    Hey, I've done that more than I care to. What sucks is when I'm on my bike. You know how hard it is to do and maintain 60 on open road on a bike.....good lord. Makes you want to scream.

    Which is why I only tend to ride my iron pony in areas where the odds that I'll run into a revenue collector are slim to none.

    Because @!$@%@$@% doing 55-60 on a wide open two lane.

    Well, I need to vent a little. We bought our new place and I have been working on it non stop ever since. Hey...it goes with the territory and doesn't bother me much. I have to strip it, restain and ch.ink it when I get home next rotation. I'm really not looking forward to that....at all. Plus I have 1 rotted log that I know of to replace. Ugh. Anyhow, so I took two of my boys out to go fishing in my usually spots on the south fork. Some much needed RnR. We get down there and for 20 miles or so it looks like a friggin shanty town trailer park. All these folks from the coast decided to move into the national forest permanently. Which is legal if they move camp every 14 days. So they all just move down 1 spot every 14 days. Which leaves a person literally nowhere to camp or fish. Because they block all the river access. Suck! Drove around for 2 hours and traveled down some pretty steep embankment to try and fish. I got into a couple of altercations because of it. I hate people....really. Our friends own a very successful camp ground in town and another retired friend of ours is their handyman and lives there full time. So between them.....they talk to alot of these folks. Alot of them can't afford the rent at the park so they goto the NF for free. They just get a p.o. box in town and live off welfare or unemployment. Because of these azzhats, I can't even take my boys fishing. Last weekend one of them burnt down along the river. Apparently the guy did a poor job of installing a wood burning stove in his travel trailer. I'm over this scamdemic and idiots moving here.

    I'm not going to risk my license and livelihood just to get somewhere a few minutes earlier....not worth it. I go up there alot to jasper, old man river area, revelstoke and such because it is close to the house. The speed limit is 80kph I belive....and it sucks.

    My dads, dad was in the navy in the south pacific fleet. I'm not sure what ship. But was a middle heavy wait champ of the fleet. Machinist mechanic i think. They probably drank together!

    My moms dad was a Seabee and was at Iwo Jima, mom still has all his letters send home to Grams.
