"Memorial Day is a US federal holiday wherein the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces are remembered. The holiday, which is celebrated every year on the final Monday of May, was formerly known as Decoration Day and originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the Union and Confederate soldiers who died in the Civil War. By the 20th century, Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died while in the military service. Memorial Day is not to be confused with Veterans Day; Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving, while Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans.” “And they who for their country die shall fill an honored grave, for glory lights the soldier's tomb, and beauty weeps the brave.” Joseph Drake I am proud to have served in defense of my country. I am proud of being a Veteran. I value the words of those who come up to me and say, “Tha

I know .. I know... I need to slow down.  Laying in the hospital bed eight days ago after my lil' spell on the motorcycle I was in a quandary.  I'm trying to break out on Monday, knowing I'm scheduled to leave to Mexico on Wednesday.  Lets just say .. all worked out.  On the plane down I had a weird issue as well as on Friday at a restaurant .. but with Lucy's help I survived it all.  What's the saying ..

After a few drinks, we've asked him to play for us again for our 35th at the house this past week, with the Kennedys celebrating their 21st..  Well, as we got closer this is all began to morph into something bigger / different that was originally discussed and we weren't 'feeling it' like we were

Another Steel Horse Rally in the books!  This is my third and as always, a great time.  As soon as I got home from ‘21s, put this one on the calendar.  Few things have changed up for me as time goes on.  The first one was all about ‘Indians’ …  rode in with my IIRA vest.  Last year, rode in with CVMA, but met up with some of my Indian buddies.  This year, all about CVMA and two of my buddies rode their Indians in and we all hung out. This year was to be a nice one because Lucy came in this time, riding with Holly and Nancy.   Myself, Brother Dick, Mark Kennedy and Dave Vestal would ride up, with Dave on this trike and Kathy on the back.   So all in all, we’ve got eight of us. Was supposed to be ten, but one couple had to bow out the day before.   As the weekend was approaching, mother nature is threatening us with some crazy weather and we’re convinced it’s going to be a wet one.   Discussed leaving a day early, then opted not to.   Leaving a day later wasn’t an option to me because
