Just got back from my first Laughlin motorcycle rally.  Naturally, went with Gary and a dozen of his friends.  Was lots of fun.  Dang hot.  Took rides to Williams, AZ and Oatman, AZ.

 
Our campsite.  Three RV’s and a dozen bikes - almost all Road Glides.

We and and all our crap are under one roof for the first time in about two years.  A “little” roof, about a third the size of the house we were in two years ago, but all together, none-the-less.  The double garage is packed so full one can scarcely get to even what is right at the door, so we may rent a storage unit to spread out a bit, but all in good time, aye?

Most of our stuff was moved in the 13th with the two U-Hauls, so Wednesday I flew back to Memphis to get the rest, arriving a little after 11 pm local time.  By minutes after midnight I was on the road with my pickup, flatbed trailer and Harleys, heading to California with the last load of our stuff.  Friday evening, fourty-four hours later, with thirty-five hours driving, I arrived.  Slept in the truck, snacked in the cab as I drove, and only stopped for gas.  Ok, maybe, I pushed it a little too hard, but I made it, safe and sound - and exhausted.

We’re the one with the yellow flowers on the balcony:

…but she’s my Mother Truckin’ wife.  And that is a good thing.  With the help of four guys, we packed up two 26′ U-Hauls and started driving at 7 pm Monday evening.  Sharlet drove one of the trucks and I drove the other.  Just after we left, she called me on the cell phone and said, “This is the Mother Trucker…”.  Gotta love the gal.  Ok, she did have a 32′ motorhome she drove quite a bit a few years back, including a trip from California to Alaska.  Still, ya gotta hand it to the gal.  We drove four hours that night, 16 hours the next day and 18 1/2 hours yesterday, arriving at a friend’s at 12:30 am last night.

Sharlet is the best traveling companion ever.  No bitching, whining, complaining.  Always a positive, upbeat attitude in any and every circumstance.  In fact, that is just how Sharlet is.  I’ve never met a person who flat NEVER brings up the negative like her.  It is one of her enduring qualities that make her the best woman in the entire world.  And, did I mention, she’s all mine?
