"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!"

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOO ME!"

I know, I know, Most people don't post their own birthday wishes, but when you have no family, say to say, and you're not expecting anyone to show they care, you post your feelings for the day here? do you not?
At any rate I have one thing to say , this morning I was blessed with yet another day and today I'm now 46 so there, most folk's didn't think I'd make it this long, yet here I am, so there.
I woke to my 21 year old daughter calling me while she was starting her day, and she wishing me "Happy Birthday", but it's not the same, she's not here for this one, which really hurts in a way because of all my children she's my bud.
Now, don't get me wrong, because the wife went out of her way to schedule me some kind of surprise, but it's weather permitting, and right now the weathers not permitting anything.
So I got the Harley Back up and running the other day, sorry I didn't check back in with y'all , but it was simple and I repaired it in a matter of moments, seemed it was just a simple relay and "BAM" , "PUFF" was back up and running strong.
I also took some time and fixed the trip  re-set button which was simple too, and I found out I have over 37 K on my bike already, after 2 years of ownership, that's almost 18 k a year, not to shabby for a guy with a bad back and hip problems, but hey you've got to do what you've got to do.
 My Harley is our only mode of transportation, and with gas prices here through the roof, then hey why not right? Cut back and save as much money as you can right?
This Bike is really a great bike for running around town, if I had to hit the big roads, I'd sign up for a bigger bike, but with this ones low profile and the fact I can actually get my leg over it, I ride it still, if I had to go any bigger, I think I'd have to give it up, as my back just won't take it. This would really effect my life, as riding my bike is all I have, I can not, and will not ride in a car, as it effects my injury so bad, I hurt for days after riding in a car, it really sucks, and that's all I'm gonna say, as I could say so much more, I'm certain, but you really don't need to hear that from me.

Now Back to the Birthday wishes, My Brother Dave who is working today stopped long enough to put a call into me and said "Happy Birthday " as well, this too is great.
I can't wait for my surprise weather permitting tonight from the wife, and then I guess we're gonna ride over and see the fireworks over at Epcot to top off our night, so talk about a great Birthday, well here it is, The Bikes back up and running, my two shots in my back have ME back up and running, with the help of a hand full of pain killers, as well, and now my night continues, so I'll end with simply this,

Make it a Great Day Folk's !
As I'm certainly gonna,
"God Bless"
