WOW what a year...I have been peeking in here when I can and continue to be impressed with all my Valkyrie family does for those they know as well as for those they do not know....Cheers to the greatest group of people I have ever been associated with.
As for me Candy Girl and I married on Feb. 20th, complete with a bluegrass band and moonshine. Has been nothing short of AMAZING so far . Takes a H>LL of a woman to put up with me .
I had made a huge jump in Nov. last year and bought the "Matco" tool franchise for my area...and that adventure has surpassed my distric managers or my own wildest dreams, I have been blessed to be able to stay in the top 150 distb. in the nation for the year .Now we will see what my tax man has about it all ??
My oldest son is still doing well with the consession bussiness and will leave soon to start his year in Dade co. Fl.
My youngest son is kicking butt in his 3rd year of grad school for philosophy at USC.
Twin Kelli is doing really well in her 3rd year at WVU double majoring in Public Realations and Marketing.....still keeping a 3.89 gpa
Twin Amanda is heading up the dance troops at Concord Univ. while working on her 3rd year towards a phd in math and maintaining a 4.00 gpa.
The Grand daughter Claire Jane "CJ" turned 4 two weeks ago and continues to remind us all that when she is around we do it CJ's way

Valk related the Valk made a jaunt to the outer banks in April and one to myrtle beach in oct. We got to ride several weekend rides. Just wish they had been able to time in with Smoking Joe , Highbinder and the gang.
Hoping to hook up with Charliemac,Normandog,3fan,and the rest to share some wind this year. OH yea ...Candy Girl was extra nice this year so Santa brought her some Gerbin goodies to keep her all cozy on our less that perfect riding days.
Anyway here's wishing each and everone of you a HAPPY NEW YEAR .and may you stay safe and healthy
