Tired Tuesday.......



Hi everybody....Although yesterday was Sunny, it was still only 39 degrees. But even so, I saw Crazy Bikers riding everywhere! In Michigan we use salt on our highways to melt the ice, and I ALWAYS wait until there is at least THREE heavy rains to wash away all the salt residue.
But it did inspire another edition of....

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A BIKER IF...

*You can't see out of the rear view mirror of your car or truck because of all the Harley stickers!
*You refer to your bike as if it had a legal first name.
*Your Christmas list has no words...Just part numbers.
*Every magazine that you subscribe to has the word "Biker" in the title.
*Every time that you spend money, you feel guilty because you could have spent it on your bike!
*You celebrate your birthday at the Harley Store.
*You think 'Helmet Hair' is a fashion statement.
*You encourage your kids to go to the Motorcycle Mechanics Institute instead of College.
*Your dog and your wallet are both on chains.
*You fainted when you met Willie G.
*Jack Daniels made your list of 'Most Admired People'.
*You've spent more money on your Bike, than your education..(Thats The Truth)
*You have at least one ashtray, thats a Motorcycle part.
*You think that the Harley Factory should be one of The 7 Wonders of the Modern World.
*You have more locks on your bike than you do your house.
*Anyone who doesn't ride...is just OK.
*Three times a day, you lay a Harley rug on the ground, and kneel toward Milwaukee.
*You keep a separate fridge in your garage...Just for beer!!

Two more days, and I'm outta here....

Peace...!!!

Friday Flash 55....


Mostly...Men are nasty,
'Raise a cheek'.... then wiggle.
Women are usually more demure,
They 'toot' or 'poot' then giggle.

'Let er Rip'
'Loud and Proud'
'Let Polly out of Jail'
'Launch a Loaf'
'Dutch Oven'
'Delivering the Mail'

'SBD's'....'Lingerers'
Your sense of smell they ravage,
Stay away from onions, boiled eggs, and cabbage!!

.
If you or anyone you know has written a Flash 55, please come tell the G-Man.
I will visit, read, enjoy, comment...Then BOOK!!!
So from the most gracious host from coast to coast...
Have a GREAT WEEK-END!!
Peace...!!!

Retro-Wednesday.......





Hi everybody....I'm sorry I haven't been visiting you all as I should be, but Business has been off the charts lately and I've been working 8-10 hr days, 6 days a week for the last month!!!

In the late Fifties and early Sixties, one of America's favorite TV shows was "Sing Along With Mitch". He led an orchestra and an ensemble of singers, and invited the audience at home to sing along. He had the lyrics to all the songs scrolling at the bottom of the TV....

A few years back I sold a car to a retired TV station manager from Detroit. Over time we became friends and he had some marvelous stories about the early days of television. One year after I sold his daughter a car, he gave me this record with Bobby Kennedy on the sleeve. Although it was the size of a 45, it was actually a 33 1/3 rpm. He told me that this was a very rare record. It was produced by the Johnson-Humphrey-Kennedy coalition, and Bobby spoke on issues on one side, and Mitch Miller and his Gang, sang on the flip side.
A few weeks after he cut this record, Bobby was shot dead, and the rest is history!!
Ahhhhh 1968, the year I graduated, I started college, the Tigers won the pennant!!!

Turbulent but Good Times....(except for Bobby)

Peace...!!!

Super Bowl Sunday........





Hi Everybody....
First of all I would like to thank all of the contributors on Friday Flash 55. Everyone did a Fantastic job. Secondly, those that know the G-Man, realizes that Super-Bowl Sunday is one of my favorite days of the year. For years the owner of Mo-Doggies Bar and Grill, Mike Demoss, hosts an awesome party at his little pub. There are prizes, raffles, pool sheets, drink specials, free food, and best of all the patrons bring a pass around dish. I always have to bring the same thing or else I am barred at the door. Vidalia Onion Dip, and my World Famous Gargonzola Dip!

Like an idiot, I forgot to take pics of my Vidalia Dip assembly, but basically it is this ratio... One cup of Miracle Whip, One cup of shredded Swiss Cheese, One cup of finely chopped onions, and One package of cream cheese. Mux it all up by hand, put it in an oven proof dish, bake for 35 minutes at 350, then VOILA!!!

The Gargonzola Dip is a matter of personal taste as to how much Gargonzola to use, but here is my recipe'...Two packs of cream cheese, Four ounces of Gargonzola, Six ounces of chopped walnuts, and Ten ounces of Apricot preserves. Some folks may put bacon bits in it, but I usually do not. Mux this up by hand as well, then watch it disappear!!!!!

And remember this folks, there is no right or wrong way!! You may substitute Blue Cheese or Stilton for the Gargonzola. And you may also use more cream cheese to cut down on the strength of the stronger tasting cheeses. It's ALL good!!!

Have a GREAT week....Peace...!!!
