Of June days and fireflies

It's been one heck of a month

I post this on July 4th and looking back at

June it's hard to belive what all has happened

it's has all been good even the low spots

are all good.

I don't spend alot of time thinking or dwelling on

the low points, it's more important to push on.

"Forever Forward" as Lynn says

We spent 2 nights at the new house

Yes we still don't have water or heat and air

And after getting our first quote on all that 

($41,000.00) well lets just say we will be getting

more quotes.

Our first night we stay was magical. Lynn likes FireFlies and has always wanted to play with them.

And being able to in our own front yard made her

night.

 Now we tried to take pictures and video of them

lighting up the night but we came up short.

I have since then learned what setting the camera needs to be set on.

We started the day loading up the upholstery machine I got from Richard Stumps son after his passing and tons of upholstery fabric and the settees I bought a few months back.

The game plan is simple

This winter I will work on the settees , Lynns wash room, floors in the cubbies and build a Santa rug from the entry.

I have had sort of a monkey on my back the entire month of June.

We had a window upstairs that need to be replaced, just a pain of glass that all.

But after me not measuring right on the first one then trying to cut it to the right size and breaking it, then on the second one it broke putting it in, then the third one doing the same thing and finally the fourth one I had it cut at a really nice hardware store in Vernon Texas (26 miles from Frederick). It still did not fit so we loaded up the pain of glass and the window frame and took it back to the hardware store and he cut it just right.

While we were in Vernon we found a nice place to eat

I give you the Brown Cow resturaunt

 Yes that Lynn and yes thats crutches

She took a fall (a very short fall) 

but she mess up her foot

But while we were at the Hardware store

I found Lynn a porch swing

and for a lot less thank in OKC.

Now I going to back up a min

The second night we stayed at the house

A big storm moved in

I had seen the lightning

and put up the camera

Enjoy

POOF!!

yep that's what I said

Poof! 

Ya got love when God or Karma or what ever you

want to call it steps in.

I have waited till now to tell this story,

Well because I have been thinking on just how to tell it.

So lets start at the beginning

A few weeks back Lynn and I were on our way down to the new house. We took the car because we have been taking the old dude with us as much as we can. So with the pups in the back seat fast asleep we were talking of life and friends and family, the events of the week you know life stuff.

 I have often ask Lynn how tough she is

she has always told tough as she needs to be.

That she could be tough like me, this I do not question. She is one tough girl in life and in riding.

But we were talking about being tough and dark down right mean, pitch black.

And she was saying how she could be like me tough dark pitch black and that she could make choices based on those dark feeling, never to look back or question the choice or choices she would make.

I laughed and said no you could not 

she said yes I could

I said there is no way you could be mean or make really dark choices.
"Yes I can, I can be DARK!!!"
BANG!!!!
was all that we heard 
You see we were headed south on 183 just off of Hwy 62 and I had the car up around 80 MPH
and as we heard the BANG I looked in the rear view mirror and all I seen was feathers.
It seem that right at the moment Lynn said with no uncertainty that she could be dark well we hit a dove. 
She with all her being "DARK" started freaking out
what was that
did we hit a Dove
we have to go back and if it's all right
and of course here comes the tears 
Me still looking in the rear view and sort smiling
all I could say is 
I don't think it made it
Then I looked at her and said
That's Gods way of telling you ,you can't be dark
See I said to her there is a difference between
saying you can be DARK and truly being able to be dark.
You say you can be dark then break down a start crying
Me I look at the feathers in the rear view
and say "Lets line em up again"
To say the least she was a basket case the rest of the day and 7 hours later she still teared up talking about it.
So I guess the lesson to be learned from this is a simple one
Don't think you can be Dark when you are a kind person
OH AND HERE'S YOUR PROOF
I mean birdy
POOF

WhiteWolf 

Well a lot of you know that we lost a Brother this past week

and most of you know I did a video with pictures I snagged

from Face Book etc...

Like what we have done when we have lost other brothers

Lynn and I take a ride to reflect and remember them.

Now I can't claim I knew Scrap real well or that we put hundreds of

miles on our bikes together, but I can say I knew him and that we rode a few times together and that he was a brother.

Lynn and I put almost 300 miles on Skull Sunday just out and about

But it seemed we were being reminded of why we were riding on

This Sunday.

Well Scrap you seemed to be with us on this ride

We Will miss you

Now I choose to do the videos for our Brothers and Sisters that we lose

But Lynn can tell you it takes a lot out of me.

I don't do funerals, I just don't

The last time I went to one Lynn and I were dating in high school.

Haven't been to one since.

I more than likely  will not go to my own.

I sit and think of all those who have lost a riding brothers

and I am so thankful that mine is still around

After all 40 years together and we still can ride together

So this video is different than the others I have done

CHECK IT OUT

enjoy

Well what a day

Lynn and I woke early to take the puppies

and headed South to the new house to mow

and hang out.

As with most mornings I check TCU and Honda

Choppers to see whats going on.

Well this morn we were hit hard with the news of

one of our brothers passing

Scraphous

 Mike "Scraphous" Heminghous

He was a great guy and Lynns coffee buddy

I can remember when we went to the Hunnet car pile up see Lynn in her Bunny hoddie footie and Mike standing by the fire around 4am talking and drinking coffee.

Well I did a video of Mike with a few pic's I snagged off of FaceBook

so Here's to you Scrapy

So I know this is a motorcycle blog and sort of a running story of our life on the 

road and behind the bars, but there are other parts to our life that I have been sharing

with those who check this blog.

As most of you know we are planning on leaving OKC soon aand moving to

our future home town of Frederick, and most of you know we are getting our

new house ready for us well this week was no diffrent.

We went to an estate sale here in OKC at a house that was once owned by the Chatholic church

and we went really to check out the house which was great but we ended up buying 2 items

for our house.

a Buffet

 and a small gable leg writting desk

Here are some pic of this great house

with this weekend being wet cold and rainy we found other ways

of having fun.

That was Saturday

now it was time for Saturday night

on to downtown OKC and to watch our grand daughter sing with her class at the 

OKC Blue basket ball game.

More to come
