So, the 67th Annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally begins August 6th, and I'll be there.

The plan so far is that Dusk, and I will be Riding out there with a couple that we met when we did our Motorcycle Safety Course earlier this summer. Kellie will be following us with her bike in the back of their pickup. I'm not sure on the time frame yet. As I will be working at the bar the night before, I hope it's not too early.

Right now I'm just trying to nail down what I should bring along.
Luckily the wonderful Leyah has helped me out a little by making a list while I was in a meeting this morning.

What I think you should pack for Sturgis!!!

Clothing:
1) Two pairs of Jeans
2) Pair of Shorts
3) Athletic shorts. (for jammies)
4) at least 10 T shirts.
5) Hoodie
6) Black coat for the Hills (the one we got from Old Navy)
7) Sockies the more the better (Yes, she really does call them that.)
8) Boxers.. the more the better
9) Both bandanna things
10) Doc's and your Adidas Tennis..
11) maybe some Swimmer shorts for good measure..

Bathroom
1) Axe soap is on the top shelf in the corner you can also use it for Shampoo
2) toothbrush
3) I believe there is a small toothpaste as well
4) Hair gel
5) SUNBLOCK!! the new one has a really small tube keep that one on the bike!
5) Powder and but that in its own zip lock baggie.. cause even if you close it.. it still finds a way to open
6) Maybe a good idea to have a baggie of like Tums.. and Tylenol in there as well Claritan etc.
7) My list is always longer.. I think this is all you really use.. Boys rock in that department!!
8) also take a week off the whole face regime I got you on!

Misc
1) Camera and 2 sets of batteries..
2) Cell phone charger
3) Bike stuff, like your goggles, and gloves.
4) Mootop? (Laptop. No clue why she said mootop, neither one of us has ever called it that before)
5) Prolly should get smokes In Sioux falls I bet there they will be really crazy expensive..

And there you go, that's what my "old lady" says I should bring. (Like how I worked in that biker lingo?)
Anyone else have anything else to add to the list? Other than deodorant. We got that added Yo

I have been contemplating what to put up here for this momentous occasion for at least a couple of weeks. I wanted it to be something moving, something touching, and something classy.

But I'm not exactly a moving, touching, and classy kind of guy... so I decided to go for something cheap and funny... A portion of a conversation I had with Leah this morning.

me: I'm getting a Dyson pet vacuum as soon as I can afford it
Leah: oh those bitches are just too expensive.. honey its not like I cry cause I am around him cause I am that bad..
I just get a little nasal and stuff and coughy
Sent at 12:04 PM on Monday
Leah: hmm..
me: Well the Dyson I planned to get anyway... like down the line
Leah: yeah those are just nice anyways.. and its "manly" for you I get that
but I think your over reacting a little bit.. on how severe it is
me: Manly? I don't think a vacuum can be manly... unless it has a gas engine and a light bar.
Then it would be pretty manly
Oooooh, and a cup holder! You gotta have one of those
Leah: uh huh .. talk to Led he supposed to be making a Turbo III
me: For your beer of course
I thought that was going to be a radio...
Leah: yeah but I think he woudl fuck with a vacuum
me: take the "with" out of there and you would have a more true statement...
Leah: lol
dont tell hime
me: he'd laugh
Leah: yeah I know
me: This is sooooo going on my website!

We love you Led!!!
And it's all your fault... I never would have thought it if you hadn't told me that story about the damn cotton candy machine. I swear I'm getting you one of those for you some day!

For sending me a link to bash.org. Because while I was browsing around last night I stumbled upon what is quite possibly the funniest thing I have ever read...

#457037 By Goatroper

so i had a checkup at the doctor a couple months ago
i waited in the goddamn lobby for like 2 hours
i was just starting to doze off when they called me back into one of the exam rooms
so i sit on this chair for like 30 more mins, and then fall asleep
i wake up and have no idea what time it is or how long i've been waiting
so 20 minutes later after I finished reading the Hispanic Business Weekly
I start diggin through the drawers in the exam table and his desk drawer
i find some hypos and don't touch them, some dressing gowns, and then i get to the drawer marked "OB/GYN"
i open it up, take a peeky-peek inside, and what do I see? Speculums and rectal dilators.
At this point I'm in his desk rolly-chair
with about 40 rubber gloves in my pockets for later use
so I grab a speculum in each hand
and start making them sing and talk like little ducks
i was rooting around for a sharpie and couldn't find one
so i put them down and did my glove-trick
i stretched a rubber glove over my head and blew it up
then i grabbbed the speculums and started spinning around in his chair
glove inflated on my head the size of two basketballs
speculum in each hand
spinning in his office chair
i hear footsteps and as i'm extending my legs to slow down, the door opens
the doctor is standing there with my chart in his hand
omg
i stopped spinning and just sat there, looking at him through the thin film of the glove
he was like "Corey.....?"
I said "Yep."
held up the speculums.
said, "I got bored."
and he was like "That's quite a trick with those gloves. Where did you learn that?"
I said "Many doctor's offices in many states."
He was like "You want to take some with you?" as I got up
I pulled the wad out of my pocket and said "Already did."
then I walked out and i heard him laughing like a goddamn maniac as soon as the door was closed
then the other day i go in again rofl and he just hands me a brand new unopened box of 100 gloves
i was gonna ask for some speculums just to fuck with him but I was afraid he'd give me some

Did you know that in 31 states, it's perfectly legal to fire someone for being gay? Or that in 39 states it's legal to fire someone for being transgender?

I found it pretty hard to believe. Here we are in the 21st century, in a country that prides itself on equal opportunity, and millions of Americans can be denied a job or fired - not for poor performance, but for simply being themselves.

I just took action with the Human Rights Campaign to end this appalling injustice. I hope you'll join me today, by sending a message to your lawmakers in Congress urging them to pass the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which will make this kind of discrimination illegal once and for all.

It's easy. To take action, go to:
