@Boattlebot... I used to ride a Kowalski :D 1100 that would ABSOLUTELY blow any Harley Davidson off of the road in the mid-eighties, and my last bike was an OHC HD Road King (2006). Two different bike styles, and two different states of mind...

There was a biker bar I played acoustic music at in Va. Beach in the late '70s - early '80s called "Bullfeather's" on 15th Street... during breaks from college, to make extra money.

The bike I rode then was a Honda 350 4 cylinder. When I parked my bike out front to meet with one of the owners about scheduling some gigs... he said, "Ya know I like you, son - you're a cool cat with all our customers, but, I'll warn ya - you park that rice burner out front, you're gonna find it knocked over, or worse. Bring your car - you can park in our lot offa 14th." That was then...

Boat, the one thing a guy never does is insult a grizzled-looking Harley rider's 'old lady.' Especially if you're on a Japanese bike. If that rider insulted my Japanese bike, I would've said, "Yeah. I know. Maybe one day, when I can afford it, I'll get a Sporty 883."

The dude would've either kept running his mouth, or - he may have even bought you a 'round.' Alcohol affects people differently, so I'm glad you survived the '@$$-whoopin'.'

I've been a tribute in two biker clubs, and I know of two important rules that kept me out of harm's way:

Rule #1 - Don't take **** from anyone. Stand your ground with your fists, not a 9 mm.

Rule #2 - Don't talk a lot. Do a lot of listening, and speak when you're spoken to. This earns respect.

Off to another subject...

Our new home is OURS (or, the mortgage company's, even though we made a substantial five-figure down payment from the sale of our NC home and property)!!

:stars::stars2::hearts::stars2::confetti::stars::hearts::bunny::stars2:

The keys are in our hands. We pick up our rental truck today; it's ours until Tuesday, 9 AM. In about 45 minutes, we're checking out of the motel. We've been here for over three weeks; the dogs have been stressed, and so have we. Liz watched a car with Texas license plates hit a parked car, while the driver was texting. They took off, but Liz got the license plate numbers, and called the front desk. More than likely, nothing was done about it - as it is Memorial Day weekend, and there are plethora 'carnies' checked in.

They've got pieces and parts of their amusement park rides out in the front street, where OTR truckers usually park. I've gotten three hours of sleep. Tonight, we spend the night at my mother-in-law's, in cramped quarters. This morning, we're all going to breakfast.

What a journey. We're the last batter in the ninth inning right now. Sunday will be our first night in our new home. I will post all of the trip pictures, and pictures of our new place. PINCH US!

LW & Liz :hug:
Good morning LW&Liz. We are so happy for you:wave:

Good morning Rat:coffee: Hope you are feeling better. Happy Memorial Day weekend to you too.:wave:
It's going to be epic!
It started yesterday, when the wife found out about my speeding ticket, and then being informed my MIL has arrived at her new, permanent FL residence. She sold her car to my SIL before coming, so guess who gets to partake in the Memorial Day sales-a-thon fiasco?:mad::confused::(

Liz just went to the front desk to get our morning "Continental" breakfast, which consists of coffee.

The muffins look and taste like the ones donated to homeless shelters; we DO NOT eat them. The carnies seem to love 'em, as they stand outside, hacking; coughing; smoking; spitting.

Liz just got back with the coffee. I'll post for us to everyone here later.

LW & Liz :hug:

The work outside is done for the day. Thunderstorms rolling in and should last until about 7pm. At least we got the flowerbed and new brick landscaping and mulch done. We have an Ivy infestation out n the flowerbed, so we tilled it, pulled all the Ivy we could and then put down 2 layers of 8mm landscaping PVC sheeting and topped it with a ton of black mulch. Looks good and if we want plants, we will put planter boxes out there. Anything looks better than the ivy growth.
