Hey Guys---It's grey, it's drizzly, it's cold---but there's still a lot that has gone on and a lot still to go on. So, while I really need to catch you up on some things I think it's even more important to let you know what is still in store for this year (and peek into next year just a little.)
 
 
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Coming up:
 
11/26 Thanksgiving--a time for reflection and thoughts on family, friends and those special people and things that make life worth living---take a moment to thank yourself for the little things you do each day that no one ever comments on, but you do because you know it's right to do them. And then watch some football, a parade and eat a slice of pumpkin pie, because you deserve it.
 
11/28 Vietnam Vets/Legacy Vets Mary Bridge Children's Hospital Toy Run---Bar-B-Que from Noon at Destination HD (in Fife) leaves there to ride around the Hospital at 1:30pm, $10 donation requested. We'll probably leave here at 11:00am, if there is any interest we can schedule some pack-up points along the way.
 
11/28 Toys for Tots prep event at the Barrel (112th and first Ave S in Burien)---bring a new unwrapped toy and get a Mexican dinner for $5, 5:00m start time. It'll be nice after the Vet's ride to come back and get dinner at a fair price.
 
12/4 Chicken Friday!!!---just haven't mentioned it in a while; we'll be at the Barrel.
 
12/5 State Toy Run in Olympia---gates open at South Sound Center in Lacey at 10:00am (exit 108 off I-5), ride begins at 1:00pm...if you've never done this one, you need to. The sight of thousands of bikes monopolizing both sides of Capital Way in downtown Olympia is awe inspiring (four abreast, both directions.) Let's plan to leave the Barrel at 9:00am, we'll make a quick stop at the Yardarm in Des Moines to pick up anyone from there, then make our way to Tacoma V-Twin (South 56th & 'M' in Tacoma) where we'll take a warm up break. Leaving Tacoma by 11:00am should get us to Lacey in plenty of time to get pins and T-shirts by ride time---then all you have to do is wait for the sound of the low flying jet.
 
12/6 North Kitsap ABATE Toy Run for the children of Harrison Medical Center---ride leaves American Legion Post 68 at 10:00am. To make this ride we'll have to catch the 8:45am Bremerton ferry and catch the run at the second stop (Romeo's Bar and Grill on Kitsap Way over in west Bremerton by Lake Kitsap) and which leaves there at 10:45am. Sorry I got no addresses---the flier didn't have any.
 
12/8 Second Tuesday Rat City ABATE meeting---at the Emerald Green Restaurant (13100 48th in Tukwila Wa) 6:00pm social/7:00pm general meeting. All are welcome--bring a friend.
 
12/11,12,13 International Motorcycle Show at Qwest Field Event Center---Friday 4:00pm till 9:00pm, Saturday 9:30am till 8:00pm, Sunday 9:30am till 5:00pm. There will be an ABATE of Washington booth there this year and Mark the Shark and I will be there Friday evening, stop by and say HI!
 
12/12 Tacoma ABATE's run for the YWCA Women's Shelter---leaves the Haven (12510 Pacific Ave in Parkland) at Noon. Wrap up at the Right Spot in Fife. This is hands down my favorite event of the year, it will leave you with something to think about.
 
12/12 Rat City ABATE Breakfast Ride---our bi-monthly ride will be Saturday this month only and will meet in the parking lot of the Yankee Diner in Renton (on the north side of where I-405 and Rte 167 cross). We will then ride to Parkland to have breakfast at the Haven (they're offering a breakfast special) and take part in the Tacoma ABATE run for the Tacoma YWCA Women's Shelter. Everyone is welcome, leave from Renton 9:00am.
 
12/12 The Squirrels last Christmas Show (and last show for real)---9:30pm at the Tractor Tavern in Ballard. It is rumored that the Claus will put in an appearance. $10 in advance or at the door. Fro more info go to:
http://www.facebook.com/thesquirrels?v=app_2344061033#/event.php?eid=59004717948&index=1
        
12/18 Another Chicken Friday Christmas---OK here it is, the one you've all been waiting for (or maybe it's just me). This year's Another Chicken Friday Christmas is a co-sponsorship between Top Hat Taxes and Rat City ABATE of Washington.
Where: the Barrel (112th and First Ave S in North Burien) What: CHICKEN FRIDAY!!!!---diner buffet supplied by that Gourmet eating establishment the Barrel, $10  Who: my good friend Orville Johnson will be there to provide the light motif for the evening, the Clause will be there to read "The Night Before Christmas", Christmas Carols will be sung and if Dave Eady shows up with his lighted Sleigh-Cycle my night will be complete. When: 6:00pm till...10:00pm?? Why: We're gonna try and raise some money for the food bank. (All money collected will go to the Food Bank.)
This will be out only on electronic media, so feel free to spread it around--feel free to bring a friend. If you've been thinking: "I'd sure like to go to a CHICKEN FRIDAY!!!" and haven't done so yet, this is your chance---see you there.
 
12/25 Christmas---I don't care what your religion is, this is the time of the year when you count your blessings. When the long hights are the darkest, it's important to have something warm and bright to hold onto. If nothing else works for you---remember: I love you (at least most of you anyway.)
 
12/31 New Years Eve--a new beginning---isn't nice how they give you one each year?
 
1/21/2010 (it sounds so weird to say that let alone write it) Black Thursday---ABATE of Washington's legislative day. Time to flood the Capital---more info to come...
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
 
Gawd---told you there was a lot to come
 
Remind me to tell you about---STEAM (did I tell you about STEAM?), the last Rat City ABATE breakfast ride, the wet ride to Portland (we had to bail the bikes), the cold ride to Cle Elum (Mark the Shark went the other way at the end and had to ride the first snow to get back), Halloween (I think), the boat ride to the North Kitsap ABATE Wing Ding (nice folks)...

Hey Guys---I'm getting so lost in time, that I'm having a hard time remembering what's been done lately and what I've already talked about. So if I forget about something let me know, but gently---I'm feeling kind of fragile for some reason.
 
OK, so the new Thunder Press is out and they have deigned to print two of my stories this month---a story about the VME Isle of Vashon event (which I think is a pretty fair story) and the Strutz Fest (which I think is a pretty fair event.) So if you feel the inclination pick up a copy and let me know what you think. No prizes for this, but I may quote you if you don't make me blush too much---one way or the other.
 
Sunday the 13th was our bi-monthly road clean up. There was a good turnout and it didn't take long to get done. It's kind of amazing how good you feel after making a little bit of the Earth look a little better. I now find myself riding down the road looking at the filth piled up wondering who is responsible---there's a certain stretch of road that I know the answer to the question. next clean up 11/8 write it down---join us. The rest of the day we spent at a nice Jazz fest up at Sand Point---thanks for the invite Karen.
 
A few weeks ago, on a Saturday, we were supposed to do our annual pilgrimage around Hood Canal. The morning dawned grey and misty (Gawd what a surprise for a September Morn!) We were scheduled to meet people at the Fauntleroy Ferry Dock---and we were there---by ourselves, but we had said we would meet people in Purdy at the Flotation Device Pub; so on the boat we got. While on the ride on the boat Mark the Shark called to say he was at the Pub. We finished the ride into Purdy in the chill and falling mist, taking care on the slick back roads; as we came down the bluff into Olala before heading into Crescent Valley, a pair of does resting on someone's lawn watched us ride by without batting an eye.
 
While riding in that kind of weather is not one of my favorite things to do, there is something to be said about the beauty of it. The deep color of the evergreens made even deeper by the moisture in the air, the broad leafs just starting to turn, but not yet falling and making a mess of the roads, the way the sky seems to hang just above your head and yet there's the lingering possibility that everything will clear up, the clouds will part and the sun will shine like it's never gone into hiding.
 
At Purdy we met the Shark, had a very nice breakfast and decided we didn't need to prove anything. We headed back the way we had come, pausing along the way to point out where the Polar Bears jump off the bridge every January First in Olala. The rest of the ride back to the boat was fairly uneventful and once we were home a fire in the fireplace helped to shake off the chill of the day.
 
We spent the weekend of Oyster Run, close to home. The crowd involved are getting to the point where it's just scary. I'm to the point that the only way I would go anymore is to go Saturday and come back Monday. Any thoughts on that? Suggestions?
 
Last weekend (10/2,3,4) we went to the ABATE STEAM/Board of Directors at Panhandle Lake near Shelton. We headed out in the afternoon Friday with Glenn riding with us from here to the Ferry where the Shark caught up with us. The weather was marginal, but it was still a nice ride through the woods. At the camp (fieldhouse, cabins, dorms, mess hall) Mike Norris and the Hangin' Chad joined up with us. Mike's bike is down because of someone else's non-thinking turn in front of him and Chad had family affairs to take care of before the weekend was done, so they both drove around. It turns out this camp is one I had been to a couple of times in my youth---lots of flash-backs all weekend long.
 
The weekend was structured around learning sessions on Saturday and a general meeting of the organization on Sunday, with plenty of time for socializing built in. The highlight of the weekend was the Saturday night mid-night swim---a bit nipply, but if you're fortified it's not bad at all. All in all an enjoyable and informative weekend.
___________________________________________________________________ 
I have been a little lax about keeping up with up-coming events---so let me fill you in on just a few that are important to me:
 
10/11---Rat City Breakfast ride--meets at Gator's (21609 84th Ave S Kent) 9:00am for breakfast---after that who knows (I could have some surprises)
 
10/13---Second Tuesday Rat City meeting---at the Emerald Green Restaurant (13100 48th Tukwila) 6:00pm social/7:00pm general meeting---come meet the new Coordinator Chad. Bring a friend.
 
10/17---Rat City ABATE Scavenger Hunt---starts 10:00am at the Whitehorse Bar & Grill (14935 Interurban Ave S Tukwila) $10 buy in--ends 4:00pm same place. I won't be hunting this year, so someone else has a better chance of winning.
 
12/18---Another Chicken Friday Christmas---starts 6:00pm at the Barrel (112th & 1st Ave S Burien) this year will be co-sponsored by Top Hat Taxes and Rat City ABATE. I've made arrangements for some entertainment (other than drunk Bikers singing Christmas Carols) we will be raising monies for the local Food Bank---and of course I will read "The Night Before Christmas" There will be no advertisements other than electronic, so feel free to spread the word and bring friends.

Hey Guys---just reread my last e-mail from Pt Townsend and it sounds pretty stilted. I was composing on the laptop and every now and then it would ask if I really wanted to leave what I was doing---and then it didn't ask it just did it and there went half of what I had already written---Gawd was I pissed. It never sounds half as good on the reconstruction as it did originally. 
 
Anywho we were at Pt Townsend for the Friday evening of Labor Day Weekend and had a very nice time with the relatives (I might have indulged just a bit, causing me to be a bit slow in the morning.) But, in the morning we packed the trailer and headed for the KOA campground near Port Angeles, continuing our trek around the Olympic Peninsula on Highway 101. It was crowded but we did manage to find a room at the Inn and early in the day at that.
 
After getting settled we saddled back up and headed for the end of the world at Neah Bay and beyond to Cape Flattery. We dodged and didn't rain squalls all day and all the way, but it wasn't enough to stop and put rain gear on. We followed the road until there wasn't any more road---just a trail. Then we walked---yeah you heard me we walked. On the way out it wasn't bad...down hill. As they say it's not the trot over it's the crawl back that will get you. I did take some pictures so it was worth the walk. We went because my friend Yogi says he wants to pee off the end of the world---I'd walk it again just to see him take that hike to take that pee-----motorcycle boots are not made for hiking.
 
Back at camp that night we were treated to the pitter patter of raindrops that kept falling on our heads---in the morning we packed in the wet and misty morning. It was damp but we were determined to try to keep to our plan. First thing were treated to a morning vision of Lake Crescent; we had rain gear on but the weather was still deciding what it was going to do. As we sound our way around the lake you could watch small white clouds shred themselves as they climbed the evergreen sides of the mountains. The mist in the air was just enough to keep things interesting as I took my time guiding the bike and trailer around the twisties of the lake. By Forks we were soaked and the rain was serious.
  
After breakfast in Forks we rode in and out of rain cells both big and small to the shores of Lake Quinault, where we arraigned for a camp spot. We were told to go on down and choose a spot. While riding around the grounds checking out the camp spots I found myself in ankle deep mud---I was still on the bike. Luckily there were some other campers there to help me set things right.
 
The rain came and went (mostly came) throughout the day---which we spent snug and damp in the pop-up. Lucky we had brought books. In the morning it was still raining and I had had enough. At Aberdeen instead of turning south as we had originally intended, we continued east toward Olympia, I-5 and home. It was like Mother Nature was saying "You're not getting off that easy." The rain at times became not a liquid but a wet solid as we made our run for home. We were home by early afternoon Monday---I think it took at least three days for my boots to dry. [there are some pictures on the web site---there are also pictures from the Isle of Vashon VME event, which I forgot to mention last time]
 
Last Friday, at Chicken Friday I got a call from The Gimp. "You gotta go on this ride with me tomorrow---I'll call you in the morning and tell you how were hooking up." Well, when The Gimp calls you answer. I remembered to take my Ibuprofen before I went to bed, so was awake to take the call the next morning. I met him in a parking lot in Renton with Mick Gillispie the Washington State ABATE Coordinator and we headed north up I-405 for Everett.
 
In Everett we found the Lighthouse Saloon (not without some backtracking and help from a group of Band of Brothers.) This was a Confederation of Clubs event and there were patches from almost every club in western Washington. There were well over 150 bikes there to start the ride. The destinations were a close secret. There were two stops, one in Lynwood (Shoreline ?) The other, just south of where I am now, in Seatac.
 
There are some establishments that will not serve someone who rides a motorcycle and shows an affiliation to a club on their back. If you were a union member and some place asked you to leave because you wore clothing that said you were a union member---how would you feel? If you were a fan of a local sports team and were asked to leave some place because you wore something to show your support---how would you feel? Now if in the past you or someone you were associated with had done something to warrant that reaction it would be one thing, but how about if it was just supposition that something might happen---how would you feel?
 
That's what this ride was about---visiting two places that have a policy of not serving club members. It was done in a friendly but firm manner, with enough people in attendance to show the establishments the up side of serving club members $$$.
 
I have to commend Double D, the Defenders (an arm of the Confederation of Clubs) Commander, for his show of leadership and everyone else for their attitude.
 
Coming up
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
9/19 Hood Canal Ride---Meet at the Fauntleroy Ferry to catch the 9:15am boat to Southworth--first stop will be the Flotation Device in Purdy---so those coming from the south, may want to hook up there---if you want breakfast there get there early.
We're thinking of a picnic at the Sharks place so the stop in Hoodsport may only be for provisions. Even if it's damp here, the west side of the canal is usually in a rain shadow, so it will probably be nice over there.
 
10/2,3,4 ABATE of Washington Steam at Panhandle Lake 4-H Camp in Shelton if you are interested in ABATE or grass roots political action this is for you [flier on the web site]
 
10/17 Harvest Moon Dance by Sky Valley Chapte of ABATE in Monroe $5 [flier on the web site]
 
10/17 Scavenger Hunt By Rat City Chapter of ABATE--meet at the Whitehorse Bar & Grill (14935 Interurban Ave S Tukwila) play starts 10:00am ends 4:00pm $10 benefits White Center Food Bank

Hey Guys---Greetings from Pt. Townsend--we're trying to take a little trip around the Olympic Peninsula this Labor Day weekend. We'll see if the weather and our stamina let us make it. We are currently at Marjorie's nephew's, Nathan, and his wife Susan's home. We don't get to see enough of them so this is a pleasure. We spent last night at Potlatch State Park---nice place, if you get the chance to visit---you should.
 
Last week took a special Taco Thursday ride with some people to a burger joint near Greenwood. As a matter of fact it's right at the end of Finney ridge just after the Woodland Park Zoo, where Finney Avenue does a jog to become Greenwood Avenue. If you're traveling north on Finney and fail to make the jog, you would run right into Red Mill Burgers. You probably shouldn't run into it, but you should go there---Gawd what a burger. There was Yogi and Jenn, Otis, the Shark and a couple others (I'm gettin' old and the synapsis don't fire the same way they used to.)
 
We went from there to the Alki---though it took a long time cause the Shark had to stop for a rest every couple miles (I think he's gettin old too.) At the Alki we heard rumours of the infamous VME Vashon ride being scheduled to happen that next Sunday. Well I ran right home, made some calls, posted some Q's on line and got confirmation. At Chicken Friday we discussed going over to Vashon and taking part---also got some responses to the on line stuff. Well Sunday morning we were at the Ferry dock, but no one we knew was there. When we hit the dock on vashon Mike Campbell was there waiting for us. Just as I parked my bike in the town of Vashon my cell rang---it was The Gimp and Ruufie come over from Tacoma. We all hooked up and went looking for some morning fortification. At one point I caught a glimpse of Glenn Goodgion from Rat City ABATE, but he was already on his way out of town on the poker run and didn't see me.
 
Once we were on our way it was fun showing the newcomers around the ride. We made a stop at the little store in Burton and pulled up beside Glenn. He had his map upside down, so I told him we would take care of him. The route on this ride hasn't changed a whole lot in the years that I've been doing it, so it's just kind of kick back and do it. I had gotten the Shovelhead out the day before and checked it out to be able to ride it at the Vintage Motorcycle Enthusiasts event and it was running pretty good until the last mile or so before the Sportsmen's Club. When we got to the Sportsmen's Club I changed out spark plugs and figured that would take care of it.
 
When it came time to go, I fired up and it sounded pretty good. Then it quit and wouldn't start. The rule is go back to what you did last, so I changed out another set of plugs. Then ran the battery down so started kicking. We found someone to give a jump, that didn't help. Marjorie called AAA and was told two hours---out came the tools again. As the lot emptied up walked a group of young gentlemen to ask what they could do to help. We talked about it and checked spark and points. We pushed the bike up the hill and tried to bump start it on the way down.  Just as we were all getting a little frusterated I pulled the air filter and checked fuel flow---none. One of the young men spotted what he thought was water in the fuel filter, so we pulled and drained the line---still nothing. I pulled my leatherman and whacked the float bowl---that worked. Pn the third kick the bike fired up.
 
These guys were up from Portland for the weekend to attend this event. They made all the difference in my day and I hope we see each other again. They are the next generation in the lifestyle---I think I'll quit worrying.
 
The Cowchip Boogie story is in this months Thunder Press---check it out.
 
Don't forget Second Tuesday this coming Tuesday---Rat City ABATE meeting--come on down.
 
Rat City Road clean-up 9/13--come help beautify America---9:00am at the Barrel.
 
Hood Canal ride 9/19---first ferry from Fauntleroy after 9:00am (9:15 I think)
 
 
This is Irish with a low five from the hi-way---hope we make it, I'm sitting here as it's starting to rain.

Hey Guys---Last we spoke, Marjorie and I were in Coquille, Oregon having a nice visit with that side of the family. I know it's probably not interesting to most of you, but there are some pictures from that trip on the web site. I may have also forgotten to tell you that there are a bunch of pictures from the Strutz Fest on the web site---so you can kinda get a better idea of what that was like.
So, moving right along---we headed back north on the Saturday (8/15) heading up the coast and taking our time, just trying to keep as steady a pace as we could. As you can imagine at this time of year the tourist traffic was pretty intense. Most of the wide spots in the road were almost stop and go---so needless to say most of our time was spent getting on down the road instead of looking at it. We finally did make one discretionary stop in Gearhardt (I think) at a nice public establishment for a much needed refreshing beverage.
We made it into Ilwaco,Wa that evening to our favorite campground...KOA. The first question asked was---"Do you have a reservation?" We didn't--but I must have said the right thing at the right time (and I wish I could remember what that was) because they opened up a closed RV spot for us and were going to charge us camp spot rates. That was until the lovely lady behind the counter looked at her computer again (you know? Sometimes these things do have redeeming values) and asked if I would like $10 or $25 off my bill------yeah it took me about that long. It ended up that we had enough bonus points from last summer that all we had to do was pay the sales tax and we were good to go. Ain't America great??-----Oh that was $2.06!
 
Next day we were home before it got hot.
 
Only trouble we had was a pesky little oil leak from up top, where I had done the head gasket job. So when we got back, I changed the valve cover gaskets on the rear jug again---still got just a touch of seep, but I'll figure it out eventually.
 
Went up to Ballard for Backfire Motorcycle Night (Third Wednesday each month). If you haven't caught this action---you need to. The diversity in the bikes is definitely worth the ride to check out. Spent a little time with our favorite Skandihoovian, Karen Hansen...thanks Karen.
 
Did City Hall in Cumberland and the Yella Beak in Enumclaw for Taco Thursday. Had a nice visits with Mike Campbell and Lesta about the Kickback Campout in Lewis County---maybe next year. Also visited with "Princess" Karen from South King County---there's some chatter going round that her buddy Big Rick is coming back into town. Be good to have Rick back galoomping around.
 
Hadn't been to a Chicken Friday in a while so put off going to the Apples Family Campout until Saturday Morning. Nice casual Friday---got my Barrel Chicken fix and headed out bright and bleary to Royal Arches in Maple Valley. Good to see some of my buddies that I don't get to see very often. Gotta say, especially nice to see the contingent from the west side. When's the next pig roast over there guys?
The Apples always put together a nice party---games, food, beverages---nice time. Probably didn't say proper goodbyes Sunday morning, but after hauling that pop-up off the hill it seemed like it was best to just keep going. Thanks guys; you know you always got my support, even if it is topsy turvy.[pictures on the web site]
 
Had to get on the road early Sunday, because Rat City ABATE had a Bar-B-Q scheduled for that afternoon. I was really pleased with the people who showed to take part, but a little disappointed in those who didn't---such is life. It was a great spread and a good time---if you weren't there you missed something. [got a few pictures on the web site]
 
If you've been waiting around for our yearly ride around Hood Canal (listen up Ed) it looks to be 9/19. I'll get the schedules for the boat and we'll just meet there---unless maybe you're coming from the south (I'm talking to you Donnie) then maybe we can meet at the Flotation Device---I'll get it all worked out over the next couple weeks, stay tuned.
