I know I haven't been too active on the board lately but a lot has changed in my life and I've been busy with other things plus I don't have internet connection in my bus when I'm parked in Shawano Wi. This year I got a new bus, new girl friend, new harley and a new outlook on life.
Went to sturgis and had a great time there, released my first cd and that's going great, it already has gone "aluminum foil". I left Sturgis earlier than I usualy do to haul a broken sportster back to Wi. My friend and Photographer ran my bus out of fuel had to sit on the side of the road over night because the service call guy couldn't get bus started and ruined my batteries so I had to replace them. I gave my bed to the guests I were hauling back and their friend with the broken sporster got the futon while my guy slept on the floor and I slept on the chair, or at least tried. we got the new batteries at the tune of $350.00 the next morning in chamberlain Sd. and got back on the road. We stopped for breakfast and I thought mabee my guests I was helping out might buy breakfast "NOT" then I fueled up "with no offer of helping buy fuel" then I let the guy ride my bike home so he could get there sooner and get rested up for work. I beat him home by an hour. he then left my bike on empty. ungrateful prick
The bus ran great and got 5.8 mpg. I will probably be taking it dow the Missippi river in Iowa in late sept for a gig there. been on a 3 week tour on my bike hauling my equiptment on my trailer. put a big bore kit in it a couple weeks ago.
I just bought a copy of dream weaver and some books on using it and hope to have my web site revamped in aweek or so.
and if I get time I will finish the bus in Oct. and have a special place on my web site for it

I don't get it... where's the chorus? 'Cause that's a hurtin' tune if I ever heard one :-)

If you email me a sound bite from your new CD, I'll put it online so everyone can get a sample of what to buy.

And while you're at it, how about a picture of your new bus and Harley?

Ron - glad to here things are on the up for you. As I recall "Aluminum Foil" is much better than "Lead"!

As for the good samaritan gig, always better to stand tall even when those around you don't, way to go.

Dreamweaver is a good program, I like it. All it really lacks is talent, just like me! :-)

Ron every thing you do comes back to you. You got some karma points and the moochers got a suck minus in their account. Ian thanks for the restore and for the great board, and Craig, again thanks for all your help.

Ron First is you meet the nicest people on a Honda. Second is you are just driving a little motorhome and it is easy to fix and easy to keep in fuel. Been there and I was a motorcycle vendor. I used to love Sturgis, But my wife and I liked the bad lands better. God Bless for trying to help. Mike4905
