....that I am arrogant, cocky and a smartass.....................then that's what I think I will become.
You can't be kind, punks see it as weakness.
You can't be humble, dumbasses see you as a suckass.
You can't be gentle, cons see you as an easy mark.
From now on you can call me Mr. Cochise...................LOL.

April '10 Freedom Ride
We had 41 bikes show up for our ride, scotters ranging from 3 Panheads, to a brand new (1978) Honda 750. After $1.50 Bloody Mary's & $1.50 Breakfast Sandwiches at the Lania Pub, we pointed South on US 1 to Maytown Rd, & headed West to Foxhead Bar.
Maytown Rd is a scenic 30 mile ride, but the road is a killer on bikes, especially rigids, and the speed limit is slow and enforced, but the hanging moss from the huge oak trees takes your mind away from your hurting butt and launches you into a place of soulful bliss.
After a couple of brews at Al's Foxhead, we preceeded South on 415 to Hwy 46, turned West for about a mile and stopped at the Airport Hanger Bar, where we enjoyed Pulled Pork Sandwiches, cold drinks and a good Juke Box.
Some left from here and went to the Patch, but most stopped by Johnny Rotten's Bar Out Back for awhile before taking another scenic route around Lake Jessup, to the Cabbage Patch.
Finished the day up with Moma, Baby & Grandbaby watching a movie. It was a good day.

Freedom Ride
We have a Freedom Ride planned for today. Going from Edgewater to Sanford, a bit cloudy should make for a more comfortable ride. This will be the last one for a month or 2 or 10, just wore out on organizational stuff.
To many irons in the fire is adding to stress.
Now for a soul commercial:
Stress is a fact of life. Every one of us encounters it. If your work is stressful, if you're a single parent or a caretaker of an elderly parent or spouse, or if you're grieving for someone you love, your stress level has probably peaked.
Since it is impossible to avoid stress, we must deal with it. The key in dealing with stress is learning how to de-stress. It's about opening your valve and releasing the pressure.
Music, walking, laughing and curling up with a good book are all great ways to bring calm back into your life-even if it is just for a moment. Don't forget to take care of yourself, it is only when you do that the stresses of your live seem easier to handle.

Patriot
"In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it cost nothing to be a patriot."

Love
To My Family,
If I could only love you when you are around me as much as I miss you when we are apart, I'd be a better man.

Success
Many years ago a mentor told me that a person will know when he is successful, not by the money he makes, but by the number of people who try to bring him down. Undermining can only be done if you have been elevated.

From Big Tim
Cochise,
So my dog and I go into my favorite bar the other day for the ritual (me- beer, him- ice cubes and scraps) and while playing pool, I see your mag on a counter by the window.
Never seen it before. Opened it up and that was it. Boy do you guys speak the truth! Connecticut may be a Blue State, but that's cuz of all the liberal assholes on the shore with all the doe.
Up on top in the N.W. corner (woods) we think like you. Just about everybody I turn on to your mag feels the same. It's not in my bathroom, it's out in my truck, (though some would say it's a rolling piece of shit anyway). I'll still drag it out all the time and have people check it out. The old timers seem to be the most impressed. Their all vets and have their weapon's permits and want to buy Mr. John Lovell a meal.
Been up here 15 years, lived in Miami-Dade 15 years. Did the Daytona run every year, but one, when I was down there. It's Myrtle Beach and Laconia now, with The Rendezvous in New York thrown in.
No idea how your mag got up here, but glad it did. So here's my cash, send me what you got, and I'll help wake people up around here.
