We spent the weekend at Old Glory for the TMRA ll Freedom Ride sponsored by Tri County chapter. Arrived about 4:40pm Friday and could see that the run would be larger than last year. We went out to Bills farm where riders were relaxing by swimming or floating in the lake and just sitting around getting acquainted and reacquainted. They had added a very large covered patio to Bill's work shop that made the camp location much more comfortable. Bill also made his air conditioned camper bus available for the wife and I that made nights much more relaxing for our nap times. The facility came with room service as BIll deliverd morning coffee both Saturday and Sunday morning. We dined on brisket burritos with home made Pico DeGueyo on Friday night.. What a treat.
A really unexpected treat for this old man was the arrival of Revvv riding his Sportster in from El Paso to take part in the weekend and renew his TMRA ll membership as requested in the Warrior. This pretty much set the tone for the weekend for membership registration. We'll leave the reporting of the activities to the chapter and they will have plenty to tell. I can safely say they will report a successful weekend.
We went to work Saturday with member apps and pen in hand. By day's end we had registered 25 renewals and 13 new members. This number included 6 members of Aces & Eights M/C who rode in just to join the Association. Del also presented us with 6 renewals and 2 new memberships from Lubbock. More food and visitation lasted well into the night followed by church services on Sunday morning and the eight hour trip back home. Thanks to all those who worked to make this a successful weekend. Special thanks to the old man of the woods (Bill) who so selflessly opened his home to all who took the time to stop in and share the weekend fellowship.
We hope that all Warriors are taking care of their renewals and searching for new members. Your chairman will be on the road for the next month or so taking the message to riders across the state. Hope you are doing your share to help in your local area. It is now time for a soak in the garden tub, a shave and nap.
Have a Happy Fourth of July and remember what this holiday is all about. Then pledge to do your part to reinstate our Constitual Republican form of government so our heirs aill have cause to celebrate our efforts during future 4th celebrations.
