Since it is 103 again today, weather has been a “hot” topic of conversation around here lately (sorry, couldn’t help it! ). We even took the truck to Bike Night last night because it was still too damned hot outside to ride the Harley! Anyway, apparently our Fifty-something Nerd, has been unhappy about the weather, too. Bill Gates and a couple of his friends have recently filed patents for hurricane suppression-vessels that would be used to eliminate hurricanes. Key to a hurricane’s survival is the temperature of the ocean – it has to be warm enough, or the hurricane fizzles out. Bill and his buddies propose to bring water up from the lower depths of the ocean to cool the temperature on the surface – thus making the conditions unfavorable for a hurricane to form. Bill isn’t the first guy to explore this idea, but he is the first guy to explore it who has the cash to implement it. Not sure about the ecological implications here, but if we look at Bill’s track record of successful ventures, I’m thinking he can make this work. Now if he can just cool it down enough for us to take a ride …

Joe and Kelli are getting ready to tie the knot, and I think maybe they might have decided to go with a Harley theme. I spent a couple of minutes looking online for some Harley wedding stuff and I was pleasantly surprised at all that was out there. So, if you are looking for Harley wedding items, check out these sites for some way cool ideas: SuperWeddings.com, FairytaleWeddingStore.com, and PartyPop.com. I won’t post any pictures yet, cause I don’t want to share any of Kelli’s ideas, but she sent me some great stuff! If anyone has any fabulous Harley wedding ideas or if you find another cool site, be sure to let me know – and I’ll pass it on to our happy couple. Till next time…

I know you were tired and ready to rest,

You knew it was hard for me, you tried your best.

When it’s time for bed, your pillow I still arrange,

Habit for 16 years – that will take longer to change.

Your brothers and Sister were there waiting for you,

As I held you close and whispered for a final few.

You have wings now, my angel, so fly and be free

I know you are still watching, always here with me.

Hysterical…

The ROT Rally starts Thursday, and I think we are all ready:Did I forget anything?
