Well now fellers seems I only git here once every other year and I'll apologize agin as usual. Not a lot of changes here at the homeplace. Work in the bakery shows no signs of slowing down and new help comes an goes too often. They's still trying to work me into the grave. Told them they got 28 more months and I'm done. Too durn old for this 6 nights a week carp. Haven't bought any new muzzleloaders in a spell so no news there. In 5 weeks it's early muzzleloadin' season here in Pa. and since that Jaeger I bought off'n Volatpluvia is still loaded from last year she's all ready to go! (rekkin he'll tear me a new one for that) Just found the Bess (fell down behind the recliner!) and it's still loaded to. Don't know if it's from turkey season 2013 or if I used it last year in deer season. Better fire that one off. Ohh yeah....met Jason (Muzzleloader Magazines new owner) down at Ft. Frederick this past spring and he's a real nice feller. Jason, I'm the guy that was holding you up from your bowl of soup till that gal gave me ++++ and told me to let you eat. Smiler Crossfox sorry to hear of your injury and Birdman glad to hear you're still above ground ye ole rascal. Ain't seen Mike N. posting here much. What's up with that Mike? Excellent article in the latest issue by the way, as always. Well boys time is short as always. Need to git some time and make some phone calls one of these days. James Stone...thinkin' of you and the Missus and trust all is well. Audie...the Oldfart.

Well now Bird I'm just waitin' on that sun to come up an the school buses to clear out so got a minute here. See, I'm fixin' to go for a ride. Smiler Yessir after a 10 year hiatus from motorcycling I got another one. The Goldwing is sittin' down in the garage and needs so much work to bring her back I went out and bought...hope yer sittin' down...a Hardly-Ableson. Yeah...never thought I'd see that day either. But my nephew opened up a motorcycle shop in Chambersburg (Mainline Cycles) and I figgered family should help family so I bought this money pit. I mean motorcycle. He can work on anything, and does, but Hardlys are his speciality. I picked it up in March (sportster) and I'm still re-larnin' how to ride. Folks that says you never forget how to ride a bike are full'a malarkey. I've went "exploring" inn'a coupl'a cornfields already, ran over my own feet twice. Fell over at a stop-sign while trying to lean over and pick up a wheel-weight laying there. (bullet caster fulltime now) Hit the starter button in the garage awhile back...bike was in gear. Ended up chasing the durn thing to the back of the garage where it hit the riding mower. Dadgum thing has a 3 gallon gas tank. WTH? 3 gallons...seriously. An the filler hole is real little...an if you slop gas out it runs down all over the hot engine. That was puddy exciting. Frowner I'm going to mount a little kitchen fire extinguisher on it. The rear brake pedal makes the bike go faster. Go figger? Seems this is normal for Hardlys. Ohhh the stories I can tell about Hardlys. But I'm having a ball. Well, suns up...time to go scrape parts in the twisties over in Roxburys mountains. WHOOOHOOO! Audie...the Oldfart..

Had a Goldwing once. Sold it.

My old, 1982 Harley oozes character - all over my garage floor. The old gal still runs strong.
My 1995 Harley Sportster is my hotrod. It sure does have plenty of git-up-n-go.

I grew up around the beasts. I had an uncle who raced flat track back in the 1940's. He even raced at Daytona when they still raced on the beach.
Then he had a repair shop for Harley's and Indians through the 1950's and '60's.
I did some drag racing, myself, with a Sportster back in the 1960's.

Wow, where do I start? Why didn't I see this post five days ago? Audie on a Spotster? Hardly big enough! No pun intended. I can see it now, knees up around his ears, trying to figure out whether it is easier to reach thru his legs or try to wrap them around his knees? No wonder he introduced himself to several corn fields! When you retire are you gonna ride that beast down here to visit your old buddy and gunmaker? Oh, about Der Schmeiser, if you rust out that barrel John Getz will make you a new one. Just don't accidently shoot yourself. Remember, he has a hair trigger and he fires every time the cock hits the steel, prime or no prime. El Leon
