As to me, I like to mess back on the beast, even if I take a whippin'.

Jeannie, What, no sence of adventure?

I figure if I am gonna pay I might as well play. I don't do this every day, but I did on my birth day the 30th, as I hit 58 and am racing to 60 i guess from here on out.

I was gonna take the hit anyway, so why not...?

The beast wins one, and I win one and this is how it goes.

In the past here others have called me all sorts of things for doing this here, and so this is just my way to deal with it.

Sorry man, but unlike others who wish to be nice about it, I don't see any reason to support someone's choice to pull the trigger. (I will support the person, but not the choice)

I don't know your situation but if you have anyone who supports you, pulling the trigger on purpose seems mean.

If you don't have supporters, why would you want to suffer extra for a beer?

Anyway, just my 2 cents for newer posters who might think they should play with the beast for fun since they are "going to get hit anyway"

I don't believe you read all the posts. If you are cutting me short so be it.

And if I am going to take ahit and know I am, I don't see what difference it makes if i have 1 beer on my Birthday.

I took the hits and I haven't even complained here once about that.. I wasn't suggesting anyone drink a frosty either.

One thing on that... I come into and go out of seasonal changes. I may get Fall Hits and I may get Spring Hits and I may not, or I may get both.

At these times, I take note of the effect of 1/2 a beer. If that causes a first of season shadow I know to stop.

1. You took the hits and didn't complain? Good for you but when you post that you do that, it has no value on a board where a new person might think it is something to do. YOU suggested earlier to test the diagnosis by drinking a beer and that is just plain dumb.

2. You said you know you are going to get hit... well, with CH you never KNOW unless you pull the trigger yourself. I missed my last cycle and this one has been a ton easier. Had I gone by your advise I might have got rocked a few times just to play with the beast.

3. You have every right to drink a beer whenever you want and Id be there to hold an icepack on your neck or change your tank for you even if you caused the hit on purpose but I will speak out at the idea of drinking anything for any reason when you KNOW it is going to cause a hit.

ANyway, if I got you wrong, I am sorry but read the quotes I quoted and I find it hard to believe you were not suggesting you occasionally drink when in cycle to play with the beast.

FramCire, You won't find me complain about much, unless it is poly tics and taxes.

Lets take this quote shall we?

" At these times, I take note of the effect of 1/2 a beer. If that causes a first of season shadow I know to stop. "

I had had CH a while before I knew 1 beer would set off a Ch and it wasn't till I found here this was a trigger I probably share will all, all who would have beer anyway.

When I first noticed a 1/2 beer would cause a shadow, to me it was useful information.

That year I had ridden a motorcycle with my wife from new Hampshire to Cal, and seemingly missed my Fall season. That was well enough, because in SD I crashed and had broken ribs, and just picked up my mess and continued riding west.

Maybe the drier weather had something to do with no CH, I can't say.

On the return trip east it went to Fla, and back north west to Arkansas. We winter there, and in Spring one afternoon I was having a beer, and it was 1/2 gone and I got a shadow.

Like I said it was the first sign of what was to come and so i could expect it. O2 in Arkansas was not an option, nor was anything else, so I took those hits, and until now no one ever knew.

Not usefull info?

It's nice you might hold an ice pack to my head and or change the regulator on my tank, but I don't need you too, anymore than you need me to, but I also would.

Getting 'rocked' isn't something I ever do. Not ever.. No day happens where I will have more than 2, and no day I ride will have any. While we probably are not much alike, I have my rules and therfore my limits.

Not much else i do, would be like you or anyone else either. The things in life I value are not the things most people value much.

Lets see what else ??

NO, I forgot nothing, my friend. I said what I had to say, you replied and I thought enough had been said on the topic. I wished you a good night as my way of ending the discussion as I didn't see any need for more conversation on that topic.

I don't think we are at odds. We discussed a topic and came to an end. I look forward to the next time we speak.

As I said, have a great night.

Ok, now maybe I am the fool, but I will take this last as from the heart.. I may not be the most educated guy that ever walked the land, but I generally speak from the heart.

Life is what it is, and you won't find me complaining..

I adapt, make do, or go with out. I don't go with out much.

This leads to looking at things in other ways because $$$ and me never seem to go hand in hand.

A real short example is i was downed with back problems which lead to 1,095 days of living in a tee pee the last year totally off the land. Saw -50 below 0, and never complained once. Maybe because no one else was there .... Grin

Sounds like you have had a very interesting life, Mac.

LOL, Others say that, while I think this is just adventure.. I didn't set out to go live in a tee pee, it just happened because I ended up with no place else to go.

My life is like a train wreck, and like any train wreck interesting things happen.

Oct 04, my wife was rear ended in her little ford escort, by a full sized Chevy Blazer. I was at a French and Indian War re-enactment in NY at Lk George. I felt something and left on day 3 of 10, for home, to find the above.

Shortly after that I came down phneumonia, which got to be whooping cough. We had been looking for a first cottage to buy, but it wasn't meant to be. Every place by pen stroke went to be worth more than $100,000.00, and so this little cottage with out so much as a new nail went from $33,000 to $165,000.00 over one night.

While I was sick, and didn't know myself from a head of cabbage, I told my wife a dream I had at 16. That was i wanted to ride a motorcycle across the USA.

When i came back to being me, she told me and was all for the idea, and asked if she could go Embarrassed

I said yeah sure, why not.... SO we did. We packed up the apt and got a bigger bike than I had, while I built a trailer suitable for such a long tour. I even had one back pack of clothing for the year 1805, incase we found a Lewis and Clark event to attend. That was complete with a flint lock rife 52.5 inches long.

Well we made it to Sturgis, and I ended up crashing on Pine Ridge. I believe the trailer jumped the hitch as I have no other way to explain that crash. We were on a loose gravel road, and the rea end suddenly began to slap side to side at 15 mph..

Boom.. down we went an my wife was cut to the bone on her right elbow. I drove my right elbow into my ribs and broke 3 of them.

That caused a lot of little adventures too, but we made it to cali anyway, and then all the way back east. I don't believe in maps much, so back east ended in Fla.. I got lost after that and ended up in Arkansas.

Probably I am the only rider to crash halfway across the country then to ride it broken and back again, but that's what we did.

Got clusters in Ar too, and had no way to deal with them but just take what was coming.

My whole life revolves around being out somewhere, doing things and learning things from the past.

Jeannie, Don't worry about what I think, and I wouldn't say you were rude either. I have a pretty thick hide anyway.

I don't see people often other than my wife and our landlord, in which we all share a house.

When I do see others, they are pretty much Buck Skinners, or French and Indian War historical living re-enactors, and last Bikers.

I thought to delete my reply, but that isn''t anything I do normally.

What ever I post be it good or bad I leave it. I am fairly direct in the way I live. Never fear me though..
