​Re-Purpose Your Focus:
RPYF - Doc is MIA this week and I am writing this myself kind of late but here goes. Its been a long strange week. Living in Seattle and seeing all the shelves empty ect. It makes you wonder what the hell we are actually doing... are we ready for all of this mess. I am currently quarantined myself for 14 days which means working from home and waiting for test results. All while trying to remain sane. One thing I have figured out is to avoid social media. Between the constant bombardment of information to the complete incorrect information being passed from person to person. Remember, that game telephone from when you were kids where you would start a off with "I saw a green car" and by the time you heard it again it was. "I heard a bat and then saw a purple cat". This happens in the internet all the time. Stay safe and ride fast after motorcycle travel is the best social distancing form of travel available.
 
​Re-Purpose Your Focus:
RPYF - Signs, Signs everywhere there's signs.  Blocking up the scenery, breaking my mind.  Do this don't do that can't you read the signs.  Anybody else hear that song in their heads no matter where you go anymore?  I'm not down playing the seriousness of the current health issues that are now surrounding us on a daily basis but I also refuse to stop living.  This of course is just my take on this.  Restaurants are closing their doors due to lack of customers afraid to go out, major businesses asking their employees to work from home, schools doing on line learning for now and so on and so forth.  Here is the one thing that I see that hasn't changed......the overall Biker Community.  We are a hearty bunch and we may not shake hands but there is definitely a fist bump with shoulder hug.  There is still a sense of camaraderie, togetherness and social interaction.  We still have the hard exterior, chew your face off, tear your head off shit down your neck persona but we can also be brought to our knees for a cause that is dear to our hearts.  We have a meeting coming up on Thursday.  I've seen many of you over the last few weeks in and out of work and I hope that I see many more of you tomorrow night.  The one night of the month that we can come together as family is one that I look forward to.  I've said it before and I'll say it again, when I greet you at the meetings it is because I am truly glad to see you.  I may not remember your name just because I'm f'en older now but I still recognize your face and that's what makes my month.  Not the fact that I recognize you but the fact that your are there for me to recognize you.  I get the reluctance to come out but let's fill the Eagles, enjoy each other and celebrate like the Cascade Renegade Riders that we are.

Thank you to Doc for your weekly
​Re-Purpose Your Focus from Doc:
    RPYF - As I sit here about as brain dead as I can be, my thoughts roll around to time and energy.  I think about the time and energy that Casey put into the Burn Children's run this year.  I am also reminded of the the time and energy being spent by the volunteers on the upcoming BRF Dinner and Auction.  There are the 2 monthly rides that are planned by the individuals leading the rides unless it's me and I make it up as we go along.  Even the monthly get togethers, time and energy to get you as much information as possible and to make sure you have a nice meal to sit down to.  Is it really time and energy, that makes it sound a little daunting or is it a labor of love because we all believe in who we are and what we do.  So as you are sitting there thinking time and energy you know that you are wrong.  We do what we do because our group is an extension of our family.  Are the things we do for our families time and energy?  Yeah ok sometimes it's like that but for the most part it's because it's a labor of love to show our kids and siblings that we do care and it's important that the time we spend together is quality.  Just like all the things we do for the Cascade Renegade Riders.  Yes it can seem like time and energy but the truth of the matter is that we do it because we care.  We do so that when someone new walks through the door there is no hesitation and they are welcome to our group.  We do it out of our love for riding and feeling the breeze on your face and the exhilaration of cracking the throttle and twisting through the back roads at a few miles over the speed limit(unless you are following Don and that's another story).  Through the cookie sales, the rides, the patches and t shirts that are made and the various events throughout the year that we do for the kids.  Folks that is not time and energy that is a love and a belief that what each one of us does and contributes in our own ways really does matter and the what makes this group The Cascade Renegade Riders.
