GPS & Trip planning
- From: Frank1955

Description:
Because I am technologically challenged in this area, I need the Cruiser Community's help. I recently added a Garmin Zumo 660 GPS to my ride and I'm having an enormous amount of fun with it. However, I would like to be able to loosely plan a trip on my PC and upload the plan to my GPS. I have found a few programs on the net that partially address this, but they all fall short of the need for simplicity. Does anybody know of a program that can address this for me? I'd really like a program that can upload the plan in one or two clicks without having to convert file types 80 times before it will actually work on the GPS.Secondly, if anybody knows how to show the lat/long of saved locations? For instance; I meet someone on the road who tells me about a cool place they've been to, and want my buddy, who is travelling separately, to meet me there; how does the helpful stranger give me the lat/long and I give the lat/long to my buddy?
Like I said, when it comes to a GPS, I really am challenged. 555+

The Vietnam Veterans Mobile Wall and Tribute
By Robert (Rocker) Votrain
I am a member of the Patriot Guard Riders an organization mostly known for escorting our fallen heroes to their final resting place while riding motorcycles.
I had been informed the “Wall” was coming to Desloge for well over a month. And the Patriot Guard was going to be involved with the escort and with part of the program honoring our fallen. The “Wall” would be in Desloge from Sept. 30th to Oct. 4th with events and services scheduled every day.
The excitement of our impending mission grew through e-mails as the date grew near and I,wanting to ride with a group, scrambled to find someone from my area to ride to Potosi with. The BACA riders of Farmington asked me to ride with them but I wanted to travel a different path than they had planned to ride that day. Poppy, the former chapter President of Farmington's BACA, agreed to meet me in Bismarck. As I went to top off my tank I met Noel ,owner of Bismarck ATV and Custom Cycle, who along with his son was also going to Potosi. So now there were 4 of us. Leaving Bismarck the air was sweet and crisp traffic was light as we cruised down Highway 32 to Highway 21 to Potosi it was honestly a beautiful morning and road to ride.
When we arrived I was surprised by the turn out of motorcycles and custom cars that were going to participate in the escort. There were also several State police officers,Sheriffs, emergency vehicles and official cars lining up. As they began staging the vehicles I went to a predetermined area and waited for the opportunity to shoot a few pictures as the main body went by hoping to join in to the rear of the motorcycle procession. Finding my vantage point I shot several pictures of the lead group of vehicles, the limo carrying the Mayor of Desloge and the bikes before I hurriedly tucked the camera away and joined the tail of the group of bikes.
The procession was impressive. About 150 bikes, 10 or so custom cars and all the other vehicles, we stretched for about 4 miles. On coming traffic would pull over as we met them, people in the out lying areas came out of their homes and waved flags and cheered. We ended the escort in Desloge at the VFW Post 2426.
The Ride to “The Wall”.... October4th 2009....
Sunday just felt different. I grabbed the camera and dressed warm the morning air had a definable bite to it... Loaded the bike and headed to meet the Patriot Guard Riders in the Walmart Parking lot in Desloge for the Ride to the Wall.
Before I go any further I want to say if you are not Patriot Guard you really need to be. It is an honor to support our Heroes and those who have fallen to save our way of life. I suppose it takes a little time out of our lives but shouldn't we have a reason to ride and what a better reason than to show the world we are Patriots and support our troops.
The gathering of the local Guard brought about about 85 bikes. Some carried regular sized flags others not so much. We put or passenger pegs down as to symbolize carrying one of our fallen with us. We lined up two by two and waited for our police escort to signal it was time. We were headed for the city park where “the Wall” was assembled and displayed. Once we arrived we lined up tail light to the wall side by side about 10 or so feet in front. About 200 spectators were on hand to watch our ceremony honoring the Vietnam war fallen.
All but one bike was in this formation. The last bike was carrying the American flag a POW flag and a Patriot Guard flag. It was decorated with a Kevlar helmet and boots set in the back pegs facing backwards. Just like they used to put the boots in the stirrups of a horse backwards to show the rider had fallen in battle. As he passed we showed respect by covering our hearts and standing at attention. As a group we all walked forward and placed our right hand against the wall. The experience was so very moving. It brought tears to everyone's eyes. They played the National anthem and a prayer was given then a young girl sang a song she wrote about the Uncle she never met... Someone who had died defending our country... The group mingled with the onlookers and the Patriot Guard Riders ceremony ended...
“ All gave some... Some gave all....”
Interesting facts about “The Wall”
This version of the Wall is 180 feet long. Which is about 80% of the original Vietnam Veterans memorial wall in Washington DC. Which is 246.75 feet long, composed of 70 separate inscribed granite panels, plus 4 at the end without names; the panels themselves are 40 inches in width; the largest panels have 137 lines of names, while the shortest have one; there are five names on each line, although with new additions of names, some lines now have six; the walls are supported by 140 concrete pilings driven approximately 35 feet (some are at 20 feet) to bedrock; at the vertex the walls are 10.1 feet in height. There are 58249 Names on The Wall in Wash,DC.
The youngest Vietnam KIA is believed to be Dan Bullock at 15 years old.
The oldest person on the Wall is believed to be Dwaine McGriff at 63 years old.
At least 5 men killed in Vietnam were 16 years old. At least 12 men killed in Vietnam were 17 years old.
There are 120 persons who listed foreign countries as their home of record.

There were several other memorials that also travel with “the Wall”. They are a Memorial for the people who died in the towers on 911 along with the people who died in the hijacked planes. There were also memorials from the Korean war and WWII. Flags, ride pins, patches and artwork commemorating all the Wars America has fought were for sale. Also on display was a replica tiger cage where American POW's were held and tortured. And a rifle helmet and boots tribute along with dog tags of our sons, daughters, mothers, fathers who fought and died in Iraq.

New Management Policy
Dear Employees,
Due to the current financial situation caused by the slowdown of the economy, Management has decided to implement a scheme to put workers of 40 years of age and above on early retirement.
This scheme will be known as RAPE (Retire Aged People Early).
Persons selected to be RAPED can apply to management to be eligible for the SHAFT scheme (Special Help After Forced Termination).
Persons who have been RAPED and SHAFTED will be reviewed under the SCREW program (Scheme Covering Retired Early Workers).
A person may be RAPED once, SHAFTED twice and SCREWED as many times as Management deems appropriate.
Persons who have been RAPED can only get AIDS (Additional Income for Dependants and Spouse) or HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel Early Severance).
Obviously persons who have AIDS or HERPES will not be SHAFTED or SCREWED any further by Management.
Persons who are not RAPED and are staying on will receive as much SHIT (Special High Intensity Training) as possible.
Management has always prided itself on the amount of SHIT it gives employees. Should you feel that you do not receive enough SHIT, please bring to the attention of your Supervisor. They have been thoroughly
trained to give you all the SHIT you can handle.
Sincerely,
The Management. - Blog post
