One rider’s sporadic thoughts on motorcycling and whatever else life throws at him.
All reports predict another high 90s day today! It wouldn’t be so bad if I felt like riding north and partaking of the nicer, cooler climate of the higher altitudes. However, I don’t, so I’m kind of stuck here at home in the AC nursing a sore mouth. No, nobody whacked me in the kisser. [...]
This is Gwen. If you click on the small image you can see the big, clear version.
I doubt Gwen would approve of this photo of her, but it’s the only current one I have and I took it this past Friday while recuperating from my ride. I stopped by Atmore, AL and visited my Dad, [...]
Today is Saturday….
Jeremy, my daughter’s S.O., came home from his tour of duty at the firehouse this morning. Jeremy wanted us to go out and do something! He wanted to show me a Los Angeles “sight” and get away from the house. After a 2nd nice smoothie, we all decided to take a ride up [...]
Day 7 began by waking up to a nice cold breakfast smoothie, that my daughter made me as she got ready to go to work. She has this Vita-Mix tool…It’s like a blender on steroids and she chops up whole bananas, oranges, spinach, etc. etc. with ice cubes. MAN! It was good!
She went off to [...]
Earlier this week I started thinking about a bike I rode back in high school. It was my second bike actually. My first one was a little white Honda 90 that I used to deliver newspapers on Pensacola Beach, Florida back in the Fall and Winter of 1965-66. I wanted desperately to drive something, and [...]
After sleeping a wonderfully restful night’s sleep, I awoke to a mild backache and two cats wanting some food and attention. The back is a result of having way too much fun on Saturday with the guys up in the mountains of northwest Georgia…then riding 500 miles up the slab to Virginia Beach , VA. [...]
Today marks the day that Sparky, aka JennyBaby, aka Jen, aka Granny, aka Jenny, left for the tropical climes of beautiful Hawaii. Actually she’s going to Dallas, TX for a few days then on to Hawaii on the 5th.
I spoke with her briefly last evening after I had my teeth cleaned and was on my [...]
Sparky and I met up last night at the Cafe Hot Wing near her work place to have our last dinner date as a married couple. Yes, that’s right! Finally I have to admit its over again for us. The last four years of our second re-marriage have been an exercise in futility for both [...]
Last weekend was the annual Albritton Barlow Family reunion down in Atmore, Alabama, where I cut my teeth and lived life to its fullest for about the first 15 years of my life.
I took off Friday morning ( after visiting my doctor for a re-check)…
The weather was cloudy and cool but I saw very little [...]
Last week I took a little jaunt on the new bike to visit my daughter and her kids in Virginia Beach. I left on Sunday just in time to miss the historical “flooding” of Atlanta 2009 on the following Monday. It DID rain on me as I exited Georgia that Sunday and continued to rain [...]
