Happy Saturday Nevada! Great news on getting your new bike Donna. You going to sell one to make room for it, or just increase the herd?

Good Day!

I guess I should get ready for my dentist appt. Yes, on a Saturday!
Absolute Dental on Topsy Ln. in Carson City is now open on Saturdays.
Afterward Jimmy & I are going to get my new bike. I'm so excited!
Be careful and enjoy that new scooter. Careful not to get any bugs in your "freshly cleaned grill".LOL

Life is good, although we are attending a funeral this afternoon.

Hope you made good use of your day off yesterday.

It's a like new condition 2009 Yamaha VStar 650 Classic with 23,400 miles on it...$2000.

I will say one thing...I love the bike, but talk about night & day difference between a crotch rocket & a cruiser. It feels weird having my feet infront of me or inline with my knees, instead of inline with my hips. It's going to take some getting used too. I love it though!

Looks like a Japanese Harley. I was think another crotch rocket when I first heard you say you were getting another bike. Looks great though.

Went to a truck club meet today to see what it was all about, about 30 trucks showed, mostly 78-79. Some guys came up from Arizona and SoCal.


A few of my favorites


This one is pretty much all original and clean as it gets

Nice bike Donna. Nice looking trucks. 78-79 are my favorite years. This was Arm Forces Weekend in Hawthorne. We took in the parade & I have to say this was the best Arm Forces Weekend Hawthorne has done in years. Much more focus on family & retirees. Rather than a loud, rowdy, drunk as in so many past years. Thanks to Lyon County School District for allowing Fernley's, Yerington's, & Dayton's High School marching bands, along with Fernley's Middle school marching band to be a part of the parade. I understand the Fernely High school Band has received many awards. They all were great.

Next weekend is Jim Butler Days in Tonopah. Also Mule Days in Bishop CA. Both fun events. Have gone many years to both.
