Grouchy old bastard was grinning like a mule eatin' saw briars and even gave her a free t-shirt! Bwahaha!

The King will not be replaced (there's the heavy heart part) as I have come to the conclusion that life has changed a lot in the past 2 years and my focus is on family and camping. I was lamenting with my wife this weekend, and a Harley has been such a HUGE part of my life for nearly a decade and I never saw these changes coming, but they are here.

They are good and fun changes, but a lot of different than what I thought it would. We purchased some lakefront property and my free time and free cash flow are being spent at the lake. So much so that when I am not at the lake, I dream of the lake.

Whew, that was heavy, so back to your regularly scheduled program.

Craig, you do what you think is right my friend. Of course that doesn't mean you get to be a stranger and not come back and visit us here!

One day, everyone of us will be a stage when we cut our sleds loose, either selling them or handing them down. It happens to all of us, you just chose a different path. Enjoy your property but more importantly, enjoy your family.

He gave me the stink eye and told me I wasn't pretty enough! I think my feelings are hurt!
