Just Checking In and Remembering

 It's been awhile since I've posted here.  I'm on Blogger every day reading those on the left side's blogs.  Y'all should too.  There are some great writhers and funny stuff over there.

I was curious of when I started blogging, so I scrolled back t to the beginning and it shocked me to see that that I stared back in 2006.  It seems at times longer and then like it was yesterday.  I read a few of my earlier post and the did bring back memories... of old blogging friends now gone one way or another; a different time in life that was, it seems now, easier and simple - though it wasn't.

I will be surprised if anyone even reads THIS post.

Oh well.  I guess I'll go back to Facebook... as soon as I get out  of FB Jail for posting my feelings and the truth.

Maybe I'll be back one day...

Harley Davidson's Declining Sales

Harley Davidson Speaks Out About Declining Bike Sales

The slump in sales at H-D are not President Trump's fault. 

The Baby Boomers all have motorcycles, Generation X is only buying a few, and the Millennials aren’t buying any at all. 

A recent study was done to find out why Millennials don't ride motorcycles:

1. Pants won't pull up far enough for them to straddle the seat.

2. Can't get their phone to their ear with a helmet on.

3. Can't use two hands to eat while driving.

4. Don't get a trophy and a recognition plaque just for buying one.

5. Don't have enough muscle to hold the bike up when stopped.

6. Might have a bug hit them in the face and then they would need emergency care.

7. Motorcycles don't have air conditioning.

8. Can't afford one because they spent 6 years in college trying to get a degree in Humanities, Social Studies or Gender Studies, for which no jobs are available.

9. Allergic to fresh air.

10. Pajamas get caught on the exhaust pipes.

11. Might get their hands dirty checking the oil.

12. Handlebars have buttons and levers, and can’t be controlled by touch-screen.

13. Have to shift manually, and use something called a clutch.

14. Too dangerous to take selfies while riding.

15. Don't come with training wheels like their bicycles did.

16. Don't have power steering or power brakes.

17. Nose ring interferes with the face shield.

18. Would have to use leg muscle to back up.

19. When stopped, a light breeze might blow exhaust in their face.

20. Could rain on them and expose them to non-soft water.

21. Might scare their emotional support dog, then the dog would need therapy.

22. Can't get the motorcycle down the basement stairs of their parent's home. 

Memorial Day 2019

Marietta National Cemetery, Marietta, GA

Thank you for your service and sacrifice, fellow veterans.  

Rest In Peace, we who are left now have the watch.

For Newcomers To Georgia

You newcomers to Georgia, here are some things you need to know if you plan to stay here.

1. Save all bacon grease. You will be instructed later how to use it.
2. If you do run your car into a ditch, don't panic. Four men in the cab of a four wheel drive with a 12-pack of beer and a tow chain will be along shortly. Don't try to help them. Just stay out of their way.  This is what they live for.
3. Remember: "Y'all" is singular.  "All y'all" is plural. "All y'all's" is plural possessive.
4. Get used to the phrase "It's not the heat, it's the humidity".  And the collateral phrase "You call this hot? Wait'll August."
5. Don't tell us how you did it up there. Nobody cares.
6. If you think it's too hot, don't worry. It'll cool down-in December.
7. A Mercedes-Benz is not a status symbol, a Jeep, Chevy, Dodge, or Ford is.
8. If someone says they're "fixin" to do something, that doesn't mean anything's broken.
9. The value of a parking space is not determined by the distance to the door, but the availability of shade.
10. If you see a slower moving vehicle on a two lane road pull onto the shoulder that is called "courtesy".
11. BBQ is a food group. It does NOT mean grilling burgers and hot dogs outdoors.
12. Yes, weddings, funerals, and divorces must take into account for Ga.Tech, UGA or Navy Football games. 
13. Everything is better with 1000 Island or ranch dressing.
14. DO NOT honk your horn at us to be obnoxious, we will sit there until we die.
15. We pull over and stop for emergency vehicles to pass. 
16. We pull over for funeral processions, turn our music off and men remove hats or caps. Some people put their hand over their heart.
17. "Bless your Heart" is a nice way of saying you're an idiot.
18. No matter what kind: sprite, coke, Pepsi, mountain dew, it isn't called soda or pop. It’s all called coke
19. If you don't like the weather in Georgia, wait 15 minutes, it will change

20. The difference between a Yankee and a Damn Yankee is, the Yankee goes back home.

21. And for you Liberals pussies…

Hints to Help

Okay, I'm back again, all safe and sound.  You can call off the search squads, the police and the FBI.  I just didn't have much to say, but I did read all those on the side bar everyday.  You should, too.  There is some might good posting going on over there.

So, for today, I didn't want to post on all the stuff going on all over the world... though I did read that there is a movement to get rid of Maxine Waters in the Senate.  I saw these hints to make life a little easier and though you would like them, too.  No thanks  necessary, but comments would be appreciated.

Now back to you daily reads...
 

Red Necks Rule...

That's it.  Carry On!!!
