I decided to watch the weather today since it’s so rainy and dreary. I was hoping to see that it was going to clear up and be nice again. Well was I disappointed or what? Next week, it’s supposed to be in the 40′s at night and maybe get up to the 80′s through the day. Can you say AUTUMN IS HERE!! I used to love fall but this year, I’m not so sure about it all.
The passing of Patrick Swayze is a great loss to the entertainment business but even more than that, to his family. This man was one heck of an actor and man could he shake his butt!! That’s what he told Barbara Walters that he wanted to be remembered for. I had never seen this performance of Patrick and his wife Lisa Niemi before but it shows me just how very much they loved each other. My heart goes out to Lisa and the rest of his family. Enjoy as he would have wanted us all to.
I swear it’s either feast or famine when it comes to rain around here. We either get so much that you can’t hardly walk anywhere without stepping in water or it doesn’t rain at all for a couple of weeks.
Now we’re in a phase of just enough rain to mess up your hair and your car but not enough to really do very much good for anything else. I wish it would just go ahead and have a full out gully washer and get it over with for crying out loud.
Here I am talking about getting rain barrels and it looks like it’s about to rain. I haven’t seen the weather to know if it’s supposed to rain or not. The news is just too depressing to even watch for the weather. I just take my chances. If it looks like rain, I’m covered because I always have an umbrella in my car. In fact, we sort of need a little rain so hopefully it will do just that.
See, this is what I was talking about in my earlier post with the video on it. People have just got to pay more attention to motorcycles on the road. This is another example of a life cut short because someone didn’t see him.
Bruce Rossmeyer, America’s largest Harley Davidson dealer and well regarded supporter and sponsor of the motorcycle community was killed earlier today in a motorcycle accident in Wyoming.
Rossmeyer was riding in a group of five motorcyclists when they attempted to pull pass an SUV with a trailer. Rossmeyer was the last in line and was killed when the SUV turned left in front of him.
Rossmeyer came late to the motorcycle community, opening his first Harley dealership after “retiring” from the car industry in 1994. He success came quickly with new dealerships opened and acquired, allowing Rossmeyer to become a well known supporter and sponsor of motorcycle community events.
Among others, Rossmeyer sponsored the Buell team that fields Danny Eslick in the AMA Pro Daytona SportBike class, and he also founded events such as Biketoberfest in Daytona.
Bruce Rossmeyer is survived by his wife, five children and seven grandchildren.
