Hey Everyone,
I am probably best known for being an Auto Detailing Enthusiast, but when I actually put down my bottle of wax, and hang up my Microfiber rag, , I am an avid music lover, which I got from my Mom. I never learned to read music, and instead taught myself to play the Piano by ear. I have a Roland keyboard that I play around with now and then, and even do a little composing. I also love art , and do some sketching, and drawing from time to time. Anyways, that is what floats my boat! How about you?

While I'm still working, I use my Monday off to coordinate a free clinic; and work it sometimes 3 nights a week.  But, I also play as much golf as I can when my arms aren't sore from detailing the PTs. So, I guess I should be looking for some protective film for the stray golf balls! ;D |

Well being that I am unemployed at this particular time....I spend my days running around doing various and sundry things...any chance I get to putt around in my PT Cruiser is a good day!! But, we also ride Harleys, so the wind in our face when the weather permits works for us.

Hey Sharron, A Hard Core Biker....Too Cool! When I turned 16 I inherited an old, beat, bare bones Triumph from my older brother which became my ride for High School, and anything, and everything in between! Then Momma and the kids came along, and their went my bike, but I miss it a lot! Actually at one time back when I ran my Detail Shop down in Poway I was working on saving up to buy another one, but my Business Partner wanted to expand to new territory, and I was getting burned out with having to fight with Automotive Dealerships over cutting costs to meet budgets on tight deadlines, so I sold my part of the Business, and instead of buying my Dream Bike, I wound up getting my CDL, and hitting the road to see the Country like my old man! Of course my cancellation prise was three times to Sturges, and twice to Datona for Bike week, so I can't complain! Heres a pic of a real young me in front of my old Peterbelt which I got with 1000 miles on it, and traded her off at 778,930 miles through 49 states, and most of Canada. Man I had fun in that truck, and it was in that truck that, since I liked to run at night a lot of the time, I used to carry a couple bars of chocolate as 1 Hershey Bar = 2 cups of coffee caffeine wise, and so I got in the habit of always having a candy bar in my pocket, and one on my dash, so the guys dubbed me the Candyman!

Great pic "Candyman"...my ex was an owner operator for awhile and then drove for Werner Enterprises out of Omaha, but he is a railroader at heart (over 30 yrs) so he went back to what he loved best and good for me, cause now I get RR retirement...LOL!! We love riding and come the 1st week in March, he is buying a brand new Street Glide, fully loaded...so we will be doing more traveling with a much better ride!
But my PT Cruiser will always be the ride for me!!

Hey kids....My spare time is pretty much a combination of upkeep around the house, my more artistic side and my constant obsession with researching music and artist. Hubby is a real outdoorsman, which means he and the dog bring the outdoors IN with them a lot, THUS the upkeep. But I'm always looking for projects. So now, Butch's "extra" room has gone from being a messed up storage room for old bows, reloading stuff, sleeping bags and old fishing/water ski equip, to a workout room. We cleaned it out and put padded rubber squares down and now I'm starting to draw up some murals that will go on the walls, around the snow skis, hunting pics and water skis and pics. So I'm hoping it will come out as good as it looks in my brain!  ...  I'm the organizer around here, and that's a hobby of sorts. I also play Butch's Hohner 6 or my Tachamine 12 string and sing like I'm in the shower.  (I used to sing alot when I was younger, Bluegrass and Classic Rock stuff, but shyness hit me in my old age.  Now....it's interesting some of us have been into motorcycles. Here's one of those "I sure wish I still had it!" deals!!!! In 1977, my first husband and I bought a 1956 Harley Sportster, and we had for awhile and it was so fun! It was black w/ multi colored flames and the whole bit. We took it to K&N Motorcycles in Tulsa to get some stuff done to it. 5 days after we got it back, it disappeared! Gone. Vamoose.   So that's the one I wish I still had, they are worth more than me now, I think!!! |

Hey their Lanette, Way Cool! Another Biker! Yup they are worth a few bucks today! Here is the bike I really really wanted big time! They had one identical to this used at Iron Horse in Kansas City for $64,000 used. Same Candy Tangerine over Black paint, air ride suspension to drop it to the frame with no stand, 116HP S&S Motor, the works! I checked in with Big Bear Choppers on a cost to reproduce it, which turned out to be in the neighborhood of what I payed for my house!   Candyman |
