one of the things I have noticed Allen has some great music at his event! Sodder played both Friday and Saturday night I like the charged way they play! Otis played some great tunes, Friday night and then 36 inches rocked the house on Saturday night! ok i going to kind of drift off the subject here! I know there is a new show comming the week before this even just down the Road and I guess every one wants to check out the new show! I probably will too but! do not  forget Allen has been putting a party on for you at a very reasonable price  for many years! every year he takes part of that money he gets and puts it back into the place to make it nicier for us!  so make sure you don't forget him! plan so you can make his party so he can continue! this new guy looks like he is going to put a good show on but he also wants $50 of your money too! a few years back there was a promoter that promised big money for the bike show and bands and had a pricey gate! I went when I got there I was surprised to see less that 75 people there! most were there to work! by Saturday afternoon I was sure the party was a bust! I ended up packing up and leaving! you know Allen will put on a good party for you! ok back to this party!  while Sodder was playing Allen lit the bonfire! I took advantage of this to play with some fire pictures! I have done many man in the fire pic but this time I did one with the singer for Sodder form the stage! After all that Buck and 36 Inches took the stage and continued to rock the house! as you can tell they get the crowd and especially the girls stirred up pretty good! I have no idea what time 36 Inches quit and folks moved over to the karaoke,

 but some where in there I went to bed! I woke up about 8:30 on Sunday morning headed down to the CMA tent for a cup of coffee! while I was there I breakfast got done and I think it was James that said grace over the meal and ask that we all get home ok! after breakfast I went back to camp and begin packing up to go home! I got every thing packed up and made my rounds to say good by then headed home! I made my way north on 102 but made a detour to see a friend on my way home! when I left his place I headed west on I 40! I got almost to Douglas blvd! I am the original rubber neck watching every one around me! I saw a tow truck to my right come over into my lane just a little so I moved over to the far left side of my lane! he Didnt stay in my lane for long so I thought he just drifted. I waited a bit then decided he was going to stay in his lane so I shifted back into my normal area I ride in the lane and went to go on by him! I was just even with his front  tandem when I saw him cross the white line again coming back over into my lane! I tried to move away from him but he was coming at me too fast I was being sucked into his big truck! I reached for my horn just in time to feel my shoulder tough his truck and see his tire catch my front highway peg which folded my bike down on the right side! I could feel the front tandem on my face and then on my right shoulder! then I was on the ground and trying to get up and out of the highway! Brother Pickle form Hands of Prayer came on the scene just min after and I ask him to secure my stuff! the rest of my trip home was not on my bike! it was in an ambulance! that is all I can tell you about it for now more after it is settled! the lawyer said not to
