Oldest son just picked up another Harley, a factory S&S Road King, very nice
it’s the 2010 ‘88’ twin cam dresser But he’s changing the handlebars and exhaust
lol so, he now has 4 (or maybe 5?) at his place.
Only one is getting worked on, the rest all run good
All 3 of our sons own/ride lol but they came by it honest. My grampa, pop, and uncle all rode, i rode for decades, and taught the boys at a young age. lol They all got their first bikes while still teens.
edit… n I’m jealous! I wish I could still ride

Hell yea! Almost a bike for everyday of the week
Same here with all the family being riders. My bike was pieced together over a decade, no rush but a fun project with my pops, swap meets for the majority of the parts.
I will say I don’t ride as much since going down years ago for going too fast into a corner on my father Softail, Ruined the 20yrs old paint job. Fortunately, it wasn’t injured but definitely shook still. I only bop around now.

Spring is here, for today anyways. And tomorrow. We’re talking upper 70’s to low 80’s.
I bet tornado season is going to be a bitch this year. Better get the Buddy Hole ready.

We have been in this house 17 years. We used the Hidey Hole one time. I believe it was 2013. When the tornado ripped up El Reno. I think they said it was the widest tornado ever recorded. Anyways. After it tore up El Reno it headed East on I40 until it go close to Yukon. We live about a quarter mile South of the interstate. Near Yukon.
Yeah. There was me, Zee, my cat, the guy across the street, his wife, and three kids in my Hidey Hole. Scary shit.

I have been wanting to build a storm shelter here. But the expense of it is just more than Rob wants to spend. Would take a backhoe to dig it out and then again to fill it in. Plus a special door and steps. I figured it out to be around $5000 for a basic shelter.
Perhaps in the future…….
I think a back porch will come first, with a Barbecue and a jacuzzi.

When we built our home, we went earth contact on 3 sides. One of my wife’s uncles was an skilled bulldozer operator and that man worked the land and just sort of blended the spot for the house into it. Several people have said something like ‘you had the perfect hill for it’ when in fact all I had before his work was a cow pasture.
It would take an absolutely perfect direct hit from a tornado before I’d have much to worry about. When it is your time, welp, it’s your time to go.
