Burned my leg on a dirt bike engine.  Swore I would never try to ride a bike again.   [roll]

Finally mastered the pedal bike.   :-[  I was a late bloomer.

probably because there is someone else in there to steal your wallet or tip the uterus over.

1985?

I was two. I don't really recall what I did with my time.

'85..

I FINALLY asked Kirsten to "go with me" this week and she said YES!  

We went to Teen Wolf last night and saw previews for The Goonies, something called The Breakfast Club ??? and Chuck Norris' new movie..Invasion USA.  That looks totally AWESOME!  

  [popcorn]

Maybe we'll meet up at the roller rink tonight?!  Hopefully, her mom can give her a ride into town 2 nights in a row!


My little brother is such a spaz!  Can you practice your recorder someplace else?!

MOM!!  Am I ever going to get my own room?!  

Psst..like, Nice FAG TAG Morgan!  

You better not tell mom I said that either!   [cheeky]

Did someone tip you off that I was coming?  [roll]  ;D

I had a very short stint in the OH-58 - until the "seated hight" issue came up.  Then was moved back into the UH-1.  Now with the Nat'l Guard and flying the UH-60.
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

no, refer to the hanging out with other army brats statement from before.
while i wasn't personally involved with any shenanigans (that ic an remember) there was enough to get us in trouble and get my dad dressed down. that and they wanted to move away from all the other people. we moved from rucker to between goodman and e-prise. nearest neighbor was over 1/4 mi away, most of the side roads were still dirt.

i still have all the schematics for the kiowa and the apache. i never liked the blackhawk though.
as a kid my walls were covered with all of the drawings and pictures.

you never had to interact with a CW4 Rego did you? He was doing a lot more classroom stuff the last few years before he retired. not sure who he was teaching.

Translated - I have no recollection of said shenanigans.


Rego does not sound familliar, but it was over 20 years ago.

1985: Graduated high school, was riding a 1976 Yamaha XS360 and trying to keep an RD350 running. Driving a 1974 Nova SS. found beer for the first time.

Saw a picture of a 650 Paso in a magazine.  My life hasn't been the same since.

1987: Yeah, this bike is sweeeeeeet. I'm so gonna kick every other racer's ass... When I'm done they're gonna name a hot-looking two-stroke after me!



Sept 1989: Boy, racing / living in SF / trying to make a living off music software sure is expensive. I think I'll move back to Vermont.

Oct 1989: That earthquake looks nasty. Glad I moved.

Dec 1989: make the beast with two backs, I'd forgotten how cold Vermont is.
I own several motorcycles. I have owned lots of motorcycles. And have bolted and/or modified lots of crap to said motorcycles...
