Demonmaster & The Goddess
On April 17, 2008 I held my Beloved wife Dolores as she took her last breath and left this world for a better place. A promise to her is why you are reading these words. A promise to her is why this cross country trip is being undertaken. And because of these promises to her I have not curled up into a ball and died.
She knew me much better than I knew myself. Without direction and purpose I flounder horribly. She knew just how hard her passing would impact me, and she knew just what it might take to keep me going and allow a healing to begin. Even in death she takes care of me.
So I hope as you follow along on this American odyssey you would remember from time to time the woman I call My Goddess, and say a short prayer that God will bless her and keep her safe until I can be with her again.
My hope is to find the American people you don’t hear about on the nightly news, the majority of us that follow the law, try to help one another when in need, and appreciate that help when given. Americans that work hard, pay their fair share of taxes, and try to be and do the right thing at every turn.
We are still out here; we just don’t sell newspapers or increase viewership. We are considered boring, common and uneventful.
God Bless us all.
The Demonmaster
Rick My heart goes out to you. I don’t know if I could do what you are doing but I’ll always be thinking of you. I’ll have Dolores and you in my prayers. I love you with all my heart. Take care and be careful out there on the road. Dorothy and Lonnie.

I lost my wife of 20 years 4 year ago to cancer I know what your going through. I found healing by long rides on my bike also there is something about that long road and the wind in your face that seems to quiet the heart and open your eyes. I wish you well on your ride and perhaps you just may see me on that road out there with you as I have several long trips planned this year. God bless and stay safe on the road.

I share in your grief-My husband of almost 12 yrs on May 25th, Jim died just a month ago Apr 5th. from liver cancer. We too had a Harley –many states — many miles. He had gotten so he couldn’t ride anymore & had a difficult time when he sold it. As you ride, you will attract many people who will give you what you seek. May the Creater be with you as you travel.
heard you on geek farm life. so sorry for your loss, and am glad that you both found joy in listening to Andrew and Misty. They have taken me from laughter to tears from time to time. Feel free if you come through Kentucky to stop and see us, we are just beginning on the small farm path soon, we hope. You can find me at the Washington County Public Library in Springfield, KY if you like.
will be keeping you both in mind this summer.
I also heard you on geek farm life. Take care on your trip. I am sure many people are keeping you in their thoughts at this difficult time.
Thanks Rick, for putting yourself out there. You too, touch a lot of people you may never meet.
Praying your journey will be traveled safely and your experiences be enjoyable.
You and Dolores shared a great love that will live forever. True love never dies.
May the elements be kind on your journey, Dorelle
Rick, Safe Travels to you, and may you find Peace on the Journey.
