< Southern Comfort - Cowboy's Journal >

A journal about things I do and places I go. Southern Comfort was originally about my 2010 motorcycle trip through the south, in search of a little Southern-style peace of mind. Over time, the blog evolved into a biker-related journal, with stories about my experiences with people, places, and things! If you want to see what I'm up to, Welcome! Start anywhere, but to ride along on the 2010 Southern Comfort trip, it's best to start at the beginning. Thanks for visiting, and enjoy. Ken, aka Cowboy

Ho, Ho, Ho!

Merry Christmas, everyone. I hope everyone gets their Christmas wishes, and that Santa Claus treats you as well as he's (so far!) treating me. I've got my health, my family, and the best friends a man can ask for. And a couple Harleys. :-) That said, if one more shows up under the tree, I won't send it back.

Funny, a few years back, while doing some last-minute Xmas Eve shopping, I stopped in a Hummer dealer just to see what those new H3s looked like. In the showroom was a new bright red H3 with a huge red bow on it. Two hours later, they opened up those showroom doors and I drove it away! So this morning, I stopped in Patriot Harley Davidson, and right inside the doors was a kick-ass Harley Limited. Ruby was just about to put a big bow on it. Yikes! I begged her to wait until I got out of there before putting it on. Not sure I could resist!!!!

It was good to see all my great friends at Patriot HD this morning. Bobby, Mark, Ruby, Jeff1, Jeff2, Keith, Tim, Alison, Marika, Kris, Danny, Vicki, George, Leah, and so on. If I missed you, I'm sorry, but Merry Christmas to everyone! Patriot HD is a terrific HD dealer....stop in and tell 'em Cowboy sent ya.

And now.....

I'm outa here. Stopping to share an early Christmas with my kids and grandkids, and then hitting the road. Maybe Harrisonburg tonight, Nashville tomorrow, and maybe a stop to see Dawn and Kevin at DK Customs near Memphis. After that, I'll make it to Fort Worth, Texas, to see the Girls of Azle and do a little work on the house. DAMN little. It's vacation, right?

Stay tuned....Might have a little fun on the way, and I'll keep the blog updated if I do. Hell, I might just lie about it and make up some stuff....

Happy Holidays!
Cowboy

...and Harrisonburg it was. Pulled in about a half hour ago, with eyes that didn't want to stay open. R&R time...

Nite folks...Merry, Merry Christmas to you. Mine was just terrific. Great night with my family. The way it should be...Hoping yours is the same.

!! MISSING SC PHOTOS !!

A few (as of 9/23/2012) of the approximately 139 Southern Comfort posts are still missing pictures due to a change in Blogger that I didn't anticipate. I keep working on them, and I'm getting there, but there were a total of about 60 that lost the pix, and this really turned out to be time consuming. Each frickin' picture had to be found on my hard drive and republished into the post. Alas, some posts were just deleted; I had no idea where the pix were.

I've re-published many of the recent posts, and lately, I started back at the beginning, working forward. One of these days, I'll meet in the middle and be done with it. So yes, there are pictures missing, and no, it's not anything to do with your web browser.

Content / Article Searches

Southern Comfort has outgrown any imaginable proportions, now including posts and articles of all kinds, now dating back a couple years. If you're looking for anything in particular not viewable on the home page, use the search widget in the upper left-hand corner of the Blog in the menu bar. Enter a keyword or phrase and see what comes up.

For example, type in "Pitbull Lift", run the search, and you'll find all posts that mention Pitbull Lift. Then you can use the CTRL F function to run a page search to find where the search keywords appear.

High-Resolution Copies of Photos

I was recently asked if I had high-resolution copies of photos in this blog or from the Snapfish links in the right hand frame of this webpage. Except for a few that I shamelessly stole from others' Facebook pages, I have many of the newer (say mid-2010 forward) pix in hi-res format. The file size is typically 2-3MB, and some are even larger, up to 10mb. Files of that size are great for enlargements, wallpaper, or whatever, and even zoomed, the detail is good.

If you want one, or a bunch, I'll try to help out. Send me an email and a thumbnail of the photo you want. Keep in mind I can only send a few of those large files in a single email, and sending several emails with large attachments might fill up your email box.
