I hope everyone had a Merry CHRISTmas!

The folks on my favorite motorcycle forum, http://www.rideohio.org/ decided to do a round up for toys for tots. This whole idea came from my friend Tim aka "TDog" and what a wonderful idea it was. Thanks Tim for thinking of this and the children.
Over the period of a month toys were sent to Tim, Bill aka Warlock, and myself, Redtrk.
On December 13th Bill came over from Columbus and I met him in Vandalia where we merged our toys into my truck and drove them to Wauson, Ohio to meet up with Tim and also Jeff aka CUZ.
Were were also joined by Tim and Jeff's better halves.
From Tim's shop we left in three vehicles and went over to the Marine recruiting station to meet up with the Sargent and delivered our toys.
Many pictures were taken that day and i'm sure we put smiles on a lot of children's faces as well.
We then delivered ourselves to a local Mexican restaurant for lunch and some conversation. after lunch we said our goodbyes and headed for home. This may seem like a short and maybe boring entry to this log but it had a meaningful delivery to some children with smiles attached so I found it worthy. The only thing that might have made this better is if it had been a bike trip to deliver toys.

Merry CHISTmas to everyone and may you New Year be a safe, healthy, and enjoyable one.
