Good morning Brothers, Prospects and Supports. The wet weather is a thing of the past here and I have been riding every day. It is great to feel the wind in my face. It’s the best therapy ever. I hope everyone is doing well. Boss, you and your family are always in my thoughts and prayers. LLRBF BD

THANKS
GREETINGS ALL!!
Been off line for a while, finally got back on today after a week unplanned hiatus. Gotta love suddenstink.
So first off Shout out and continued prayers to Prez Skinner and his Family. You're always on our minds here.
All's well here in my AOR. Temps good, weather good, getting a lot of yard, garden and other work done. Sadly not much riding.
Shout out to Brother Zoot. He passed a new leather cut on to me, going to get our Colours on it tomorrow. No more faded out one. Plus I really like the style. THANK YOU BROTHER
Oh hey just thought of this, if anyone has an extra 2017 National Run patch I'd appreciate it. Gonna model Brother Dutch and wear that one. Y'all know why.
I guess that's about all for now.
ML&R, LLRBY to all
Ride 'em like you stole 'em

always good to hear from you and Singer.Recovery is going okay postponed Doctor visit from this Wednesday to August 19th.I will see surgeon and oncologist and due a blood draw to find out what my cancer numbers are.Hopefully I will be moving forward and go to 3 month visits.
Talked with Laam no change there for him postponing his surgery till they will let his wife come in to the hospital.
Hoping to ride out and finalize our two prospects have not done much riding so we will see.
Also looks like we may have a couple of new prospects in the making one here in the Midwest and one in Northwest.
Kanddis's second knee surgery went very well.No pain and will only be back on her feet in two weeks(one week to go).
Laam may have 2017 patch check with him.
okay that's all

I have to agree with every one on the heat , 110 today took all of the fun out of my ride . But I am a slow learner I will be out there tomorrow. Hope everyone is well and safe.

great to see Brothers getting riding time.Sounds like lots of hot weather all over.Grumpy,Zoot and I did a little over 200 miles with the Korean War ride,plus they did more riding here,sure was hot but very rewarding to get to lead the ride.
Greetings, Boss Skinner, Patched Members, fellow Prospects & Support. It's just as if, the gates of Hell opened and swallowed my AO. Too hot to ride, without burning alive. Not too bad after the sun goes down but still hard on this old body. Still I try to catch some wind as often as I can. Being one of the newest prospects it saddens me that this year 2020 Put the kibosh on Nationals. Looking on the high side, we still have the year 2021 to make up for the loss. I have a feeling, deep in my heart, that this coming year, National's are going to be fantastic. I can't wait to meet, my great new family. My sincerest love,to you all. Thumper over and out. NVFFNV.
Greetings all patched, prospects, support etc, All is good my AO, Steamer still busy his AO with project, but doing good. Sending positive waves to all on mend. Went on short 40 mile run today, Dumb idea, Was 112 degrees out, came home soaked, But did stop and hydrate on way home. Needless to say bike can sit for next few days , forecast calling for 110 to 114 through Sunday. All for now. Stay safe . GearBox LLRBF NVFFNV
Well another 4th gone by, hope all my brothers and sisters are safe and healthy. Its going to be a cool 111* today so I'm staying in the pool with a ice cold beer. Cant wait till next year I'm ready for nationals. Hang in there.

Greetings to all patched members, fellow prospects & support. Had a Great time with Grumpy and Doc Gonzo in Fort Wayne Indiana. Looking forward to meeting the rest of the team. The connection with these men was extremely rewarding for me. It felt to me, like instant friendship. The excitement of belonging to this group is almost overwhelming, it's been a long lonely road. Just had to vent and share my thoughts with someone. Until we meet face-to-face LLRBF-NVFFNV.

GREAT TO HEAR FROM YOU WITH ALL YOUR ENTHUSIASM. WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET. ALL OF US NAM VETS ARE ON THE SAME PAGE LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING YOU AND OTHERS WHEN I GET THE RELEASE FROM CANCER DOCTOR.
Greetings to all Brothers, Supports, Prospects & Well-wisher!!
Just got back from some much needed wind therapy. Quick run up to IL to welcome in a new Prospect, Thumper. Didn't get to spend a whole lot of time with him and Brother Grumpy, but from I see, he's a keeper! Very enthusiastic about being a Member.
Weather was perfect for the ride both ways. Betty ran like a top, really diggin' that Baker 6-speed tranny. Think the idiots must have taken a couple of days off. Didn't seem to be any one the roads LOL, if there were, there weren't where ever I was, so it's all good. It's amazing what a few hundred miles of wind will do for your soul.
Other than that, all's good in my AO. Singer is still on temp assignment, but really looking forward to retiring next month.
Going to have to be a little re-budgeting, but it'll all work out. Always does.
Just lettin' everyone know I'm alive and kickin'

THANKS FOR THE UPDATE
Hello, Boss Skinner, patched members, fellow prospects & support..
it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, the sun is shining, it's 72 at 12:45 pm and I'm ready for a ride anywhere in the burgh..
Talked to Grumpy and Doc Gonzo yesterday, they were going to ride up to Ill. to patch in prospect Thumper, I wish I could have made the ride, but due to not having a sitter for Wilson, and having to attend a very important meeting at my American Legion post 538 Fort Black, I'd be there in a heart beat. sad to say the meeting is to determine whether or not we should keep out post running, we consist of guys my age and a couple of young guys who are all the members of our VFW, we have little to no income and the bills keep growing, it was a great hangout for me, because a few of my classmates are members and I get to see them often, the main reason people come is for sports and cheap drinks and only on the weekends, our post reached the grand ole age of 100 in 2019..
Hey boss I relayed to Doc that D9 ( Daneen ) and I will be at the national next year..
not much going on my AO, looking forward to our 4th of July weekend for two reason, 1. we get to spend quality time with good friends and 2. I will wear my cut to let other NamVet bikes about our brotherhood..
well until my next entry, peace, love and good will to you all

BROTHERS,SUPPORT AND PROSPECTS;
My rant for the time being is I hate not being able to make those PATCH IN CEREMONIES.My riding days are still in the future because I have no idea how the radiation is going to effect me and nobody else can say for sure either.I have made some short runs<one with LAAM ,was longest so far.Legs and feet can't seem to get the rhythm right just yet.Strength there is not yet back and that can be a real problem when you put legs out to hold you up.
On a up note thanks out to all for stepping up and taking care of BUSINESS.
Happy FATHERS day stay safe we have a large bar-be -que planned at daughters house.

Greetings to all Patch Holders, Prospects and Friends of the club. Had a talk with Grumpy this morning on the landline. Going to meet up for sit down next week. Looking forward to it. Everything in my AO looking good, nothing to report at this time. The weather is warm and the wind is blowing soft and Thunder is ready to roll. This is Thumper, over and out. NVFFNV.
