Living in reasonably good health at 88 years of age.

Surviving a great stress in my life, the death of my wife of 46 years.

Having wonderful memories of Phyllis

Having wonderful memories of all of my life.

The raising of four wonderful kids.  

The feeling of accomplishment in knowing that, along with my wife, we provided the monetary, advice, and discipline to raise children in the right way.

Knowing that all of my kids get along and are productive workers.

The happiness in knowing that I still count for something in their eyes.

The joys and memories of my riding days

The satisfaction in knowing that I have made friends in the riding world.

The calm reassurance in knowing that I've contributed my share to society as a worker, a veteran, a former councilman, a former association head, many positions in civic and government , and in my church.

The satisfaction in learning that money and power isn't everything (although it helps somewhat, so I've heard  Smiley)

And, last of all, the never ending striving to maintain a positive attitude in today's times.

Thanks to God, and to all of my friends.

Wayne, solo1

  Good on you Wayne.
  I was told if you do not get all that you want , think of the things you do not get that you do not want.
  Thank you for all of your accomplishments , and a pleasure knowing you.

Just when the highway straightened out for a mile
And I was thinkin' I'd just cruise for a while
A fork in the road brought a new episode
Don't you know...

Conform, go crazy, or ride a motorcycle...

A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. What you say flows from what is in your heart.
 You are truly blessed and are a blessing.

I understand and agree with everything you said, what I don't understand is how in the world could anyone in their right mind consider someone like you Deplorable.  God bless
