Bathrooms
Not motorcycle related, but had to share.....
Remember that old post I did with the really cool ceiling mural in a smokers lounge and also the mural on the bathroom floor that made you look like you were floating in the sky? And Oh yeah, there was also that one way glass bathroom in that post too.
Click Here for a link to that old post to refresh your memory.
I don't know what it is about bathrooms and me, but for some reason, I find, or get sent cool bathroom stuff that I just gotta share.
Scroll down for a potty you'd never forget.

MC invites animal rights activist to "Party"
Johnstown, PA (GlossyNews) – Local and state police scoured the hills outside rural Johnstown, Pennsylvania, after reports of three animal rights activists going missing after attempting to protest the wearing of leather at a large motorcycle gang rally this weekend. Two others, previously reported missing, were discovered by fast food workers “duct taped inside several fast food restaurant dumpsters,” according to police officials.
“Something just went wrong,” said a still visibly shaken organizer of the protest. “Something just went horribly, horribly, wrong.”
The organizer said a group of concerned animal rights activist groups, “growing tired of throwing fake blood and shouting profanities at older women wearing leather or fur coats,” decided to protest the annual motorcycle club event “in a hope to show them our outrage at their wanton use of leather in their clothing and motor bike seats.” “In fact,” said the organizer, “motorcycle gangs are one of the biggest abusers of wearing leather, and we decided it was high time that we let them know that we disagree with them using it…ergo, they should stop.”
According to witnesses, protesters arrived at the event in a vintage 1960’s era Volkswagen van and began to pelt the gang members with balloons filled with red colored water, simulating blood, and shouting “you’re murderers” to passers by. This, evidently, is when the brouhaha began.
“They peed on me!!!” charged one activist. “They grabbed me, said I looked like I was French, started calling me ‘La Trene’, and duct taped me to a tree so they could pee on me all day!”
“I…I was trying to show my outrage at a man with a heavy leather jacket, and he…he didn’t even care. I called him a murderer, and all he said was, ‘You can’t prove that.’ Next thing I know he forced me to ride on the back of his motorcycle all day, and would not let me off, because his girl friend was out of town and I was almost a woman.”
Still others claimed they were forced to eat hamburgers and hot dogs under duress. Those who resisted were allegedly held down while several bikers “farted on their heads.”
Police officials declined comments on any leads or arrests due to the ongoing nature of the investigation, however, organizers for the motorcycle club rally expressed “surprise” at the allegations.
“That’s preposterous,” said one high-ranking member of the biker organizing committee. “We were having a party, and these people showed up and were very rude to us. They threw things at us, called us names, and tried to ruin the entire event. So, what did we do? We invited them to the party! What could be more friendly than that? You know, just because we are all members of motorcycle clubs does not mean we do not care about inclusiveness. Personally, I think it shows a lack of character for them to be saying such nasty things about us after we bent over backwards to make them feel welcome.”
When confronted with the allegations of force-feeding the activists meat, using them as ad hoc latrines, leaving them incapacitated in fast food restaurant dumpsters, and ‘farting on their heads,’ the organizer declined to comment in detail. “That’s just our secret handshake,” assured the organizer.

My "Special" Cat
Not related to motorcycles, but had to share. Too cute!
This is a video of one of my two cats acting "Special". It was hard to capture. Usually when he knows someone is watching him drinking water this way, He quits. At the end of the video, when I call his name and ask him what he is doing, He realizes he's been busted and immediately stops.
He does drink water normally too. This is just one of the many endearing qualities of his perscatonality. Its what he does when he thinks no one is watching. What a goomba.
Ever catch one of your pets acting "Special"?

passing time
I seem to have mellowed a bit more with each passing year. Maybe I'm getting older, and a bit wiser. Life sure seems better viewing it as an optimist, rather than living life through the eyes of a pessimist. With the arrival of winter each year, I realize I have to put the bike away for the season, but this only brings up a new season of thrills and beauty to come. I have come to accept that to live in Minnesota you have to learn to Love ALL 4 seasons. If you don't 3-4 months out of the year, you could potentially find yourself pretty miserable. Winter is just a thing we have to deal with. I've learned the more I go at it with this kind of attitude, the less the snow and cold seems to bother me. I love to ice fish. I love and appreciate the beauty of winter landscapes. I love snow on Christmas, and I like to snowmobile and downhill ski once in a while.
I don't ski wussy hills like the one pictured below, but had to take a picture of the run's sign while I was on my way to the double black diamond runs.
How could you pass up a name like Harley's Hollow?
Keep smiling. Spring isn't too far away.

Annual De-lurker day.
You know who you are, You anonymous readers who never comment.
Leave me a comment with you name if you are guilty, or even if you are not!
Art or is it?
I Thought this was kind of cool, and figured this was Blogable. I see it quite often. There is a distinct reverse image of the Harley Davidson Bar and Shield Logo left on one of my favorite chairs.
Its like unintentional art.
Its kind of like carving your name into a picnic table as a kid and leaving your mark.
Every time I wear a certain Harley shirt, and sit in this particular micro-fiber chair, I leave a temporary sign that says, "I was there."
Art, or is it?

Hope you all had a fabulous holiday season!
Still alive and kickin. Can't wait to see what this new year will bring.
Last year was a Helluva RIDE!

In loving memory of Cy, 11-15-2009
It is with great sadness that I tell you I lost my best furry friend in the whole world on 11-15-09.
My wife and I were grocery shopping, and gone for only about 1 1/2 hours and returned to my beloved "Puppy Cy" passed away on the family room floor. Cause of death unknown , but we can assume a heart attack. He was diagnosed with a heart murmur, his only medical flaw.
I don't want to go into saying much more, because as I write this my heart is breaking. My wife wrote a beautiful tribute to him on the RAGOM (Retrieve A Golden Of Minnesota) Website on their Rainbow Bridge Memorials.
Here is the link to: Cy's Memorial
The first part is his story, which goes through 12-07-08, the day we adopted him.
12-09-09 is where the memorial starts.
He was the best dog. I miss him dearly.

Guys, please consider the following and remember this piece of wisdom.
If after a long day, you are tired and looking forward to seeing your woman.
No matter how sexy she is...
No matter how seductive she is...
No matter how cute and sweet she is...
No matter how huge her melons are......................
Shit, I forgot what I was going to say.
Sons Of Anarchy Season 2 episode 12 review
Episode 12 starts out a little something like this....
The Son's, friends, and family of the Son's are all packing up and heading to the Clubhouse to take shelter. Looks like there is some serious shit going to be happening soon. They lock the gates and have armed guards on the rooftops.
The Club talks about protecting Chib's family. They say they will protect Keri-ann, and that he should reach out to Fiona and try to get her in as a precaution.
They talk about convincing Jimmy that Cameron and Edmund have been under the ATF's thumb, it should be enough to convince the IRA the betrayal is in house. They are going to pull the old bait and switch to get their guns. (Later on in the episode, they successfully pull it off too. This REALLY pisses off the Feds., especially Stahl.) They discuss patching in Half Sack. Clay says, "Half a sack, Shitload of Balls".
Jax, Opie and Juice pay a visit to A.J. Weston. Jax tells him "Seems your great white hope only gives a shit about one color.... Green. Zobel is dealing heroine with the Myans." Opie tells him, "Those A.K.'s that you took from us, He gave em to brown. Control the street." A.J. says, "You're talking out of your ass." Jax tells him, "I followed Zobel and one of his guys. They met with Alvarez. Left with a duffle full of heroine." Juice jumps in and says, "Guess they ben keeping you outa the loop. Lotsa private meetings A.J." Jax says, "You being the true believer and all.
Chib's and Fiona have a private meeting in a bathroom. Chibs informs her that the Feds will be closing in on Jimmy, and it may blow back. Fiona asks him if he ratted, and he says no. They makeout and the scene cuts. We never know for sure if they do it or not, you are just left wonderin.
Polly Zobelle pays a visit to Edmund Hayes. They of course get it on. She leaves. The Feds are watching the place and come in to pay a visit to Edmund after she is gone.
Gemma and Tara are talking in the clubhouse. A chick comes up to fill her coffe. Tara said she could get it herself. Gemma said she needs to take that respect. She's earned it. She is not just some CROW eater. She is Jax Teller's Ol' Lady. That means something in this town and this clubhouse, and you don't take shit from anyone.
SAMCRO has a meeting with Henri Lin (Chineese Triad) and Laroy (One-Niners) to make a deal that they all work together; not a partnership but an understanding. They stop Zobelle, then the Myan's loose their guns and their power. Zobelle's been running on the hard earned drug money of theirs, so they will all work together to take back what's theirs, with a little extra. Take out the Myan's and split up their territory. Triad gets everything south of Ghost Town and One-Niners get everything North. Friendly borders means they can focus on business, instead of staying alive. "Agreed".
A.J. Weston walks into the warehouse. See's guns in a crate open, with a bunch missing. Walks around the corner to see a couple of Mexican women bagging heroin and blows the two of them away. Sees one of his own guys, Ule from the League Of American Nationalists (L.O.A.N.) and points the gun at him. Ule says, "This is sanctioned. Zobelle knows all about this I swear." A.J. says, "Where are the guns?", and Ule replies, "The Mexicans. Don't be...." (KAPOW! Shot to the head).....Game over!
Good O'l Chuckie is still around. He tells thee club that he could identify Weston as one of the perps involved in the Arson of Cara Cara.
A.J. Storms in on the Cigar shop while Ethan Zobelle and his daughter Polly Zobelle are talking. A.J.'s pointing his gun at Ethan and confronts him. They argue about the cause, and the big picture, and being a trader. Eventually A.J. and gang leave. Ethan tells Polly to call Hale for protection as someone has threatened their lives. Ethan is going to secure new protection. He kisses Polly godbye. It was really GROSS! Like lover's kiss. Eew.
Cliffy and Duke, A.J. Weston's two boys are being taken away from A.J. for now because they were home alone unsupervised with the guns. This was set up by Jax to piss off A.J. Jax and A.J. have a stand down in the street about this and this is when Jax sets up the fight between Son's and the L.O.A.N.
Chuckie talks to the Charming P.D. and tells them about A.J. Weston being involved in the Cara Cara Arson case.
Gemma and Tara talk. Gemma is a little more at peace now. She knows what her job here on earth is. God want's her to be a fierce mother; that's her path. She tells Tara her job is medicine, to be a healer; and nothing should ever stop her from doing that. Wait'll you get a load of what Tara does with that piece of information after she chews on it for a while.
Tara is sitting at a desk completing her charts and explaining this to the administrator, Margaret Murphy. Margaret tells her she should have had them done already. Tara says she knows. The bitch says that she may not have to worry about paperwork after next week. Tara says some shit to her and verbally nails her. After Margaret retorts with a comment about Tara's true colors and "her biker whore (Gemma) that she ......." Then Tara snaps, and gets up to choke her. She say's, "You don't know her, You don't know any of them." and releases the choke hold. Margaret says, "Oh, my gosh! You hit me. You are finished. I'm calling security. This is assault."
Tara shoves her backwards slamming her into a wall shelf unit, and proceeds to say, "No... (PUNCH TO THE FACE), That's assault". Then Tara proceeds to tell her that SAMCRO has Charming PD on payroll and she knows where she lives. If she doesn't drop this bogus charge on her she is gonna come after her and her family. (Holly shit was I pumped after that. I think I have rewound that seen at least 6 times now. Can't get enough. Go Tara!)
The club goes out and has their fight. This was supposed to be an unarmed fight. Of course as expected, The L.O.A.N show up armed. The Son's have Backup too. The Triad and the One-Niners are both backing them fully armed. They agree to fight no guns. The cops show up. People scootin every which way trying to get out.
A.J. gets arrested for Arson. The rest leave.
Unser relieves the other two cops who were watching Impeccable Smokes. SAMCRO shows up too. They have Ethan Zobelle at gunpoint when Hale shows up. Unser is about to let what happens happen, but Hale isn't about to let it be that way. Ethan saves his own ass with his daughter by admitting that they have heroine behind the counter. The cops find it and Ethan demands that they be arrested. Charming P.D. abide to the arrest request. On the way out, Jax tells Ethan, "We're gonna kill you."
The show fades out to the music "If someday never comes......"
Wow, oh Fucking Wow!
Season 2, Episode 13 Season Finale review coming up next!

TOOLS EXPLAINED
At lot of bikers, biker's spouses, significant others are handy, or know someone who is, or at least thinks they are, therefore we can all relate to some of these. Some of us maybe more than others. (You know who you are.) Enjoy!
DRILL PRESS:
A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted project which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it.
WIRE WHEEL:
Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in about the time it takes you to say, "Oh, shit!"
SKILL SAW:
A portable cutting tool used to make studs too short.
PLIERS:
Used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of blood-blisters.
BELT SANDER:
An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-up jobs into major refinishing jobs.
HACKSAW:
One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle... It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes.
VISE-GRIPS:
Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand.
OXYACETYLENE TORCH:
Used almost entirely for lighting various flammable objects in your shop on fire. Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub out of which you want to remove a bearing race.
TABLE SAW:
A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood projectiles for testing wall integrity.
HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK:
Used for lowering an automobile to the ground after you have installed your new brake shoes, trapping the jack handle firmly under the bumper.
BAND SAW:
A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut good aluminum sheet into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash can after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge.
TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST:
A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of everything you forgot to disconnect.
PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER:
Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or for opening old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil on your shirt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw heads.
STRAIGHT SCREWDRIVER:
A tool for opening paint cans. Sometimes used to convert common slotted screws into non-removable screws and butchering your palms.
PRY BAR:
A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50 cent part.
HOSE CUTTER:
A tool used to make hoses too short.
HAMMER: That BMF
Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit.
UTILITY KNIFE:
Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on contents such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines, refund checks, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes, but only while in use.
Son of a bitch TOOL:
Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while yelling "Son of a bitch" at the top of your lungs. It is also, most often, the next tool that you will need.

Who is Ethan Zobel's Daughter you ask?
Photo above was obviously borrowed from LIFE Magazine.
I've gotten a lot of questions from readers as to who is Ethan Zobel's daughter Polly Zobel played by?
For those of you who want to know, she is Sara Jones.
Now stop gawking and get back to work!
B.T.W. Proper spelling is Zobelle., but most questions have come with spelling of Zobel, so that's how I posted this one.
