It may not be a pain free day but it’s a Good Day
and I Thank God for it and for Pete. The 17th of
this month Pete will be two years old and has rode
in the van with me since He was 5 weeks. Spent
the first few months in the van night and day and
now it’s His World and I just live in it. Would like
to and hope to purchase an Ultra Classic soon and
teach Pete to ride on the back and give the van a break.
Now the Events that have No Pets on their flyer and on
Event Rules, tell Me that No Pets doesn’t mean “No Pete”
and that they want to see Him at the Events, what’s up
with that, it’s Pete’s World and I just Live in it. Enough of
Pete for now, let’s move on, fall means More Rally’s and
Events to attend as it gets cooler and the storms past
through. I mention the storms because we seem to have
them every day and the Gulf Coast is under a Hurricane
watch as I write this tonight. We need the rain as many
of the Farmers in South Georgia have dry wells from
the drought we have been experiencing the last couple
of years. Rain is a Good thing and needed, but every
afternoon really makes for a miserable ride no matter
what the destination. Be Safe and be prepared for the
weather challenges and changes by wearing protected
clothing and checking out your Bike before getting on the
road. While out riding be sure to stop by and visit with
the Advertisers here in the magazine and thank them
for supporting this magazine by advertising each month.
Their Support is what brings this Magazine to you each
month, and tell them you saw their ad in Thunder Roads
Magazine Georgia. Enjoy your ride and until next month.

Remember
Through Prayer
“Another Planet”
Hayden planetarium in New York ran an advertisement in New York newspapers, inviting those who
would like to make the first journey to another planet
to submit an application. In just a matter of days
18,000 people applied! These applications were
then given to a panel of psychologist who upon
receiving them concluded the vast majority of those
who applied wanted to start life on another planet
because they were so discouraged by life on this
one!! I can tell you how you can spend eternity in
Heaven a perfect place! You have to be perfect to
get there and since none of us are we must trust in
Jesus to get us there! Make your reservations today!
Prayer for the month:
Dear Lord, you have prepared a place in eternity for
us called heaven. Help us to turn in faith to you to
get there. Heal on nation, hurting families, discouraged people and help us all with daily struggles.
Amen

in Afghanistan
Hello Jerry Mc. This is Keith Taylor a Friend
of “Preacher Man” since 1971, I am Still in
Afghanistan...”Base Camp Leatherneck”
USMC protecting us, very well I might add, and
I’ve been here since September. 3rd 2011 and
will be leaving here on the 1st of September
2012. I have seen a lot here that most people
will never see. I’ve seen in the eyes of Soldiers
that are “scared” and most that are confident
in their reason’s for being here in Afghanistan.
Their job is Enduring Freedom for the Afghanistan People and I myself am part of that cause. I
am Proud to serve My “Country” by making sure
that “Our” Soldiers Vehicles are Maintained and
“Mission Ready”, I work on all types of vehicles here,
Humv’s, 7ton,several different Models, Mrap”s the
Marines and Army’s different Types. I Rebuild IED blast
vehicles as well as Perform Preventive maintenance..
There have been...28 rockets sent out from inside our
base here To...give the Taliban a “BAD DAY” and I’m
restful at night with all the Gyrocam Hovercraft in the air
at Night...insuring a Restful, safe Night and day. The Bike
that’s in the picture...cost about $900.00 Brand new and
is a 125cc bike. It does give me the Thrill of riding a Motorcycle on this Base even though the speed is...15mph
or 24km as they say on our Speed Limit signs here...the
MP’S are very Strict here “But” heck...I’m on a Motorcycle..
Thanks a lot for the Coverage Here and I’m already

We all have our own thoughts about the meaning of “True
Love”. Everyone can acknowledge that our society has a
understanding that there is no love greater than a “Mother’s”
love. Mothers teach us how to be Gentleman. Fathers, teach
us how to be Men. The input of these individual parents have
developed each of us into the unique persons that we have
become.
Right about now you are probably flipping back to the front
cover to see if this is a biker magazine, since this is a motorcycle
magazine, let’s relate this subject to the Biker world.
Can you recall the first time you were at a Biker function and
witnessed two bikers embraced and then kiss on the lips?
There you were, you and your buddies had just rode up and
parked your new V-Twin steed. Together you were enjoying the
ambience of the occasion. Bam! Your riding partner looks at
you and asks, “Did you see that?”
If you are like most, new to the biker world, this act of affection
probably struck you a little odd that grown men would act this
way, especially “Bikers”. If you felt this way, you should realize
that you are naive and ignorant to the ways of the biker world.
You should not consider this act of “True Brotherhood” anything
else but a demonstration of “LOVE & RESPECT“.
I believe, if you or your buddies were to make a comment
referring to this act of true Brotherhood as though it was
something other than that, and loud enough for the two full
grown bikers to hear. This would be a grave mistake. The
“old school” way of dealing with this obviously stupid comment
would be for those two “real bikers” to walk over and stomp you
and your buddies.
This would be a life lesson that you would never forget. After
this lesson, you would understand that those two men could
kiss on the lips because their brotherhood is that strong. Many
different individuals on their ride thru life demonstrate “True
Brotherhood” in many different ways. This is just one of those
demonstrations of brotherhood and the love they have for the
other.
Dads teach boys how to be men; Moms teach boys how to be
gentlemen. If Mom had not taught these two bikers how to be
gentlemen, instead of a good ass whooping, these two grown
bikers would have probably stomped the life out of you! But,
being in the new school era, they might just make you and your
buddy to demonstrate the same kind of brotherhood that you
had just witnessed. These two bikers, for the next 30 minutes,
would have consumed a twelve pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon
beer.during your lesson on brotherhood, making sure you know
“What Up”!
Therefore, I hope you have taken the time to show your Mom
and Dad the appreciation they deserve for making you the
person you are today!
It’s not queer, gay or any thing else but a open demonstration of
love and respect to the other. In touch with their MANHOOD !!
And man enough to kick your ass if you make it anything else.

Live Free, Die Free,

Ride
for
“Rooster”
The Ride met at the Walmart in
Perry, GA. Rode through the South
Georgia Farms and stopped at Angel
City and then on to S&E Cycles
where food and cold drinks were
served and a Raffle, Auction and
50/50 were held to Help raise more
Funds to Help “Rooster”. Rooster
is a Friend of All and has always
been there when called on to Help
a Brother or Sister and to have the
opportunity to Help those who Help
Others is No better feeling.
We Love Ya, “Rooster”…

Thank You
Ladies, Gentlemen, Brothers & Sisters,
Today is a PROUD and HONORABLE day for Motorcyclist
everywhere. The Southside Riders Association is but a name.
It is a name that represents the finest people in Georgia. YOU
are the SRA and you make a difference every day.
Today, The SRA has been recognized by a Letter from
the Governor of the State Of Georgia, Commendation by
the Lt. Governor of the State Of Georgia, a Thank You and
Recommendation from Austin Scott from the Georgia House
of Representatives, and a Proclamation and “The Southside
Rider’s Association Day” by the Spalding County Government,
and a Proclamation and “The Southside Rider’s Association
Day” by the City Of Griffin.
We read the Mission Statement at every meeting. It is on
everything we print, the Board Of Directors uses it as the Rule
and Guide for all that we do….. The Mission Statement speaks
of improving the image of the motorcyclist in our community.
How much more proof do we need than this? Our Community
is better because we are here!
There are currently 190,000 registered motorcyclist in
Georgia. The motorcycle community is a very dedicated
and very giving group of people. Each and every weekend,
there are numerous fundraisers for everything from Autism,
to Cancer, to Diabetes, to the Ronald McDonald House, to
Wounded Warriors, to needy children, to providing Christmas
Joy, to the families of Fallen Soldiers and Fallen Officers.
Groups such as the Blue Knights, The Patriot Guard, ABATE,
The Southside Riders and many others have made it their role
in the community to find ways to be of service. I think it is safe
to say that the motorcyclists in Georgia believe that making the
way better for others makes the way better for ourselves.
We give NOT because we have many….. We give because
we fully understand having NOTHING…… That is where the
Heart Meets The Highway……
We need to thank the State and Local Governments for their
support and encouragement for us and the Motorcycle Community.
Also, I would like to apologize to the SRA for the secrecy and
the charade that took place leading up to this day. I believed
that stirring everyone up just a bit would make the awards more
memorable. I wish only that this day is with you forever and it is a
day that makes you proud that we do what we do…..
A very special Thanks to Mona Castile, and to Earle Shivers
for their time and effort in making this possible.

FEDERAL E-15 MINIMUM FUEL PURCHASE MANDATE
“However inconceivable it may seem, ethanol has managed to earn
itself another enemy. To service-station owners, refiners, vintagecar collectors, economists and car manufacturers themselves, add
motorcycle riders,” reported the New York Times in announcing a new
EPA mandate that requires consumers to purchase a minimum of 4
gallons of E-15 gasoline.
At issue is E15, a gasoline blend consisting of 15% ethanol, rather
than the typical 10% formulation E10. The federal Environmental
Protection Agency has approved E15 for all cars from the 2001
model year and newer, but the E.P.A. has not approved its use
for any motorcycles or all-terrain vehicles and its use could void
manufacturers’ warranties.
To help keep E15 out of these and other unapproved nonroad
engines, service stations offering E15 and E10 from the same
pump station must agree to sell a minimum of 4 gallons of fuel
per purchase in order to protect the engine of the next customer’s
vehicle, as the fueling hose retains roughly a third of a gallon
from the previous customer’s fill-up. But not all motorcycle fill-ups
reach four gallons, as some motorcycles don’t have tanks with that
volume, or their owners may want to merely top them off.
use. With “thousands of red white and blue jobs on the line” in
America’s cutting edge E-bike industry, Wyden says the tax break
is necessary and will cost $15 million over two years. Now the
measure will be considered by the full Senate.
NADAguides RELEASES LATEST MOTORCYCLE TRENDS
The latest data regarding motorcycle shopping and research trends
has been released from NADAguides, an online new and used
powersports pricing and information resource. And though the
economy has yet to recover from the slump, consumer interest and
motorcycle sales are gradually increasing. The Motorcycle Industry
Council says overall worldwide year-on-year motorcycle sales are
up 3.6%, and NADAguides research shows that consumer interest
and research has grown 15% in the second quarter of 2012 over
the second quarter of 2011.
NADAguides says the largest segments receiving growth and
interest are trikes and touring scooters with a step-through chassis.
Industry sales of touring scooters are up 5.6% year-to-date and have
recorded a year over year traffic increase on NADAguides.com of
24% over the past year. Touring scooters provide a good starting
point for consumers who are new to motorcycling because they have
more stability and are easy to mount and dismount, and top brands
searched on NADAguides.com include models from Suzuki, Honda,
Yamaha and Vespa, making up 96% of the traffic in the segment.
NADAguides analysts note that trikes or three-wheel motorcycles
are also gaining in popularity, registering a year over year
increase of traffic on the site up 27%. Appealing primarily to the
baby boomer generation, three-wheel motorcycles offer more
stability, more comfort for long trips and can be customized and

accident as their sober or well-rested counterparts.
Good news for eco-minded aficionados of two-wheeled transport,
as the Senate Finance Committee has approved a tax credit for
purchasers of on-road electric motorcycles amounting to 10% of the
purchase price up to $2,500.
For the study, researchers under the direction of Nicholas Moore
at the Centre Hospitalo-Universitaire de Bordeaux analyzed
information from 679 drivers admitted to a hospital in southwestern
France for more than 24 hours because of a serious accident
between 2007 and 2009. “Sleepiness carried almost as much risk
as alcohol ingestion,” wrote Moore and his colleagues in a letter in
the Archives of Internal Medicine.
Electric-powered two wheelers have been without a federal
purchase incentive since the beginning of 2012, when the original
tax break expired that was part of the $800 billion stimulus
package passed in 2009.
The committee approved a bipartisan package of tax credits on
August 2, including the amendment by Senator Ron Wyden (DOR) to extend the tax credit for buying EV bikes designed for street

Researchers used information from driver questionnaires and police
reports to determine what may have contributed to the accidents.
Drivers reported what medications they were on, their alcohol use
and how sleepy they had been before the crash, while patient files
provided information on blood alcohol levels.
Thunder Roads Magazine® Georgia 22
The majority of the injured drivers were under 55 years old and men.
Over half were on a motorcycle, about one-third in a car and 10% on
a bicycle at the time of the accident. The police determined that 355
of the drivers were responsible for their crash. From that, Moore and
his colleagues found that being between the ages of 18 and 29 years
old, driving a car, drinking alcohol and being sleepy were all tied to
an increased risk of causing an accident.
“We know from experimental studies that just four hours of sleep
loss will produce as much impairment as a six pack (of beer),”
said Christopher Drake, an associate scientist at the Henry Ford
Hospital Sleep Disorders and Research Center in Detroit, who was
not involved in the study. “If you have a whole night of sleep loss,
that’s equivalent to having a blood alcohol content of 0.19,” Drake
told Reuters news service. A blood alcohol level of 0.08 percent is
considered legally drunk in most U.S. states.
that involve grave threat to personal liberty,” the report adds.
START was founded with the aid of a $12 million DHS grant, and their
most recent report is described by its authors as the latest part in a
series of studies sponsored by the Human Factors/Behavioral Sciences
Division, Science and Technology Directorate and the US Department
of Homeland Security in support of the Counter-IED Prevent/Deter
program: “The goal of this program is to sponsor research that will
aid the intelligence and law enforcement communities in identifying
potential terrorist threats,” write the authors, which is done “using stateof-the-art theories, methods and data from the social and behavioral
sciences to improve understanding of the origins, dynamics and social
and psychological impacts of terrorism.”
Apparently, loving America is precisely one of those factors found
out through the latest space-age understanding of the human mind.

WEIRD NEWS: MIND-READING HELMET
Long-serving National Coalition of Motorcyclists board member Glen

observation that “I think it targets all of us to a tee”:

Are you suspicious of federal authority? How about really into
individual liberty? Well according to a new study funded by the US
Department of Homeland Security, you very well might be a terrorist.
A report published earlier this year by the National Consortium for the
Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START) at the University
of Maryland has surfaced, and in their DHS-funded findings,
Americans “reverent of individual liberty” and others adamant about
protecting their personal freedoms are categorized as extreme rightwing terrorists.
In the paper, “Hot Spots of Terrorism and Other Crimes in the
United States, 1970-2008”, researchers characterize what traits
should be considered when describing right-wing terrorists, and
identifies “groups that believe that one’s personal and/or national
‘way of life’ is under attack,” and those that are “suspicious of
centralized federal authority” and “believe in conspiracy theories

Rally
In the
Valley
WOW!! Is the first word that comes to mind? This venue
is one of the most ideal spots for a motorcycle rally to date.
Serene Forest encompasses the entire area, beautiful
lake, waterfall, and stream flowing through the camping
area, grist mill and out buildings all beautiful rustic
design. Green grass and roads that were manicured to
accommodate riders traveling around this rally.
There were plenty of food vendors and a few shops
brought some kick butt custom bikes to the bike show,
as well as individuals that entered their own custom built
creations.
Overall, despite all the controversy that the sponsors
had to over come to have this event. From city council
dragging their feet on approval of the location to the Jasper
paper actually printing that this event was cancelled the
day of the event. To a monsoon rain storm the evening it
all started.
Those that came had one heck of a good time; out
standing was the word that you heard over and over.
Bands from all over playing that good ole southern rock
and roll. Bounty Hunter really got the crowd hopping
Saturday nite followed by Slim Molly as the finally.
For those of you that thought about coming but for what
ever reason didn’t make this rally YOU DON’T want to

O.C. Bikefest PRETZEL COVERED PORK CHOPS
1 10 pack of center-cut pork loin chops
*Pound them with meat mallot until 1/2” thick.
2 Eggs; lightly beaten
1/4 Cup of All-Purpose Flour
1-1/2 Cups of Sourdough Pretzels; pulsed in food processor, or
just put in gallon size zip lock bag, leave open just a fraction
and roll over & over with rolling pin until fine ground.
1/2 Stick of Butter
Salt & Pepper to Your Taste
Set up 3 pie pan shape bowls; one filled with flour, one with
beaten egg mixture and one with ground pretzels.
Season your chops on both sides with S&P and any other
spices you prefer; rosemary goes great w/ pork, as does
mint or sage. Mix spices in a small bowl and rub all over
chops. Meanwhile get a pan medium hot, but get it searing
hot, drag all chops thru your three mixtures; First dredge in
flour, then beaten egg bath, then onto pretzel dredge. Cover
them thoroughly and pat them down into the pretzels to hold
onto and cling to chops.
Heat butter in a BIG skillet or an electric or flat electric
skillet. Put them in when a drop of water in skillet jumps
back; you want that nice sizzle when dropping your chops If
you’re doing on grill, you can fit all of them in, other-wise,
just do in (2) batches. When done place on plate covered
with 3 sheets of paper towels to drain off excess grease.
Keep in warm 200 oven until 2nd batch done.
These are so crunchy outside and the pretzel flavor just
soaks it all up, It’s easy to make, but baby, wayyyyyy easier
to eat. These go quick! Go get ya’ some.
CAULIFLOWER GRATIN (fancy name for cheese)
1 Head of Fresh Cauliflower (very inexpensive).
Cut into cauliflower and cut up into clusters, like you’ve seen
done to the frozen kind.
3 Tbls. of All-Purpose Flour
4 Tbls. of Real Butter or Quality Margarine (ICBINB)_
(I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter)
2 Cups of Whole Milk
Sprinkle gently with Nutmeg
1 Cup of Shredded Gruyere cheese
Salt & Pepper to Taste
Bring a large pot of salted water to a hard boil.
Drop the clusters of cauliflower into boil. Don’t let go too
long. About 5 mins. max. Make sure still stiff, don’t let
it go limp on you (no woman appreciates that). Drain
cauliflower and place into an ice bath to completely
stop them from cooking any longer. In a saucepot, heat
butter over medium heat. In a saucepan, heat up your
butter or margarine, Mix it all around carefully until all
flour incorporated; should be a gray-pale yellow color.
Let this remain to cook down for about 2-3 minute to get
that flour taste out. This process should be done fast
and steady. Then, add your milk and nutmeg a little at a
time while still whisking. Salt, Pepper & Nutmeg to taste.
Next, add your cheese generously. Spread it all out.
Place all in open lid casserole dish and bake for in a 300
degree oven for 30 minutes. Make sure the top gets brown
& bubbly. Just be sure to layer the cheese & other ingredients but also have enough of the sauce to add as a dunkin dip. This cheese gravy is actually perfect for the pork.
O.C. Bikefest GRILLED WATERMELON
1 big, long, juicy watermelon
Get a really good knife and make sure it’s sharp
Cut deep into the wa watermelon several lines along the
length, then cut across the other way to create a chess effect.
I love to grill watermelon and get grill marks on it which
makes it much sweeter and succulent.
Now, while watermelon chunks on medium grill, remember,
they don’t have to grill for long. Just throw together some
fresh mint, garlic, olive oil, basil and mix it all up to pour
over baby spinach or any lettuce of your desire. This is so
refreshing and perfect for September evenings.
CUCUMBER & HONEYDEW MARGARITA’S
2 Cups of Honeydew Melon
1 Cup pf Seedless, Peeled Cucumber plus extra round
discs for garnish
1/4 cup of Mint
2 Tbls. Honey
1/2 Cup of Lime Juice
2 Cups of Tequila
Take a Marqarita glass, slide a slitted cucumber all
around rim of glass and dip into a flat plate of salt.
Throw in a cup of cubed ice for frozen style or blend
longer and just pour over cubes of ice. Either way goes
down smoothas honey....dew.

“mixed emotions”.
The husband turned to his wife and said, “That is an absolute bunch of crap.
I bet you can’t tell me one thing that will make me happy
and sad at the exact same time.
She said: “Out of all your friends, you have the
biggest penis.”
teacher’s desk. “$2,467.”, he said.”$2,467!” cried the teacher, “What in the world were you selling?” ”‘Toothbrushes”,
said Little Johnny. “How could you possibly sell enough
tooth brushes to make that much money?” “Well, I found
the busiest corner in town”, said Little Johnny, “I set up a
Dip & Chip stand and I gave everybody who walked by a
free sample. “They all said the same thing, “Hey, this tastes
like dog poop!” Then I would say, “It is dog poop. Wanna’
buy a toothbrush?
A married couple is driving down the interstate doing 55
mph. The husband is behind the wheel. His wife looks over
at him and says, “Honey, I know we’ve been married for 15
years, but, I want a divorce.”
The husband says nothing but slowly increases speed to
60 mph.
She then says, “I don’t want you to try to talk me out of it,
because I’ve been having an affair with your best friend,
and he’s a much better lover than you.”
Again the husband stays quiet and just speeds up as his
anger increases.
She says, “I want the house.” Again the husband speeds
up, and now is doing 70 mph.
She says, “I want the kids, too.”
The husband just keeps driving faster, and faster, now he’s
up to 80 mph.
She says, “I want the car, the checking account, and all the
credit cards, too.”
The husband slowly starts to veer toward a bridge overpass piling, as she says, “Is there anything you want?”
The husband says, “No, I’ve got everything I need.”
She asks, “What’s that?”
The husband replies just before they hit the wall at 90
mph, “I’ve got the airbag!”
While examining his lady patient, the doctor tells her: “Your
heart, lungs, pulse & BP are fine. Now let me see that cute
little thing which gets you ladies into all kinds of trouble.”
The woman a tad turned on by the young doctor starts
quickly taking off her slacks and panties and is standing
nude from the waist down.
The Doctor turned around , stopping her and said: “No! No!
Please put on your clothes. I meant for you to just show
me your tongue.”
The kids filed into class Monday morning. They were all
very excited. Their weekend assignment was to sell something, then give a talk on salesmanship. Little Sally led off.
“I sold Girl Scout cookies and I made $30” she said proudly, “My sales approach was to appeal to the customer’s civil
spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious success.”
“Very good”, said the teacher. Little Debbie was next. “I
sold magazines” she said, “I made $45 and I explained to
everyone that magazines would keep them up on current
events.” “Very good, Debbie”, said the teacher. Eventually,
it was Little Johnny’s turn. The teacher held her breath.
Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and
dumped a box full of cash on the teacher’s desk. “$2,467.”,
he said.”$2,467!” cried the teacher, “What
Steel Cowboy’s Tombstone:
The Headstone of Russell J. Larsen in the Logan City Cemetery , Logan , Utah .
I wonder if he died knowing he won the ‘Coolest Headstone’ contest?
His five rules for a happy life are at the bottom in on his
headstone
FIVE RULES FOR MEN TO FOLLOW FOR A HAPPY LIFE:
1. It’s important to have a woman who helps at home,
cooks from time to time, cleans up, and has a job.
2. It’s important to have a woman who can make you
laugh.
3. It’s important to have a woman who you can trust, and
doesn’t lie to you.
4. It’s important to have a woman who is good in bed and
truly likes to be with you.
5. It’s very, very important that these four women do not
know each other or you could end up dead like me.
My wife was screaming at me: “Leave!! Get out of this
house!” she ordered.
As I was walking out the door she yelled, “I hope you die a
slow and painful death!”
So I turned around and replied “So now you want me to stay?”

WHY EVERY BIKER NEEDS UM INSURANCE
In today’s economy, everyone is trying to stretch their dollar farther. However,
one corner you should never cut is the UM Insurance Coverage on your
motorcycle and family automobiles. Many folks don’t know what UM Coverage
is until they need it. So, what is it? UM stands for Un-Insured/ UnderInsured
Motorist Coverage and it provides you a way to be financially compensated if
you are in a collision caused by another driver and that person does not have
any auto insurance. UM also provides coverage in the event of a collision
caused by a another driver that does not have enough insurance to fully
compensate you for your medical bills, lost wages, property damage or pain
and suffering caused by the collision. The State of Georgia requires every
driver to carry a minimum of $25,000.00 in automobile insurance coverage.
Unfortunately, if one of us are injured in a motorcycle wreck, then the medical
bills may be substantially higher than the at fault driver’s minimum coverage.
Let’s use a common situation we have all experienced. Imagine driving down
a road when a car makes a left turn across your path. If a collision occurs,
then the biker could experience injuries such as bone fractures, road rash, or
even death. The medical bills will cost far more than the $25,000 minimum
coverage. This is where your UM Coverage comes into play. It provides
additional financial recovery for you to compensate for medical bills, lost
wages and damages that exceed the at fault driver’s insurance coverage.
Better yet, your UM Coverage travels with you if you are injured in someone
else’s vehicle. Think of it as a cloud of protection that follows you and provides
additional recovery if you are injured by an uninsured or underinsured driver.
Hopefully, you will never have to deal with this complex legal situation after an
accident. But, if you are in a motorcycle or automobile collision, then please
give me a call at (office) 404-237-4440 or (cell) 770-780-2231 so we can meet
and discuss your options.
