Sitting home (finally) in my undies looking at bikes on the WWW.
Found a Fatbob with ape hangers for about 10k and I thinks I am gonna pull the trigger (maybe visit colonel and the Parrot heads).
Postscript is I have had lots of fun but thinks I am gonna lay low for awhile
Wishing all of you the best and will follow up on occasion but my passions are out of control so I must drift away..
In closing I submit one of my personal favs from Khalil...

And a man said, "Speak to us of Self-Knowledge."
And he answered, saying:
Your hearts know in silence the secrets of the days and the nights.
But your ears thirst for the sound of your heart's knowledge.
You would know in words that which you have always know in thought.
You would touch with your fingers the naked body of your dreams.
And it is well you should.
The hidden well-spring of your soul must needs rise and run murmuring to the sea;
And the treasure of your infinite depths would be revealed to your eyes.
But let there be no scales to weigh your unknown treasure;
And seek not the depths of your knowledge with staff or sounding line.
For self is a sea boundless and measureless.
Say not, "I have found the truth," but rather, "I have found a truth."
Say not, "I have found the path of the soul." Say rather, "I have met the soul walking upon my path."
For the soul walks upon all paths.
The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed.
The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.

Me gone petaling
Regards
Mike

Don't let your passions consume you too much, there, Goodtude. Does this mean you're done with expediting, or that you're just taking a break? Either way, have fun with your fatbob (whatever that is)

Nevermind... I googled it. How are you gonna carry two skids on that thing? Is that what the ape hangers are for? How can you afford it? You mean to tell me you made enough money in expediting to be able to buy that? I bow to your extravigance, sir!

Thanks Larry
Last night I spoke with my son in NM and I didn't like what I heard...
I awoke this morning with an epiphany
Leave the descendants with a legacy of debt and a picture of a guy that died with his boots on and a big smile on his face...
John O has been an inspiration and after a week of serious reflection I have decided to resign myself to a life of camera gear, leather saddles and ramen noodles..
I can't do it today but at least I have something to aspire to and I assure you it will be soon..
In the meantime someone cares about being a truck driver, I just don't happen to be the one.
Sooo for those people God Speed live, love and be prosperous..
Mike
BTW Colonel if you see a wayward type in Parrot-ville throw a conch fritter his way..

Dikwad, stop in anytime (please make it a point) have some salt in my jigger yet, and i'll make sure it's full when you arive. Plenty of photo ops here, he'n n he'n, she'n n she'n, and lots of other foolishness. Pickled parrot heads galore, and sun lotsa sun. Fish'in, crab'in, shrimp'in

Ya gotta spend the kids inheritance to make em appreciate you. Good plan.

Unlike many, seems you have hit it hard enough and smart enough to be able to do this. Seems it has to be your life for a time, before you can have a life.

Best of Luck to you Mike. I hope you continue to share your great pictures with those of us that live in "rolling boxes"

Wish we could go with your!

Best to you Mike check in from time to time and when you are passing through give me a call. We have a Parrot Head chapter here and they have monthly drinking (opps I meant meetings) that are a lot of fun. We used to be members but dropped out several years ago.
