"Kevlar" (a cone side story)

once upon a time 

or about two years ago

...

there was an ad on craigslist 

raining the day i got it in redwood city

buddy Spade George let me store it at his shop ("The Hole in the Wall" in redwood city) for the night

...

didnt wanna ride for an hour and a half in the rain since i just got it and didnt know if it would even make it home

 the moment i got it to the house

i started tearing into it to get rid of all the gay stuff

needed a seat for quite a while

cut the couch off of the pan

took an angle grinder to it til i got the shape i wanted

ran it like that for a couple months

Brian made some cool bars

Frank donated a tank, boards, and a decent head light

and the both of them hooked me up with a fender and plate/light mount

got me some boots and painted the pipes

(shoulda left them chrome-live and learn)

on the way to mom's for 2010 thanksgiving dinner

...

it just shut off on me about three miles from her house

...

i was a tad bit late for dinner

everything that was cool on it Frank and Brian did

not that i was ungrateful, i just took the opportunity afforded me by the busted motor to make it "mine"

...

trying out some apes

 bagger front fender 

cutout for the plate

thought it was about time somebody stole something from harley for a change

they've been ripping us off for years

police car spotlight

(kept Brian's bars-too sic to let go)

slapped the motor back together

how to beat holiday depression

the Christmas season isn't always the best time of year for a lot of people

especially now

(you know with economy and all)

with a wife and three girls, i understand how tough it can be 

im hoping to just be able to get them one thing each this year

with the old lady laid off, its enough just trying to keep the rent paid

(let alone the lights, water, garbage, food, and gas)

its hard 

it really sucks when you lose a loved one that you would normally celebrate with.

when the season rolls around, and that loved one is gone, it can be really hard.

this is a pic of me and some friends serving with our local church

my church has a program where we help out less fortunate families with groceries and all around every day needs

the cure for getting over your circumstances and the mood it brings, is perspective

when you help folks that have it just as bad (if not worse) than you, you're on your way to renewing a thankful heart

your situation may not change, but your attitude will definitely improve

and a many times, THAT'S half the battle

Jesus is the reason for the season,

God bless you and your loved ones
