After spending the winter in the warmer climate of South Central Texas to try and improve my health I headed back to the hills in April to work on my place and be close to my mother. I was feeling pretty good when I got there. That didn't last long though. Stress is a real kill joy.
Mom had been battling Dementia and passed away shortly after I got back. I spent her last weeks with her and I am thankful for that time.
If you have someone or know someone with a family member that suffers from Dementia I am so sorry. That is the most horrendous thing a person can have or ever deal with.

Sept. 26, 2015
Bikes, Blues & BBQ went off without a hitch this year from what I can tell and have heard. I haven't heard of any major trouble of any kind. I did see a couple of lesser police problems as they unfolded. Basically the same things you see at any gathering, One guy was way too drunk in public and a minor that was bound and determined to be part of the show. Both were dealt with quietly and professionally.
This, the fifteenth year, seemed to me to have been a bit smaller than previous years. I didn't see the flashy custom bikes on the curb that I've seen in years past. There were several, just not the numbers from the past gatherings. It even seemed to me that the crowds were down. You could get up and down Dickson st. without too much difficulty. Maybe it was because the event organizers have been try to spread the thing out over a greater area?
All in all, this was a fun three days for me. Lots of bikes and biker types. I even found some good food. The vendors were not too hard to deal with, I got a couple of things for the new ride pretty reasonable. So all that with my Photography ambitions, all was good. I'll probably try it again next year.

Couple of "hardcases."
Vendors were everywhere.

This particular ride was reminiscent of the legendary "Road dog." It did get up and down the road pretty well.
