The gas situation here in Atlanta is getting even worse than it has been. Nothing! Nada! No gas anywhere. When a truck does get here, it is unloaded and immediately sucked up by the many cars in line waiting. This cycle occurs in just a couple of hours so you don’t hear about the truck [...]

You know, there are some problems that go along with keeping an older bike. My battery died as I was about to leave on my Kentucky ride so I had to take the F650. That ride convinced me I need to sell the F650. It also showed me how fragile an older bike is. What [...]

I got up early Monday morning [...]

…or “The Day The Gas Ran Out”…That’s right! I rode Thumper over to my daughter’s house yesterday, across the north Atlanta metro area some 50 miles, and witnessed approximately 3/4 of the gas stations I passed being completely out of gas! Luckily I didn’t need to stop and buy any. This little bike routinely gets [...]

That’s right! We managed to pick up our lawn chairs at about 6:45 and walk the half mile down to the town park where a “Greenstock” concert was to be held. The lawn was beginning to fill up when we arrived, but an ominous dark cloud approached, threatening our evening festivities.
People were spreading blankets…

As we readied for our geocaching expidition I was told we had to make a stop at the post office…for stamps.
Well, we got to the post office and I saw this beautiful yellow Lamborghini…It was worth the wait. We left the post office and headed for our first search. The coordinates took us to this [...]
