mickey jones: Bikes & Blues 08 Sends Out A HUGE Thank You To Its Sponsors! - 04/11/08 07:52 AM

 
The Mickey Jones 2008 Bikes & Blues for St Jude Children's Research Hospital events last weekend were a huge success!
We don't have a finally tally of the event totals yet, but I can tell you that we passed last years amount of $37,500!
We could not have done this without the help of our all of the sponsors that stepped up to the plate to make our events as successful as they were and I would like to give them each a little recognition.
Where better to that then right here on Active Rain and Localism?
In no particular order, here … (4 comments)

mickey jones: Bikers Descend Onto Pelican Bay - 09/13/07 03:42 AM


 
 
 
 
 
 
On Saturday, September 8th the residents of Pelican Bay, a gated "golf community" here in Daytona had their quiet lifestyle interrupted for a couple hours by the thunder of around 50 bikers and their machines.
 
They were riding up and down Pelican Bay Drive and in and out of the Pelican Bay Country Club, side by side on their shinning machines, but no one told the residents why their otherwise quiet lifestyle was being so noisily interrupted! Yes, Steve and I were among them.

You've waited a long time for this one haven't you? You want to know how many bikes were on the ride, how much money did we raise, how did everything go?
                                                                      
It was a beautiful day, no threat of rain, nice and warm, perfect for our Bike Parade. I took over 360 photos this day, but I couldn't manage a good shot from the back of our 82 Shovel-head, of the actual ride.. HOWEVER! I did hook up with a photography club and they were placed thru-out the parade route with still and video cameras, when I get some of … (13 comments)

mickey jones: Simple Things - 03/04/07 12:34 AM
What does one write about when one has nothing Real Estate related to write about, and I'm about "Evented" out until next month. I do have one more big event next month but I'm not ready to put yet another event on Localism. I do have another "Keeping Children Safe"blog started but that does have to wait for reasons you will understand when it is posted. So, thought I would tell you about my nice quiet rainy cold Saturday. I sat snuggled in my recliner and watched a wonderful new movie I recently received.
Some of you know I spent some time with Mickey Jones … (16 comments)
