P> Damn Char, I'm so sorry to hear all the bad luck. Hang in there kiddo.

Ck and I had a good time at the rally (I think). I was walking across the field where the vendors were, and the most GORGEOUS man I have ever seen turns around. He is dressed as Jesus for Halloween, and had lights strung under the robe, lighting him up like a dang Christmas tree. I walk up to him and tell him, "Forgive me father for I have sinned." Then I planted the most awesome kiss on the dude that I have ever had in my LIFE. Made my toes curl. I was born again! (Oh, and the weather was perfect too.)

Char--I'm sorry to hear about your bad luck lately. I know it will turn around soon.

C'Kat--Anytime you come out this way I'd love to ride with you, just say the word. And if you could swing it, bring Diji, Char, and anyone else you can.

All-Diji failed to mention that we now have new riding names - Thelma and Louise. Gee, I really don't see THAT much of a resemblance of Dij to Gina Davis but me and Susan oh yeah twinsies ;-)Which would explain a very brief fling with a 34 year old baby beef or as Dij calls them infantile bovine. Another great kisser but I'm still not ready.

Also, ding dong the witch is gone which ol' *itch the wicked witch is gone off the property. Huge relief. Well guess I'll go get some new lipstick for the ralley :)

Glad to hear you are back on two wheels Leona. Thanks to our fearless leader HAMMERLADY, I have the Savage going again. Thanks HL for the mechanic advice. You were right on.

I'm glad Robert is doing well Wolfie.

1WS I'm so glad to hear that Robert is doing so well, and congrats on the new member of the family, what a cutie!

WM-I'm sure you'll have Kat purrin again in no time. You do have your ways when you CHOOSE to be charming lol.

Mother-in-law must be related to W.M.s ex as Rick said she was thinking of suing for "Adverse Possession aka Squatters Rights" for part of the property. She paid $5,000.00 for her trailer 15 years ago and got mad when I refused to give her daughter the riding lawn mower, Rick's tools, the big tractor and something for her trailer. She bought a double wide which she has moved onto her daughter's property and now expects us to pay her for the delight of her being next door for 15 years. In which she: Put her needs in front of our family;Burned down neighbors property and refused to pay for it until they threatened to sue and then I negotiated the Insurance Company down $10,000.00 while doing the legal research to proove to Rick and his mom that deliberately setting fire to trash is not an "Act of God"; Never paid one penny for the lot; Her water was paid for on our electricity; Took big vacations with her son (including several to Las Vegas); bring her dogs over to poop in front of my front porch, took her to the doctor, etc. I did the research and she doesn't have a leg to stand on and if she comes around me she might not have any legs or arms or head. Rick said "Please don't do anything to my mother" I haven't done anything to her while all she has done since he left is stir stuff up. I sent him an email stating she was in the middle of the marriage for years. She needs to stay out of the divorce!!!!!!

On the bright side CHARLOTTE-take me away lol. Looking forward to next month girlly.

HL, thanks for posting the Sisters thing - I read that some years back and truly enjoyed it, but could never find it again.

Well, I have not been riding for about two weeks, and I am really going through PMS (parked motorcycle syndrome, as HammerLady calls it) I hate that my bike is parked.
The slight oil leak turned out to be a lot more troublesome than we first thought. Who would have thought that a stripped bolt that was within an oil pathway would involve dismantling the engine? At least the engine didn't have to come off the frame, but it seems that everything else has been removed.
Diji, I sure know a lot more about the Savage (and engines in general) than I did a few weeks ago.
I am so lucky to have the most excellent expert teacher on how this all works together, THANK YOU Wrench!

I will just have to live through you all for the riding you all are doing.

CKat-- how's things?

1WS--my thoughts are with you and Robert as he gets ready for surgery.

I think that a meet and greet next summer would be awsome. I'm not into Sturgis, but just a get together would be fun.

Well, its late and I gotta go to bed.

Diji and I had a fun trip. The ride up and back was great around 300 miles total. However, we woke up in a lake. Especially me I had a little well way too much to drink and didn't zip up my tent window and when I woke up I was completely soaked. The Vets were really great and Mother took our tents and stuff that were caked in inches of mud and guys that had trailered their bikes in for the dirt drags trailered ours out through 4 to 6 inches of water and mud for about a mile. Over all though it was a great trip and very good people. Then Wednesday I got my very first real kiss. Wowie!!!! And that's all it was no copie feelies or other shenanigans. Gives me hope that I am still somewhat attractive.

WS-My thoughts and prayers are with you and Robert.

The divorce was filed Wednesday. I went by and told him since he works for the newspaper I didn't want his co-workers coming up to him and Saying hey Rici lookee here your wife is divorcing you. Things are more obvious now what happened. As a friend of mine who saw him said and I'm quoting the conversation word for word. Sandy-Rick sure looks skinny.....Me-Yep....Sandy-Rick been doing things he shouldn't be doing?....Me-Yep.

Char-Dij and I are talking about coming the weekend of November 11th.

It has been busy around here with my oldest home for the weekend. I forget how crazy life gets when I have both my kids home. I love it though, not a moment to myself, just like when they were tots.
