DOB

We all have them, some of us age better than others... Just another day for me . It was nice to get happy birthdays from old friends on FB. It was even nicer getting the "happy birthday old man!" from Ardun Crash Emmett. I wouldnt have him if i didnt have you babe. You are the best birthday gift ever!

Family

Get to know your family. Build strong bonds. Allways tell the truth. Hide nothing. I love my family, even the shitty ones!

The ol' 77

It's official. We have parted ways. 33 years as part of the family. I'm gonna miss that ol' truck.

Titles

Made it by the courthouse on my lunch break. She's in my name now. Good-bye Michigan title, hello Texas title. Tagged, inspected and in my name... The great American freedom machine!

GOING, GOING, GONE!!!

Bitter sweet... Hated to see it go, but happy its gone. Take care ol' CB.

Next up on the craigslist. Ready for it to be gone, but will be sad to see it gone.

Happy 3rd birthday lil' buddy!

Well my little buddy turned three today. Three going on five. For three he sure does seem to know an awful lot. I'm in constant aww of word selection and emotion. I love you Ardun Crash Emmett, Happy 3 years old!

The parting

My new years resolution this year was to stop being so attached to things. I thought about it for a few weeks... Hey, I've got two bikes and two Blazers... Shouldn't I only have one of each? By thinking this I immediately told myself if you thought this, it must be right, right? So, which Blazer and which bike to go? On the Blazer, I've got one that my dad bought in '79. How much more sentimental can you get? I practiclly grew up in that thing! Then there is the new to me Blazer. It is way more solid of a truck, better engine, better transmission, newer this that and all. So what's it gonna be, sentimental or sound? Being as I plan on keeping one of them forever, I'm going with sound. My Pops and I have been through alot with that ol' Blazer, lots of memories, both good and bad. That's just it. Memories. I think some other father and son need to get the truck and let it create memories for them. I've hogged it enough.
  The CB750 below was bought because it was a good deal, and because it is a '73 (the year I was born).  I almost feel I need to part with it before I end up looking at it like it's the Blazer (to prove a point). I'll still have a Blazer, and I'll still have a bike. But for now, I have two of each. Come on craigslist. Hate to see them go, but I'm looking at it like I am hoarding someone elses future memories...

Loco Greengo

It's only a matter of time... She'll be back and prettier than ever!

HaPpY nEw YeAr!!!

Two wheels or four...

Start it off with a BANG!

My new years resolution is to two wheel it every chance I get, make time for my ol' pals I rarely see, be the best husband and father I can be, and kick that nasty hoarding habit I've been hoarding... That ought to keep me busy for a year...

The Tumbleweed Boys

Momma just left for the grocery store and told us to stay home and clean...

Hitched

Sunday October 23, 2011. My buddy Brandan, who is like a cousin to me, marrys Meghan. The wife (pictured on the left) and I borrrowed John's '49, equipped with 15 Dr Pepper cans to trail us, to drive off the newly weds. I had the best time I've had in a long time. Something about being surrounded by good people in good spirits... I saw people I hadn't seen in 20 + years. Stories of memories past, and of memories to come. Congratulations to the newlyweds. (And thanks Johhny for loaning me the ride at the last minute!) 

Familia

If it wasn't for the (good lookin') one on the left, I wouldn't have the two on the right.  Kids to me are like cars... They require a lot of attention and reflect the time and money spent on them. Come to think of it, so are relationships... You only get out what you put in. Raise 'em right, and make a date with the good lookin' one!

Viva Knievel!!!

Fractured elbow and about seven or eight strawberries... Bones heal and chicks dig scars, play that sympathy card buddy!

Career choice



Heath Murray. True friend, true hot rodder. Heath has given me oportunity to work on hot rods Monday thru Friday.  This gives me weekends to spend with the family. Positive vibes in my future. 



WEEKENDS with the family!

DFW - Detroit - DFW

Left DFW on a late flight after work on Saturday. Pop's left Fort Worth on Wednesday (3 days ahead of me). He picks me up at the DTM Airport at almost midnight. We get up on Sunday and head on over to the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village. After a long day of soaking up some of Michigan's sights we head on over to Carl's and pick up my newest purchase... Get a good night's sleep... And  Truck it on home to the DFW. Great trip, great weather, and great people... oh, and great purchase!

picked it up on 9-11



finally made it home

back to the good ol' homestead!

Two more wake ups and it's off to Detroit. I'm ready.

1973

1973 Electra Glide



the one on the left



Donald's old hardtail.


Stumbled upon a 1973 FLH. Everything about it sounds just right. Even the price! Shook hands with the owner over the phone. Now all I have to do is come up with the dough. Selling the one on the left and Donald's old hardtail to aquire the FLH. The old K5 used to belong to my dad and has been in the family for 32 years. I never, NEVER, ever thought I'd be parting ways with this old pal of mine. I grew up in that truck and have a shit-ton of memories with that thing. I'l be really sad to part ways with the family truck, but I have plenty of memeories both good and bad. As for Donald's old hardtail, we made some memories too.

THE little THINGS

It's the little things that make the world go round.  Thank you Ardun for all the laughs. You are my new best friend!

Lonestar Round Up

It's that time of year again and I still haven't touched the Greengo... Maybe next year???

Happy 2nd birthday lil' buddy!

It's been a quick 2... The only thing I'd change is I'd slow the clock down.
