She's trying again in 2012! Go Kathy! 2010 was to learn the ropes. 2012 will be yours!

Damn! We're proud of you!

I don't suppose a yard sign at the little hut in the woods would do any good but I'll start saving my nickles and pennies for my donation...but first a new roof for the house.

Supposed to be 30 year shingles but they have been there for 10 years and look terrible. Not leaking yet but it will be a hold my fingers till spring time. Steel will replace the shingles, I'm to old to go through this again and the steel roof I want is guaranteed for 50 years.

2nd pot of coffee, Sanborn, decaff but hot black and strong. donut and toast for breakfast, couldn't face cereal again today and I'm having a bad back week so standing long enough to make oatmeal or fry an egg wasn't going to happen.

Did get some .410 shooting done day before yesterday and some 45 ACP shooting done yesterday. Still shooting up the last of the 1976 batch I made a hundred years ago only these hadn't been resized so they are having trouble feeding. Still darn accurate though.

Supposed to snow or rain this afternoon, I vote for rain but I don't think anybody in the weather department cares about my vote. Still have garden clean up and roof work on my deer blind to do. Might not get done this year but I'm going to try.

Thanks 63D, your right I did learn the ropes and meet a lot of great people.

Back to my real job tomorrow, OG thanks we are setting up the "exploratory" committee to start raising the funds. I will send you a yard sign from this campaign if you like, we are reusing one type. Again going we are going to take pride on being cheap.

Raining here, waiting for a warm day to go riding, Army son is getting married next month and hes coming here to do it. I hope he knows when he can get leave soon we cant even plan.

Kathy,
There are a lot of quotations which apply here..

From Patton:

"Thirty years from now when you're sitting around your fireside with your grandson on your knee, and he asks you, "What did you do in the great World War Two?" You won't have to say, "Well, I shoveled shit in Louisiana."

To TR"s:
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy course; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."

The nation is in a bloody mess so those who stood on their hind legs to be part of the movement to retake our nation earn the admiration and respect of all.

Thank HDR, I will stay in the fight. Groups are forming to fight the fraud in our election here, we are demanding that the Fed step in. The Governors race was blatantly stolen.

It may actually warm up here I can try out my new motorcycle tire.

For such a little state you guys sure do make the news. I kind of wonder about a couple of other races too, Senator for one.

Well enjoy the ride, I'm going out to the shop to make a table for my mother, then maybe, if I'm still able, I will burn some gun powder.

When you get your paper work done and name on the ballot send that sign, I'll put it right next to my mail box and send a picture of it to you. You can label it "Grumpy old Cheeseheads for Kathy". Or maybe not, I don't know if it would help or not. It sure will mess with my neighbors minds though and it will be worth it for that. Gun owners, family full of ex marines, yet they voted Democrat????? It boggles me little mind.

I have a rule with winter riding; if it is cold enough to need chaps; I take the bike apart or something. lol.

I'd like to pull the heads on mine and set the valves up for a different cam. Some of the new designs hit lower in the rpm than my S&S 495 (for the gear heads: http://www.nightrider.com/biketech/h...l_bydur_ql.htm) which is a good thing.. However, a 106" engine has a shyte load of torque; so, a new cam is a want not a need and the way things are; I'll keep the cash.

Everyone thing I wanted to say about the race was said (ie: Patton, TR, et al).
