I did not get to many pics of Happy, he was having a good time with Finfan.

Here is one with Happy on my bike at the lake

And one with Alex, Happy, and Finfan..... Alex was suppose to take a pic with me, Happy and Finfan but I guess he did not push the right button cause I don't have it.

*Attention all hands. Attention all hands. Happy SR. is back on the sauce. That is all. Turn 2*

Starting to remind me of my great Uncle Shawn. 12 fire fighters tried to rescue him from drowning in a vat of Jamison. He fought them off bravely.

I am hoping he makes it here for the 4th of July weekend...I think he'll have a semi-long stay here.....I mean I really do need an extra set of hands to finish the Moon Dog project. (yes, the one I started last Aug.)

Heh heh, he's gonna have to live the dry life for awhile....I think I can keep him occupied though.

Lots of photo shoots, bike work, and uh, 'travels'.

Yeah, but will it be the REAL 'Happy, or an imposter/ stand-in? That's the problem with those guys; they all look alike :)

Harrr! 2 funny. Like Dept store Santa. The pic I posted (Happy SR.) is the 1st one I bought. He has been in the sun for yrs and was taken off my truck antenna by a low branch. I did an emergency "Happy over board" drill right quick! But his goggles are getting yellow with exposure, age and we all know his penchant for beer. I could wait for him (Happy Tom, the one goin' around) to come back this way or use a stand in. Up to you's guys (hehe, my NY accent)

Next time he is in Cali, pic with the "Governator"? LOL

Mr. President is next!

Think big, act wrong. Or some thing. Lord why does any one read my posts? snork

Well I got home from work tonight and there was a "Thanks for the memories" note from Happy. He apparently got bored and is now heading towards Ohio. Just as well, he was eating me out of house and home! You wouldn't believe how that little guy can pack it in! I think he stole a bottle of Scotch from my bar too! So lock up your valuables Joe he's heading your way!

Too funny, Fin.
I warned Joe about 'Happy's' drinking problem. Hope he keeps him under control while he visits the bridges of Astibula County.

Snork, as long as some one is buying, Happy does not have a drinking problem. (well, if it is brown liquor, then there seems to be habit of breaking out in hand-cuffs sort of thing) But he really is a good guy... Well...

I may take him to the site of the old Ashtabula foundry, the place where all the great Ashtabula cranks, forks, BMX conversions ect. were made.....not much there but memories and old discarded crack pipes.

We'll be busy riding the very far back roads and taking some pics at several covered bridges. Gonna put him to work on a bike project for awhile and keep him in check. He may well be a reformed 'little dude" before it's all over, or I may be Ohio's next most wanted.....only time will tell.

The little dude arrived!

Looks like he had a rough trip though (pic 1.) I have him relaxing at the moment on my ebay photo stand and we will take a bike trip later today.

I asked him if he wanted to R&R by watching the MJ memorial all day on T.V., and he said "No way. Time to burn some fuel."
