You like to come across as a smart-ass but your inscription, (in my copy anyway)was actually very touching. I look forward to warmer weather and hopfully taking a lot more rides with my "Angel". <br /><br />Thank-you very much, and Merry Christmas!<br /><br />RayRayWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17459371870032874549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-23708267143594969272012-12-21T05:06:49.791-05:002012-12-21T05:06:49.791-05:00Hi Jack, alas the package and I are yet to be unit...Hi Jack, alas the package and I are yet to be united.

This is a good thing as it means I won't need to think of Peter The Great. That is a picture I am happy to erase from my mind. <br /><br />I have ridden motorcycles in Cuba and worked in Russia and can confirm that pinko's can be friendly enough and not at all like your wannabe commie. <br /><br />You do realise, I hope, that Akula is Russian for shark. Are you sure it was claws it sunk into your backside, and not its teeth?<br /><br />By the way, I have a photograph of my niece on one of my bikes. I will try to find it and send it to you.<br /><br />Good to see you are posting once more.<br />Gary Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05163380727432573785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-35295305835175496512012-12-01T18:37:58.790-05:002012-12-01T18:37:58.790-05:00Good to see you back Jack.Good to see you back Jack.Canajunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17529505799866207528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-1669681360464656132012-11-30T18:08:00.796-05:002012-11-30T18:08:00.796-05:00Dear Jack:

It occurred to me at 3am, just when I thought I was done.<br /><br />Thank God my young female editor (my daughter) doesn't read these blogs. I am more than convinced that she thinks I'm full of shit. And she would have flagged the "Peter The Great" line as too low-brow. <br /><br />However, I know she was right about the book project. I don't regret the insanity that followed her recommendation. But it did drain the life out of me. And that fucking hurricane was the last straw.<br /><br />I am delighted you were among the first to read this blog tonight. You caught the Republican line and laughted at Peter the Great. Jerry Quinn caught the moose and squirrel reference <br /><br />Perfect score tonight. <br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack/ReepJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-8761290957288820462012-11-30T00:56:16.294-05:002012-11-30T00:56:16.294-05:00Dear Jerry Quinn (Bull):
