motorcycle parts on my gravestone
« on: April 08, 2018, 08:49:54 PM »
 My 6 year old granddaughter was in a lengthy conversation with her Mom about gravestones and how do they know what to put on them? (Her other Papa makes them) My Daughter explained sometimes people take care of it while they are alive. She needed to know what if they don't tell anyone what they want? My Daughter explained their family choose something they think the person might like. Like, Papa might like a motorcycle.
 
 Olivia said well then, we could just put motorcycle parts on Papa's.  :o

  When she was 4 or so she pointed out the big brown truck to her Mom. That's the truck that brings Papa's motorcycle tools.

   Oh dat kid. L0L!

I think that when it's my time to go, I'll be cremated and then I'll have my ashes dumped into the fuel tank of a CB750F.  That way I'll be the CAUSE of a clogged carburetor and not the remedy.  I'll get even one way or another.....he-he.  ;)

   That's as bad as burying a fortune in jewelry on a person.

My mother in law wants to be cremated and put in her Harley tank. She tried to convince my father in law to do the same... his response was "#$%* no!" He's been a mechanic his whole life. He doesn't want to spend his afterlife smelling gas fumes, too! ;D

on/in greenland..if the Fishers not came back..they burried or layed a personal thing at the grave place

..look like a garbage place..but the idea is great..if some parts of the boat came to shore ..they also vent to the grave..so vhy not have a 550 engine as grave stone
