By RYAN LENZ

The rest of the story, in post 2, so ya don't have to scroll by a long post!

Just got back from an Honor ride for HM2 Jamie Jaenke of Iowa falls. The loonies were there. But... apparently, as invited guests acting as agents of the families, the PGR can deterimine where local law enforcement positions the sickos. A rider came roaring up to the ranks and jumped off his bike to tell our Ride Captain, Preacher, that the freaks were at the cemetery. Everybody wanted to mount up a group to go over and fence them off. Preacher didn't think that was a good idea - too confrontational, so he got on his cell and called the head law officer, and asked that the wretches be positioned 500yd north of the burial site. He clearly had checked out the lay of the land, and had a strategic bent. By moving them north, he put them over a hill, where you could not see them at all! Hilarious. No way to know they were even there. Hats off to Preacher! Way to lead!

And hats off to all the riders who left before dawn to get there on time. Like our very own Trident! Great to meet ya in person, brother! (He's exactly as I expected, a gracious and gregarious old grizzler :^O ) What a fine group. Have I said that before?

I think that dog tri did snap me. He handed me his flag and took off for awhile. Then he came back and snapped my a$$. He's a bad dog, but if he posts that thing, there are going to be a lot of people with watering eyes and runny noses, and damaged monitors. :^O

I forging fuggot my camera. Sheeedt! Oh well, these are getting pretty routine. Nothing new to shoot, really.

But... on old guy there told me a story about a great picture he didn't get. He said there was an absolutely pristine-looking Sheriff in flawless white uniform and hat, flanked by two old dirty-dog grizzle bikers in distressed leathers and aged patch vests. He said the bikers kept wiping their noses. And seemed to be having allergy attacks. Watery eyes. Runny noses. ...Then he saw the Sherriff break out a pack of kleenex, and pass it to the biker on his right, then the biker on his left. Only if he had had a camera...

Somewhere in the above blurred picture is Baz...Anyone want to take a guess who it is?

I did not have a good ride home from this mission. My Venture is at mile marker 143 along I-90 with a blown tranny....and I found out why the passenger seat on a Harley Road King is called the bi*ch pad! Put your lady on one of those for 120 miles and you'll turn her into one for sure!

I would guess Baz to be the one in the black jacket with his arms folded to the right of the guy in orange.
