It was a good thing I turned around I was able to see my mom who took a turn for the worse and passed away yesterday. I didn't talk about it cause I didn't want to bring anyone down on Sunday but my mom has been in the hospital for three weeks before I left for Indy. I wasn't going to go but before I left the Dr said that my mom was doing good and on the road to recovery. My mom assured me I should go. When I got the call in Louisville I was told that wasn't the case anymore. Mom wanted to go home and do hospice care at home. It was a race against time to get her home before she passed and we're able to keep our promise to my mom to get her home. Sorry for the long story just filling people in if they wondered why I had to bolt so fast and not say goodbye to many people! I never even got to thank the owner of the place in Louisville for lunch.

@bjk81 I am so very sorry for your loss, I lost my father in February 2 weeks after we agreed to buy the bar/restaurant from them. As far as the lunch we attempted to provide for everyone, there was one very hard headed (generous) "Posse" member that insisted on covering the tab... so we can all thank that undisclosed individual.

4 bags of mulch in the passenger seat...

Just for clarification there were two more bags in the floorboard...
How much mulch could a slingshot sling if a slingshot could sling much mulch ?

Wow ! What a wonderful week we had ! I am glad to hear everyone is making it home safe and sound... Kim,Tracy,Tony and I pulled out of Maggie Valley about 11:00 am and were safely parked in the drive at 5:00pm. I want to thank @ivor and team and all of the awesome vendors that made SSITS17 a very special event to remember. It was wonderful to finally meet some of you and great to see some old friends again. A special thanks goes out to @Painter for the perfectly matching "fastest red" steering wheel and @WingShot for the "gently used" shifter knob with "fastest red" stitching.
I also want to thank Scott and family at Slingshotsonly for... well you know what you did !

So we at Hitching Post Inn are eagerly awaiting the arrival of "PAINTER'S POSSE" you guys ride safe and we will be ready for ya Monday.

Ok I've got some good news and some bad news !

The bad news...
Hitching Post burned down the night before last

The good news...
IT WAS NOT OUR BAR ! it's a competitor, across the river from us in New Albany, Indiana
While we feel very bad for the owners we are extremely grateful it was not our establishment.

NOTE: Yes @Tripod I do have an alibi that's my story and I'm sticking to it

The phone # at the Hitching Post Inn is (502)239-4724 just in case any of you need to contact me between now and Memorial Day. Or if any of you are on FB my real name is Kevin Greene... I have been away from the forum more than I like lately due to the fact I am networking on FB trying to build up New clientel at the bar. Here's wishing for a bright sunny day on Monday ... Safe travels and Kim and I are anxiously awaiting everyone's arrival !

Looks like a great place to hang out @Slunglow. You are doing/did a great job. Please let the bikers know, we didn't classify the Sling as a motorcycle. I have been cruising before and had bikers out of the blue yell, "That's not a motorcycle" at me. I yell back, "I didn't say it was" and wave.

@WOLF I've had a few haters make comments mostly the ones that think they are bad asses... I always say "show me your bike" and when I can't find a kick start on it I say that's not a real bike like my other one at home. Lol

Refurnished Beer Garden ...

Last Wednesday's Bike Night at the Hitching Post Inn...

Beer Garden full of Bikers...
Note: Insert Slingers and I think we're good to go !

Quote from MiM

Hey... What's @Slunglow been up to? The bar business, huh... I'm missing him! He was my gently used Sensai...

I'm still alive @MiM ... Just been a little busy polishing my "gently used" bar!

NOTE: There you go @Tripod it's all teed up for ya.

Ran into @KYJoe57 at the Hitching Post one day this week,he flew some relatives in from Germany,said they were testing the food to make sure it was "Painter's Posse" worthy. I had to leave before I heard how we scored but I think we would have been notified by now if we flunked so I guess we're good to go. So y'all hurry up and git yer asses down here !

Oh and just for the record Kim and I officially took over yesterday at 10:00 a.m. So if any of you have been wondering why I haven't been on the forum much lately it's because I finally had to step in to the 21st century and become a Facebookian. (Kim said it would be good for business) Damn I hate when they're right.

And your 'Shine closest !! LOL

Quote from SlingRider

@Travis you have been added to the official Posse list (nothing special, just put you in the list on the first post).
I know depending on weather you said you might trailer, we do not have issue with trailer trash. Please feel free to still join us either way.

Look up @EjFord he is putting together a contact list for all in the posse.

Just a reminder for those that are meeting up in Indy at 8:00am at the Bob Evans. This race weekend for the Indy 500 so might be a bit busy.
try your best to be there a little before 8 if at all possible.

If you do not have my contact info please PM me so I can get it to you.
Thanks.

And yes we are officially at 17.

EDIT: I thought I would clarify. We have 17 slings either driving or trailering. We have most of the team starting from the beginning and then we pick up some of the folks along the way. We have over 25 people in the posse. A great group and I can't wait to ride with ya all.

@Slunglow - You better be ready for some hungry folks..

Bring it on,the more the merrier... We got this !
I am starting to think as the size of the posse grows replacing the daily menu with "Burger,beans,chips and slaw" might be in order ? I want to do everything I can to make the "Painters Posse Hitching Post pit stop/photo op" enjoyable as possible while keeping in mind everyone wants to arrive in Maggie Valley in a timely fashion.

@ivor when @Twisted affliction made the double reservations this past Sunday evening the second couple was for us, Kim and Kevin just wanted to give you an FYI in case it caused some confusion.And to further clarify the shirts we will need are 2-xl's and 2- mediums for the ladies... Thanks Brother !

Quote from Guardian_Angel

So very sorry for your recent loss @Slunglow, I was fixing to start a "In Loving Memory" thread in the Ladies section when this thread showed up as a similar thread. I think I will still post it for those of us ( me, inparticularly) who need some kind of outlet to share, remember, discuss, or just help heal from such painful losses. God bless you, and keep you under His Wing while you are sorting out your grief.

Thanks @Guardian_Angel That's a kind act for you to take on ... I'm sure many including me will appreciate it.

Not directed toward any one individual just thought everyone might get a kick out of this...
Especially the club @MiM has recently become president of.

Quote from MiM

@MiM You're killin' me Balls ... I mean Smalls !
