Case in Point.
I was a little miffed by Willow's 'who's the oldest' post yesterday. I'm no longer eligible for the possibly oldest Valk rider, and it's true, I now ride the Nighthawk.. Somehow, I adopted a sh---y attitude about this yesterday.
And Then, last night, out of the blue, my sons Mad6Gun (Mark) and Psychotic Bovine (Chris) presented me with this wonderful model from Danbury Mint. It's a 1949 Olds Rocket 88. They both knew that I have a fond memory of that car. My wife and I drove down to the Smokies on our honeymoon in that car. Now the wife is gone and the car is long gone but this beautiful scale model of that car will remind me of good times and the wonderful life that I've had.
Four wonderful kids, 46 years of good married life, a good job, a good retirement, and then a cap on it all, presentation to me by the city of New Haven, Indiana, Indiana's highest civilian award "The Sagamore Of The Wabash" signed by the governor of the state of Indiana.
I have no reason to complain. I'm still here, still have my kids,and still can ride albeit with a little less smoothness.
I'm back on track.
