in age. Old Fartz is a fit name for the group.
• The trip to Los Alamos is pretty nice and has quite a jump in elevation. I found the Sirius radio is spotty when driving along the face of a cliff, but it was manageable.
• My neighbor rode out with me, but I lost him on the way back. He’s sort of a slow ride on the turns, but in Santa Fe was where I lost him. He was too far back and didn’t make it through a red light.
• Strange thing. I have over 1400 miles on my bike this month and only 400+ miles on my Jeep. Never figured that would be the case.
• My June 1st court appearance was changed to July 17th, smack dab in the middle of my scheduled vacation. I think  visit to the D.A. office is in order. I gave them the dates prior to them even being assigned and was told that they would work around them. Morons!
• Added after the fact: I forgot to mention that I walked again this morning. Yesterday was easier, but for some reason I found it harder to do after a full night sleep.

I went to walk at Pecos today. While parking I saw a car from Michigan and thought it would be funny if they were from Holland Michigan. Well, it turned out that we were leaving at the same time and as I pulled past them I asked them if they were from Holland. With a heavy Dutch accent they asked how I knew. It turns out the Michigan car was a rental and they were from the Netherlands. We chatted for a while before I left. They were doing Route 66 and were headed for Las Vegas, NV for a reunion over the weekend.

I had a nice walk there this morning. Took it slow and made 2 trips around the place without stopping or gasping for air. Once I get used to doing it again I’ll pick up the pace. Last year, when I finally quit because of the wind, I was doing the 1.2 miles in 15 minutes and I would usually do the second lap in 18 minutes. I’m going to try to get to that again.

IN OTHER NEWS

While typing up the above, I got a call from the district attorney’s office about Romero. There’s a plea deal in the works where he pleads guilty to the armed robbery with a maximum sentence of 9 years, with the actual time being up the the judge. I told the lady that I don’t care what time he gets as long as he gets drug treatment with his time. They will be checking with the John and the lady that Romero pointed the gun at too, but I have no control over what they wish.

Once this is settled, I’m supposed to get my gun back.

Nina and I hit the Harley dealer after breakfast and asked them if there was a ride today, all the while it was a near white out in Santa Fe. Who knows, we didn’t stick around to find out, but they may have held it anyway. Harley peoples are tough.

Good thing too, I’d have to kill her aunt.

She’s been in bed most of the day and appears to be normal now, but she’s doing the same thing she was doing in bed, watching TV. Further observation may be needed. I’ll keep you informed.

Took the bike out this morning, but it was too windy to do more than run to Harley and back. Big veteran’s thing going on there and I wanted to make an appearance. Saw some friends, shook some hands, hugged some girls, shot some shit, and went home. Did all this before Nina got out of bed.

The weatherliar is predicting rain and high mountain snow for tomorrow. I guess that means a great day to take Nina for a bike ride if she doesn’t have a relapse.

After quite a bit of thought, I have replaced the gun that the cops took to hold as evidence. I was not comfortable keeping a handheld shotgun as a replacement to the 1911. Once I get my gun back from the cops, I will retire that pistol to the safe and save it for Andy. I’ve had that gun for 42 years and I don’t want to risk losing it.

I bought the MetroArms 1911, a bare bones pistol that is not as expensive as a Colt. To replace my gun, as it was setup by me, would cost about $1200. The new gun was half that cost and already had some of the special things I did to my gun on it. That stuff is now considered standard, but it made my gun a pretty sweet shooter.

Tori and I went shooting today and I am happy with my new gun. The salesperson at the Outdoorsman tried to up sell me to a Kimber, but I’ve had one before and I found it to be finicky with the ammo I shoot. The Kimber is also a bit pricey.

Sirius is now working and I got a bunch of errands done in SF today.

Yesterday I went to SF Harley-Davidson to have my 10,000 service @ 11,000+ miles and have Sirius radio installed. On the way home I found out that the radio didn’t work. I went back today to have it fixed and they couldn’t fix it, their tech was off today. I borrowed a 2006 CVO to attend the Old Fartz lunch. and while it was a Screaming Eagle, the seat was paper thin and my ass told me about it at every bump. It was fast though.

Tomorrow I will return to have them attempt it again. Catherine, John from the Old Fartz would like to meet you. I know, a dream come true! Sorry about that, back on topic. The tech will be back on duty and he can do the help desk thing and I will be doing the satellite radio thing on my bike too.

ERIN

Erin is in SF as I write this and she’s supposed to be filmed for a part in the TV series Manhattan. Tori was too busy to take Erin to do this so Nina is there with her and it’s getting quite late. I’ve had to watch the witch and it talked to me. I told Tori she going to need to quit her job and manage Erin’s acting career. She said no. I think that means Erin’s not going back tomorrow.
