I really intended to stop procrastinating on New Year's Day, but I didn't get around to it.

Anyone else going to join me in some really good Groundhog Day resolutions?

If you wait and make your resolutions in July you don't have to worry about struggling so long tokeep them.

That’s a neat picture willow, shaking hands with a guy riding a Yamaha royal star.   Grin

I don't make resolutions, I’m prone to failure, it is what I succeed at.

I'm getting slow in my old age...took about 5 minutes to realize the meaning on 1680 x 1050 or should I say...the context of "resolution"!

Thanks Jim. I still did not realize what it meant .  Undecided  OLD AGE ??? You are still a "PUP"  The older I get the younger the 50`s are.  Wink

I LOVE the picture. You should have that one blown up and displayed.

As for resolutions, I don't believe in them too much. I do think it's a good time/deadline/a good place to start to make changes or begin some new things. If you succeed in them that's awesome, if not you have still at least started something you weren't doing before.

Take care my friend,
Carolyn

I LOVE the picture. Carolyn

The message of that picture is just because you know someone doesn't mean you can trust him.

Raymond likes to ride up alongside, set his throttle lock, and reach out his fist.  Normally we would just bump fists, but this time he thought might scare me a bit.  I wasn't sure I was going to keep the bike in the right lane.   Grin 

It was Texas in April.  Our first ride together (and my first long ride) after my sabbatical.

I also like the picture.

Alph,
Were you looking at the same picture as I was? I saw two Valk riders, one on an I/S and the other on a standard.  Lips Sealed
I may be going blind in my old age or maybe I skipped some picture, but I have not seen a Royal Star on this thread. Wink
But please correct me if I'm wrong. Grin

Ride
Eat
Meet
Sleep
Repeat

That should take care of the important stuff. cooldude

I promised myself not to pull Willows finger this year. No matter how many times he rides up beside and begs, PULL MY FINGER PULL MY FINGER PULL MY FINGER PULL MY FINGER PULL MY FINGER, I ain't gonna do it.

No other resolutions this year. I'm still holding true with my 2008 resolution, I'm going to the gym pretty close to 5 days a week.

I am not making any this year.  Im a little afraid of the year ahead and a little exited also.  I am finally to the point of listening to the docs and have applied for full disability.  A freind and I were talking about it  the other day.  He told me the first year is scary then you wonder why you didn't do it sooner.  Enjoy life now,  It has an expiration date.
Never really thought about like that, but you know, he has a point.

Willow,

oops, my bad.  Embarrassed I couldn't really tell, but thought the picture was of you and Lori.  Now I understand her statement about the photographer.

Man, I can't wait for our Michigan winter to be behind us so we can ride. I know, it's pretty much just began for us.  I've got to love it though. Corey, our son, runs a plow truck as a part time job. So, when it snows I thank the good Lord for the opportunity he gets for the work. Talked to him not too long ago and he'd been in a truck since around 1:00 AM ET.

Have a great day!
Carolyn

So Pat's wife are you saying I look like a girl or Lori looks like a boy? Either way we will pay you back someday somehow.
