Post by: AlanBama on January 17, 2007, 06:14:39 pm: Hi gang !

Tim (Moffie65) has a birthday on Friday. This is a BIG ONE, if I'm doing the math correctly.....he will be sixty years old!

My dear Tim,

You are often in my thoughts, and I hope you are doing well. I wish you a very happy 60th birthday, and may you celebrate many many more!

Love,

Alan

Happy Birthday!!!
I hope its a good one....my 60th was easier than 50 for some reason. Maybe I had accepted my being a "senior" by 60. Do something fun....remember we are "older and we have more insurance" so give those young uns a run for their money.

Post by: Moffie65 on January 18, 2007, 02:34:22 pm: Hello Friends;

So, I recently remembered my first riding experience in College, when I was working the Christmas Holiday in So. California. It was the Christmas season in 1965, and I had a job with Sears in Anahiem, and was going to BIOLA College in La Mirada. A friend loaned me his Lambretta Scooter to get to work and that was my first ever riding experience.

Skip to 1986 and my purchase of a 1984 Honda Helix, which was closely followed by a 1985 Yamaha 920 Virago, full dress. I enjoyed them both for different reasons, and then in 1994 I was struggling to stay alive and I sold both of them. I didn't particularly want to leave my sweetie with another two headaches if I didn't survive the first bout of PCP. Couldn't walk for several years, as I lost the use of both of my legs from side effects of drugs. Skip to 2006 and I parked my mobility scooter and started dreaming once again of a two wheeler. Over the last year, I have been shopping and looking at the market and decided I wanted a cruiser of some sort, but could little afford the Harley which seemed to look and appear like the best choice. Unfortunately, my disability income seemed so very short when looking at the very long prices of the dominant cruiser market of Harley Davidson, Honda and Yamaha. I found myself drooling over a C50T (Same bike, except it was black and had wire spoke wheels) one day and when I stood the thing up was very impressed with its weight, and balance. HMMMM...............

Along about the first of November, we were in the local Suzuki dealership and my sweetie saw this C50C and called me over to the corner of the shop where it was sitting and told me that this one surely should be "Your Bike". The "C" stands for "custom" in Suzuki speak, with the silver and gold ghost flames and the magnesium wheels, pearl white paint and all the other things which differentiate this bike from the others. Well, needless to say, I couldn't get the damn thing out of my mind, and with the coming of Christmas and shortly followed by my 60th birthday; well, I just couldn't resist. The next day, my sweetie insisted that I get this one, even though he wasn't particularly interested in seeing me on a bike again, but he piled me in his car and took me to the store and that day it came home with me for good. I haven't named it yet, but am thinking on it.

This bike is a true joy, and when riding around in the High Arizona Deserts, and trundling over the valley to Tombstone, I am constantly amazed at the number of people that stop and admire this ride. It is not only a beauty to look at, it is easy as pie to handle and the comfort is something to behold. Truly a far cry from a Lambretta, but still, a lifetime of riding, topped off with this fine "steed" give my heart joy and my butt a real thrill. I now have about 450 miles on the clock, and have enjoyed each and every one of them. As you can see in the photos, I do dress for the occasion, and the chaps still fit, well sort-of, as when they were purchased in 1979, they fit so tight I had to really work to get them on. The boots, likewise still fit and after 30 years are remarkibly very supple and comfortable. The jacket was a gift from one of the AIDSmeds forum members and I wear it with pride and joy.

Thank you all so very much for your well wishes and for remembering my birthday. Alan, yes you are right, I am 60 tomorrow morning, at 1:20am

I am making a valiant attempt to keep up on my Blog, and you can always find me there. It aint easy when the body tries to screw with you, but most of you know what I am talking about. I am still working on my brain fog and have found some answers that are working well and I will soon re-visit that subject in the Blog. One of the things I cannot do is to enter the conversation in the Living Forum anymore, as it contributes to the fog in ways that I hardly want to even admit. I will explain more soon.

Once again, I am humbled by all the well wishes and I will see you in the Blogisphere.

Truly Yours,

Tim

Post by: Moffie65 on January 19, 2007, 06:11:03 pm: Well Friends,

It was a good day, but of course that is with HIV Qualifications.

I awoke promptly at midnight-thirty, and spent about two hours trying to get tired enough to go back to sleep. I tossed and turned, not particularly thinking of anything but the ever present rain.

When my sweetie went to work at 5:30, the puppies and I went back to bed and I slept soundly until 10:30, missing my morning dose, but took it anyway with my cereal. I haven't slept past 7am for probably 10 years or more, so this was a total treat.

I went to town and paid some bills and went to the "Bike Shop" and found the "HOT" weather jacket I was looking for, and ordered it. Yes folks, as mentioned in my Blog, the Lincoln was for sale and it sold on the fifth of this month, so I have a bit of extra for some of those needed purchases. The rest will go to pay off much of my credit card debt, which I couln't seem to get on top of..... Like I said before, thriving with HIV requires the tenacity of an accountant and the will of a soldier, so now you see how that is working in everyday life, since I really didn't want to sell the car but had to because the expense of keeping it in top shape was just way too much for me now.

Soon, my sweetie will be home, and we will feed the pups and head out to dinner. I haven't decided whether we are going for Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese or Chinese but it will surely be Asian food of some sort. We have all of them here, in a very high quality, as all of the resturants are owned by ex-military families, and the town has a very international feel.

The evening is not for public knowledge, so that will have to be left up to you guys to fill in the rest. There are some things we just don't share. :)

Love to all, and a huge thank you for taking the time to wish me a good day; IT CERTAINLY WAS A STELLAR DAY!!!!!

Tim.
