A Geezer Party in the Desert

Have you ever gone to a party thinking maybe it won’t last too long and you can get home early?

I was invited to a getogether  with a bunch of super-geezers (60+ riders) thinking it would be fun but may drag on since I was  a day away from leaving on a trip to Mexico and not yet completely ready.

Well as it turned out I was having so much fun watching and listening to some of those guys tell stories that before I knew it the guy I rode to the party with came looking for me and said it was time to go. I thought, “what do you mean it is time to go!”  I wasn’t done listening to the next story from one of my new friends.

I was having such a good time that the afternoon was gone and I had only scratched the surface on the wealth of information I was being exposed to. This group of guys had so much knowledge and were willing to share it if only I would sit down, shut up and listen.

I found out so much about the surrounding area in property values, geological make up, who lives  where and for how long, where to get work done on equipment,  where to buy or sell precious metals and even got an invitation to stop by any time I was out on a ride.

It was put on by a guy named Fred Sessions that is a tick or two past his 80^th birthday! His right hand man in this whole outdoor desert barbeque was a guy named Chuck Owens who is quite the master fabricator/builder. He is a youngster at just 72 years young!

All that was required of anyone was to show up with whatever you wanted to barbeque, your brand of beverage and be prepared to have a good time.

Their whole excuse for getting this together was  3 of the guys in the group were having birthdays in the month of March. Sounds like a perfectly good excuse to me.

I just hope I get to have all the birthdays  they have had and enjoy  riding and get-togethers as much as they still do.

I also hope I get invited to the next wing ding they put on!

Thanks guys,
