"Life is short - Have some fun."

True. Have fun while you can, cuz what's fun today may not be tomorrow.

Been hanging around bars from 1968 til 2020 when Cuomo ****ed everything up cuz some peeps got a cold, closed bars from March til June. I never thought I'd get tired of barring but I am now. Most are closed forever anyway.

Recently heard that my fav bar in the area, about 11 miles away, has reopened after the owner died a year or so ago. It's a great neighborhood bar in a small village; good bar food.

Young guy who tended bar there apparently bought it. Great kid, haven't been there yet, will do so soon. My sis and her hubby want to go -- we used to meet there every month or so but haven't since the winter of 2019-2020.

Never thought I'd get tired of going on poker runs either, couldn't imagine it. But I did, last one was in May 2006 with my nephew; at some point during the day my brain just flipped, didn't want to be there so went home, and that was that. All the guys I used to ride with are scattered about, lost contact with them, none of them were with us.

Sold the Softail in 2015, don't miss it, never thought that would be possible. As you go through life your ideas may change, even though you thought they never would.

That real ID thing starts in May.

I really haven't traveled anywhere and I don't have a passport.

I just filled out the internet forms to get a copy of my original birth certificate.

Who the heck has kept thier original birth certificate with an embossed seal and thier old social security card?

Absolutely ridiculous.

We are all at the "show us your papers" stage.

How soon before we need papers to cross state lines?

I got a new passport a month ago, process went pretty quick, don't have to bother with real ID if you use the passport.
I don't have access to my original birth certificate for awhile. Do you get an embossed whatever copy with what you're doing?

To get a Real ID or passport they require both an original seal embossed birth certificate and the original social security card.

I have a birth certificate from the hospital I was born at but it's not an official state birth certificate.

I'm getting g a passport to fly because it only needs the birth certificate and not a SS card that the Real ID needs.

Vette hibernation was short this winter -- only 4 months. Salt on roads was completely washed away with Sunday's mini-storm.

I took her for a short ride yesterday then washed it, longer ride today. Every spring I am amazed how it starts after sitting in an unheated barn for usually 5 months or so. Hit the button, starts right up and idles down like I'd just ran it yesterday. All the electronics are fine WHEN THEY WORK.

Back in the day it could be a chore getting anything started that had sat that long, including motorcycles long before EFI. I'm betting newer ones with EFI start as good as modern cars.
