seriously, do everything you can while your still here. tomorrow is promised to no one sad to say. we have an expiration date. some sooner than others. I lost two more friends in the last 6 weeks. it happens. I take nothing for granted anymore, and I'm glad to still be walking upright.

I tell people all this all the time. send people a text or a message to make sure they are okay. see if they need something or anything you can do for them. see if they want to go to lunch or meet for a beer. you may not get that chance again. this world has changed drastically sad to say.

happiness, when I get on my bike, or go on a run with a thousand people to help someone, that makes me happy, or just hitting the road and I forget about all the b.s. for awhile anyway.

thanks for everyone playing and hanging around here. it means something to me.

 

Preach my friend.

what is the deal with the clue posts you are doing this time? Is it just for fun or is there a prize @DR.X

I've only seen one so far and have no idea what it is all about.

Wise words.  Sorry to hear about your friends.  It really has been a difficult year.   Thanks for hosting this game to get our minds off things.

I really liked this Siege trade I picked up,warworld?Where Doc Ock is a gal and there's like zombie robots and cyclops clones.

The dollarama here has stacks of trades for three bucks once in a while.I read what I luck into.A lot of Year Zero was cool.

oh cool.  I'll put Siege on my list.  Thanks for the recommendation.

@porcupine48  Check out House of X if you haven't read that yet.  Pretty phenomenal.

Try sitting here and dealing with this...............plus my cell phone and land line blowing up. Facebook messages, disturbances on my block, text messages, and other buffoonery.

I want to hear about the disturbances on your block.

What you say is true , more so this year! 

Good time of year to pick a charity & donate to it whether national or local. Whether it is your time or $.

Thanks for doing the contest very year! We all look forward to it!

I have done a raffle prize that last two years. The clues are just hype, before I reveal what the prize is. I usually do a drawing about a week after Christmas. D Pontoon won last years Eerie Hard Cover.

The squad took care of it before Dr had to hit the tunnels

[DR.X]

People do not realize the things we donate to, and the people we help all year on these bikes. Lots of this stuff is organized by local groups, or clubs, and even some 1% er's. It's all done to help someone. Many times, they don't even know we are coming. Cancer victims, people who can't pay the rent. It goes on all summer.

I'd like to post some of the things we did with Mission One which is a Vet support group, but it would turn political in an instant. I took lots of pics and videos and was actually on the one of our local stations but they edited my verbal rant. LOL

Some of you now what was going on. Been a terrible summer dealing with Covid, and the unrest in our country.

Don't know if you guys ever heard of B.A.C.C.A. Bikers against child abuse. They are all over the country. We have a few local charters here in the area.

Pic below was taken by me. Staging up to go on a ride. These guys are the best. When they step in to help, believe me, they will do whatever they have to, to protect those kids, and I mean anything.

Pic below our run, and a short video with some great info on it.

@DR.X Having followed your posts for years now the only thing that would surprise me is if you weren't doing things like that. I always enjoy the pics of your rides and I think for the most part they are usually some kind of charity event.

As I said,I sort of read what comes my way.Three four bucks is affordable to me and getting the trades is great because I collect floppies but very very little modern,post copper.That's just post Civil War right?Or pre?I was gifted a long of CW era and a bit after the Illuminati(?) so I've read a bit that's touched on it.Is that where Scarlet Witch messes up mutants?Really I'm lost and sort of enjoy the way these trades come my way like listening to the radio..never know what's coming next.

I'm sorry to hear about your friends.  What you say is true and people will get more out of life the sooner they realize these things rather than wait for old age to apply them.  "We must all think about tomorrow, but without forgetting to live today. ("La Dolce Vida")

Or, from a more comic-oriented movie: No amount of money ever bought a second of time.  ("Avengers:  Endgame")
