Or the 48" of ice Mille Lacs would have on it.

I finally figured out how to set the date on my camera
about 2 months ago.
I've owned it for a few years.

Well, all is going well here. Momma is doing much better today, had several breakdowns yesterday. I can't even imagine the pain and grief she is experiencing but she is surrounded by loving family so that helps a lot. I know that the next few weeks will be extremely difficult and hopefully she can come and stay with Oksana and I soon. I just can't see her staying in this big house alone for a while. My sister lives just down the street but she still works all day. I worry for her is all.

So far I have been appointed the guardian watch dog over the door and phone. Try to put on badazz biker face and tone to keep an abundance of well wishers at bay. My father was a very public figure most of his life so he is well know in many countries. Have folks coming from Europe, China, Phillippines and all over the U.S.

Thanks again guys for all your support and thoughts. They will always be remembered and appreciated! Hope to ride with y'all soon!

Vinnie

Found these today, this is the bike my dad plopped my butt on when I was 5 years old. These were all taken in the Phillipines around 1967 to 1975.

Do you remember what the bike was?

It looks a lot like a Honda trail 50.

I am fairly certain that it was a Honda 90. I have other pics of bikes my dad bought for pastors out in the woods and they are all 90's.

That shot is priceless, Vinnie. It's fantastic that you found them. I'd be framing that. Big.

Still would like to do this run. What ideas do y'all have as far as dates? I pretty much wide open with my lax calendar.

LOL. I'd be open about any weekend as well.

Rick, not sure I can swing a camping trip. Money's not there and I still have to buy some cold weather gear.
