We found out one of our buddies at work has lung cancer. He was originally told about 2 weeks ago...they said he had about 5 years to live. Naturally he wanted a second opinion, so he went to Cancer Treatment Center of America, hoping for better news....instead they say he has about 9 months to a year left....man, what a shocker....they agreed to administer chemo and radiation, on the off chance that it would extend his life expectancy...anyway, he is a Harley rider, as are the majority of guys at work. They organized a ride for tomorrow, with him as the leader. It will be a short one, about 120 miles round trip, but it's the reason we're going, not how far we're going. Most of us realize it may be the last time we can all ride together, since he is already on short term disability from work and will not return to his job. I am designated "camera man" and will be taking tons of pics....when I get them all loaded onto the PC I'll post a couple here....for those that pray please do so for our bud....
