DAGO COUNTY HAMSTERS CHECKIN’ IN–It is now 6:00 pm. I believe all Hamsters here are in safe territory now, with no loss of homes. The fires still do rage on, so we will see what tonight brings. I am sure that the TV coverage shows plenty, but I have attached some photos from my house as the fire moved in at night, then photos from the next day. Many, many people had it much worse (everything gone) but these are on my street and around the house. Ash everywhere, but the air is now clearing in my area, and the winds have let up.
Again we all thank you for the kind thoughts and support.

BIKERNET HALLOWEEN ADVICE–Some people are just never happy with what they have or what they get!A bald man with a wooden leg is invited to a Halloween party. He doesn’t know what costumeto wear to hide his head and his leg, so he writes to a costume company to explain his problem.
A few days later, he received a parcel with the following note:
Dear Sir,Please find enclosed a pirate’s outfit. The spotted handkerchief Will cover your bald headand, with your wooden leg, you will be just right as a pirate.
Very truly yours,
Acme Costume Co.
The man thinks this is terrible because they have emphasized his wooden leg and so he writes a letter of complaint.
A week goes by and he receives another parcel and a note, which says:
Dear Sir,Please find enclosed a monk’s habit. The long robe will cover your Wooden leg and, with your bald head, you willreally look the part.
Very truly yours,
Acme Costume Co.
Now the man is really upset since they have gone from emphasizing his wooden leg to emphasizing his bald head so againhe writes the company another nasty letter of complaint.
The next day he gets a small parcel and a note, which reads:
Dear Sir,
Please find enclosed a bottle of molasses and a bag of crushed nuts. Pour the molasses over your bald head,pat on crushed nuts, stick your wooden leg up your ass and go as a caramel apple.
Very truly yours,
Acme Costume Co

SHERIFF JOE IS AT IT AGAIN–Maricopa County was spending approx. $18 million dollars a year on stray animals, like cats and dogs. Sheriff Joe offered to take the department over, and the County Supervisors said okay. The animal shelters are now all staffed and operated by prisoners. They feed and care for the strays.
Every animal in his care is taken out and walked twice daily. He now has prisoners who are experts in animal nutrition and behavior. They give great classes for anyone who’d like to adopt an animal. He has literally taken stray dogs off the street, given them to the care of prisoners, and had them place in dog shows.
The best part? His budget for the entire department is now under $3 million Teresa and I adopted a Weimaraner from a Maricopa County shelter two years ago. He was neutered, and current on all shots, in great health, and even had a microchip inserted the day we got him. Cost us $78.
The prisoners get the benefit of about $0.28 an hour for working, but most would work for free, just to be out of their cells for the day. Most of his budget is for utilities, building maintenance, etc. He pays the prisoners out of the fees collected for adopted animals.
I have long wondered when the rest of the country would take a look at the way he runs the jail system, and copy some of his ideas. He has a huge farm, donated to the county years ago, where inmates can work, and they grow most of their own fresh vegetables and food, doing all the work and harvesting by hand. He has a pretty good sized hog farm, which provides meat, and fertilizer. It fertilizes the Christmas tree nursery, where prisoners work, and you can buy a living Christmas tree for $6 – $8 for the Holidays, and plant it later. We have six trees in our yard from the Prison. Yup, he was reelected last year with 83% of the vote.
Now he’s in trouble with the ACLU again. He painted all his buses and vehicles with a mural, that has a special hotline phone number painted on it, where you can call and report suspected illegal aliens. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement wasn’t doing enough in his eyes, so he had 40 deputies trained specifically for enforcing immigration laws, started up his hotline, and bought 4 new buses just for hauling folks back to the border.
He’s kind of a “Git-R Dun” kind of Sheriff.

MOTO-ST GST DAYTONA REPORT–Daytona Beach, FL — James Gang/Hoban Brothers Racing riders Paul James, Jeff Johnson and Walt Sipp finished third in class and twelfth overall at the MOTO-ST 8 Hours at Daytona season finale. It was the #70 Buell team’s fourth Grand Sport Twins (GST) podium finish in the deepest, and most competitive field of the season.
James Gang/Hoban Brothers Racing ended the season third in MOTO-ST GST championship points with one win, one second place and two third place finishes. The team never finished outside the top five.
“Daytona’s Victory Lane is a sweet place to end the MOTO-ST season,” said team owner Paul James. “After finishing on the box in all three MOTO-ST events held so far at Daytona, we’ve come to expect nothing less.”
“It was a great weekend for our team,” said Hoban Brothers’ John Dahmer. “Our riders clicked off consistent lap times, our pit stops were solid and our 2008 Buell Thunderstorm engine worked flawlessly. It was a total team effort.”
The team’s Buell Firebolt XB12R completed 216 laps of the 3.5 mile Daytona International Speedway road course during the 8 hour event and passed the post race dyno test with the same horsepower as measured before the start of practice the day before.
In the Championship Cup Series races held at Daytona during the same weekend, team rider Jeff Johnson won the CCS Lightweight Formula 40 National Championship race aboard his Hoban Brothers Racing Buell. James took third in CCS Lightweight SuperSport, fourth in GT Lights and fifth in SuperTwins aboard his Buell.
“The Buell XB12R has been a good endurance racing platform for us,” said Crew Chief Mike Kirkpatrick. “We kept the bike mostly stock and had strong, consistent results. We’re already looking forward to next season.”

THE IRISHMAN AND THE MORMON–The Mormon was seated next to an Irishman on a flight from London. After the plane was airborne, drink orders were taken. The Irishman asked for a wiskey, which was promptly brought and placed before him.
The flight attendant then asked the Mormon if he would like a drink. He replied in disgust, ‘I’d rather be savagely raped by a dozen whores than let liquor touch my lips.’
The Irishman then handed his drink back to the attendant and said, ‘Me, too, I didn’t know we had a choice.’
