Happy Fathers Day
« on: June 19, 2011, 11:36:53 AM »
Here in the USofA, it's Fathers Day...

The day when all fathers get to take it easy, be pampered and showered with gifts. Yeah, right. [smiley=3stooges.gif]

Here's to us [smiley=thumbup.gif] The Dads and to our fathers and grandfathers, without whose help, we wouldn't be here.

I'm going for an R65 ride and I don't care how freakin' hot it is in Texas. Join me, brothers.

Thanks Monte, right back at you.  Hope your ride is as nice as mine was this morning with my oldest daughter Leigha.  Soledad Mountain Cross War Memorial, La Jolla, Torrey Pines and Del Mar.  The weather was absolutely perfect.  Hope all you dads get a chance to kick back, and enjoy the day as I have so far.  Now it's time to get the 650 out.  Life is good.

Thanks!

My family conspired while I was away on a trip this week and planted a small fridge in my man cave and filled it with Heinekan cans and San-Pellegrino-Limonata.  (joy)

I count my blessings everyday.

(waiting for beers to cool)   :D

Just back from spending the afternoon with my dad, and my kids with me.
78, lost a kidney to cancer a few years back, but as healthy as can be and probably in better shape than I am!





Love you Pop, and hope you live forever! [smiley=beer.gif]
