I've been officially disabled since 2013....but of course the SSA definitely tried to get me to sell out for a lower monthly amount...which I promptly ignored. So with my disability & survivors benefit from my previous wife, I'm still able to pay my property taxes off every year. 94% chance of precip today....gotta shampoo the carpet before company gets here this weekend.

3 of them....got a grand-daughter who's also 23 y/o....All 3 are in their 20's w/ no kids YET....the way it's supposed to be.

Probably the same tradition that got me labeled "RedNeck" years ago....

Brilliant views there Chris....

Gotta be 1 of my very favorites...SERIOUS hotrod @ the VMX races....

Purple lilacs from last year....

I figured as much Pedro....neither of these boys have kids yet, but that day will come I'm sure. I couldn't more proud of both of 'em...as I became a Dad when I was 19.

1 is 23 y/o.... the other is 27 y/o...who will be here to collect his inheritance....2 motorcycles, tools & parts to keep 'em alive. The way this screwed up world is going, I'm not about to let the powers to be tax the sh*t outta him just to get what's rightfully his in the 1st place. So I'm bestowing to both of 'em all the things I have no use for anymore. Let 'em have their fun with their inheritance NOW & not have to wait for me to kick the bucket.....Pay It 4ward!! Only request I have is: Teach your kids how to Ride!! Let them know what that "Ticket To Freedom" feels like.

Got word yesterday that my grandson will be here this weekend w/ his GF....along w/ my oldest grandson showing up on Monday w/ his wife...to say the least, I'm Stoked!! When these 2 guys get together, it's a huge De Javu moment for me. Both these guys are 1st borns from my sons & are the same 3 year difference as their Dads. It's gonna be a Laugh-Fest!

Considering it's only an 80cc....it's probably more like a 16" front wheel.

Very Kool micro-MX'r....

I met Pete in 2003 when he took over the reigns of YOC....made it run a helluva lot better! Once he found a pic of me w/ my mullet, it was on!....I was hence forth known as the "RedNeck"...lol I think I was on about a half dozen different bike sites that he had his hand in. For years he gave me sh*t for looking like a redneck & accusing me of living in a trailer park....then in '06 I got a drafting job a 150+ miles away from where I was living....& low & behold I ended up in an RV park living in a trailer!...lol He was beside himself w/ laughter. After that summer of '06, I moved back home to Milwaukie (suburb south of Portland) & proceeded to carry on with a new-found perspective on life. I will NEVER forget the 1 time I got a phone call from him & hear his profound welsh accent...it meant alot @ the time. I then came to find out that my ancestors came from Wales to north America back in the 1600's. Through him & his bike forum savy, I've meet a lot of like minded friends from all over the world....all with 1 thing in common....2 Wheels! His "Matter Of Fact" 'tude will be sorely missed...& I truly hope he's Riding In Peace somewhere up in the heavenly's.

White Lilacs are popping right now....Purple ones...not so much this year...

'Berg smoker....

The Kentucky Kid....where it all started....

Another Flyin' Finn who put the Tuning Forks on the map...

Yep....can't begin to tell ya how much I'd love to ride this beast again.....but alas, gonna hand it off to my boy in 1 week...who actually was the last person to ride it.
