Toys for Tots 2025 The Sandies 43rd visit to the Event.

11 Sandies made this event  that used to kick off the Christmas Riding Season. I should say it used to, Now it’s a great charity event. I think 440 Bikes, Folks not sure how many. It’s a great place to meet old friends, I ran into a Class mate, I graduated high school with. Class of “66”, the School is now Miegs Middle school. Getting old ain’t for the weak I tell you.  

Tony G joined us and it was great to see Tony, he’s been a bit absent lately, just great to see you. Mark S sans Lorna rode with us, Mark is getting ready to hit the High Seas, again. Just got back from one and shipping out again.  Another Sandie that has been absent but no longer, Munchkin. Munch had surgery on both wrists and is feeling so much better, thank you very much. Tommy also just returned from a Rode Trip, went up to North Carolina. Tommy got to experience riding a motorcycle, in SNOW. Yep The S word also had temps in the 20’s but heated gear helped a bunch.  Now to add to that Adventure Ken C was along for the freezer driven fun. Ken also experienced the Snow and below freezing temps. I have learned that those Rides with things like Tommy and Ken experienced make those trips the most memorable, they create special memories that last forever.

No adventure would be complete without a healthy dose of Sandy S . Oh did we get a healthy dose all right, another Toys for Tots almost brought to its knees cause of Sandy. Now Sandy did take some great pictures as did JoeJoe. We are fortunate to have such great pictures like JoeJoe and Sandy they document our Adventures so well, thanks to you both.

We were lucky to have Bobby B with us , Bobby has been going from one conference to another lately. Hopefully Bobby will be able to ride with us at least through the holidays.

It was a good Toys for Tots, had a lot of fun, met old friends and had lunch at FatBoy’s in Niceville.

Speaking of Holidays our Christmas Party will be Dec 6^th with a change. It will be a Christmas Party / Luncheon . Yes a Luncheon, as we get older the bed times get earlier and earlier. So to see if it will help keep us together a bit longer we  decided on a lunch. Still at Casa Edna’s, still a Pot Luck let Edna know your coming with your pot luck . Fun starts at 12 noon Dec 6^th. Hope to see you there.
