BIKE DAY…POST 359 Oct. 7, 2023 BY Miserable George

Bike Day on Sat., Oct. 7, 2023 was a huge success(again) for ME anyway!!!! Plenty of beautiful photo opps…! The live band, RADAR RED was sounding off as I arrived at the rear patio of Post 359. The crowd was filtering in…and soon the place was filled up. I had my usual meal, then started gathering photos for Old School Biker Magazine. I finally got a pic of Shelly the Bar Maid…out from behind the bar!!!! The 50/50 winner donated back $50 from her winnings…NICE!!! I finally got that gorgeous Keyboard player in the band to pose for a solo shot…!!! The weather was very pleasant all day long, but looked like it MIGHT turn bad by late afternoon, so I called it a day. I believe ValGal headed out for home as well.

Hey, thank a VET today…ride safe…and we’ll see ya next time…

Miserable George & ValGal….

Saints&Sippers tidy up Mims

We have such wonderful people in Brevard County! We are supporting Saints & Sippers Coffee because they are such an awesome company.

THEN I found out JUST how awesome they are! ~Valgal

Welcome to Mims sign restoration, sponsored by Saints and Sippers Coffee!

When we moved into town, we noticed an overgrown “Welcome to Mims” sign that we hadn’t noticed before. We wondered why it had not been properly maintained. We contacted the town and learned that it had been erected years back by the Mims Garden Club, which is no longer an active organization. We asked if the town could clean it up, but they declined, as this sign is on a state road, not a town road. We then contacted our congressmen, who put us in touch with the appropriate state department. We learned that the sign was never approved, and was erected without authorization. The state was willing to send out DOT right away to have the sign taken down. We requested to keep the sign, and offered to clean it up ourselves. The state then agreed to ‘look the other way’! – So we took to it, chopping down the overgrown mess, scraping and scrubbing the mold and old paint from the sign, repainting, pulling weeds, turning soil, and with the help of our 4 year old son, replanting new plants and flowers, as well as laying down fresh mulch.

We are proud to call Mims our home in the beautiful North Brevard County.

BIKE DAY at POST 359 on 9-2-23 by Miserable George

A bunch of mean looking clouds rolled past my place just as I was getting ready to shove off to Post 359 for Bike Day. Those clouds DID dump some rain on my place, however, 359 was spared…WHEW!!! The crowd was a bit sparse when I got there, but grew pretty fast. The band, Roughouse, was wailing away, and cute little barmaid Shelly was busy providing those cold ones…she’s a Sweetheart!!! By now, BOTH bars were busy, and food was being served. Everything was moving at a FULL SWING pace. The weather was perfect, although it was a BIT warm…those big fans on the deck DID help. Despite the heat, I did see people dancing…!!! Bikes were rolling in, and soon the back deck was packed. It turned out to be a FUN DAY…!!!

Folks, thank a vet today, and may GOD BLESS YOU ALL…!!!

Miserable George & ValGal…(Yeah, she was there too)

BIKE DAY at POST 359 by Miserable George

This is the time of year for crazy weather, and man….have we been getting just THAT…!!! BUT, today, 8-5-23 was different…at least, it started out that way!! It was HOT, but the BIG DADDY BAND attracted a nice crowd….if anybody’s gonna do it…THEY will..!!! We ran into some friends whom we hadn’t seen for awhile…THAT’S always nice. The food was very good…as always…and, Shelly, that sweet little bar-maid, was busy keeping the cold ones coming. Judging by what was parked in back…someone even arrived on a beautiful Farmall “H” tractor…!!! The band DID attract a dancer or two…even in the heat…!!! The fans were running, but like one guy said, they were just blowing hot air!!!!

Well, whatever, it was a fun afternoon…I always look forward to it.

Hey, thank a VET today, and GOD BLESS AMERICA…..!!!!

A HOT BIKER SATURDAY AT POST 359 by Miserable George

In spite of a blistering HOT Saturday afternoon, the back deck of Post 359 was literally PACKED with folks who came out to meet friends, or maybe just to listen to the music and have a few cold ones. Whatever your reason , I’m certain that you had a good time…!!! The band-”ROUGHOUSE” had them dancing in no time. Heck, there was even a wheel chair bound lady out on the floor!!! As usual, the food was good and the beer was cold…!!! That in itself, had a good grip on the attending folks..!!! I met several folks that I hadn’t seen for quite a while.

I also got asked to be BEST MAN at the wedding of a good friend….I was never a Best Man before…!!!

Folks…thank a VET today, and may GOD BLESS you all….

Shovelhed at H&D Roadhouse by Valgal

There is nothing I love more than having all our friends together at ONE PLACE!… Sure did keep me busy shooting pictures!

Shovelhed on stage to ROCK THE HOUSE AS USUAL!

Warren and Meg’s LAST SUNDAY SINGLE PARTY!

Great success I’d say! People were dancing and singing along with the band! We also got asked to shoot a friend’s wedding in September! That will be a fun one too!

Harry was on point as always with food and cold drinks!
Thank you Harry & Deb for all you do for our community!
WE LOVE YOU!

BIKE DAY AT POST 359 6-3-23 by Miserable George

The place was surrounded by nasty looking clouds all day long, BUT, no rain…!!!! Nice crowd at Bike Day, and they allowed 4-wheelers in the big parking lot. As always…good food, a live band…Whiskey JuJu…had a lot of folks dancing. My lady-writer from Ohio was visiting with her friend…nice to see her again. After some food and a lot of photos, this old guy was ready to head home.

Thank a VET today, and may GOD bless you all…

21st. Annual Brevard Law Ride by Miserable George

……I’d say that the weather could not have been any better for the big Brevard Law Ride on Sat. May 13, 2023.

ValGal and I left just ahead of the main group and got a spot on 5A to shoot the column of over 488 bikes. We were able to slip into the column and join them all the way back to the Hall of Fame area where lunch was being served. Sorry, there was no stop at the VAB this year.

Thanks to all the Police Agencies that assisted on the run.

By now, mid-day heat was making itself known, so we hit the road to find some welcome AC. It was a very enjoyable day all around.

Hey, thank a VET today, and GOD bless you all….
