GOLFING WITH FRIENDS..................SCENIC VIEW GOLF COURSE.......

Lets go golfing!! Today is a great day to get away and have some fun. The weather is perfect for a round today. The early morning sun is  glowing on the green landscape of a well manicured course. Looks who is going to drive my cart today and give me some tips on how to play. "Good morning Lynn, glad you could make it out this morning." " NickO I will help you on the first two holes, I was a member of the golf team back in my college days." I was a good player, not bragging it's just a fact. Lynn, hand me my 7 iron. OK that a good choice Nicko since this first hole is a 155 yards to the green with trees lining the right side of the fairway. That first green is on two levels, you might want to hit the ball on the lower side.
Lynn I hit a little short of the hole. Give me my putter and I'll give that birdie a try. Whack.........just missed the cup. " NickO you should have made that, now settle down and make your par. Hey, way to go par 3 is
good!!
Hole #2 is a par 4 dog leg to the left guarded by big trees on the left. The safe route is to hit the ball out into the fairway far enough to avoid the trees and you will have an open pitch shoot to the sloping green. Whack......looks like a good shot Lynn. Yes, NickO it was a good one now take your pitching wedge; your about 100 yards out and give me a nice smooth approach to the green. Whack.........................I pulled it to the right side. Go ahead and pitch it onto the green. Whack...........I'm on in 3 Lynn. I'm putting for a par...................................WOW!!!!!! it went in, man I love when a putt falls. Thanks Lynn for the help and driving the cart. You did great with all your tips.

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT............................

My niece, Brandy said it was love at first sight. What are the odds of two people born in the same hospital on the same day at almost the exact time meeting many years later dating, falling in love and marriage.
It happened to Brandy and Clint. Yeah, they meet in the nursery at birth. Years later they would marry and raise a family. Yesterday they celebrated their birthdays together.

MOTORCYCLE CYBER TRIP.........FINAL??????????????

The riders are enjoying the peaceful ride across New Mexico and on into Arizona. Those crazy little midgets are some where in Mexico chasing an hombre headed toward Cancun. Our gang has arrived in Phoenix, Az. and have camped out for the night. LindaO and the riders are camped out near the Salt River where Wade will attempt to jump the river tomorrow on his Harley. LindaO has set up her big top tent for the riders. The girls have built a huge camp fire that will burn well in the night. Someone has discovered that the gas tank on the coffin car is a Beer Keg and not a gas tank. Diana and Wade where the first to discover and man did they drink!! I sure hope Wade doesn't get to pickled, he has to be in top form tomorrow for his jump.
Lois has brought along some rattlesnake steaks from Sweetwater and the gang has cooked then over the roaring fire. Partying went on well into the early morning hours. Finally everyting was quite except a lot of snoring.ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
As the sun comes up we find the gang slowly rising from the night's partying. Several are down at the river building a takeoff ramp for Wade's jump across the Salt River. Things are buzzing all around, the girls are over at the tent and looks like LindaO is about to remove the bandages from Shorty's face. Mia is assisting LindaO and we hear Lois say, " I sure hope those injuries to Shorty's face hasn't disfigured him for life, I've become very attached to him since I ran over him." The bandages are being removed from his face and finally we all get to see what Shorty looks like. The gang is speechless as we get our first good look.............................................................................
The crowd is silent.......................................................Mia, " I think he might look at little like Wade but quite younger. Lois, " He just adorable to me" Dakota, " That's all we need: another Wade Ramone in the mini-size. Shorty, "Watch it Dakota that's uncalled for!!" NickO, " I sure hope this turn of events hasn't thrown Wade off his game plan. Wade is speechless for the first time in his life. Diana, " well wade say something" Wade."luzxsuryngktus" translated: CussWords. NickO, " I've heard that everyone has a look a like some where in this world and Shorty has found his." Shorty is a little BASHFUL????
Wade has stormed off down to the river and has saddled up on his Harley to attempt the jump over the Salt River. What a huge crowd of locals that are here for blood. Wade is on the cycle making a trial run up the ramp to check and see if all systems are good to go. He stops at the top of the ramp and gives a thumbs up. He's now back about 250 yards and is racing the engine, varoom,varoom,varoom, he's off in a crowd of tire smoke approaching the ramp at over 110 mph, he's airborne into space, ( Wade's thoughts while in the air: this has to be the dumbest thing I have ever done, this landing is going to hurt...............................................) The crowd is on their feet and a huge roar fills the air as Wade has made a perfect landing . He's now coming back to the landing ramp doing a wheelie for the crowd. Wade," I'd like to thank everyone that made this possible."
Every thing happens for a reason and it looks like all is well finally on our trip. Tomorrow we will find out what might have happen to our online riders in the future.

MOTORCYCLE CYBER TRIP.............

Due too computer problem todays blog will not happen. Sorry. I lost the entire one hour blog. It disappeared. Unable to recover!!!

MOTORCYCLE CYBER TRIP.............DAY FINAL!!!!!!!!!

MOTORCYCLE CYBER TRIP..................DAY 6

Yesterday Wade was bitten on the finger by a large rattlesnake as he lowered Shorty into the pit of snakes. Shorty finally talked. Things weren't looking good for Wade but with the great work of LindaO Wade is remarkably in great shape this morning. I'm sad to say the snake died for some unknown reason. It sure is baffling the scienctic community as to the cause of the snake's death. The snake has been sent for further test at John Hopkins Medical Center. I believe this is a first time in history that a man bitten by a snake lived and the snake died???
Today's ride should be a calm one as the midgets are chasing Dakota and famersdaughter who have the gps tracking device and are one the way to Mexico to place the unit on a Mexican motorcycle. 300 of those little dudes might cause an international conflict down there south of the border, I sure hope so??
Roswell, New Mexico, did a flying saucer crash there in 1947. Millions of people believe it's true. Has the government covered the truth up all these years?? The riders arrive in Roswell and are waiting for Dakota and farmersdaughter to meet them to continue on to Arizona. Our gang has located Peppers Bar and Grille for some food and drinks. Several of you please watch what Wade does at the bar. The last time me and him were in a bar in Ohio it turn out to be a disaster didn't it??
Hey, the girls are back from Mexico. Dakota, " how is Wade??" Why don't you ask him he's at the bar having a few. NickO, " how did your mission go girls??" We found a mexican hombre motorcycle at a bar and hid the gps unit under the gas tank. It was so funny(LMAO) we stayed out of sight and the rider finally came out of the bar and left on his cycle. He hadn't been gone long till here comes those crazy riding midgets on those screaming mini-cycles in a cloud of dust waving their arms and shouting, " Were getting closer to them, boy are they going to get it!!!!
Ok gang lets ride. Tomorrow is the big day we will be arriving in Arizona for the big jump over the Salk River by Wade. Shorty's bandages will finally be removed from his accident. Varoom, Varoom, Varoom.......on the road again, on the road again.
Will Wade jump the river?? Who keeps Shorty?? A BIG Surprise??

MOTORCYCLE CYBER TRIP..................DAY 5

After an all nights ride the bikers arrive at the Sweetwater,Texas, Rattlesnake Roundup.Reports find our gang 50 miles ahead of those crazy little midget bike riders shadowing our every move. Unknown why they know where we are going, Shorty ain't talking. Wade has about given up on the idea we can make him talk. Time to relax and enjoy the Rattlesnake Roundup.
Since 1958 this event has been the highlight of the town of Sweetwater. 123 tons of rattlesnakes have been caught for the event. Some farmers and ranchers came up with the idea to rid the area from the menacing snakes that were hurting their livestock operations. Snakes are caught and weighted in at the event and the hunter with the largest catch wins the big cash prize. ( Sorry about the change in word size, It keeps on doing this and i can't correct???) That is the least of my problems this morning, the power went off here and I lost the blog I was almost finished with. The funny part was it happened just when Shorty was about to talk. LMAO!!!
Most of the riders are enjoying the event and several are eating grilled rattlesnake meat. Others have choose to eat the BBQ pork. A huge enclosed pit with hundreds of live rattlesnakes has caught the attention of a large crowd. Wade," I have an idea on how we can get Shorty to talk." Go for it Wade!! Wade has grabbed Shorty and is lifting the top to the snake pit while holding Shorty by the feet. Wade, "Shorty tells us what you know or I'm going to lower you into those snakes." NO,NO Big fellow please don't do that. Wade lowers Shorty slowly into the cage, Shorty ani"t talking, deeper and deeper Shorty is lower as the snakes are hissing and striking at his head. OK,OK, I'll talk........Wade pulls Shorty away from the mad snakes just in time. Shorty, "we hid a gps tracking unit on your bike while you and that other guy were in the biker's bar in Ohio. They are able to track you guys. Finally the mystery is solved by Wades bright idea. Wade, " NickO it wasn't too bright on my part look at my finger. One of the rattlesnakes has bite Wade on his bird finger. LindaO get your snake bite kit out and treat Wade's finger. LindaO rushes to her motorcycle with the sidecar full of her gear to find the snake bite kit. ( With all that gear she has brought I hope she finds it in time.) Wade isn't looking too good at the moment?
I need two volunteers to make a side trip.Who's it going to be?? Dakota, "I'll go, me too says Farmerdaugter. We can take the coffin car. Ok girls here is what you'll must do. NickO removes the gps tracking unit from Wade's cycle. Take this tracking unit and go down into Mexico and find a motorcycle and place it on the cycle; the midgets will continue to track the unit and that will get them off our trail. The girls speed off to Mexico on their mission. They are told that we will meet them in Roswell, N.M. tomorrow. Hidden out of sight the gang watches as the gang of midgets speed by their location . There must be 300 of those little dudes riding like crazy. Looks like they going to Mexico??? LMAO!!!!!
Will Wade survive.................What going to happen to Shorty??????

MOTORCYCLE CYBER TRIP..........DAY 4

The gang of Multiply motorcycles and hot rods are riding near the boarders of Ak. and La. in an attempt to throw the midgets off course. Our riders and drivers are on there way to Arizona where Wade wants to attempt to jump the Salt River on his cycle.
An update on the condition of Shorty that Lois ran over. LindaO has confirmed that his injuries were more serious than first reported. Facial injuries were bandaged by our LindaO and she had to give Shorty a sedative to calm him down. He's asleep in the 40 Ford with Lois at the wheel. Lois forgot to tell me that where she lives on an Island in New Zealand they have no roads. This would have kept her out of my blue car. Man we look KOOL riding down the road!!
We're stopping up ahead in Texas for some food and to rest a short while. That truck stop looks inviting as the gang comes to a halt for a needed rest. Wade, " NickO I think I need to find out from Shorty why those midgets know where we are going, they know our ever move." You're wanting to interrogate Shorty?? " Yes, I promise I want hurt him in any way?????" Go ahead Wade and take Diana and Dakota with you to observe the process. Shorty is awake and helped from the car and is now begin questioned by Wade. " Shorty how is your friends able to know our ever move on this trip??? Shorty." I ain't tell you nothing big guy. We didn't get too upset when you called us midgets back at the Biker Bar, we get that all the time, no big deal but when we came outside and found all our cycles on the ground all dented and scratched up that's when we went crazy. They will catch you and that other guy, you can't get away, they will follow you to the ends of the earth." Shorty, I'm giving you one more chance to tell me !!!! Shorty, " I've said all I'm going to say." ( I sure had my hopes up that Wade would get Shorty to talk.) Wade, NO FOOD FOR SHORTY!!
This trip is so intense for me, what started out to a pleasure trip has become a nightmare. We did meet a group of bikers from Arkansas at the truck stop and they have invited us to ride with them to a Rattlesnake Roundup and BBQ in Sweetwater , Texas for some fun. Their leader said they passed the midgets back about 25 miles. Varoom, varoom, varoom, on the road again, on the road again.....................................
Who sneaked Shorty one of those mini-burgers?? Deep fried rattlesnake meat waits in Sweetwater??

MOTORCYCLE CYBER TRIP.............DAY 3

Day 3 finds our riders cruising into Greenville, Ms. It's been a tough ride staying in front of those little people. They seem to know our ever move. We're meeting up with some other riders this am. Plans to stop and meet the others who have arrived and are waiting for us at Shoneys. We haven't eat in three days but who needs to eat on a cyber trip????Wade did share some jerky with me back in Ky. Roaring into the parking lot and oh, my goodness look at all these people waiting for us.
What started out as a motorcycle ride now includes a few hot rods who wanted to join the ride. That yellow car is driven by Mia Delight all the way from New Zealand and her co-pilot is Daisy. Please don't ask how she drove all the way from her beloved country to Ms. Mia has agreed to be our official photographer. Her photos are all copyrighted. Welcome girl, when we hit the road again you can bring up the rear. Wade, " I think I'll ride back there too, I can be on the lookout for those midgets, they are getting on my nerves!!!! Look who is driving my blue 40 coupe, it Lois from New Zealand too. She ask to drive it so I agreed if she would drive safe. My she's getting out of the car, Hi hun. " NickO I have some bad news................ I hit a little person about 8 miles back, I went to pass this gang of little people on those small motorcycles and one of them tried to block my pass as he pull out in the passing lane  and well I couldn't help hitting him. His little bike was totaled but I don't think it hurt your car very much. How is the little person???? Lois, " he's seems to be alright , maybe a little scratched up and a bump on his head, ........ NickO I have him in your car.WHAT!!!!!!!!!!! You have him in my car???? Well get him out and we will let LindaO take care of his injuries. Shorty ( wade, I guess you knew what his name would be) slowly  gets out of the car and LindaO is on the scene with her first aide kit.
That's enough excitement for the moment. Who in the world is driving that Casket Car above. Dakota speaks up, NickO that's is my new ride. Well you know it would belong to someone who can't stay out of the Buschs. That's The Busch Gardens for those who don't know Dakota. Oh, I see Lynn on her three wheeler. My Lynn your looking good this morning. Thanks, NickO I just had my hair done. Wade, " Lynn your as cute as a speckle pup." I see Flora from Ok on her cycle dressed in her leathers. Her leather jacket has a Hell's Angel logo on the back. Yes, NickO I did ride with the Hell's Angels back in the day, I was Elvis's gal. I got married later had 4 sons but kept this jacket, I just knew some day it would come in handy. Is that Darlene on that Honda back in the back. Yes, NickO I thought I would join the ride so you wouldn't have to stop in Louisiana for me. You might want to side track my state and throw those midgets off track, why don't you detour through Arkansas. That's sound like a good plan to me, Darlene. After we eat we need to hit the road again, those midgets are hot on our trail.
Tomorrow what will happen??? Has Lois become attached to Shorty?? Has anyone noticed who Shorty looks like???

 

MOTORCYCLE CYBER TRIP....................DAY 2

Day two finds us riding at a fast pace headed for Birmingham,Al. to meet up with LindaO. We are being pursued by a gang of little people riding their small cycles because Wade insulted them when we stopped to eat at Tiny's Biker Bar and Grille. Wade called them Midgets and in-sighted a near riot, The gang of little people are increasing in numbers as they ride through different states. What started out to be about 25 little riders is now reported to be about 100 of them. One of Diana's fellow truck drivers has report the growing numbers on his CB radio.
We are near our meeting place , Birmingham Hospital parking lot. LindaO didn't want us to meet her this early in the morning on her street. She was afraid we would make too much noise and wake her neighbors. Besides she just got off work at the hospital. She a nurse that likes to ride her motorcycle. I can't understand why a nurse would want to make this trip with this band of riders. Hey, I think I see her with a red motorcycle with a sidecar in the parking lot.
Hello LindaO so glad to finally meet you. That's some sharp cycle you have. Looks like you have it loaded with all kinds of items. Linda, " Yes, NickO I like to be prepared for the unexpected when I go some where." LindaO is meeting the other riders and they exchange hugs. She hasn't attempted to hug Wade yet. She did give him a wave. My goodness LindaO I can't believe all the stuff you have in the sidecar. I see a first aide kit, we might need that, a blood pressure machine, a snake bite kit and a pack of surgical needles and thread. LOL!!! those we might need but I see some other items you are bring along. A roll of duct tape, WD-40, a can of fix a flat, large makeup case, curling iron, 3 or 4 suitcases. Girl, we aren't going around the world, it's just a cyber trip. LindaO," well you never know what we might need out on this trip." Wade, " I agree with you LindaO, whats in this bag I'm holding??" Wade you put that bag down right this minute, that my personal things. Wade you heard the woman don't open that bag. You know women don't like men to open their belongings. Wade has opened the bag anyway. He's holding up a pair of black leather bikini's and a red thong. Wade, " There's no way that woman will fit in either one to these." LindaO, "Wade you are a horse's behind." (Clean version)
This trip is growing, Jacquie who rides a cycle for real rides into the parking lot to meet the gang. Hey, guys I just saw a gang of midgets on little cycles back about ten miles riding like crazy. There must have been a 100 of them. Their cycles sounded like a thousand chainsaw screaming. Hey, I see some more riders joining our ride. Hello Kim and she has brought along her Manthang. Welcome you two. I just don't understand how those little people know where we are going?? Some of the riders have theories about how the midgets are following our group. Ichampe aka Louise, " I bet they are listening to our CB radio chatter." Kim, "No way!! we might have a spy in the group???" Manthang, " You are all wrong, they have a laptop and are reading NickO's blog." LMAO!!!! Yeah, that's got to be the reason.
Gang, we better hit the road and stay ahead of those little people. Tomorrow more riders and two hot rods will join the ride. On our way to Greenville, Miss. to meet more riders. Travel safe!! Varoom, Varoom, etc......................................... Tomorrow, Mia Delight and who knows??????

MOTORCYCLE CYBER TRIP......DAY 1

Wade's all packed for the ride. Man his cycle is sharp, looks fast just setting still. Wade what are you taking on this trip?? " I've got my beer cooler loaded with beer, beanie weenies, sardines and jerky." I see you have on your overalls and a coonskin helmet. Wade we need to obey all the rules of the road and respect our fellow riders as we ride across the states. We don't need to stir up any trouble along the way, do you agree?? " Yes, NickO I agree." I can't wait to get to Phoenix." Why is that Wade. I'm going to jump the Salt River on this cycle. Well, that sounds like a good idea why we need to go to Arizona. Lets get going....Varoom, Varoom..................
We been riding for several hours and Wade comes on my CB radio wanting to stop and eat at the next diner in Ohio. Just up ahead we see Tiny's Biker Bar and Grille with tons of small cycles in the parking area. We enter the eating establishment and are amazed at the people eating and drinking at the bar and tables. Wade, " NickO all these guys are midgets" I don't think they like to be called that Wade, I believe they prefer to be called little people. " Well they look like midgets to me." Hey, big fellow who are you calling a midget ask the tallest one of them, all 4 foot of him. All the little people are now behind the tallest one and are they mad!! Wade, lets just leave and stay out of trouble. "NickO I think I can whip half of them." You might can but I'm not going to whip the other half, GET OUT OF HERE!!! We make it to the outside and I'm saddling up on my Harley. Hey Wade what are you doing??? Wade has kicked one of those small cycles over and it has caused a domino effect and all those little cycles are down on the ground. You think those little people were mad back in the bar just wait till they come outside and find all their bikes down. We are out of here in a cloud of dust. Varoom, Varoom.
Later down the road we see two riders approaching us from behind. Hey, it's Diana from Michigan an over the road truck driver and Ichampe from Md. They both are now riding with us and have made contact over our CB radios. Hey, guys what are all those little people riding like crazy about two miles back of us?? Girls, Wade promised me to be on his best behavior on this trip but he has already pissed off all the little people in Ohio. I think we can outrun all those little cycles there riding, man those dudes are pissed.
Riding at a slower speed now we are entering my state of Tennessee. We are headed for Alabama to join three more riders tomorrow. LindaO lives in Al. and Kim who is coming from Florida and Jacquia is coming from Georgia. Be here Sat. for more adventures on the road to Arizona. Anybody seen those little people????

MOTORCYCLE CYBER TRIP.....................

In real life I never got to take that long trip to see the world. I sure thought about it when I was younger but some how it never happened. Thanks to the cyber world a trip on a motorcycle is now possible for me. So guys and gals we are going on a cyber trip. Below is my ride for the trip. No, I want be doing wheelies like this rider but will use his Harley.         
I've got my gear packed and the Harley gassed up and we are off to Michigan to pick up our first rider. No, the trip will be quick on my ride. Traveling through Kentucky, the Bluegrass state, I don't know why they call it that, all the grass I see is green or brown. Cruising along into Ohio, the Buckeye state, I do know why they call that state, Buckeyes. Entering Michigan, Motor capital of the world. We find our guy waiting for me at Manland. You are wondering were is Manland, it's not on any maps. It's Wade's place at his home were he goes to get away from his wife. It's a barn on his land filled with his collected Junk, I guess you would call it?? I see him out by the barn as I park my bike nearby. Hey, Wade what's happening?? " Well NickO I really don't know what I'm going to do today." Wade, lets go for a ride, I know you have a cycle go get that baby out of the barn, it's a perfect day for a ride. Ok, NickO but you better not laugh at my ride!! Wade I would never disrespect your ride. Wade's bring out his beloved cycle. My goodness Wade that's an old one. Are you sure it will make a trip???

Wade, I sorry but I can't keep from laughing at the thing. I know old Wade likes to pull people's leg. He's a joker big time. He's putting that thing back in the barn. I wonder what he will bring out next? Now man that's what I'm talking about. That's a kool ride.

NickO, I follow you, were are we going? Wade, we are going to Arizona. "man that's a long ride." I know Wade but this is a cyber trip it want take long. You can be back home before your wife misses you. Varooom, Varrooo, were off in a cloud of dust.
Tune in tomorrow we might be riding into your town??

I THREW HIM A BIRD !!!!!!!!!!

Growing up I was the oldest of three. At the time I had a sister and a brother. Later in my life Mom and Dad had two other girls. Both my older sister, Janice and brother Frank are no longer in this life. Cancer took Janice at age 46  and Frank died of a heart attack at age 56. It seems like the longer they have departed from this life I find myself looking back on those happy days when we were all together.
Another funny story on Frank. Located about a block from where we lived was a vacant corner lot owed by Mr and Mrs Ward next to their home. The Wards let the kids in the neighborhood use the lot to play. The lot was a lot bigger in my younger days but doesn't look all that big today. It still remains a vacant lot. We played what ever sport that was in season. We also flew our kites from the lot. 
Dad and I were sitting out on the front porch one afternoon while Frank was playing football at the lot with kids his age. The smallest kid in Frank's age group was one Butch Weaver. He was small in stature but was a tough kid. We began to notice Frank as he walked up to the front of the house holding one of his eyes. " Son what's wrong with you eye, Dad asked" " Butch hit me in the eye." Why did he hit you in the eye Dad asked??" I think it was because I threw him a bird replied Frank. "Son you are a lot bigger that Butch, you go back down there and whip his butt." Boy, Dad has Frank all fired up and he is off to take care of Butch. A little while later we see Frank coming back up the sidewalk. He's holding his other eye, little Butch had black eye number two. LOL!!! We could see the moral to this happening, DON'T MESS WITH BUTCH.  

BOXING..............

The photo below is my late brother, Frank and his 1940 Ford Coupe Street Rod. Frank passed away several years ago with a heart attack at age 56, way to young. We were always close and lived only 30 miles away from each other until he and his family moved to South Carolina with a job promotion. We kept in touch, we visited him several times and he did like wise. I have many funny stories on Frank and I will share one of my favorites.
When we all were still living at home we went on a vacation to North Carolina to visit my mother's brother and his family. Uncle R.L. was an instructor in the Marines at Cherry Point, North Carolina. Frank was about 9 years old at the time. After a long trip we finally arrived at Cherry Point and got to stay with my aunt and uncle in a big housing complex for military personal. The next morning Frank and I get out to see whats happening in the complex. We find some kids about Franks age boxing . Hey, Frank I bet you can whip anyone of those boys, I have him all hyped up to box. Who's next one of the boys ask. I put the gloves on Frank and he begins to box the boy, man Frank is whipping his butt. Time out cries the boy, I have to use the bathroom as he disappears around the back of the building. Several minutes later he's back and the boxing continues. Frank is still winning the match, time out again the boy calls, I have to get a drink of water and disappears around the side of the building again. Back soon and they begin boxing, old Frank is getting tired and the boy begins to whip poor old Franks butt. We just can't understand how Frank is now losing after being so good for a long time. Franks is exhausted and says, I'm done. All the other kids watching are now laughing as another boy comes from around the building, it's an identical twin. Yes, Frank had been fighting two of them!!! This always brings a smile to my face, these are the good times I remember about my BROTHER.
