Well Bloggers, another year has come to an end with all the resulting ups and downs and bits in between.
Soooooo Bodger has decided to recap the year if for nothing else so he can remember for himself.
The good:
-the on-going treasure hunt for parts for Vicky and Amelia. Got a lot of the parts that is on the never-ending wish list such as gear cluster, horn, clutch bearings and rod, push rods, a tatty seat which will be redone, a tank for Vicky that is quite serviceable, a Spitfire tank for Amelia to save and preserve the original fiberglass one, a steel side panel for Vicky plus a slew of miscellaneous other bits
-obtaining more toys to play with such as a Darth Vader bobble head
-the continued learning of new and various things no matter whether good or trivial which in the words of Bodgers dear ol' Pappy can be termed "DUI"....Damned Useless Information.
-attending local classic bike events such as the New Ulm Rally and the Harvest Classic
-getting out and about and doing/seeing different things with the my lass Teri
-knowing who your mates are and that they're there like good mates will be
-idiotic dags who love you no matter what
-through the use of cyber space, finding old friends and being able to keep in touch with them
-two weeks of 20F weather that included some snow and ice which was most welcome by yours truly
-a change in personal circumstances that's for the better
-and lastly, to go along with the last item, meeting and being with Teri who is a great lass.
And now on to the not so good:
-still having to actually for a company that is determined in self-destructing no matter the cost
-a few medical issues coming up such as having high blood pressure and taking meds for that
as well as insomnia for the past two years
-the unexpected loss of a friend, George, who suffered a massive heart attack while out doing something he enjoyed, deer hunting
-discovering that taking Prozac is NOT recommended and to be avoided at all costs!
-the loss of a motorcycling great, Gary Nixon
-finding out that having problems of the four wheeled type are costly to get fixed
-several weeks of over 100F temps which lasted even up to 8-9PM when it should've been down in the 80s
All in all, it's been an interesting year and Bodger can only hope that the coming one will be just as interesting and even better.
So on that note......Bodger wishes one and all a Happy New Year and Hogmany! Drink a dram or two of your favorite to bring in the New Year coz Bodger and Teri will be cracking open a bottle of bubbly to celebrate
