HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!!! Well another year has come and gone, this one really flew by. I guess it's just part of life and getting older as we loose friends and family and of course our beloved pets. I didn't make my goal in riding miles, which really, I have never had a goal, it just happens. But with the seven day work schedule, it has not givin me the freedom that I have been so fortunate to have over the years to just take off when ever I wanted to and ride. I am thankfull that I have a job and one that fit's me purrfectly. We are closed until January 2nd, so I have had some much needed time off. I'm headed to Minneapolis in the morning for a few days to spend New Years with my HELLKAT Sisters up there. I will be back next year and hopefully I will find the time to update this site. As for the inquiries, no I'm not on facebook. I can't find the time to update here, so I surely don't have time to socialize there. When I got online the other day, under my private screen name I had over 300 unread emails alone. Happy New Year!CG

HOLIDAY SEASON I lost my little Isabella two week's ago. She wasn't doing real well, has had lot's of problems over the years with skin allergies, thyroid problems, arthritis, but she was my long time rodeo companion, traveled across the country and back with me. I had given her a bath in the morning because I was going to take her to the vet late afternoon. I let her outside and she walked around the shrubs and I only turned my back for a second and she had walked back into the mudroom and was laying on the rug breathing real heavy. I picked her up and she had a heart attack right there in my arms and died within one minute. I guess it was God's way of sparing me the grief of possibly having to make the decision later on that day as whether or not it was time to put her down. Work has slowed down quite a bit. I'm finally getting a life back, we're closed on Sun and Mon for the winter months. I usually spend Sunday sleeping and I'm working out again with Sensei on Monday mornings, man am I out of shape. Spent Helloween in Minnesota with my Hellkat Sisters and I will be heading up that that way over the Christmas/New Year Holiday period. Our shop is closed during that time, so I'll have some time off. My daughter came over for Thanksgiving, and we had the usual Turkey dinner, just the three of us and all the critter's. Pretty much have put Cruella up for the winter. haven't got much riding in this year, I'll be lucky to turn 15,000 before the year is over. I ride to work every day, but that's only a 52 mile roundtrip. If I know it's going to be a shitty day, than I'll take my truck on that particular day to get supplies whie I'm in town. Hammer is running real good, just about 65,000 mile on him now. I was looking up some stuff for Sturgis for this next year and I browsed at some of the pictures and didn't have to look far to find this one, it was a thumbnail leading to a whole page of pictures. Yup, I'm wearing Red & White striped socks with below the knee cropped jeans, my version of shorts on a bike, which I seldom do. Already making plans for this next year and it is a week later this year being the 70th and all, so don't screw up thinking that it's the first week. You can get all the info at www.sturgis.com I wish you all a Merry Christmas in case I don't get a chance to get back here before that(and it's OK to say MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Later, CG

IT'S BEEN SIX MONTHS.......... So it's not like I haven't wanted to update this place like I used to do, but I haven't had time for much of anything these days. I'm working 6-7 days a week, 10+ hrs a day. I don't even get to see my horses anymore, they're in the barn when I leave in the morning and the same when I get home at night. I made it to my Karate Banquet and Tournament back in June and got my year end award in Sparring only since I didn't do much competeing this past year. The tournament itself didn't go well for me as I screwed up my Kata and yes.....got DQ'd in my first round of sparring, this time for excessive contact and unsportsmanlike behavior, whatever that means. We lost the dojo where I trained at, but I do get to go workout if I can find time in the morning before work at a gym. I very seldom get to train with my sensei, hopefully we will be closing the shop on Sunday and Mondays soon. I get to ride to work everyday, but that's just a big tease, I've only put 10,000 miles on my bikes so far this year. Hammer turned 60,000 this month. I was able to ride to MN over Memorial day and I went to Sturgis and had the best ride out there I have had in years. Partly do to the fact that I was so needing to get away from work and the weather was good except for the hail storm in Sturgis. I got two dents in Hammer's front fender. I've been riding the Pan to work quite a bit, she's running good as ever. I have my one year in at the shop this Wednesday and I get 10 days paid vacation that I have to use before the end of the year, so I have a long Labor Day weekend planned and lot's of riding to do. I will try and stay current here. Thanks for your letter's of concern, but I'm fine, just don't feel much like sitting at a computer if I have two hours of free time when I get home before I have to go to bed. I posted some pics below, 4th of July, one from the banquet and one of me and Big Schwag and then some from Sturgis. Hope your all doing well, CG

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!! Celebrated the big 50 two week's ago, I sure don't feel like I thought 50 was going to feel like. Yeah, my joints and bones ache, but I haven't led the normal lifestyle of most women either. So for all you youngster's out there, it's not so bad, in fact life gets so much better. I get teased at work because I'm always eating healthy and the only meat I eat there is canned chicken, so they got me a 3lb.8oz can of chicken breast for my birthday. Not sure why we have mouths open and tongues out, I think it may have had something to do with fresh strawberry daiquiri's. I thought Spring was here last week, but not sure today, turned a little cold again, 70's last week, back in the 40's for highs and maybe some more snow this week. The days are getting longer as it is no longer dark by 5:00PM. Working has really put a big stop to my road trips. I never took the freedom for granted because I have always worked, but yet I was able to create my own schedule. I get up at 6:00 and get home around 8:00 which makes for a long day. Next month the shop will be open seven days a week, luckily I will be on a rotation and will have Sundays and Mondays off. I rode in yesterday morning and when I got off my bike I was just at the right angle to notice my front rocker box was leaking on Hammer. I took the extended warranty and it has paid for itself more than once. Got it up on the lift and noticed that back cylinder was also starting to leak, so I got approval to get both cylinders done and going to have new valve seals as well. I checked my records and there is over 40,000 since the Big Bore was done, so it's time. Been getting myself back into shape for a few tournaments this year, first one being in April. It doesn't take long to loose your endurance especially between Thanksgiving and New Years. I've got myself back up to five rounds in the ring. I have a makeup session in the morning, not really what I wanted to do on my morning off, but.....I accidentally set off my fire extinguisher behind my truck seat and I inhaled all that dry chemical stuff this past week right before my workout. Not sure what is in that stuff, but I couldn't get any air during my workout, so we cut it short. Don't have to much planned the next few week's other than the Donnie Smith Bike show in Minneapolis at the end of March. I so need a road trip on my bike. Have a great week, CG

LOS ANGELES
Still feeling the exhaustion from this past week in CA. I went for a tournament and got time to spend with somes friends out there too. The tournament turned out to be a flop, not at all what we had invisioned it to be, in fact, we were disapointed to say the least. It was 2nd place down the line for my Sensei, Kim and myself in kata and Kim took 1st in underbelt sparring. They imposed these RULES while we were there, no groin contact, no excessive contact, no blood, no this, no that...........There was only two girls for me to fight with and they gave me the bye for the first fight, so I would fight the winner of that fight. Well they barely got going and the center judge started imposing excessive calls on the one girl which were not excessive at all, next thing you know the other girl is going down to the ground, looked like she fainted, it was weird, but the other girl got DQ'd, the winner was on the ground and I had no one to fight. So I called on my Student Kim to do an exhibition fight with their permission and they said yes since she was my student. We decided we would show them how this was supposed to be done and before you know it the ref stops the fight, tells us to keep it under control and I'm like, this is my student, believe me, she can take the punishment as well as dish it out. I played with her a bit, but don't get me wrong, she can definitely pull her own.We got a big round of applause for entertaining the crowd. Lot's of wasted money going there, but I spent a few days with my friend and he took me sight seeing around the LA area, so it was more like vacation than a tournament for me. I gave my medals to the little girl at the home where he lives. Ok, for all you John McCain Supporters, Kellie Pickler and Kid Rock Fans, they will all be at the Buffalo Chip on the same day, Monday, August 4th, I will be there, my one oportunity to hear him speak. Please take a moment and watch this video link below. Have a great week, CG http://www.johnmccain.com/videolanding/documentary.htm These pic's were taken during the briefing of the rules, you can see the "U GOTTA BE KIDDIN" look on our faces when they were telling us what the contestants would not be allowed to do during the sparring

FREEDOM RALLY JULY 4TH I left out of here on Thursday July 3rd and rode up to WI just past Madison where I met up with Powder at her cabin. Of course, it was raining when I left, rode 200 of the 400 in the rain, but by the time I got there, the sky had cleared and it cool and the sun was shining. We took a walk down to the lake and had dinner and called it an early night. Got up around 6:45AM, after coffee and a shower we were on our way to Albert Lea,MN to meet Red. Red's riding an old shovel known as PIG BITCH and BITCH she is and she choose July 4th to show her Bitch self off. Started the morning with Red telling us that the coil had come off, broken bolt and would be late. We slowed our pace and got to the Truckstop an hour later than scheduled, got a call from RED and now there was a loose wire from the coil that had to be fixed, meet you down the road. We detoured our original route to meet up with her and finally they putted in. I'm not even going to go there as to PIG BITCH'S behavior the rest of the weekend, it's a shovel, do the math. We got to Algona later than expected and still found a pretty good place to pitch our tent's. Friday night Jackyl played and Saturday it was Joe Diffie. I have to give a huge thumbs up to Iowa ABATE, they sure know how to put on an event top notch. They had trucks coming through all day cleaning the outhouses, very clean shower house, cheap cold beer and food available 24hrs. This is the old Humboldt Rally in case you were wondering, it will be an annual event from now on for me. Saturday we went on a poker run 100% payback and I came in third and took home $175.00 cash. Since it was a fun run put on by the local bars, I kept it instead of donating back like most events we go to. That paid for my gas (can you believe I'm saying that?). We also stopped by the Grotto of Redemption which was on the poker run route,I'm thinking it was in West Bend, IA, all made of stone, pretty cool to walk through it and check out the artwork. We hung out Saturday night and watched Joe Diffie and headed back to camp around midnight. I made camp coffee every day and I guess you could call it getting old, but...we were up both mornings by 7:00am, not hung over and ready to go, feeling the pain of our neighbor's around us and being that the coffee was way up on the hill at the concession's, we were glad to share. You know, been there, done that to many time's, and waking up in a campgound without a hangover was a first for me, and it felt good. I drank a couple beer's, but I like the taste of beer, not the effect, so by midnight, I was back to Soda. We said our goodbyes while Red wrenched on PIG BITCH AGAIN and Powder and I rode East together as far as Cedar Rapids and we parted ways. Had a great weekend. I'm going to Los Angeles on Thursday and will be back after next weekend. Have a Great Week, CG

"IRAN IS A TINY COUNTRY, NOT A SERIOUS THREAT"
Famous "WORDS" just "WORDS" from some community organizer in a suit named BARACK HUSSIEN OBAMA who somehow is now the Democratic Nominee for the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!! The picture above is the test missles that Iran fired off a couple days ago that are capable of wiping out Israel and US Bases. But according to Obomba, Iran isn't a serious threat, just a tiny country. MY GOD, would you please wake up and put down the koolaid, grab yourself a beer and a shot of Whiskey instead and STOP listening to the left and all their Bullshit on this guy. He doesn't have a CLUE as to what is going on in this world, how the HELL do you expect him to be our LEADER? Iran Leaders have mocked him, of course they didn't name him specifically, but they said "THEY don't think we are a threat" they we're quoting Obomba. YOU ARE EMBARASSMENT TO THE USA IF YOU DON'T SPEAK SPANISH, FRENCH, GERMAN OR ANOTHER FOREIGN LANGUAGE ACCORDING TO BARACK HUSSEIN OBOMBMA! English is the UNIVERSAL language and what we speak here, go back to Africa, Iran or where ever the hell you please, but get the fuck out of the USA!!!!!! ARIGATO! I can't help but keep posting here, I'm scared, real scared. Wake up AMERICA! If you buy one book this year, buy FLEECED by Dick Morris (personally I can't stand the guy) and please read it before the Nov. election's. The choice is yours, I made mine.
NOT TO HARD TO FIGURE OUT!

JOHN MCCAIN
I know I said no more Politic's but I feel I owe you and our Country an apology for ever supporting Hillary Clinton as I was blinded by the DNC. I feel like a fool for not looking further into John McCain's background and allowing myself to listen to all the lies from the left. He is no doubt the BEST canidate that we have to choose from. This week my husband got the news that he will be loosing his job at Chrysler after more than 20 years due to them closing the STL plant. This is the second time since we have been married that my husband will loose his job at an American Auto Plant. People are flocking to the Imports and the Dems will not drill for oil. My suggestion to them is that each family get themselves a ricshaw and take turns hauling one another around and give up their gas and diesel powered cars. To any of you that are drinking the Obomba KoolAide, how the HELL are you going to run that Harley on windpower or electricity, huh? And THEY don't want to even do that right now for wind power is an eye sore and it will kill the birds, can't use water power, it will kill the Salmon. Can't build giant solar panels in barren desert because they don't know what effect it will have on the enviorment if we steal energy from the SUN! No Nuclear Power, did you know that France is run on 80% Nuclear Power?We are the safest Nation when it comes to Enviromental Protection and the fact that they don't want to drill for oil is rediculous. Do you think any of these foreign countries that we have let ourselves become dependant on give a damn about the enviroment when it comes to drilling?Obama is going to double the Capital Gains Tax, now that my husbandis losing his job, that is going to effect us with our life savings for his retirement. He is going to tax Inheritance, taking away Bush's Tax cut, he is going to tax us about a billion dollars to go for Global funding to feed the rest of the world when we can't even afford to feed our own people. He has the nerve to say he is more qualified than John McCain because he is a Harvard Grad, fuck him! The only experience he has is sitting for 20 years in a racist church that spews hate against white people from every pew, hanging around with a unrepented terrorist who he sat on the board with for the Woods foundation which is linked on Trinity's Church website. How convient that they have now pulled the archived Grants that he and William Ayers gave to all these hate groups, go to the website, their gone. Overnight his nasty wife has turned into Martha Stuart. When it comes to National Security and our economy, John McCain is the only answer that we have.How dare them put down John McCain's military service to our country! I guess the people don't realize that we don't have a Draft, the people enlisting in our Military to go fight for our country are doing it because they WANT TO YOU DUMB FUCKS! I have two nephews that enlisted because they WANTED TO GO FIGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY! You don't think that they realized that they may sacrifice their lives for us when they did this? My father was a Navy Seal and gave more than 20 years of his life to our Military. My uncle was a POW. All the men in my family including my Immigrant Grandfather served this country Proudly and Obomba can stick his new found patriotism up his ass! Have a Great Independance Day and I'll see ya at the Freedom Rally, CG

4TH OF JULY I didn't do so well at the International tournament this year. I made a huge mistake in my kata, made something up, got through it, but the damage was done. My fighting didn't go to well either, won the first fight and second fight gave up a point for excessive contact and she ended up beating me by that one point before time ran out, I finished third overall. My three students did well,walked away with two first's, a 4th and a fifth place and they are all beginner's. We attended the award's banquet the night before, I was given two plaques for second place overall for the year in Forms and Sparring, more than I expected since I didn't get to compete much due to the shoulder surgery. I will be going to CA in a few week's to compete out there. This weekend I'm riding up to Wisconsin, than over to MN and then down to Algona, IA. for the Freedom Rally. Please be safe and remember all those who served our country. CG
