Blanchard, Michael “Flathead”

1944 – 2012

A Celebration of the life of Michael “Flathead” Blanchard will be held on April 14th, 3 pm 8160 Rosemary St, Commerce City. Weary of reading obituaries noting someone’s courageous battle with death, Mike wanted it known that he died as a result of being stubborn, refusing to follow doctors’ orders and raising hell for more than six decades. He enjoyed booze, guns, cars and younger women until the day he died.

Mike was born July 1944 in Colorado to Clyde and Ethel Blanchard. A community activist, he is noted for saving the Dr. Justina Ford house from demolition and defending those who could not defend themselves. He was a Republican delegate, life member of the NRA, founder and President of the Dead Cats MC. He loved music.

Mike was preceded in death by Clyde and Ethel Blanchard, survived by his beloved sons Mike and Chopper, former wife Jane Transue, brother Stephen Blanchard (Susan), Uncle Don and Aunt Cynthia Blanchard(his favorite); Uncle Dill and Aunt Dot, cousins and nephews, Baba Yaga can kiss his butt. So many of his childhood friends that weren’t killed in Vietnam went on to become criminals, prostitutes and/or Democrats. He asks that you stop by and re-tell the stories he can no longer tell. As the Celebration will contain Adult material we respectfully ask that no children under 18 attend.

On my recent road trip through California I noticed that every gas station had a Vapor Recovery Boot on their gas pumps. Filling the  tank on the bike was a PITA. If you inserted the nozzle far enough into the tank to activate the pump you never received a full tank of gas. You had to retract the Vapor Recovery Boot by hand to top off the tank.

This clip simply slides between the retracted boot and the nozzle collar before you begin to fill your tank. Also works great as a bottle opener so you can fill your tank, too.

Laser cut from 6061 aluminum. Tumble burnished finish.
