FRIDAY FUNNY - I CAN'T REMEMBER!

When I went to lunch today, I noticed an old lady sitting on a park bench sobbing her eyes out. I stopped and asked her what was wrong. She said, "I have a 22 year old husband at home. He makes love to me every morning and then gets up and makes me pancakes, sausage, fresh fruit and freshly ground coffee."

I said, "Why are you crying?"

She continued, "He makes me homemade soup for lunch and my favorite brownies too.  Then he makes love to me for half the afternoon."

Again I wondered, "Well then, why are you crying?"

She just kept on rambling, "For dinner he makes me a gourmet meal with wine and my favorite dessert and then makes love to me until 2:00 a.m."

Totally confused by now, I asked one more time, "Why in the world would you be crying?"

She looked up at me through her tearful eyes and said...

"I can't remember where I live!"

PIC OF THE WEEK - MEEET "THE BOY"

I took my first really long ride on the Boy this weekend... 271 miles.  It was sooooo nice! I had a lot of very nice "feel good" moments while I enjoyed my reunion with the road.  Even though it's been a year since Harley and I shared our last ride together, it literally felt like yesterday.  I guess it's the same as riding your bicycle... you don't forget how.

So, without further ado... let me introduce you to "the boy"... my '04 Fat Boy.

BEFORE

Dirty Boy

 AFTER

The Boy... shined up like a new penny!

 I changed out all of the leather trim, seat, and added bags. I'm having the windshield cut down to the proper height for me and I have one more piece of back fender trim I'm putting on.  Other than that, his grooming is pretty much complete.

I hope to put together a slide show of all my changes so you can see how different it really was. I'm still deciding if I'm going to do anything to the handlebars, but I think I will wait until I ride for a while to make that determination.

I'm just glad to be back on the road again... it was an awesome Saturday! Thank you God! Life is good!

Have a great week everybody!

PIC OF THE WEEK - RETIRED!

I became the legal owner (title and all!) of my Luxury Blue Fat Boy Friday! Woo Hoo!  I thought it was going to be great to finally take a ride Saturday, but alas, it wasn't going to happen.

To date, the few times I've ridden the Boy was to test ride, to the Probate office, and straight to the Harley shop to order some parts.  While there, I had my trusty wrencher take a look at him, and he thought it was in my best interest to replace my front tire before I rode it too much. He confirmed my fears... too many cracks from dry rot evident to deem it safe. I knew this bike had been sitting up for awhile, so he's going in today for some new rubber, and an oil change. I guess I'm going to have to wait until Saturday before I can put some significant miles on him.

That hasn't keep me from grooming him though!!

RETIRED

Worn out and retired.

I've removed some old parts, and started putting "my style" on him.  We've been cleaning him up, but it's taking numerous sessions. I'm sure the neighbors thought I was OCD when they saw me sitting next to him... on a stool... with a toothbrush. lol! I mean, how else are you going to get into the frame and the tiny little places without one!

Here's a sneaky peek of him waiting for his turn.

BATH DAY

My turn next!!

You can see Harley's beautiful Ultra in the background. His bike was in immaculate condition and just needed a good washing.  My Boy was not as fortunate, but I love him anyway. I can't wait to ride him... for real!

Have a nice week everybody!

FRIDAY FUNNY - THE SHARING OF MARRIAGE

The sharing of marriage....

The old man placed an order for one hamburger, fries and a drink. He unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in half, placing one half in front of his wife. He then carefully counted out the french fries, dividing them into two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife. He took a sip of the drink, his wife took a sip, and then set the cup down between them.

As he began to eat his few bites of hamburger, the people around them were looking over and whispering. Obviously they were thinking, "That poor old couple - all they can afford is one meal for the two of them."

The man continued to eat from his small portion of fries when a young man came to the table and politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple. The old man said they were just fine, and they were used to sharing everything. People closer to the table noticed the little old lady hadn't eaten a bite. She sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally taking turns sipping the drink.

Again, the young man came over and begged them to let him buy another meal for them. This time the old woman said, "No thank you, we are used to sharing everything."

Finally, as the old man finished and was wiping his face neatly with the napkin, the young man again came over to the little old lady who had yet to eat a single bite of food and asked, "What is it you are waiting for?"

She answered...

"THE TEETH."

32 YEARS AND COUNTING...

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US!!!

Then...

June 14, 1980

And now...

Still friends!

I'm amazed at how the time goes by sometimes. The nice thing for us is... we still LIKE each other. lol!!

It's also pretty cool, that we'll be able to celebrate this weekend with our first ride together since Harley's accident last May.  My title will be here tomorrow, so I'll be able to finally seal the deal.  Woo Hoo! I've not posted pictures yet, because I was afraid I would jinx myself.

Give me a couple days... I'll have plenty to share!

As my sweet friend KT always says... Happy Trailzzzzz!!!

Back in the saddle again,

PIC OF THE WEEK - TURTLE EXPRESS

I've been waiting for over a week now for the nice seller of an '04 Fat Boy to receive his replacement title, so we can conclude our business transaction.  I'm not worried about the deal falling through or anything like that... as he's already let me take possession of it. Yes... it's in my garage!  But, I know it's not mine yet, and I'm a big believer in not counting chicken's before they're hatched... if you know what I mean.

The other morning Harley shouted at me from the other room, "Hey, your title is here!"  Not sure what he was referring to, I walked into the room he was in and found him looking out the window toward our pool in the back. Pointing outside he continued, "Look... It's the Turtle Express."

TURTLE EXPRESS

 
The closest storm ditch or creek is a long way away from our house and I wondered where this big boy came from?  His shell was the size of a cereal bowl! The cat's didn't seem to mind the intrusion, but he didn't hang around long enough to give them a chance to change their mind. I never even noticed when he slipped away... quietly... steadily.

I guess he went to find out what happen to my title.

Have a nice week everybody!
