sturgis 2012! am i crazy?

www pic i adore. she's just missing a teal bike! :)

(insert bob and ms m jumping and waving in pic background); i'd love a cold lemonade please, and i must say your green latex is gorgeous (flashback, i had one in red, ahhh to be young again)! it compliments your hair too! hey, any chance i get points for riding here solo? can i get the lemonade on the house? ;)

this is it. this year ive spent big bucks for cincos recovery over "leather and lilies"! (thanks ladyR)! and, equally big bucks spent towing / repairing my baby (a few times over, all because he wasn't fixed right the first time). and unfortunately that's just the tip of the iceberg that has careened into me! sigh... 

STURGIS! come hell or high water! i have to go be free! and if i have to cancel this ride again, it will f'ing kill me.

i'm especially on a mission to check out the vendor(s) area. i have a plan, things are happening, and i have to see it to make bigger things work.

i cant afford this. cinco doesn't travel on the bike. the timing sucks. fuck it. im going anyway. i have to.  

so the subway dollar menu and cheap camping will be the name of the game.

i'll put up my hobo budget as soon as i have it.



eight of swords; self-imprisonment, censure, sickness, blindfolded and bound, surrounded with eight swords, with freedom only attainable if you choose to acknowledge the cinder cone stirring to life and release yourself of inner struggle.

CINCO de mayo 2012!

happy supermoon 2012
happy CINCO de mayo
happy birthday to my 2 year old partner in crime!

YAY CINCO, thank you for sticking around and getting healthy again!
i love you, my sweet gorgeous boy.
cheers little one! happy birthday my cinco! heres to 20 more years baby!

where does your bike live?

lets see if this tells our recent story well enough...

 

im so so thankful for my boys...what a month! but finally now they are all back home where they belong :)

no lilies for kitties

cinco, you should have told me you're a vegetarian.
you didn't have to go for the bright poisonous flower baby... 
no lilies for kitties, dammit, they're like bright venomous animals in the wild, they're not safe.
too bad your mommy had no clue. it was almost too late...

ah the birthday bouquet. i put it 14 feet up, upon a little niche at the ceiling line, completely away from any and every thing. thinking there's no way little one could get up there. having no idea a flower within the bunch was toxic, just a moms sneaking suspicion that cinco might want the green tasty stuff if in reach.

i found cinco sucking on a petal as i was on my way out the door to work. quickly ID'ing the criminal lily online i learned it's a kitty killer. shit! and there's too many lilies to tell them apart. shit! called the vet and then emergency, cinco was sent straight to ER. shit! followed was the wrath of incredibly fast aggressive poison control action upon him within the hour ~ and tests confirmed renal failure had already set in :( shit...

a few days (and dollars) later, my little one is back home, and he'll be ok. YAY! his kidneys are 100% normal again! his liver is not 100%, but he's showing fast improvement, and dr's believe he will completely recover due to quick (seriously within the hour quick) action. well im just happy he's still here, we can live on RX liver food if needed, no prob! he's my kick ass monster trooper. now that he's home, and now that he's let me know he was pissed, he is starting to return to his good old normal hyper territorial self. that's my cinco. my love bug. and im thankful.

Cinco and i are grateful for the quick action of Dr Cheryl Ramos, DVM. Director of Emergency Services @ Vet Care in Dublin, Ca. Without her and her staff's direction and immediate action, cinco would not be here. Thank you Dr Ramos, you rock!

**a word of caution, its easter lily season. please use caution if children or pets are nearby! many countries put up warnings in floral areas; signs, stickers, banners, anything that will bring attention to toxic plants and flowers so that buyers beware. why don't we do that here in the USA? where are the warnings? signs? what the hell is with our labeling and lack thereof? ...cinco and i would like to know...

ps, cinco says; like my poodle cut? pffftt damn, thanks mom ;)

this was my test run home. im now shaved from cath's on both legs and more around the neck. sigh mom, no paparazzi!

 happy easter everyone! be safe and enjoy...

identity f'ing theft

www pic

i know who you are.
i know where you are.
and that you have a young boy. is that your son? 
i even have your phone numbers...and your middle name... 
i learned you seem to have some ring going.
wow, thats some slick service you provide, mr mail forwarding man.
hows that business of yours doing?
i hope you cashed out today.

im not afraid of no needles in a haystack, instead i dig in for a challenge. 
especially when im pissed off and its personal.
in less than 5 minutes i not only tracked your ass...
but i also proved that your intrastate, interstate, and international wire and mail fraud too.
seems you are a busy busy boy. 

ive turned all that info over; to the bank, to merchant fraud services, the cops, the feds.
see you made me a little busier than you.

and as soon as i know your ass is down i'll be blasting all your info all over the fucking net.
because i will have your head on a cheap rusty platter. 

i had a few cents left to my name i guess. thanks for taking care of those for me.
fucker.
i hope you gave your kid a kiss goodnight. 
because beware, kisses in jail are no fun and karma's a bigger fucking bitch than me.

now for my twisted entertainment, cause i need it today, here's kermy...


:(

you're so fucking weird mom

its called p.m.s. cinco; parked motorcycle syndrome

www.cycle-ergo.com rocks!

have questions about size? height? position? ;) 
well i came across the coolest website for physically challenged and shorties, like me! :)
ive gotta share it! it was mentioned in a comment somewhere recently, maybe by trobairitz?..
check out cycle-ergo! click here...   

this is a great resource for anyone dealing with posture, height, or fit concerns.
their website uses bike and scooter stock settings which you can slightly modify, and, you can view several models simultaneously.
see, check my profile out on two very different bikes. 
its super cool! i'll tell ya, since being turned on to this site, with an at need basis, i've been referring people to it like crazy...
go see for yourself! play with it..and enjoy... http://cycle-ergo.com/
