 :) So, was Santa good to ya boys 'n girls??? or, did he sadly pass you by... :o

Santa brought me: A new three in one riding jacket for the new season ahead, a bottle of scotch, C.D, 2010 motorcycle calendar, new watch, three gift cards, underwear, anti smelly stuff, a mega jar of salted peanuts, 2010 Broons calendar, ceramic travel mug and a few other bits 'n pieces...Sooooooooo, no complaints from me, eh!!!... 8)

What about YOU... ???

              8).......TIGER....... 8)
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA lets go again baby !!!!!!

'82 Vision, Pearl Orange finish, lots of up-grades!!!

I will have to reply later to what I got as we had ten plus inches new snow, blowing and drifting, power has now been out for almost 24 hours (at my kids house now) so just haven't gotten together and opened anything up yet. Have been snowed in since Weds, missed all X-mas church service and before I could get to my kids house today had to blow out a snow drift over 4 feet high, thank you neighbor for owning a nice new ten HP snowblower. And he was glad to help me as a few weeks ago he couldn't get it started (but I figured it out). The midwest Christmas blizzard of 2009 and darn, it's snowing again! So last night by flashlight I read about half of last year X-mas present, "A twist of the wrist two", interesting book but geared more to racing then street riding, I'll play student and submit a book report perhaps this spring after I try out a few of his ideas.

Santa pretty much passed me by this year.  Not entirely, though - got braces on the lower teeth a couple weeks ago & am ordering my telescope kit next week.  However, it was a most enjoyable Christmas - spent time with family & friends & that's always a good thing.

Mother Nature left Don V a real nice White Christmas!  The US Senate just gave the nation a lump of coal . . ..

If you have an accident on a motorcycle, it's always your fault. Tough call, but it has to be that way. You're in the right, and dead -on a bike. The principle is not to have any accident. If you're involved in an an accident, it's because you did not anticipate. Then, by default, you failed.

The remains of a 1982 550 - ex wreckers, a gift from a motorcycle friend.

Somewhat depleted but has a good motor, frame, tank, an original seat in good condition (it's for sale).

Means I can do up the motor, paint the tank and front guard at my leisure.

I got a stocking cap, some really nice thinsulate gauntlet gloves, a couple sweaters and a gadger bag for all the things that I lose in my backpack.

Heading to the 'rents house tomorrow for the rest of the Christmas celebration.

Only regret is that my son skipped out on another Christmas again this year...his third in a row.  I still have the same card for him that I bought three years ago.  :-(

I agree, they didn't go far enough to provide universal health care...

I got a Garmin/Nuvi 550.  It's pretty cool.

Well I got a new laptop, 2 Ipod Nanos with Hannah Montana protective covers, an Olympus digital point and shoot that even works under water to 33 feet, some chocolates and some cash.  And the worst of it I have to share all this with both my daughters(8 &10 yr olds).  Or did they get all the presents I just got a lump of coal?  Anyways, we always make use of them as a normal family without any bickering (yeah right!!)
Keep it upright and she'll always be happy!

You need to meet my uncle (my moms twin brother).  He was an engineer on the LEM for the Apollo 11...well, all of the LEM's.  His name is supposedly on a plaque on the LEM on the moon.

Funny story about it too.  I was taking care of a patient in teh hospital a few months ago and he was talking about when he worked for Grumman.  I asked him what he did and he said he worked on the LEM project.  I told him that my uncle dod too and he hasked his name.  Turned out that they were best friends and lost contact after he moved from Long Island NY to TN.  Small world.
