Eat that fish the same day?  Best I ever had was cooked over a fire the same day it was caught on the beach at Cape Hatteras.  Gawd it was fun deep-sea fishing.

Nah, it’s a bass but if one did the best way to cook it is bake it for 1 hour on a pine board at 450 degrees. Remove from the oven and eat the board after throwing out the fish😂

What a great post! Wonder why we didn't think of this before. Anyhow, here I am. In 1991 getting ready for my first jump out of a perfect airplane.




Anyone who would jump out of a perfectly good airplane can't be all bad.  :grin:  Where was that taken?

Here's one from a few years ago of me, Nancy and Tyler. The Eldo and sidecar are gone and I'm down to two Guzzis.

First Guzzi rider I've never met and don't want to.

But I thank for your service (and know that I made this in jest). 





Still, I don't wanna ticket or go to jail.

Now that is something I can say I have never seen.  A boxer police bike, and an "assault style" weapon exposed like that.  You are either very tall or the pegs seem higher on that bike.

Actually the BMWs are the majority of police motors in Michigan. They are extremely popular. The State Police even switched a few years back. Most departments issue M4 rifles now to officers and give us a lot of active shooter training. Some departments issue an AR15 type pistol which is totally concealed in the left saddlebag. The RT is a comfortable bike. The pegs are what I call normal. It is classified as a sport touring. I think the lean angles are 49 degrees.

No helmet? I spent many years with my knees in the breeze, both static line and HALO. Way fun and got paid to boot!  :grin:

Helmets were always required for us. The Army always has to try to take the fun out of things. Like a rifle and a heavy assed rucksack, at night, in the rain from 20,000 feet. Oh, we were soldiers once, and young.  :grin: :grin:
