I have to make a correction to my 8-29-21 post I put Rebel instead of Rascal, my apologies to anyone offended, lol. I guess I was showing my age or revealing my senility. Try not to laugh or cuss to loud. Weather has been good here in the burg. Had some new parts put on the bike to dress it up the way I like it to look, that project is ongoing. Looking to change the wheels, rotors etc. to chrome in the very near future. Well that’s about all for now gonna take a ride clear my head. Take care God Bless

Well bad news crossed my doorstep about three weeks ago, my best companion dog Wilson
of 8 years took some kind of a seizure, and shortly after he stopped eating, which alerted me that something more serious was happening, sure enough after taking him to the vet I was informed that he had lung cancer and had only 3 weeks to 3 months to live, I was praying for 3 more years and he and I were were dealt only about 1 week. We, my daughter, D9 and myself let him cross over the rainbow bridge to meet his maker... I am devastated to say the least, angry, hating, heart broken and questioning my faith in God, you ask why, because I wasn't given the chance to help my my little buddy, just venting..
I love you all my brothers, the brothers I never had, boss your are my top brother...

condolences and love out to you BROTHER
Greetings Boss, Regional Presidents, Patched Brothers, Prospects, and Support. RTO, D9 and myself went on a Vietnam Veteran’s bike run. The run was called the thank you never received. Kickstands went up at 11 am the run included two stops at local American Legions. There were, from the info I got, 238 bikes, nice. RTO talked to a couple Vietnam Veterans informing them of our club, they seemed interested, hope they follow through. After the run they had a pig roast, food was great. The run was nice, the people I was with were awesome, RTO & D9. Well guess that’s all for now. Take care, God Bless

Very hot in my AO but not so hot you can’t ride! Started coughing last Thursday so got checked for carina virus, test came back negative for that but I DO have a virus. I’m thinkin’ maybe Budweiser or Heineken, not sure yet. It has knocked me on my butt yesterday and today, hoping for improvement tomorrow. Good to hear we are gaining members, looking forward to meeting them.
That’s it for now, hope everyone is in good spirits and good health,

Another Sturgis in the history books. Not getting on the road as soon as I'd liked, but then had a beer interruption. Camp sites almost packed. Not much left to do.
All is well
Should be home in about a week or so.

Thanks for the support
Great morning Boss Skinner, regional Presidents, Brothers & Support.
It's been a while since I last posted a message and this is mostly do to me being busy running my late buddy's bar, I had an idea of how much time is involved but never knew what's all being done behind the scenes, and it all makes sense now.
D-9 and I are going for a ride today with an old friend out to Richieville, Pa for some lunch and some relaxing riding through a very beautiful countryside.
Weather over here has been kinda of crazy, hot, hot, hot, then 5 minutes of rain and back to hot, the grass isn't growing that much now and I'm okay with that.
I gotta say two of the most honorable and memorial days riding for me ever was the two days at the nationals when our brotherhood, our M.C. took that ride across the Missouri boarder into Arkansas and then that ride to the Missouri Viet Nam Memorial wall, it was such an honor. D-9 and I and hopefully Rascal are go to a bike run in one of our other counties here for Viet Nam Veterans and to try to recruit some new members into out brotherhood, cross your fingers.
Well time to sign off for now, hope this message finds all our brothers, sisters & support member all in great health. ride safe, ride often, and most of all live life to it's fullest, luv you all..

such a shame we don't do it more
Good evening Brothers, Prospects, Supports & Well-Wishers and greetings from beautiful Sturgis, South Dakota
We arrived safe and sound with only one minor incident, and that didn't result in anything being broken or even damaged.
Again, we got really good campsites at the Buffalo Chip. You would not believe how many people are here this year. Everyone that came last year, plus everyone who was afraid to come last, plus the usual first timers. They added a new several acre section and sold out 800 tent sights in one day. We got here same day last year and the Chip never did fill up to capacity.
We're having a great time, we made it into the annual opening day photograph, so that should be fun to see.
Weather is good, here. Good and HOT. But I'd rather have that than freezing out butts off.
Guess that's about all for now.

Greetings, Boss Skinner, Regional Presidents, Patched Members, Prospects, and Supports.
All is not well in my AO. My heart health has deteriorated so bad that there is no coming back from it. I am short of breath and I tired all the time. I can no longer even cut my own grass. I can no longer ride my trike so I have sold it. I'm not even sure how long they're going to let me keep my driver's license.
That being said I will now remove myself from the club roster. I will soon be sending a package to boss Skinner. In it will be all the club patches and a gift to be distributed amongst the brothers. I want y'all to know that the national meet was the thrill of my lifetime, the memories of which I will take to my grave. May God bless and keep you all.
So with a heavy heart and tears in my eyes I bid you all farewell. With love loyalty and respect and brotherhood forever. This is THUMPER Over and for the first time,
count me OUT.
PS. This will be my last communication with his venue.

Still having trouble with Fort Sill concerning Daughters basic training when she gets home I will start calling and explaining all the bull shit to whoever I can.Leaving troops with no medical attention with Covid 19 is a bunch of Bullshit.She is now in Broken Bravo with two stress fractures along with 200 others trainees.
