September 21st-Snap-A-Cap Day
« on: September 21, 2020, 08:28:08 AM »
Today, September 21st, is our forum "Snap-A-Cap" day. If you have the opportunity, please snap a cap and drink a toast to our fallen "Sunset Riders" members who have gone on ahead of us and feel free to post a pic or two if you wish.

Due to the extreme fire danger here in WA State, I don't foresee snapping a cap.

We are forecast for a mini deluge on Wednesday of 1"-2" of rain here, with Westerly Pacific Ocean winds of 20 mph, which will be a godsend. We have had less than 1/2" rain in the past 3 months.

I have already downed a few in remembrance this afternoon. Whiskey/branch water (Chehalis River)/rocks (made from River water).

Life is good in the boontoolies.

Salut!

Jim

Prepping for a salute to fallen members Jim, Steve and Richard...



After snapping a cap and drinking a toast to all three...




I would have liked to snap a cap for each of our Sunset Riders, but when living in suburbia, I don't need to be pushing my luck...

Gentlemen, we are once again fast approaching our annual "Snap-A-Cap Day" in remembrance of our fallen comrades, adding to this year's list the late Jim Padberg, a.k.a "Sourdough". We will miss his wealth of knowledge, humor, and overall friendliness as we salute those who have gone on ahead. Please hoist up a toast of your favorite beverage, and if the opportunity avails, snap a cap on the evening of September 21st in remembrance!

I might add...if you are an imbiber, Jim's favorite toasting accessory was Early Times whiskey. Just sayin'.

Preparing for the 21st, I found a rare picture of Steve (aka DD4). He kept an extremely low internet, mail, email and text profile (and wizely so). I took this picture on a late night in Cheyenne, after some drinks at his Veteran club, with the unspoken agreement not to spread it. Now then, things have changed and he cannot be reached or hurt any more, I therefore feel free to share it wih you guys. He was a really good man, who had had a lot of bad luck. Wife and I remember him with fondness.

You are right, Steve was a very private man who did very nice things for people.

I know he was extremely nice to me.
