I appreciate the kind words guys. Jay's having a rough time of it, he was closer to Lowell than I was.
If it ain't one thing it's another. Yesterday evening I somehow managed to break my right thumb pulling a casserole dish of lasagna out of the oven. How does that even happen?  And today I'm learning just how much you actually use your thumb to do every little thing..

 Hope it heals up quick. I crushes my knuckle on my index finger years ago with a 16 lb. sledge hammer. Don' even ask.  I think I bumped it into everything possible. I've never seen so many stars during the day. lol

Well according to my oldest sister who's a retired nurse my thumb isn't broken, I just dislocated it. She thoroughly enjoyed pushing and pulling on it as I grimaced in pain.. Her advice was to man up, take 2 tylenol and don't call her in the morning.

So far so good.
So far I haven't laid my bike over. I love this bike and was thinking of taking it to the trails this weekend if the weather is permitting. Is there anyone in the lower alabama area that would like to ride?

Well I'm gonna lay it out here. I'm in the end stage of heart failure. And there probably won't be another Hawk season for me. It's genetic on my mother's side and has taken several. But I been telling everyone, do not feel sorry for me. I burnt the candle at both ends and had an amazing life and wouldn't change any of it.
And I wanna thank you all for the info about a bike I knew very little about. And it brought back a time before I was a welder, back when I thought I could make the world a better place just by fixing bikes. It's been fun guys 🙂

 I'm just glad we could help you enjoy this part of life. You don't need a Hawk to hang around here.

Went to see Rise Of Skywalker thursday with friends and family, which was pretty good. My eldest sister Annie was taking the pic, we've been to every Star Wars movie since 1977. From left to right is Jay's boy Cash, my girl Heather, myself and Jay. A good pic of Jay but after spending 5 months in a wheelchair I've packed on some pounds lol. Afterwards we all loaded up and went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner.
We've been having some remarkably warm weather and I'm trying to work up the courage to climb back on the Hawk today, we'll see..

I know the pack-on-the-pounds thing. I've spent much of the last two and a half years cycling on and off Pred for an immune system thing, and have put on almost 50. Freaking sucks...... Trying my dangdest to get rid of it, other than picking up a Meth habit at 60 years of age.

I don't know how much more I can take, one of my oldest friends 2 months ago committed suicide by hitting a semi head on, and now my nephew lastnight. I knew Lowell was a good candidate for it, but my nephew Brice.. I had just taken him out to the ballfields to run RC cars and we had fun. What can be so terrible at age 13? Now I gotta keep an eye on my sister and my niece. I need to go for a bike ride.
