February 1st ride

I know I know, this is last minute but I wanted to make sure we got in at least one ride per month during the winter.
Tomorrow the high will be 60 F.
This is well above 50 degrees, my limit for cold.
So meet at the Hwy 58 Waffle House. 10:30 for breakfast and we'll start after eats. Could be a hour long ride. I"d like to go up 58 .
The Waffle House is right at the intersection of 153 and 58.
Y'all know what the sign looks like.

The second ever Goddess Award goes to our ride captain.
He single handed inserted my retirement calendar into this blog.
Now I can have a daily reference to my freedom

I am so crazy, well ya'll knew that

I read in Scoot Magazine about a rally that only brought 12 people. We can do better than that!
So I went to tell Stan my idea. He said Hill City is having a fall rally. So I figure that we can plan a rally for Spring 2010.
I've talked to a musician about music, have ideas for events but am really falling short on logistics like where to have it, food etc. IF we plan well we can only have to charge to cover costs. Could be 20 bucks.
I have been thinking about a name. Something about spring? fossils?
I just sounds so cool. And since we have already had local press coverage I think it is time for a national debut.
Oh, this just came to me: something to do with debutantes but silly like the kudzu ball.

I"m asking any reader to comment with suggestions for any part.

Community events

Stan Obal is hosting a vintage swap meet and camp out on April 18-19. The swap meet will be here at Scenic City Scooters from 9-3 and then they'll ride to Pikeville. www.motorcycleranch.com

Last year, was a rainy Sunday for the camp out; most folks stayed overnight, some just went up for dinner Saturday, some drove in a car (me). All are welcome. Reservations will be needed for the camp out.

no dues no meetings just rides

For a while now slogans for Fossils Scooter Club have been percolating in this FGM's head.

I've settled on my choice: no dues no meetings just rides. This sums up what I want the club to be.
I've even had cards printed for us to hand out. This expense is one of my last spontaneous deeds I think. I've put myself on a retirement budget so when I retire in six months-----you heard it right---- I won't be surprised. Rday is 6/30/09 that's just 157 days away. If anyone knows where i can get a countdown clock widget let me know.

Well that was off topic.
I don't know how to make voting possible so just comment . If there are not too many nays I"ll move along to ask that this slogan put on the blog header. Voting will end January 30, 2009.
And certainly I"ll expect someone to comment on whether this is a slogan or motto.

FFA

No this isn't gonna be about future farmers of america. It's about future FOSSILS of america.
I was surfing the net and wanted to see if there were other people using the name. I came across Fossils Riders and clicked. This club was for senior equestrians. But to keep the sport alive they had opened membership to younger riders as FFA.
That was a terrific idea I thought. So starting 2009 FFA membership is available. Tell any riders you see.

Wake up Wake UP

Hey all you fossils

Did you see how wonderful the weather is today? I can feel that our rides will start in the next few weeks. Sorry we haven't got one in this month. I like it when its 50 or more.

This site may be of interest.

!*!*! WELCOME NEW MEMBER*!*!*!

Yea, the Fossils have a new member. His name is Donald Miller and he lives in Oak Ridge Tn.

Yea, we are growing.

Don found our club whilst surfing the web and finding our blog. He rides to work every day so I think he is a candidate for Shiftless Sister's "In the Wind" awards. He shared these scoot pictures with me.

Interesting opportunity

You could ride your scooter to the monthly private opening of the VAAP. That's the Volunteer Army Ammunition Plant. Now you might ask why would that be interesting: well, the city of Chattanooga and Hamilton County are building a very large park in the area off HWY 58. Parks and Recreation want to show off what has been done and what is to be done in the two years, yes, two years before the park opens. They have van tours monthly. This month the tour is History of the park site 101 or something like that. The tour will cover the entire VAAP with an opportunity to see what the city and county have already done and to see the VW plant site. Cool huh? Sound interesting? read on
Call Parks and Recreations at 643-6079 to make your reservations for the FREE van tours.
The dates are: January 13th and 15th. Each day there are two tours 10 AM and 1PM.
Now call your buddies and make plans :)

Call soon so they will know how may vans to bring. Scoots can be parked and locked along the small road into the place off of HYW 58.
Calling 757-PLAY will let you hear the activities but not register.
Later, Shiftless Sister
