Glad you had a good summer. Had fun and no animals were harmed in making this documentary. What about this work thing? Seems like I was there once but can't remember where it was.

Ernie, I looked for you when I went through WV!

I can't honestly say that no animals were harmed in making this documentary. I yell curse words at every deer I see and probably hurt quite a few of their feelings. And squirrels just can't help themselves. I was going down a gravel/dirt road, god knows where, so I wasn't doing the speed of light. Just trucking along. There's a squirrel in the middle of the road, doing that thing they do in the middle of the road. Left! No Right! No Left! I hate those things. I never veered, never slowed. The stupid thing had plenty of time to see me. When I got by where it was, I looked in the mirror and didn't see it. Ok, got away. A couple of seconds later, there it is in the road, flat as a pancake, tail waving like a flag. Good riddance. Darwinism. Too stupid to live.

So some animals might actually have been harmed. lol (Certainly not any animals at Bob Penn's compound. Those animals are treated very well. Very well.)

STOP IT. You can't admit that stuff. Mine is still convinced I can kick his.azz. I'm not but he is. Hide behind the door with the bat. I can still outshoot Trevor with a handgun. He cleans my clock at Skeet. I don't shoot a shotgun much anymore. He started besting me at skeet when he was 14. I haven't shot targets much with the handgun in the last year either. I've shot a few groundhogs with 45's behind the house. I need to practice up. I know what you mean. You bring them up right and all of a sudden they are better than you. Kinda makes you proud though.

I don't put things away where I know I will remember them. If I do that its usually a two day search to find where I put them. I made it to 67 but the memory is getting pretty ineffective.

Lloyd, I was just talking about you to the new physics teacher across the hall (someone needs to warn him about me). It's so fun to show off the cool roads around here. And it was so fun visiting everyone around the US and getting to see y'all's cool roads.

By the time you hit the fifth or sixth summer you will have run out of places to see and you will have to put the girl on a boat and head for Europe. 16000 miles in 43 day my butt is aching just thinking about that many miles in such a short period of time..... These old bones ain't going to make it. Glad someone has the intestinal fortitude for such adventure. Onward thru the fog, and Teach them little ones how to ride a motorcycle while your teaching them the other stuff.:clap2::clap2::clap2:

BobPenn, I hope you know staying in the Poconos, seeing your petting zoo, and riding with y'all was one of the highlights of my trip. Thank you again for your hospitality. (Even though the only time I thought I was going to have to reach for my piece THE ENTIRE 16000 MILES was when you and the NJ minivan got into it at the Delaware Water Gap. Honestly thought we were going to have to fight our way out of there!)

I don't know why you were nervous. That Jersey guy was drunk or high doing 20 miles an hour on a section of road that should have been one of the highlight of that ride. He purposely pulled out in front of us forcing me to burn some centimeters of my brake pads off and you know how frugal I am especially when it comes to brake pads. Besides Jerseyites are not allowed to have guns.

Sorry you didn't get a chance to pet the babies. Maybe next time if you promise not to hurt them. Here's pictures of my cousins and MA Ma. 2251822519

In the mean time I'll keep humming along. 22520

He also forced you to dump the throttle to get around him. Lol. Burning some centimeters off your tires.

It's a quiet rainy Sunday morning here and your just trying to make me cuss at him again aren't you! You bad preacher's daughter you!!!!
Dumping the throttle makes me happy, Dumping the throttle makes me happy, Dumping the throttle makes me happy, Dumping the throttle makes me happy! There I feel better now.

Spain is a lovely country for walking. Be careful where you step over there they use a lot of livestock for transportation and if you think you hate animals now wait until your first miss-step.

Those damn deer though....

That explains the brown foot prints on the deck and the smelly feet, but after all the deer just want to be loved!

When you claim to have horse manure between your toes and on you feet your obviously going to leave tracks where you walk, and maybe contrary to a good ole boys opinion, manure just doesn't smell real good to us NE mountain folks. That should be simple enough.

Like a TV remote puts you in control of your TV, your throttle puts you in control of your bike. If something appears on your TV screen that you don't want the family to see it's up to you, as the controller, to speedily avoid that channel not blame the content.
Just yesterday a lady up here went off the road and hit a tree. Yep, she blamed the tree. Quite similar to blaming a very near sighted animal living by instincts for an accident actually caused by the supposed thinking controller who believes the world belongs to only them.

Sorry if I write in pro's that you don't speak. Let's blame them damn NE schools not my limited alcohol tolerance.
