RING-A-DING-DING! HO! HO! HO!
MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!
2017 was another good one! We started the year with Babydoll's "Barbie Car" ('93 Geo Metro [3cylinder/40mpg]) back
from the Lindstrom's Auto Body (lindstromautobody.com) - like new inside and outside; altogether spent about as much
as the car originally cost on the restoration. Then the Easyriders Show in Sacramento, we both had our favorites... (click on any photo to go to the photo's web page)

Sharon and I have been on a monitored diet and
lost a lot of FAT and we spend our mornings working out at a gym, and I
am back in a karate school again. Sharon underwent surgery, chemo therapy and radiation treatment
last year (kicked her
butt), so, Thanksgiving was in Boulder Creek, but she is steadily getting stronger all the time (and her hair is growing
back just fine) and Thanksgiving was here this year. Izzy is 10 years old now, a little slow getting up but fast when she
wants to be fast and well educated Penny at 5 years old in December is still just a BIG PUPPY and is regularly called on to
assist in testing other dogs and training new canine instructors at  , check her out on one of Penny's web pages

And now... December, Christmas, and 2018 are just days away. Next year will have an exciting start for us in January with
a week in Las Vegas to attend the Mecum Mid-America Motorcycle Auction as a bidder again (prices were waaay down
this year, have my fingers crossed for next year) and take in other Las Vegas stuff. Well, hope all you all had a good year,
have a great Christmas, and a better New Year!

We wish all y'all
a Very Merry

a Very Happy
New Year!
