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.

Well, I pray everyone has gotten home safely by now, cause the sky opened up and dumped a BIG bucket of water on Hardtails for about two hours during the monthly COC & I meeting. Mini-me our Region 1 Chairman kept the meeting short, because we had to hold it inside the restaurant instead of out back because of therein. Thank you Hardtails for the hospitality. There was also the Dean memorial crawfish boil after the meeting, but I confess Debbie and I headed home after she gave blood, so i didn’t get any photos of that event. The good news is that the rain did finally let up, so for those that stuck around it probably worked out just fine.

COC & I = Confederation Of Clubs and Independents, an organization that seeks to protect the rights of all motorcycle riders using the tried and true political process.

We had our first COC&I meeting this year at the Roadhouse today. Attendance might have been a little light because of the weather. We had sprinkles on and off. But we had a full slate of speakers, from our usual MiniMe and Woody, to Christopher Ward who is running for Representative District 52, Mike Sweeney who is running for Congress, and last but certainly not least McKinley Melancon who is running for Judge of County Court at Law 5. This was definitely a good meeting, and Oh yes, we had a lawyer speak obout Family Law. Everyone stayed around after the meeting so we could talk and ask questions. It was great.

Well, it was a warm day, but not as hot as yesterday. So, Debbie and I road our bikes out to the Roadhouse for the July COC&I meeting. We had a little lighter attendance than usual, probably because of the heat, but we still got to hear from lots of good speakers. There is still lots of work to do in protecting our rights, specifically in the anti-profiling area where things seem to be heating up. So, always be civil, but if you encounter a restaurant that doesn’t want to serve you because of the vest or shirt you are wearing or because you rode up on a motorcycle, be ready to explain to them why you won’t be returning and neither will your friends.

As a chaplain, my words may sound too political, but Jesus stood against injustice, so though I do not advocate any form of violence, in Matthew 21:12 “Jesus went into the temple complex and drove out all those buying and selling in the temple. He overturned the money changers’ tables and the chairs of those selling doves.” He was infuriated that the money changers were ripping off the people coming to the temple, and overcharging for pigeons that were used for sacrifices. Injustice plain and simple.

Ok, I will get off my soapbox now. Enjoy the photos;
