Comments:

The wife and I travelled on vacations to as many places as we could in the States before we had kids. Asst. Coached PeeWee Football when my son started playing and won city championship in Rock Hill, SC. Then coached Little League baseball, 8yr to 15 year ages. That was always fun. Down here we can play almost all year. Missed it when Jacob started playing in High School. For the most part I have just cruised. I have good health and am content.
I just bought a new 2010 Triumph Thunderbird August 26. Figured I pay my taxes and go to work every day and that I deserved a bone. Have always owned Triumphs(still have my 1977 Bonneville) and really did not want to be another Harley person. Maybe one day. Almost have it broke in and will hit the mts. in N.C. around Asheville very soon. Tanya and I just got back from Co. We rented a Harley and rode the Rockies with my brother and his wife.
