COC&I Meeting, Companeros MC BBQ Cook Off

Note: I apologize for being a couple of days late posting these, I also shot video, and posting the photos just slipped my mind…mind…mind…

This was the weekend when the Companeros have their annual anniversary party and BBQ Cookoff. It also coincided with the COC&I meeting weekend…. Hmm.. I think this happens every year…Ok, anyway Debbie and I went out Saturday for several hours of fellowship, and then Sunday before the COC&I meeting was the BBQ judging, and as it happens, Debbie got to participate in that as a judge. I didn’t get to try all the BBQ, but what I tried was really good. Next up was the COC&I meeting, starting with presentations about our rights if we get stopped by law enforcement and about cell phone and electronic security. They were given by Attorney Millie Thompson and her Technologist husband Eric Thompson. Millie and Eric was very informative, well received. My videos are posted below with the photos. Oh, and Debbie and i received an award for our contribution to COC&I as photographers. Thank you COC&I. Unfortunately I wa embarrassed, so there is only a fleeting picture of me with the award, but I got a good shot of Debbie receiving her award.

Bentwood Texas, Companeros MC BBQ Cook Off

This is a two day event, so we went out this afternoon for a relaxing but hot time. Fortunately Bentwood has lots of shade, and fans, and misters, to help keep the heat down. We had a great time socializing, including Debbie participating in the wheel of knives, and me getting to shoot a photo of the custom Doritos chip that just had to be created specially for the occasion. WE hung around till a little after 4pm, then the heat started to get the better of us, and we headed home to the AC. Fear not though, we will be back out tomorrow for the BBQ Cookoff. If you ain’t got nothin to do tomorrow, come on out and enjoy the…. heat… Oh, and a taste of some great BBQ too! This is a competition, so there isn’t a lot of BBQ for the spectators to fill up on, but there is always plenty to get a taste of, and that is free as long as it lasts.

UCOA meeting, Willie's Joint

We had our United Clubs Of Austin (UCOA) meeting today down at Willy’s Joint in Buda. It was a light meeting, perhaps because of the heat, but we still had lots of people there. Thank you to Willy’s Joint for hosting us this month. I took video of the Pledge Of Allegiance, which is posted below, and I have attached a few pictures.

Be sure to check out the UCOA calendar at UCOTEXAS.ORG for all the coming events.

Looking Forward – Chaplains Moment for UCOA July 15th

12 Thursday Jul 2018

You have heard the expression that your past can come back to haunt you. There certainly has been enough in our community to haunt us if we dwell on it.

Philippians 3:13 encourages us to; “Forget what is behind and reach forward to what is ahead“

Our lives are not defined by what happened in the past. Let that sink in for a moment. We have a bright future. A future that is being defined at this moment, and in all the moments ahead of us.

Let me give you some examples. As I pick up my cell phone and consume my daily dose of Facebook, I see notices of brothers and sisters in our clubs that have gotten together for a ride or for fellowship. I see men and women that just purchased new bikes. I see Companero Bobby has almost finished the ground up rebuild of his sporty. The weekly bike nights are doing well, and I can’t remember the last time I heard of someone in our community that got into a fight. Ok, It may happen, and I may not hear about it, but I know for a fact that we have something very special here in UCOA. I have heard many people talk about how they went to a meeting in another area, and came away thinking UCOA is way better than those other areas because of what we have. What do we have that is so special? That’s easy, we have mutual; Respect, Integrity, Fellowship, Cooperation, Brotherhood, and Participation, to name just a few. These are all characteristics of our community, and they are also characteristics that bring other clubs to join us.

Earlier I said that what we have is easy. But, It is not always easy to maintain. It takes effort, especially when someone gets on our nerves. But the effort is worthwhile, both for our reputation and for the satisfaction and joy we get from being part of a group that can work together to accomplish a goal and then play together when it is achieved. Our future is bright, and I look forward to even better days ahead.

In Jeremiah 29:11 God said; ”For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

God does truly desire a good life for each of us, if we will just seek Him.

Jeremiah 29:13 says; “You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you”—this is the Lord’s declaration—“and I will restore your fortunes”

God is true to His Word, so we can be certain that He will complete the work He has started. I for one want to be around to see Him finish His work in our community, how about you?

Heathens MC Anniversary Party and Benefit for Karl

Heathens Anniversary Party, Medical Benefit, Time Out Sports bar

We headed out North to the TIME OUT SPORTS BAR in Liberty Hill this afternoon for the Heathens MC Anniversary party and Benefit forKarl’s medical expenses. It was nice when we headed out, in the mid 80s, but shortly after we arrived, the sky opened up and it poured for about an hour. I guess if I had checked the weather radar, I would have seen it coming, but for me it was a surprise. The good news, is that the rain held the temperatures down in the 70s, and we had a couple of groups of hardy bikers come in through the rain. There is just no stopping a party and benefit. We saved out appetites for the food plates they were planning to serve, and because of the rain, lunch got off to a slower start than planned, but it was definitely worth the wait. We were served boneless smoked chicken with a side of potato salad, and ranch style beans, plus all the BBQ sauce, onions and jalapeños we could handle on the side. Yummy stuff I’m telling you!
