SNOW IS A FOUR LETTER WORD!

As I'm writing this blog, mother nature is dumping bazillions of her little snowflakes in my yard. It's amazing how something as tiny as a snow flake can become such a pain in the ass! It can't come visit without bringing a few gillion of it's best friends along.

The Holidays are upon us. Our kids and grand kids are anxiously waiting for Christmas to come. Christians around the world are ready to celebrate the birth of the Messiah. Presents are placed under the Christmas Tree to be given in love to family and friends. Christmas is a good time to reflect on all the blessings God bestows upon us. Life is good.

2008 was a great year for the NLMC. Our new membership has swelled our ranks to record levels. We finally have a parking lot where we can park our bikes and cars without concern of them being sucked into a quagmire of mud. Despite threatening weather, we had a successful bike blessing and are looking forward to a better one this spring. Long riders completed the epic Alaska Run and Big Red made a good part of it before breaking down. That's not bad for an '84 Evo with over 100K on it.

May we all share a special bond of love for one another in the upcoming year.
