One of my cousins owns Sky River Mead (mead is an old English beverage, brewed with honey). She's a good soul, and is in a ratings contest connected with our local NBC affilliate for a "best of" sort of thing. From what I've been able to tell so far... it's NOT a spam generator either. If you'd be so kind, please stop on by and cast a vote for "Sky River Mead" winery. Don't know if it's sold in your area yet... but the "dry" is really good. I'm told they're doing a raspberry mead too, but, haven't found it yet. Mucho appreciated. http://best.king5.com/sky-river-mead/biz/504921 |

Grassy Ass Ameeegos... appreciate it, I'll forward her the thread to view later. A reply here would be appreciated. Their stats tracking feature isn't the best (poll's web site). BTW.... here's the link for the poll's stats... she just finally made #5 on the list and is leading the trend climb within the last 24hrs. A big push from here could help her out a bunch. http://best.king5.com/contests/best-of-western-washington/4779/arts-and-entertainment/winery#Momz... thanks... how many Valks in the stable now?  Kendall... thanks for asking... doin' ok. Haven't been riding like I used to, but got out on the bike Friday for a short putt. Doin' the job-hunt thing too. How's life in your neck of the woods? Keepin' that purdy, white I/S clean and wheels spinnin'? |

Thanks MichaelK !! Been a while since I made it to Laughlin... you gone lately? You still ridin' the red/white?
Kendall... no road trips for me for a spell (past/future). Life's kinda muddled along with other paths and such. Glad to hear you've added to the stable. You should post more pix of that White I/S though. Ya done good with that one.
I see Oss contributed to the cause, much appreciated there Kemosabe ! You avoidin' those NYC potholes effectively? Didn't you tear up a shock on one of those a while back?

Robin.... LOL It has been a while since we did a horse trade, we should probably wait 'til closer to Christmas time though... that's when the winter ales hit. One of 'em's hard to find, very limited run of it... but, ohhhhh so good !
Dag... thanks much for the votes from across the puddle ! Hope the gatherings for your group are just as big as before, and bigger ! Always enjoyed viewin' the video clips you posted up of the fun. And... (BTW)... the owner of Sky River Mead has a good flow of blood from Norway in her (on her mother's side of the family). She'll be pleased to hear of votes from you.

Popeye... thank you for taking the time to cast a vote, much appreciated. I also see that "Valkyrie Dann" also cast a vote too, thank you. I'm suspecting that "Kmhirte" may be from here too... thank you. You're all going to be giving a very nice bounce to her step when she sees the help she's getting... again, thank you, and keep those new votes coming ! |

Thankee Dave !!! I just saw the update to the stats page and saw your name, much appreciated. LOL It has been a long time, hasn't it? We shall swap lies again in another parking lot party somewhere along the trail.
Britman... I knew I could count on you to cast a vote for Mead !!! It really is a good rendition too. Thanks for the help. This morning, she wasn't even listed within the top five... she's gone all the way through 5th place and is now residing in 4th place. I think she'll fall off her stool when she logs on and sees the results of all your support.

Me too! Yer stuffyness... I thank yaz. Didja git that hitch figured out and squared away? I lost track of how that was panning out for ya. Naw, couldn't get the right saddlebag to clear the bag guard rail. It was right around the reflector area, left side had at least 3/8" clearance but couldn't get any space at all on the right side. Finally quit fooling with it and sold it. I have a long standing motto: if something is irritating me and after trying to overcome numerous times and failing....I get rid of the source of irritation. That's what I did with the hitch, never looked back. Come to think of it, sure hope my wife doesn't have that same motto.  |

John !!! Good to see you're alive and kickin' !!! Thanks, I stop in from time to time to see what's happening. Not riding like I used to, but I still run a few gallons through the petcock. How's life on your end of the block? Thank you for taking the time to help out with the votes. You guys have helped to propel her to #2 overall. That's huge ! She's up against 89 other labels... and is definately "the Honda amongst Harleys" being that Mead is a brewed, Honey based beverage and she's competing against traditional grape wines, including one of the biggest names in our area ("Chateau Ste. Michelle"). |
