Friday afternoon and I have a lot of asphalt to go before I can get home, but it's all worth it to say so long to this old fart who retires today. I'll miss him, and I'll really miss taking money from him each and every time we play golf. He enjoys the game much more than normal people, and I hope he gets to play thousands of rounds now, and ride his little Yamaha scooter a bunch, so long to a tireless worker
And so long to a million mile BMW rider, 81 year old Ardys Kellerman died in an accident in Alabama this week. Now the 1,000,000 BMW Women's Club has only one member. So long Queenie
And hello Annabel, this week was Beach Week, the Sanford crew could only stay until Tuesday, but we all had a great time.
But somehow or another they forgot to take this one with them when they left, so he's been the King of the Beach all week. Heard about all of his adventures and look forward to seeing him tomorrow morning. See a common denominator here?
In touch with my old bike's new owner this past week, she's the gray beauty with the trailer. He's done a lot of work on her, including building this lightweight trailer for trips. He told me he doesn't even realize the trailer is attached. He and his son completed a 2,500 mile trip in late May, you think I'm jealous? New shocks and new tires, he tells me she rides like a new bike. Good news that his trip was a safe and happy one
And now here I sit, broken hearted (you know the rest I'm sure), 12:00 PM on a Friday and I'm in Ohio. Oh well, part of the job. I'll be in town all next week, we have to figure out how to celebrate Jay's birthday on the 5th. Hard to believe we have a kid who is now 33, boy oh by is TAR starting to get old. Maybe we should start by telling him the fireworks and celebrations the night before his birthday aren't really for his birthday................
Next Saturday I leave in search of adventure, more on that later
