The Biker Chicks of Lit

[joej]

Great pics Joe....MrsJ is looking wonderful........and the ocean was nice too lol.

I really gotta get to a rally one of these times......oops forgot I need the BIKE first.

You don't really need a bike at most of the big ones, once your in the grounds, nobody who rode a bike in and who crawled in a cage
You can go enjoy yourself at most big rally's. Some of the smaller ones can get a little rough and some people get out of hand, but overall, most of the people there are just like us, real people just living life day to day.

More Delmarvea Pics.

Since the weather didn't really cooperate during the rally, we spent some time on the beach Sunday and Monday. We also took a nice ride Sunday evening. The rest of the pics are from the ride and beach.

Great Pics Joe

MrsJ was definately being brave to do that on a public(although pretty deserted) beach.

....and for the record you were MUCH braver than I would have been.

These were taken on a beach you could drive on with a permit and a 4x4 vehicle. It was Monday, so it was fairly deserted, but a couple of trucks driving by got an eye full. And there was a couple about 100yards away, and they were having the same fun and doing the same things we were doing. I did get some pics of them, but I won't post them out of respect for thier privacy.

LOL Well I'm sure you guys gave them a great show.

Well Shucks, I know everyone would have welcomed them with open arms. Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll join us themselves.

As hot as she was, I would have welcomed her something besides open arms, if you get my drift. MrsJ said he was pretty easy on the eyes as well, so who knows what she would have welcomed him with.
There plenty of trucks that got a nice eyeful.

 

[joej]

More,again from the ride and beach, but just some scenery this time.

 

[DiJiT]

LOL I think that is the best Boat Name I have ever seen. Thanks Joe

On this Eve

Hi to you Mr and Mrs J..................Season's Greetings...

as I said, one of Victoria's friends sent this to her and I though it was so appropiate to the season that I've passed on to a few friends....I wish I knew more of the vets...maybe you might want to pass it along......


The Sentry


The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.
My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.

Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,
Transforming the yard to a winter delight.
The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,
Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.

My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,
Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.
In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,
So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.

The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near,
But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear.
Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know,
Came the sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.

My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,
And I crept to the door just to see who was near.
Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,
A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight.

A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old,
Perhaps a Marine, huddled here in the cold.
Alone in the dark, he looked up and smiled,
Standing watch over me, and my wife and my child.

"What are you doing?" I asked without fear,
"Come in this moment, it's freezing out here!
Put down your pack, brush the snow from your sleeve,
You should be at home on this cold Christmas Eve!"

For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift,
Away from the cold and the snow blown in drifts..
To the window that danced with a warm fire's light
Then he sighed and he said "Its really all right,
I'm out here by choice. I'm here every night."

"It's my duty to stand at the front of the line,
That separates you from the darkest of times.
No one had to ask or beg or implore me,
I'm proud to stand here like my fathers before me.

"My Gramps died at 'Pearl on a day in December,"
Then he sighed, "That's a Christmas 'Gram always remembers."
"My dad stood his watch in the jungles of 'Nam',
And now it is my turn and so, here I am.
I've not seen my own son in more than a while,
But my wife sends me pictures, he's sure got her smile."

Then he bent and he carefully pulled from his bag,
The red, white, and blue... an American flag.

"I can live through the cold and the being alone,
Away from my family, my house, and my home.
I can stand at my post through the rain and the sleet,
I can sleep in a foxhole with little to eat.

"I can carry the weight of killing another,
Or lay down my life with my sister and brother..
Who stand at the front against any and all,
To ensure for all time that this flag will not fall."

"So go back inside," he said, "harbor no fright,
Your family is waiting and I'll be all right."
"But isn't there something I can do, at the least,
"Give you money," I asked, "or prepare you a feast?

"It seems all too little for all that you've done,
For being away from your wife and your son."

Then his eye welled a tear that held no regret,
"Just tell us you love us, and never forget.
To fight for our rights back at home while we're gone ,
To stand your own watch, no matter how long.

"For when we come home, either standing or dead,
To know you remember we fought and we bled.
Is payment enough, and with that we will trust,
That we mattered to you, as you mattered to us."



PLEASE,
Would you do me the kind favor of sending this to as many people as you can? Christmas will be coming soon and some credit is due to the men and women of our U.S. Armed Services for our being able to celebrate these festivities. Let's try in this small way to pay a tiny bit of what we owe. Make people stop and think of our heroes, living and dead, who sacrificed themselves for us.
