THANK YOU to Cliff Anderson for the lettering on the rear fender of “the Beast”.<span> </span>It far surpassed my expectations, which is
what happens when give a true artist free reign.<span> </span>But a word of explanation is in order.<span> </span>The annual Donnie Smith Bike Show at Saint Paul
RiverCentre is coming up fast: March 23-24 (this weekend). As part of it, I was
invited to be one of 20 builders to display the bike of our choice in a new
part of the show called the “Midwest Showcase”. And while it’s an honor to be
invited, I am NOT really a bike builder – I’m an engine builder. But I thought
this would be a great opportunity to promote vintage drag bike racing, so what
better bike to display than the version of the dragbike I raced back in 1986
& 87. However, rather than leave the attendees wondering what an old
dragbike that is far from show quality is dong next to 19 bikes that I am quite
sure will be real works of mechanical art, I decided to have the lettering done
as a bit of an explanation for its presence. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">BTW, if you look closely at the "T" in NATIONAL, you might notice that Cliff took the initiative to make it into a cross. I certainly did not expect that, but it is a really nice touch and I very much appreciate it.<br /></span></p>St. Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01238671101561121436noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582429758941507301.post-15759649344430564102024-03-16T16:25:00.000-05:002024-03-16T16:25:16.907-05:00Who You Hang With ...<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

font-family: inherit;"> This is a brief post from one of my personal living heroes of the faith, James White of Alpha & Omega Ministries. I'm passing it on because it reflects both a Christian and a conservative political worldview concerning the attack on Israel this past weekend.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">"<span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">I have lived long enough to see a great deal of war and conflict take place in and around Israel.
This is the first time it is so blatantly obvious that the Regime that has captured control of the US has aided in the attacks, AND, will use them to further destroy the US itself.
Just one little jolting bit of reality: the Regime (it is not an administration when it ignores the Constitution and undercuts our laws) has not only opened our borders and allowed MILLIONS of military aged men to invade our country, but it has also DRAINED our strategic petroleum reserves to historic lows (currently only 17 days) right when a war is breaking out in the Middle East and the Regime has strangled domestic production. Coincidence? Only to the brain-dead moron. When your children are going hungry because there is no food to be purchased because it cannot be transported any longer, I hope you will remember the traitors who destroyed us from within.
(And please note: I am not addressing the justice of this judgment: the traitorous betrayal of our nation is quite fitting given the nation's detestation of God's law and God's ways.)"</span></span></p>St. Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01238671101561121436noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582429758941507301.post-84244860166088164912023-10-08T16:10:00.001-05:002023-10-08T16:10:14.952-05:00Proverb of the Week Plus Trivia<p> The wife and I made a trip to Northwestern Montana last week, so I missed posting a Proverb of the Week, but I'm still at it so here is another. BTW. here is some interesting trivia. From our home just a bit southwest of Minneapolis and traveling to Kalispell Montana, when you get to Miles City Montana, you're only half way there. Bonus trivia: The spell check on "Blogger" doesn't know how to spell Kalispell.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5PwPnMIZ2BdfNMmc3e2Gcl1sLCOsUCXvIMzPg9CJYlpLlvjbI9yI3rJo-wgs9eRLc0-rRbX-fqR0jzLl6q5xG3tFTKA4IAvuetNqA0SBO5BMa3dmOQFA3xC7YBID7P-IR-m7wcNlh8cAKDfLUVFtvMuDFigONJugxZIvcLyb2isI4cpqdmlO_HCXKLpsd/s576/Proverbs%2004%2018.19.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="568" data-original-width="576" height="395" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5PwPnMIZ2BdfNMmc3e2Gcl1sLCOsUCXvIMzPg9CJYlpLlvjbI9yI3rJo-wgs9eRLc0-rRbX-fqR0jzLl6q5xG3tFTKA4IAvuetNqA0SBO5BMa3dmOQFA3xC7YBID7P-IR-m7wcNlh8cAKDfLUVFtvMuDFigONJugxZIvcLyb2isI4cpqdmlO_HCXKLpsd/w400-h395/Proverbs%2004%2018.19.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>St. Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01238671101561121436noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582429758941507301.post-71691395972350402262023-09-21T18:42:00.001-05:002023-09-21T18:42:16.588-05:00Never Too Early For A Proverb<p><span style="font-size: medium;"> I'm a little early with this week's Proverb because I needed to get it posted so I can concentrate on finishing the message that I will deliver this Sunday morning at ValleyView Baptist (God willing, that is). If all goes well, I may post the sermon here later, when time allows. BTW, a special thanks to those of you who let me know that there are still a few out there who read blogs such as this.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioZvZM3JIUvnWj_YKemvaadNvq8p3sbPoJxBDbYAERIfJc5H9UqTlWLuHX0v1WY4jKYSroqbgFJ_A-wBHf0DuksrtZbxBxNRhGo2bKmWjW865TmeqlQGsEjxiYuyMgVCDb6AGb7vqXFgl6cVQuewA5XzQDt7hev8u1fJuA0vJFjjR02TMabI7IPGYsjndb/s573/Proverbs%2003%2025.26.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="431" data-original-width="573" height="301" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioZvZM3JIUvnWj_YKemvaadNvq8p3sbPoJxBDbYAERIfJc5H9UqTlWLuHX0v1WY4jKYSroqbgFJ_A-wBHf0DuksrtZbxBxNRhGo2bKmWjW865TmeqlQGsEjxiYuyMgVCDb6AGb7vqXFgl6cVQuewA5XzQDt7hev8u1fJuA0vJFjjR02TMabI7IPGYsjndb/w400-h301/Proverbs%2003%2025.26.png" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /> </span><br /><p></p>St. Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01238671101561121436noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582429758941507301.post-14689422648092060102023-09-18T11:57:00.001-05:002023-10-14T11:35:32.647-05:00A Proverb On Discipline<p><br /> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJebH3Yj6vkGeRUthDZnp1GE0H--ENxFp4uyQZjrRbrVTCaVJPK__iXlNovVhoHFjE3u5T1WN6ajnlQHUPNN2Yjg38eMND_NlY00YNuMUYiAJS2C5VY9six2FpZMzMY3Lv0yEyJ_C77dQn_IhVk2urI_OaUxtB7lPR0D-zcnFiiztjmuh3njMaBYgR9xTz/s576/Proverbs%2003%2011.12.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="568" data-original-width="576" height="395" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJebH3Yj6vkGeRUthDZnp1GE0H--ENxFp4uyQZjrRbrVTCaVJPK__iXlNovVhoHFjE3u5T1WN6ajnlQHUPNN2Yjg38eMND_NlY00YNuMUYiAJS2C5VY9six2FpZMzMY3Lv0yEyJ_C77dQn_IhVk2urI_OaUxtB7lPR0D-zcnFiiztjmuh3njMaBYgR9xTz/w400-h395/Proverbs%2003%2011.12.png" width="400" /></a></div><p></p>St. Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01238671101561121436noreply@blogger.com0
