"Early is on time. On time is late."
Quote, Sonny Barger

Not sure this year. Finishing up new casa, final inspections and all that goes with that nonsense. Bad timing on my part.

That's why all the clocks in the Mass Comm building at school were five minutes fast.
I live by my own clocks now.
Even when I got up at 04:00 I still had two hours to eat and get to work on time.

I wonder, has his family kept Hemry's emporium going?

Bryan, his son still sells stuff on eBay. Really don't know about the shop. I haven't traveled through that area in years.

Be safe and healthy my friend.

Hi Guys -

Sorry to say I'm gonna have to bow out this time. Life is in the way and I'm old enough and wise enough (I'd like to think) to know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em.

I believe I reserved a cabin at Windy's by way of a post here a month or two back, so if that still stands, it should open up accommodations for someone.

Y'all have fun, be safe and I look forward lots of photos!

Cheers,

Steve

[quote=DPO]Are you doing peanuts this year Gordon?[/quote

No sir but I have found a source for my favorite type of peanut to boil. They actually started offering them green last month. I’ll not see those local till after the summer. But this place ships.

I’m coming up early to meet with Richrd on a Brit bike deal we’ll need the DMV for but won’t be able to make the weekend. I’m scheduled to haul a XS650 lot to Florida and I don’t have a lot of choices on dates for that.

I’m hopefully getting my sidecar rig back on the road so........I’ll see what I can do about a peanut boil at TWO later on in the year.

That's a very kind offer Ob.........but you've got enough on your plate and I don't even know what's it's going to take to mount it......might not even be worth the effort......so I'm a long way from picking paint. Once you've beat that crap your fighting we'll talk about it.

Take care.......and thanks again for the offer.

frankly, you would be giving me a goal to achieve, especially if you arent in a great rush

so get that mounting sorted please

I need to use that brand spanking new compressor at least once!
