    Been a great day!

    A sailor and his motorcycle were reunited today. It has been almost a year since I have ridden, and my service commitments/funding has made it impossible to move my bike from Missouri to NY. Well, through an arrangement made with a friend from back home, he delivered it to me today in the back of his pickup.

    To top it all off, many of my other belonings that would be to heavy and expensive to ship also came with him. Altogether in one morning I was reunited with: my electric guitar, sewing machine, leather working tools kit, and perhaps the most exciting. . . my 1966 Superhawk project bike. I have been trying to restore this bike since I was 15 and now it looks like it may all finally come together.

    I now have plenty of DIY supplies to put my hobbies back into comission. I can see some new sporrans and knife sheaths around the bend. . .

    Today has been like Christmas morning even though all the presents were my own belongings!

    I felt exactly the same way when the two 20ft containers with most of my worldly goods and possessions arrived from Dublin three years ago. Unfortunately, no one delivered them to my home for free...

    Well, now, MoR - he didn't say the delivery was free. I'm sure payment will be, or has been, made in some form or another (beer/pizza, maybe a bottle or two of other beverages, or possibly some of that custom work).

    Congrats on the reunion Bishop.

    The delivery was not free as my friend owed me a bit of money. I let him make this delivery as a way to settle up his debts without putting a lot of hardship on himself monetarily. With our arrangement both people were satisfied. Just being reuinited with some of my things from home is worth much more than I can express.
