Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

I rode Dakota yesterday. Badger might get a light ride today or tomorrow if it doesn't rain on us.

Going anti-tech in my old age...haha...
I’ve stopped carrying my cellphone on my person unless I’m specifically expecting an “important” call. It can ride in my saddlebags until I need it. I’d really like to trade my 2014 Dodge Cummins truck on a 1992 model. There’s something great about no computer involvement. The wife isn’t as keen unfortunately...

I've been saying for a long time; technology can be a destructive thing :roll:
Especially where our kids and grandkids are concerned!

Ya just take a drive on the motorcycle. Every car in an intersection has there cell phone in there face playing on it or texting while driving down the road. Had to stop on the bicycle path the other night because some young kid had his cell phone in his face and wasnt paying attention. He was weaving all over and I knew he didnt see me. Yelled at him when he got close and he still almost hit me.

I hear ya Al. Makes me just want to go to the cabin on the mountain and never come back to all the crazy ways of society any more. If it were not for family and the grandkids...I probably would!....sorry, just venting :(

More severe storms this afternoon for KC, they're saying. What a spring/summer. Right around 12" over our average annual rainfall SO FAR. Should make for some great fall foliage/colors.

Deserve at least some great color for all that rain! Maybe some vivid orange and pink :?: :lol:
