Today I feel grateful and blessed
This is my 87th birthday (AND I'm still around.)
Some of my hair is still in place.
I've only gained 4 pounds since I retired in 1991.
My body is working reasonably well.
My knees have somewhat recovered from being obstinate.
My kids are all ok and my three daughter-in-laws and one son-in-law are great.
I'm still riding ,just not as much or as far but that's ok too.
All of my wheels are paid for, no debts.
I'm still active in the New Haven Board of Works and also Board of Elders in my church.
I still hobby in photography and the shooting sports.
I'm not rich but have enough to keep me happy.
Hopefully, I have made many friends, many on this board.
Overall, it's not a bad Life. If the weather warms up today., I will be doing a birthday ride with my friend, the Vstrom..
I wish all my friends here the same.
Wayne, solo1

Wayne-I count you amongst my friends. The problem being we don't get to break bread nor ride together enough. I agree with the ones that have stated-what ever yer doin keep doin it.  Happy 87th my Hoosier friend. Ross da prez is traveling today and he asked me to say Happy Birthday from him and Bonnie. Said when they git to the motel he'll get on line. Again-happy 87th and may you have many more Wayne. RIDE SAFE. |

Happy Birthday, Wayne.
Keep riding as long as you can. I keep telling my wife that 'I' think it is one of the things that keep me going. I plan on making Inzane again this year and riding my 2000 Interstate. But, I am only working on my 74th birthday this year.

Well Wayne, it's good to hear another candle has been added to the cake. Remember, the more b'days you have, the longer you live. You now have 10 years on me, I'm hoping to reach that milestone one day myself and still be active. Continue on the same path you've been following, it appears to be working quite well. Maybe one day, we can again sit and sip like we did in Michigan, solving the problems of the world. Be well my friend. John |
