Thank you Sarah,
Mom is correct in saying that I have maybe over extended myself a little. A cup of coffee turns into a breakfast, turns into a room for a night or two. So I have a question for all of you, I see a lot of things on social media about GOFUNDME???? Not positive about the site name. What are your thoughts ? I will gladly contribute money to get it stared Can there be stipulations that its for homeless veterans? Looking for some good advice.

A lot of homeless have either an addiction or some mental illness, if you give an addict cash they will use it for drugs or alcohol.
i personally never give cash.
ways you can help:
Food Drives for a food bank in your area.
Clothing and blanket drives (food bank or church).
Homeless shelters (talk to the homeless and see which one does the most for them).
this is just a start I am sure others can add to the list.

Perhaps start here: https://www.va.gov/homeless/
I'm sure there are a lot of groups out there but I would check them out first.

Missing My Dad
I have been a member for several years now since 2008 and rarely post anything. Been riding since 73 or so. Started in California on a Honda, then got my first Harley in 75. Gave up the bike when my son was born in 76. It wasn't until 2008 after he was grown and graduated college, married and blessed me with my first grandchild, that I allowed myself to get another bike. I have owned several since then, 08 Dyna, 09 Street Glide, 14 Ultra Limited, 15 CVO Street Glide and now a 17 Ultra Limited. Getting up in years now, and very much enjoy riding with my wife, I read the forum every couple days or so and reflect on the changes over the years. Only one thing holds true for me over all the years. Don't judge others, be respectful to everyone, and enjoy the time you have in this life. I was recently diagnosed with cancer and I know my riding days will come to an end. Remember to enjoy life and your bike. However, remember your priorities ( family, children ) should always come first. I always end my reading on this forum because there are a lot of new riders who ask for information and guidance and it doesn't always get off in left field with the topic changed by the 4th or 5th response. I am a disabled veteran from back in the day, a Patriot Guard Rider and support all good causes that raise money for those in need. Please pause for just a moment to think about where you would like to be in your final days on this earth. Did you do the "right thing" ? I wish you all nothing but sunny warm days and long rides, This will be my last post and I have probably rambled on way too much. Be safe and I'll see you on the other side.
These last few weeks have been difficult and I apologize for not posting sooner. I have been volunteering for a lot of overtime and working very hard to get my savings account built back up. I am sitting here reflecting on what Dad wanted for all of us. Kindness towards everyone, and the desire to give nothing more than respect to all no matter what path life has led you down. Veterans Day is nearing and I wish Dad had a head stone to visit and lay a wreath on in December. Mom and I honored his last wish and I know he is out there somewhere catching a wave. My wish is that everyone remember those who have served our country. Especially those who are homeless and forgotten. Also those who haven't but may just need to know that we care about them. Winter is coming and they will need help. Just wanted to say hello and again say a heartfelt thank you to all of you. Wishing you "warm sunny days and long rides" God bless you all...………

Sounds like you certainly deserve it!! Hope you had a good one. And are you pretty comfortable on the bike now? Sorry, lost track a bit but seem to remember you were going through a bike transition?
