Solo ride didn't touch anyone , anyone didn't touch me. This bike has had Cobra 6X6 on it since I've owned it. Had a header blow out / rot . I've had these stock exhaust hangin' in the garage forever piggies cut and their eyes drilled out. Pretty cool sound much quieter now than the Cobra's I'm liking it. My first picture with the truck stacks.  These Chinese Cootie's are shutting everything down even the state parks   Lots of folks out walking the trails at Norris Dam I didn't get near any of them.  |

Nothing like knees in the breeze Good for you ! Lean into a few corners for ole Oss Probably will never know if the wife and I both had the chinese cooties (CCP virus) until they come up with an antibody test so we can donate blood or whatever to help other people recover since we were turned down for the test. In NY unless you live in New Rochelle (no thank you) unless you are in the hospital on death door no test for you, just go home |

Also, due to a stupid Cuomo rule, until you get a positive result, you can't be dispensed hyroxychloroquine even though you've seen a medical Dr. and they sent the prescription to the pharmacy electronically. Patients are losing up to 4 days of treatment while awaiting results. The 4 worst days of the infections course. I think I heard that this rule is supposed to be revisited. Putz.

for a second there was worried judging by the caption did not want to open it  WI just announced all state parks (or at least all around us) are closed for good. Why? I heard people are NOT practicing social distancing and throwing trash all over but the one state park nearby us we enjoy hardly anyone ever goes to just a few is all and not many around ever. Why close all state parks and not just fine the idiots who litter? In a few weeks me and the misses were talking of going to get our fishing licenses for the year and do some fishing on 3 nearby state park lakes just to get outta the house for a change and do something fun. It seems the state of WI are following the loonies putting these restrictions in place, monkey see monkey do I guess? |

Loonies? Do you actually watch the news? Do you see all the folks dying being loaded onto tractor trailers with fork lifts? The Loonies are trying to keep people away from each other to try and slow this thing down. But the Human race is too stupid to listen I guess. Just drive by a Home Depot or Lowes more cars in the parking lot than on any normal day and this is with a shelter in place order. It may not be bad in your small slice of earth but it wasnt bad in new york or New Orleans not that long ago. So listen  |

It may not be bad in your small slice of earth but it wasnt bad in new york or New Orleans not that long ago. So listen I guess it varies from area to area, but see no reason why all WI state parks have to be closed until further notice. I visit 3 state parks often 2 of them have fishing lakes and NO ONE EVER using them and if some there, only 2-3 cars in parking lot with plenty of open space, especially to fish in a boat at most see 2-3 boats in any one of those lakes not like there is not plenty of the lake to not be within say 100 yards from each others boat. l guess just do not touch the docks when loading the boat is only way I can think of catching the virus? I guess it could happen??? As far as home depot, lowes, menards, etc. there is hardly anyone in my area going to any stores including grocery stores those probably more so than anywhere else people needing to eat. One thing I have noticed is the local bicycle trails in my small town are filling up with people walking and biking and jogging see 5-6 cars in parking lots vs. all summer long only 1-3 cars so people are going there more so to get outta the house even in April already being much colder/softer ground/rainier. |

Holy cow... we have no power because of the tornado (no damage though).
The phone still works, so yesterday I used the inverter on the chainsaw
battery to run the DSL and wifi. Today DSL doesn't seem to work. So I
told my iphone to be a hotspot and hooked it to my computer with a
USB cable. ZOOM! fast internet!

Hey Joe,
I followed your advice... Yep, I took mine out and played with it the other day, and... it was sure good to feel that good again!!! Are you and Reb still figuring on riding down to Hattiesburg this weekend? Judging from the reports and drama on TWC, it occurred to Rams and me that you just might be working then after all...

Alabama: Under the direction of Gov. Kay Ivey, the state health officer has ordered people to stay in their residences. Exceptions include leaving to obtain essential supplies or services, such as food or emergency medical care, or for essential work. Retailers such as grocery stores, bookstores, gun stores and office supply stores must limit occupancy. Nightclubs, theaters, casinos, gyms and hair salons are among businesses that must close. Restaurants, bars and breweries are limited to takeout or delivery. All public and private beaches remain closed. Outdoor activities of fewer than 10 people are permitted if people can maintain a 6-foot distance from one another. The same rule applies to weddings, funerals and worship services. The order lasts through 5 p.m. April 30.
• Mississippi: Gov. Tate Reeves issued a shelter-in-place order to last until 8 a.m. April 20. Exceptions include leaving to perform tasks necessary for health and safety, such as getting food. Nonessential businesses can only remain open to perform minimal operations, which includes remote work. Essential businesses can remain open. Reeves limited restaurants and bars to drive-through, curbside or delivery services. He closed parks, beaches and playgrounds but not walking trails.

The ride to Mississippi is off the tornadoes that hit Chattanooga changed all that for me. They claim cool with rain over the weekend so it doesn't hurt as bad knowing that. |
