Phil, Off topic but how are you guys making out after the flood, etc.?

Workinrvers · RV-Dreams Family Member

Doing good, thanks for asking. We found a 2011 Ultra Limited on Craigslist that interested us but was priced kinda high. I contacted the guy and turns out he had worked with my brother at the fire dept for over 25 years. He bought the bike new but only put 2500 miles on it, admitted it scared him. He made us a deal we couldn't pass up, basically sold it to us for the trade in value. He threw in a brand new Harley leather coat, a trickle charger and a craftsman motorcycle lift.
We also bought another cargo trailer and I fixed it up the same as the flooded one so we were good to go there too.

Rudee had her partial mastectomy earlier this month and finished her radiation last Friday. Everything indicates she is now cancer free but we will be doing extra tests in a few months to make sure nothing is returning.

We are now back on the road and have landed (yesterday) in the Black Hills of South Dakota where we will spend the next several months work camping at the Crazy Horse Memorial. We start work next Wednesday, if you guys pass by this way, please look us up. We are staying in the Heritage Village Campground just south of the carving on 16.

Phil,

Other than a scooter from Sears when I was a teenage, I have only had one motorcycle. While I was in the Army and stationed in California, we were going to have to bring Jo back to the Panhandle of Oklahoma so she could start her last year of high school. (I robbed the cradle.) So that I would still have transportation for the last 3 to 6 months of my service, we bought a 1969 Honda 350 that was a street bike but had higher exhaust pipes.

I loved riding that bike in California because of all the hills and curves, but back in the Oklahoma Panhandle, the roads are pretty much flat and straight. Since I wasn't riding it much, it only made sense to sell it to someone who would ride it a lot more.

Now, I'd rather put my money into camera equipment and other things.

Glad to hear things worked out and even more so with Rudee's prognosis. We will continue to keep you guys in our prayers. Enjoy SD, the Crazy Horse area is gorgeous country.

There's almost nothing better than wind therapy!! (please note I said "almost")

I ride an '07 Street Bob.....love it!

Will pray that cancer now leaves y'all alone and at peace. Live free and ride safe!

Howdy Miss G,

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. We took our first "post surgery" ride together yesterday and you are so right! That wind therapy did us both a lot if good!
