Hey, I wrote about the economy, then the Week magazine hit our mail box. The subtitle read, “A surge in hiring finally sparks economic optimism.” Amazing. The Labor Department job report indicated that employers added a net of 243,000 jobs last month. Unemployment dropped to 8.3 percent. That’s good goddamn news. So, I’ll keep my […]

Hey, This is going to be very quick. I promise myself not to plan anything on Sundays, but you know exactly how that goes, with guests, events, women, and whiskey. There’s always something.

Hey, I realize the two most important games of the season are being played today, so I need to make this quick. Get this: The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will test employees at over 100 airports for radiation. No, they won’t test subject passengers or the machines. “We still have no idea how much radiation

Hey, In this down economy opportunities surface. Take for instance this little company 5-Ball Inc. and all the projects we have in store for 2012 with Sturgis, Bonneville, bike building, site building, more books, you name it.

Hey, This is going to be damn short. I’m packing to fly to Vegas for the OCC/Jesse build off. Pilgrim Studios asked me to be a judge. In the fine print they call me a critic. Should be interesting. Can I ride each bike around chilly Vegas. Don’t you think a road test should be

Hey, Another amazing day in paradise. I woke up this morning feeling like I was attacked by the hangover king, but I had one short Jack on the rocks last night and watched an amazing 1940 Rita Hayworth movie. The movie was written, produced, and directed by the same guy. Amazing, what folks can do,

Hey, Damn, we’re slamming directly into the holidays once more. The weather has gone to shit in big chunks of the country, and the bastards turned the clocks back, so it will get darker earlier. How does that make sense? We need more light in the winter. Ah, but we always have the Sunday Post

Hey, Strange times we’re living through. It’s interesting, and I hope the government can get past all the hindering regulations and remember what this country was based on– freedoms not restrictions.

Hey, Life is nuts and so is the news. Get this, the Post office is about cooked. They need to downsize or they will be out of business. They just don’t compete anymore with e-mail, UPS, or Fedex. They can’t pay the 5.5 billion dollar payment to fund future retirees’ healthcare benefits. Seems Congress has
