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…

Twisted Minds, Inc. and Me by Valgal

Very few people know where/how my obsession with TMI started … Well it has been almost 5 years now since my head snapped up and I took notice.

I made a flier YEARS ago for an event a friend put on called Crew Jam, well Nancie had Twisted Minds playing as one of the bands but I didn’t really care too much about music back then cuz I just had started our magazine.

This brings us to the vibrancy that was Jay Grose… As you all know I leave events a bit early. This is because I NEED to go… For ME.

Well one day I was leaving a venue, I believe it was Moe’s, and Jay asked me to wait and listen to his friends play, it was TMI… Little did I know how much this day would change my life and the way I look at the music community today. They had me hooked!

WE FUCKING LOVE YOU GUYS! This band, called Twisted Minds,Inc. Helped me get thru one of the saddest times of my life. We are so grateful to have them and all the friends we have made because of them. You can go see them and just BE. Jay tried to give me the ability to hear the music the way he did.(Not exactly)

Jasper, and the men from TMI, you will ALWAYS mean more to me than you will ever know…

OK… I have been hoarding A LOT OF PHOTOS over the last few years so here are some of the BEST OF THE BEST of TMI… Thank you for being there!

ENJOY
Valgal

P.S There will be photos of current and past members…

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….

MOVING WALL…2023 by Miserable George

Rain or no rain…?? THAT was the big question for this year’s Moving Wall event at Wickham Park in Brevard County, Melbourne, Fl. ValGal and I got there around 11AM on Sat. May 6,2023. Activity around the Wall itself, was quite brisk, however, the crowd over near the stage seemed a bit smaller than other years . Doc Holiday was on stage doing his thing…the vendors were all set up…there were two helicopters over in the landing field; they attracted quite a few spectators. I believe it was the somewhat threatening weather that cut the crowd down a bit this year. There was dark sky in the area, however, no rain fell in the park area itself. ValGal found me just finishing a good meal, and said “it was time to go”…We watched the choppers depart, then we did too…!

There were quite a few VietNam Vets in attendance…GOD BLESS ‘em all.

Hey…thank a VET today…OK…?

Vietnam Vets Moving Wall 2023 by Valgal

Hello Everyone! What a weekend we had in Brevard County! The bad storms came to an end on Sunday JUST in time for the Vietnam Vets Moving Wall Escort… This day was special to me because I got to drive down to Wickham Park IN THE Escort line for the first time!! Besides the motorcycles there were the Corvette Clubs and the JEEPS! I was honored to ride thru the streets and have people wave… Such a different perspective.

Thank you to all the Law enforcement officers that worked so hard to keep us safe all the way down! THANK YOU! God Bless!

Met up with friends and chatted about the hail that fell 2 days in a row this weekend… Hope everyone made it thru with minimal damage…

We will be back to the Wall festivities this week and we hope to see y’all supporting

the people who made freedom possible… Our Veterans!

Enjoy. Valgal

PINT & PISTOL CAR SHOW by Miserable George

The weather was perfect for the first Pint & Pistol car show, which turned out to be HUGE, as was the crowd..!! ValGal and I were lucky to get a parking spot…!! They had everything from the oldest Model T’s to the sleekest Corvettes, also one of the newest military combat trucks. There were several one-of-a-kind factory creations as well. The dining area was open, so we took advantage of THAT…!! Thanks to KZ Dave who treated us to lunch. I was really surprised to see the number of cars that they had…!! I’ll be watching for this event next time out!!!! Very interesting and exciting as well. Hey, thank a VET today…see ya’ll next time…

TANNER JAM…2023 by Miserable George

Well, for a change, Old Man Weather cooperated and brought us a beautiful day for the 2023 Tanner Jam, held again at H & D Roadhouse, out on Merritt Island, FL. The Benefit Poker Run ended there, and the cash prize for that was donated back as were ALL the cash prizes won in various events during the day….a big THANKS to all involved. Plenty of food available from H&D as well as a Food van parked out back. Also, live music all day by several local groups…SORRY….I failed to get the names, BUT, they were very entertaining. Tanner, who is now 17 yrs. old, says he feels pretty good most of the time, but still needs constant care…he suffers with Cystic Fibrosis, and all the monies received will go to helping with his care as well as research. It was a very pleasant event, with a large crowd and lots of items for sale for the cause.

We wish Tanner the best of luck, and GOD BLESS….

Green Gables Antique Bike Show 2023 by Valgal

It was a beautiful day to gather friends and take a ride… So, off to Melbourne we went… Riding their bikes, along with me in the OSB Jeep, was Pete from the local band Mid Life Crisis… He plays the bass! Next we had our friend Rowdy too… We walked around looking at all the beautiful bikes there… The weather was on the warm side but it will get worse and it was nothing a little ice cream couldn’t fix (thanks Pete) so we were happy!

Please ENJOY the photos and if you need an OSB t-shirt hit me up out there if you see me… New things are evolving so keep your eyes on us!
