Thanks to all who showed up to the March meeting at Tousley's.  Members, guests, and members of other chapters. 

For those that could not attend, we shall hopefully see you at the April meeting or sooner, depending on the weather and rides.

I wish to thank those that stepped up to the plate to help with various things.  Member participation is what makes this group special. 

Thanks Tommy for your guidance and information on the state level.  If I missed anyone, I apologize.

Besides going down the rode on our bikes with a wind at our backs, the next best medicine is ......

Lucky thanks for bringing the shirt, I put it on at home and I guess I must have lost a little weight ? It was a little big on me??? :P :P :o :o ;D ;D ;D I am glad to see everyone participating in something it makes this chapter great. Cindy and I have been a little up set this last few weeks as we had to put our dog Babe down. She was a part of our family for the past 13+ years. :'( :'(She will be missed. I look forward to riding soon and this is looking like it will be a banner year for all Chapters in Minnesota.

Remember it is not what you ride, Just keep the rubber side down and Enjoy the Ride.

Cliff, we are sorry to hear about your dog, Babe.  That is a very hard thing to do.  We lost a pet this last Fall and it never gets any easier (I guess its not supposed to).  Thirteen years certainly does make her part of the family.  Our sympathies to you both!  Riding season is certainly something to look forward to and, though we never forget, we'll have those great distractions soon.

Cliff,

Sorry to hear about your dog passing.  Yes, we have all been through that.  It is never easy.  My wife and I had to put down a golden retriever a couple of years ago (she is under a maple tree now and the tree is doing rather well)

We did the same thing with one of our favorite horses a few years ago.  That was really hard too. 

Life does go on and low and behold, we found another dog that we just adore.  We will always have our memories, nobody can take that away from you.

Hi All;
It's always hard to loose a member of the family. Charms second son Shadow is 9 and who knows how long he will be pestring the heck out of me. Charm says that some day he will save my life, I don't see how at 8lbs but, I guess anything is possable. So all I can say is our condolences.
