Don't give it a thought Steve, I know your busy. We will ride when we feel like it and go where we want to and if the club wants to go fine, if not that's fine also. We will ride soon, I sure like your bike. Friends forever, Jimmy.

Steve Lumbly will replace Jim Whipple as 2nd Oficer. Steve has been a
outstanding member of the Lufkin SCRC for many years and has been a road captain
for several of those years. Steve has always been a regular, attending rides and
meetings and has helped many riders numerous times with flats and breakdowns
that was really appreciated. Thanks Steve for your help and being a hard worker
in the past and we look forward to your leadership as 2nd officer of our club.
Jimmy Wankan.

Due to health issues Jim Whipple has asked to be replaced as 2nd officer of the
Lufkin Chapter of SCRC. Jim has done a outstanding job and deserves our thanks
for his work. Jim has served as Road Captain, Tail Gunner, 2nd officer and has
led rides for several years. Best story I can think of on Jim was while he was
leading a ride to Arkansas we stopped at daylight on Hwy 1 due to the fact you
couldn't see 2 feet due to the fog. Wet, tired and soggy Jim didn't want to stop
the ride. He finally looked over at me and said ,dang were gona get somone
killed up here. I agreed and we rode back to Lufkin that day, 310 miles in the
rain. Some of the riders on that ride applied for the Wet Butt Patch and ware it
today. Thanks Jim for everything. Jimmy Wankan.

The ride will leave Lufkin at 10 a.m. from Loves Truckstop which is on the East Side of Lufkin on the loop. If it is better for you to ride from your location,we will meet you there, we should arrive around 11:15 to 11:30. If you want to ride with the group this will be a led ride, we will run the speed limit and all the rules of formation riding will apply.Hope to see you this Saturday. Jimmy Wankan.

Sunday's gathering at Wendy's turned out to be one of the best we have had in a
while. The weather had a lot to do with the number of folks that attended along
with the fact that everyone I talked to was sick of not being able to ride due
to hot/wet conditions. Maybe now we will have a month or so of better riding
conditions. New members that attended were Kenneth and Joan Goodwin and Leah
Hanscom. Both were riding really nice trikes and are experienced riders. Jim
Whipple was on the road again and led a portion on the ride. Steve Lumbley
showed up on a brand new Yamaha,good to see Steve on a motorcycle again. After
some bugers and fries a group of 9 bikes headed out FM 58, on to Zavalla and
across Rayburn on 147, in to Etoile where we stopped and visited for a while
before returning to Lufkin. The weather was just right.Plans are being made for
a Ride/Gathering in November. Stay tuned in and we will see you soon. Jimmy

Iaccoa is wrong.  America is just like the Titanic.  We hit the iceberg years ago.  The "Greatest Generation" auctioned off the future of their grandchildren in exchange for government goodies. 

My children are cattle owned by China.  If you don't believe me, watch this...

I'm not happy about it.  In fact, I'm pretty darn pissed off about it.

                Worth the time to read!!!






  

 


 
  cid:1.1772292357@web33503.mail.mud.yahoo.com

Remember  Lee Iacocca, the man who rescued Chrysler  Corporation from its death throes?  He's now 82 years old and  has a new book,'Where Have All The Leaders  Gone?'.
 

Lee  Iacocca  Says: 

'Am I the  only guy in this country who's fed up with what's happening? Where the  hell is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody murder! We've got a  gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff,  we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can't even clean  up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid  car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods  their heads when the politicians say, 'Stay the  course..'

Stay the  course? You've got  to be kidding. This is America , not the damned, 'Titanic'. I'll give you  a sound bite: 'Throw all the bums  out!' 

You might  think I'm getting senile, that I've gone off my rocker, and maybe I have.  But someone has to speak up. I hardly recognize this country  anymore..

The most  famous business leaders are not the innovators but the guys in handcuffs..  While we're fiddling in Iraq , the   Middle East is burning and nobody seems to  know what to do. And the press is waving 'pom-poms' instead of asking hard  questions. That's not the promise of the ' America ' my parents and yours  traveled across the ocean for. I've had enough. How about  you? 


I'll go a  step further. You can't call yourself a patriot if you're not outraged.  This is a fight I'm ready and willing to have. The Biggest 'C' is Crisis!  (Iacocca elaborates on nine C's of leadership, with crisis being the  first)

Leaders are  made, not born. Leadership is forged in times of crisis. It's easy to sit  there with your feet up on the desk and talk theory. Or send someone  else's kids off to war when you've never seen a battlefield yourself. It's  another thing to lead when your world comes tumbling  down.

 

On September  11, 2001, we needed a  strong leader more than any other time in our  history. We needed a steady hand to guide us out of the ashes. A hell of a  mess, so here's where we stand.


We're  immersed in a bloody war with no plan for winning and no plan for  leaving. 

 

Obama is  running the biggest deficit in the history of the  country. 

 

We're losing  the manufacturing edge to Asia , while our  once-great companies are getting slaughtered by health care  costs. 

 

Gas prices  are skyrocketing, and nobody in power has a coherent energy policy. Our  schools are in trouble due to poor leadership in school districts. 

 

Our borders  are like sieves. 

 

The middle  class is being squeezed every which  way. 

 

These are  times that cry out for  leadership.

 

But when you  look around, you've got to ask: 'Where have all the leaders gone?' Where  are the curious, creative communicators? Where are the people of  character, courage, conviction, omnipotence, and common sense? I may be a  sucker for alliteration, but I think you get the   point.

Name me a  leader who has a better idea for homeland security than making us take off  our shoes in airports and throw away our  shampoo?


We've spent  billions of dollars building a huge new bureaucracy, and all we know how  to do is react to things that have already  happened.

 

Name me one  leader who emerged from the crisis of Hurricane  Katrina. Congress has yet to spend a single day evaluating the  response to the hurricane or demanding accountability for the decisions  that were made in the crucial hours after the  storm. 

 

Everyone's  hunkering down, fingers crossed, hoping it doesn't happen again. Now,  that's just crazy. Storms happen. Deal with it. Make a plan. Figure out  what you're going to do the next  time.

 

Name me an  industry leader who is thinking creatively about how we can restore our  competitive edge in manufacturing. Who would have believed that there  could ever be a time when 'The Big Three' referred to Japanese car  companies? How did this happen, and more important, what are we going to  do about it?

 

Name me a  government leader who can articulate a plan for paying down the debit, or  solving the energy crisis, or managing the  health care problem. The silence is deafening. But these are the crises  that are eating away at our country and milking the middle class  dry. 

 

I have news  for the gang in Congress. We didn't elect you to sit on your asses and do  nothing and remain silent while our democracy is being hijacked and our  greatness is being replaced with mediocrity. What is everybody so afraid  of? That some bonehead on NBC news or CNN news will call them a  name? Give me a break. Why don't you guys show some spine for a  change?

 

Had  Enough? Hey, I'm  not trying to be the voice of gloom and doom here.  I'm trying to  light a fire. I'm speaking out because I have hope - I believe in America  . In my lifetime, I've had the privilege of living through some of    America 's greatest moments. I've also experienced some of our worst  crises: The 'Great Depression,' 'World War  II,' the 'Korean War,' the 'Kennedy Assassination,' the  'Vietnam War,' the 1970's oil crisis, and the struggles of recent  years culminating with 9/11.

  
 
If I've  learned one thing, it's this: 'You don't get anywhere by standing on the  sidelines waiting for somebody else to take action. Whether it's building  a better car or building a better future for our children, we all have a  role to play. 
 

 

Only a few people in the US know you elected a illegal alien to be President! A Muslim at that! And he jumped right in destroying the US from the inside. Osama bin Laden is smiling from ear to ear because he is winning the war on terror and you helped by voting his man in as President!

 

That's the challenge I'm raising in this book. It's a "Call to Action" for people who, like me, believe  in America '. It's not too late, but it's getting pretty close. So let's  shake off the crap and go to work. Let's tell 'em all we've had  'enough.'

 

Make your  own contribution by sending this to everyone you know and care about. It's  our country, folks, and it's our future. Our future is at  stake!!

 

Have a Blessed Day,

God Bless,

Connie

 

Today with God: I've never seen the wind, but I've seen it move the trees. 

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen...Heb. 11:1

 

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,

but by number of special moments that take our breaths away."

"Dreaming will take you to the foot of the mountain, but faith

will take you to the top of that mountain."

Your action is always the best interpreter of your thought !

The Lufkin SCRC will meet this Sunday, November 1st, at Wendy's in front of
Lufkin Wallmart, on Hwy 59 South, at 1:30 or 2: 00. This will give everyone time
to get there and if it is cool it will be warmer at that time of day. This
meeting is to meet NEW MEMBERS and plan a ride for November. Due to the rain
there has not been much riding and we need to do more, so be there and let's
plan a good one. Jimmy Wankan, F.O. Lufkin SCRC.

Who  knew?
  It  is not going to hurt to try  it!!!!!
 Take  those onions from the fridge and hide a  couple,
 when  you need to use one, take it from the bowl in the game  
 room,  and put a new one in the bowl! Don't worry about the  
 smell,  it's not peeled!
 
 
Do  you know how many people will be unemployed in the flu  vaccine business, if this gets out, and it worked!  Actually, there is lots of sulphur in an  onion.
 My  Dad always sauted or fried a large frying pan full on  onions when he was coming down with a cold, ate them up  & went to bed, & he was better the next  day!
 
  
GOOD  MORNING...How would you like to try this...it comes from  Abbot Peter who lives in Muenster with the Benedictine  Monks...Take care.... God  Bless.
  
  
Keep  healthy this winter, the easy way . . .Onions fight flu  virus.
 OK,  it is true.  After reading this you will think that  I have really lost it.  However, this is a true  story.
        In  1919 when the flu killed 40 million people there was  this Doctor that visited the many farmers to see if he  could help them combat the flu.   
 Many  of the farmers and their family had contracted  it
 and  many died.
 The  Doctor came upon this one farmer and to his surprise,  everyone was very healthy.  When the Doctor asked  what the farmer was doing that was different the wife  replied that she had placed an unpeeled onion in a dish  in the rooms of the home, (probably only two rooms back  then).  
 The  doctor couldn't believe it and asked if he could have  one of the onions and place it under the  microscope.  She  gave
 him  one and when he did this, he did find the flu virus in  the
 onion.   It obviously absorbed the bacteria, therefore, keeping  the family healthy.
 Now,  I heard this story from my hairdresser in AZ.  She  said that several years ago many of her employees were  coming down with the flu and so were many of her  customers.  The next year she placed several bowls  with onions around in her shop.  To her surprise,  none of her staff got sick.  It must work.   (And no, she is not in the onion  business.)
 
  
The  moral of the story is, buy some onions and place them in  bowls around your home.  If you work at a desk,  place one or two in your office or under your desk or  even on top somewhere.   
 
  
Try  it and see what happens.   We did it last year and  we never got the  flu.
 
  
If  this helps you and your loved ones from getting sick,  all the
 better.   If you do get the flu, it just might be a mild  case.
 Whatever,  what have you to lose?  Just a few bucks  on
 onions!

Near Fredericksburg, Texas, where there is a large German speaking population, a farmer walking down a country road
notices a man drinking from his pond with his hand.
The farmer shouted: 'Trink das wasser nicht. Die kuhen haben dahin gesheissen.'

Which means: 'Don't drink the water, the cows have sh** in it.'
The man shouted back: 'I'm from New York and just down here campaigning for Obama's health care plan, I can't understand you.
Please speak in English.'

The farmer replied: "Use two hands, you'll get more."

This scam does not affect residential or cell phone customers & only applies to
businesses, hospitals, government agencies, and other organizations that still
use telephone private branch exchanges (PBXs) rather than Centrex lines to
handle their calls.  On certain PBX systems  (i.e., ones for which pressing '9'
is the signal to obtain an outside line, and there are no restrictions placed on
outgoing calls), a scammer could gain access to place expensive, long-distance
phone calls by tricking an employee into initiating the sequence.  Outside of a
few other settings where one might have to press '9' to obtain an outside line
(such as hotels),  the likely result of pressing #-9-0 will simply be a fast
busy signal.

If you have any doubt whatsoever don't call an operator (most do not have the
proper knowledge to answer this type of question, simply call your telephone
company and ask for an actual Tech. The tech can verify that Only PBX systems
can be affected.

That being said, I would still not do anything asked by a stranger over the
phone considering any telephone tech can access 100% of your line for any
testing remotely with the exception of your physical lines on or in your home.

So basically unless you have to dial 9 to gain an outside line access from your
cell or home phone, you are safe!

90# on your telephone

 

I dialed '0', to check this out, asked the operator,
 who confirmed that this was correct so please pass it on . .. .
(l also checked out
 snopes.com.
This is true, and also applies to cell phones!)


  

PASS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW

 

I received a telephone call last evening from an
individual identifying himself  as an AT&T Service Technician (could
also be Telus) who was conducting a test on the telephone lines. He
stated that to complete the test I should touch nine(9), zero(0), the
pound sign (#), and then hang up.  Luckily, I was suspicious and
refused.


 

Upon contacting the telephone company, I was informed that
by pushing 90#, you give the requesting individual full access to
your  telephone line, which enables them to place long distance
calls billed to your home phone number.


 

I was further informed that this scam has been originating
from many local jails/prisons  
 DO
NOT press 90# for ANYONE..


 

The GTE Security Department requested that I share this
information with  EVERYONE I KNOW.


 

After checking with Verizon they also said it was true, so
do not dial 90# for anyone !!!!! PLEASE HIT THAT FORWARD BUTTON AND
PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!!

I won't be able to make the show.  Was looking forward to it.
 
Munster broke and I suspect will not be fixed by the 24th and my wife informes me I'm going to be in West Texas on business, unfortunatly real business rather than Monkey Business..
 
Sorry

Hi Jimmy,
 
It's OK that I can't go, there will be other rides.  I just like Jefferson a lot.  I'm sure you will all have fun.
 
Take care
 
Brian

Hey Brian, yeah to the Aunt Annie's. Only problem is it is usually crowded, which ain't no big thing unless your in a hurry. Wish you were able to go but it's always impossible to schedule a ride that fits every ones life. Hope the rest of October will be better riding weather. See you soon, JW

Hi Jimmy,
 
Expect you know, but Aunt Annie's in Jefferson is biker friendly and has good food.
 
Wish I were there so I could be going along.

Steve Lumbly and I are planning to ride to the motorcycle rally in Jefferson this Saturday the 10th. Several others are thinking about going and we all have one thing in common. There is a chance of rain Saturday and cooler temps. so some will stay home. If it's raining Saturday morning Wanda and I are not going. I will post a start time closer to Saturday. This is a gathering not a ride, all are welcome to go with us if we can go. Jimmy

Left Charlies at 10 as planned and rode up to Henderson for the first scheduled stop. There Jim Whipple and Troy Johnson turned around and returned to Lufkin. Jim has just began to ride some. It was good to see him out again after his illness. Wanda and I rode on up to Jefferson where we enjoyed about 5000 bikers in just the downtown area. Good music, lots of food and a ton of bikes. Weather was cool and damp but never rained more than a few sprinkels. We got home at 4:30 and was glad to hit the hot shower after a cool ride. John and Joan Mcgee tired to ride but slipped down in some red mud close to their house and didn't continue. John said they were OK and so was the bike. Plan on some rides soon. Stay tuned in. Jimmy Wankan.
