FROM SUNDAY THE 30TH OF SEPTEMBER:
I went for a ride with a friend of mine Sunday. He is partly responsible for my getting into motorcycling… We went up into the hills in Northwest CT and a took this shot of him with his 1972(3?) Norton. I didn’t take any of my bike or me… The weather was perfect at 70 degrees and not humid. Too ad the weather is going to get cold soon cuz I really would like to hit the road a lot… Cheers…

BOOT CAMP, MARINE CORPS BASE, SAN DIEGO - 1943
Yarbz, my #2 son, invited me to tell this story after I referred to it briefly in a recent comment.
The first morning after a short night’s sleep in the barracks, still scared numb by the always yelling and demanding Sergeant M.M. Camp, we fell out for the purpose of filling out various personal information forms. I suppose it was important to know everything about us in case we came home in a body bag.
Instructions were not stated, they were screamed, like “in the first block, print your last name, not write it you filthy dumb asses, print it!!”
“In the second block, print your first name, and in the third block, print your middle name. Not your initial, turd head, your full middle name, do it, right now!!”
Well, I don’t have a middle name so I was absolutely petrified, but I had to do something, and quick. So I filled the block as follows: B (only).
Afterwards, we were called to formation again, and while standing at attention in perfect silence, Sgt. Camp bellowed out, like a man speaking through a bull horn, “OK, who is this perfect shit head named Barkley Bonely Yardbird?”
I was saddled with the name “Yardbird” for many months, until I finally made Corporal.
Looking back, I’m not sure why I loved every minute of my years in the Corps, but I did.
So What’s Up With Spazticus /Buddha
Well all, it’s been a wild ride for me the last year. All the events I am going to tell you and many I won’t prior most likely caused my lack of blogging. So here it goes…
