Charlie and I went out for a ride today - 25+ miles - it rained about halfway through the ride. The rain was cooling and didn’t last that long. Charlie did great as he’s still recovering from his motorcycle accident.
Share and Enjoy:

Today was a rainy day, and being my last official day of vacation, I thought I’d finish up some errands, and maybe pickup a couple new music CDs - was thinking about the new Neil Young CD and the Dixie Chicks maybe… maybe swing by the used CD store and browse for something new to [...]

See my levitating hard top (get your mind out of the gutter you perverted wankers)
Well it’s finally off the Jeep and off the garage floor too. What a hassle this has been, the lousy hand winch that came with the Hoist-a-Top needed to be modified in order to work with my design. The [...]

Sunday was a beautiful day for a ride, and Charlie and I went out and rode most of the day away.
Charlie snapped this shot of me next to an old building by the river … scenery was great - but I look like a dork with my leather jacket on all bundled up when it [...]

Ha! Charlie thought I looked good enough to snap a picture this morning while I was getting ready to ride to work… enjoy!
Trying to get back to running more regularly, since I’ve been Atkins’ing I haven’t had much energy to run, but since I’ve let some more carbs slip into my diet (cheating [...]

I’ve been thinking about how to write about the experience of riding, it’s just such a blast! Charlie and [...]

Clean car lasted overnight, but the snow with the slightly above freezing temperatures conspired to ruin the shiny clean yellow exterior. Doh!Have you seen the price of gas lately? How ridiculous, and while I’m complaining about gas prices … why can’t we get rid of the .9? This is 2003 already, all [...]
