Memphis Police Officer Gets Into Slugfest

I have watched my fair share of “Cops” but I have never seen a police officer actually stand toe to toe with a perp. Normally they tackle, taser or mace the bad guy to get the upper hand. Not this cat from Memphis! Pretty sure this officer has done some boxing in a former life! Our boys in blue {or whatever color they sport in Memphis} taking care of business. [...]

It’s time to release your inner beast and nail down that first Iron Butt ride.

Charley Barnes Is No Fairweather Rider

I have now owned my current bike, an Electra Glide Ultra Class, also known in the riding world as a “Geezer Glide” for just over 4 years. I sat down last week with my mileage records and what I saw on the calculator summed up what I already knew: I ride A LOT! After crunching the numbers my yearly average over 4 years was an astounding 16,128 miles per year. [...]

Army Spc. Chase S. Marta Among Those Who Died For You Last Week – Week 19 [VIDEOS]

When a soldier pays the ultimate price and lays down his or her life protecting the freedom of our great country it goes largely unnoticed; until now. Every week I post names of those “who gave all” so I can pay my respects and remember why I/we have the freedom we do. This should be the most shared piece of the week, every week, so let's not forget to let others know so our soldiers don't die in vain but can look down knowing we all think they are the hero's that they are! You have full authority to share this weekly post anywhere you like.

Charley's Mexican Salad

Hey, the kids will love this (so will you), and its cheap to make. Yup, that’s my kind of dinner. Being a single parent I am all about making new things to try that are on the cheap but fun. It was a friend of mine, Jerry Clark, who sent this to me awhile a back and finally decided to try it over the weekend. So here is what you [...]

Tuff Hedeman and the CBR

The year was 1993 and Bill Clinton had just taken office when the average price of gas was a $1.05 a gallon, and who could forget “Achy Breaky Heart” being played every 15 minutes for what seemed a lifetime. It’s was also the same year 4 time PRCA Champion Tuff Hedeman put on his first bull riding event called the Tuff Hedeman Championship Challenge. This event would go on to [...]

Remembering Our Fallen Tribute Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day Weekend means many things to many people whether we have served this great country or not. I don’t know one person who doesn’t know someone who has served be it their Grandfather, Father or friend of a friend. EACH one of us has Military ties and we pay homage to them every Memorial Day weekend without fail. Remembering Our Fallen is a tribute display to all those who [...]

To Homeschool or Not to Homeschool Is the Question!

I have struggled for a couple years now about homeschooling my youngest child who has found school a constant struggle for many reasons and I only want the best for my child and I am not sure, for him, the public school system is the way to go…for many reasons. My biggest concern was the ‘social interaction’ but today I find myself not thinking it’s a big concern considering my [...]

Jamey Johnson Heads to the Grizzly Rose [VIDEO]

Jamey Johnson is an American Grammy Award nominated country music artist. You probably only know the name for a couple songs namely the Top 10 hit “In Color” and “High Cost of Living.” In addition to writing most of his own material which I respect greatly, Johnson has co-written singles for Trace Adkins, George Strait, James Otto, Joe Nichols and Jessie James. He is fantastic to see live and you [...]

Navy Lt. Christopher E. Mosko Among Those Who Died For You Last Week – Week 18 [VIDEOS]

When a soldier pays the ultimate price and lays down his or her life protecting the freedom of our great country it goes largely unnoticed; until now. Every week I post names of those “who gave all” so I can pay my respects and remember why I/we have the freedom we do. Sometimes names are added after I post this so you can check back during the week for names that have been added and you all should be sharing this post on your FB pages weekly as a reminder to others.

Journey 4 Justice One Year Anniversary Ride: June 1-3

Hard to believe it’s been almost a year since I rode out to Topeka KS with Kenny Oldson, Jay Tamlin and Chad Blanco to express our right of free speech on the doorstep of the westboro baptist church and we proved to all the doubters that we didn’t need permission and/or permits to be on a public sidewalk with my American Flag and many across the country responded. Hard to [...]

Who IS Whiskey Myers? [VIDEOS]
