Tomorrow is my 56th year of living in this reality. No cake and ice cream for me we’re going to the VFW for prime rib because it’s the best I’ve ever tasted. I’ll be busy tomorrow so I wont be online. I wish all the best for all you guys. Have a great weekend if I’m not back till Monday.

We rode up last month to Carlisle for the bike fest, but took the long way so we could ride longer. The day was beautiful and we enjoyed the sun and wind as we sped along. We didn’t get lost until we got there and then we couldn’t find the right turn off for the gate we needed. Finally we saw a bazillion bikers and followed them in.

It only cost 8 dollars to get in compared to the 15 at Gettysburg and they had a lot more stuff going on and rows and rows of vendors. We walked and walked, it was so humid and the sweat was pouring down my back. As you can see from the photo below my poor old bones were so tired I had to sit down and rest a spell.

I took some photo’s of some of the interesting bikes on display plus one of the 9/11 that was being raffled off and also I got some of the MIA/POW chopper, simply beautiful. The photo’s I took really don’t show how jam packed the place was with different types of bikers, it was fun to watch and see everything.

I tried to get a few shots of the kids doing the motorcross stunts, but you can’t see from the pictures so luckily someone took a video and put it on YouTube and if you watch you’ll see what we saw. I was amazed at how good the one guy was. We left soon after because the clouds started rolling in. We really enjoyed the Carlisle Bike Fest over the disappointing time we had at Gettysburg.

Enjoy the humor while I take a break today….Thanks
Bible Sales

A pastor concluded that his church was getting into very serious financial troubles. While checking the church storeroom, he discovered several cartons of new bibles that had never been opened and distributed.

So at his Sunday sermon, he asked for three volunteers from the congregation who would be willing to sell the bibles door-to-door for $10 each to raise the desperately needed money for the church.

Jack, Paul and Louie all raised their hands to volunteer for the task.

The minister knew that Jack and Paul earned their living as salesmen and were likely capable of selling some bibles.

But he had serious doubts about Louie who was a local farmer, who had always kept to himself because he was embarrassed by his speech impediment. Poor Louis stuttered badly. But, not wanting to discourage Louis, the minister decided to let him try anyway.

He sent the three of them away with the back seat of their cars stacked with bibles. He asked them to meet with him and report the results of their door-to-door selling efforts the following Sunday.

Anxious to find out how successful they were, the minister immediately asked Jack, “Well, Jack, how did you make out selling our bibles last week?”

Proudly handing the reverend an envelope, Jack replied, “Using my sales prowess, I was able to sell 20 bibles, and here’s the $200 I collected on behalf of the church.”

“Fine job, Jack!” The minister said, vigorously shaking his hand. “You are indeed a fine salesman and the Church is indebted to you.”

Turning to Paul, “And Paul, how many bibles did you sell for the Church last week?”

Paul, smiling and sticking out his chest, confidently replied, “I am a professional salesman. I sold 28 bibles on behalf of the church, and here’s $280 I collected.”

The minister responded, “That’s absolutely splendid, Paul. You are truly a professional salesman and the church is indebted to you.”

Apprehensively, the minister turned to Louie and said, “And Louie, did you manage to sell any bibles last week?” Louie silently offered the minister a large envelope.

The minister opened it and counted the contents. “What is this?

“The minister exclaimed. “Louie, there’s $3200 in here! Are you suggesting that you sold 320 bibles for the church, door to door, in just one week?”

Louie just nodded. “That’s impossible!” both Jack and Paul said in unison. “We are professional salesmen, yet you claim to have sold 10 times as many bibles as we could.”

“Yes, this does seem unlikely,” the minister! agreed. “I think you’d better explain how you managed to accomplish this, Louie.”

Louie shrugged. “I-I-I re-re-really do-do-don’t kn-kn-know ff-f-for sh-sh-sh-sure,” he stammered.
Impatiently, Peter interrupted. “For crying out loud, Louie, just tell us what you said to them when they answered the door!”

“A-a-a-all I-I-I s-s-said wa-wa-was,” Louis replied, “W-w-w-w-would y-y-y-you l-l-l-l-l-like t-t-to b-b-b-buy th-th-th-this b-b-b-b-bible f-f-for t-t-ten b-b-b-bucks—-o-o-o-or—- wo-wo-wou ld yo-you j-j-j-just l-like m-m -me t-t-to st-st-stand h-h-here and r-r-r-r-r-read it t-to y-y-you??”
