One rider’s sporadic thoughts on motorcycling and whatever else life throws at him.
Well, once again we have Christmas behind us for another year. This has been one busy week since that last post! I few of us got together and rode back down to my brothers’ and Dad’s neighborhood for the annual Stagecoach Cafe Ride-In in Stockton, Alabama. I had been watching the weather to see if [...]
Its Christmas Eve at 9:30 PM and it has been raining cats and dogs for the last 20 minutes here.
I would like to wish all my fans and readers a very merry Christmas tonight, and hopefully this coming year will be brighter and happier than ever.
My brothers who live down in south Alabama planned a little Christmas get together for all my siblings and my Dad for this past weekend.
Jenny and I drove my little truck down on Friday night to my Dad’s house. It was about 320 miles down there and when I got up the next morning I [...]
The YouTube video has disappeared….Sorry.
I have no idea if anyone reads this stuff or not. I suppose its mostly for me to let off steam from time to time. But as it happens I’m just about out of steam.

I have this unofficial rule about riding in the cold. If it gets above 40F degrees I will ride. If not, I will stay home…unless there are mitigating circumstances like a preplanned group ride that I have promised to take part in. In that case I can’t plan on it being above 40F degrees when [...]
My oldest brother joined the Marine Corps back in 1963 and then in the fall of 1964, on his way to VietNam via Japan he stopped by our house to say goodbye and I took this picture when I was 14 years old, and about to turn 15.
He and my Mom had bought this beautiful [...]
Thanksgiving day came in with cleaning and cooking…and breakfast and coffee on the patio. Jeremy showed me his garage music studio which doubles duty as a tool storage facility. But it s a great place to hang out and listen to music or play darts on a Thanksgiving day.
The cooks cooked…well, the one cook cooked [...]
