The Old Man finally called 'er quits......Big R!!! Several of you guys know my Dad from DG I. Well, today he hung it up, officially retired. We threw a cookout for him at work for his last day. He went and bought some property about an hour or so north of Deals Gap and plans to build a house there overlooking the Smokies. He's got no excuse for missing DG7! So if ya see this 62 year old geezer out touring East Tennessee on a red ZX12R be sure to give him some shit! ____________

He liked you too, Harry. He was impressed when you were charging hard into the corners with Travis on the back. He's brought that up a few times. Said "Y'know, he sure was a likeable guy."
OZZY, Mom and I tried to get "OLFRT" for a plate when he got the 12 but Mich DOT wouldn't let him have it. Said it was offensive, boneheads.
HDL, big finished exposed basement and a 3 stall garage Break ground in the spring if all goes well.
Keep busy, If you only knew. He's gonna go nuts until he starts that house. LOL!!

Rick, my only excuse is the planning takes place way after I can get vacation time scheduled. Was there the week before this year because someone else at work had that weekend. As far as winter, s'posed to get lots of snow this year. The Polaris is ready, let it fly.

Scoot....
It couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Tell him to give me a shout when they get settled in or even if they need help getting settled in, we're here to help if we can.
