Not much of an update

I missed the April monthly meeting due to circumstances beyond my control, so I am struggling to get caught up.

Doug Mountjoy presided over the meeting, and asked one of the members to take notes so we would have minutes to record and send out, but he can't remember who he asked. If you were the lucky transcriber, please email what you ended up with to Doug so we can fill in the huge blank spot for April.

If anyone who attended the meet-up at Little Creek would like to write up a blurb about that, it would be greatly appreciated. That can be shared at the Yahoo Group, which is beginning to see more participation each week. Timm Gleason worked up some ideas for our logo, and posted the files in the group area for all to see and comment on. If you aren't in the habit of visiting the group, please make it a point to do so.

President Pete and WingNut (John Galle) made the trek from Port Townsend to Port Orchard on Wednesday past to visit, and I met them for dinner at Los Cabos. Doug showed up and invited us to check out his new home which is floating dockside at the marina. His garage isn't very big, but the sailboat is a beauty.

I noticed this morning (too late) that Chris Scott put out an invite on the group for anyone interested to join him in a ride to Tacoma for the Hot Rod and Bike Show today. I hope someone joined him as it has been an awesome day for riding.

That's it for now...stay safe.

The smell of leather...

Pete recently talked to the VP for Chapter 154, and some Dealership Visit Rides are in the works. This will give all of us an opportunity to get some face time with other Chapters, and show some support for the dealerships that are sponsoring our organization.

We are trying to figure out how to get some interaction on our Yahoo Group with members from all the other WA Chapters, and that will, hopefully, happen soon.

In the meantime, here are some links to visit often:

Are we having fun yet?

The meet-up at Clearwater was attended by Pete, Sue, Greg, Diana, and Richard who all banded together to enjoy the all-you-can-eat buffet. Greg and Diana were the only ones who cycled in, but we all enjoyed the meet-up.

We had one member who rode to the casino for the meet-up, but had the get there time as 1:00 PM. He arrived early and left before the rest of us set up camp at the front entrance. He was understandably upset that he missed the rest of us, and I also wish it had been otherwise. We do what we can to get the right info out there, but I doubt this will be the last cross-up we have. All I can say is…check the blog and the Yahoo Group a day or two in advance of each event to verify the times and places. It will ALWAYS be in writing at one or both places.

Each of us has to take some responsibility for knowing what is going on. There will be times when the verbal information given out at a meeting is incorrect, and the best venue we have to make corrections is the distribution list, as well as the blog and Yahoo Group. If you have any doubt about an issue or event, check with some of the other members until you are satisfied that you have the correct info.

In the meantime, keep the rubber on the road and the shiny side up.

Reminder

Meet-up at Clearwater Casino for lunch/coffee/whatever at 2:00PM.

Ride or drive (whatever the weather dictates), but we look forward to your wonderful company. Stay safe...
