Full blown winter here.   I plowed the driveway twice yesterday and once this morning.    Drove home up the canyon 25 in a 55.     I could see the road better with my lights off, in the driving snow.

I love what I do.   I feel most days, that I’m in full stride.     To be involved and with my nose to the grindstone, making good decisions and contributing….. man, that’s a good day, and they string together.     I’ve found my family.   Blood is thick, and they share common ground that you just can’t explain.   Eyes are on me here.   Bring it on.    Coming up here is good for me, and I can’t help but know that is good for my own family.

But man, I keep looking at weather.com for a break in the weather.    I almost took my bike to work at 2 degrees in the morning, down the canyon.    I’d have done it if I was positive the roads weren’t icy.     I wasnt.     Fuck it, I don’t care if I look like the Michelin man on a bike….. I’m jonesing to ride, and its only January.

Can’t wait for the Easy Rider tour in May with Eagle Rider.    Hopefully my stories are right, my company is sure and beyond that I’ll figure it out.

When is this snow over with.   I’m ready to ride.

Yesterday was a good day.   I signed some papers that ended a 2 year struggle and put some finality, and even some justification to the worst period of my life.     Even today, I feel like king of my mountain.

I settled the biggest debt of my life yesterday. It’s such a relief. 2 years of work to pay for the biggest mistake maybe I’ve ever made. Life seems pretty good right now.

The biggest mistake of my life, for the record was not trusting my instincts and trusting a partner to take care of the books.     Long story short, he didn’t.   I got  lazy,  things crashed, and he went into hiding. I decided to face the music. At the time, I felt I couldn’t live that way, and I’m glad I didn’t.   Its been a stress on my family of dealing with the IRS, one creditor after another, and a whole slew of others.

Got the taxes settled yesterday.Hopefully the final step in starting over, and trying to maybe build  something good again. A little wiser, and lessons learned. Things have been tight, my wife and kids have stuck with me.   Can’t ask for more, and life seems good again.

I feel bad for my poor ex business partner to be honest. Hiding ain’t no way to live.    I hid for a while, but no more.   I’m kinda learning that life is pretty sweet when you move to hit it head on.

Anyone want a beer? I’m buyin’ 🙂

He’s right.    What a wonderful world.    If you play the cards you’re dealt right, you’ll wake up just glad to be born.    Play em right.   aye laddie, what a wonderful world.

im not going to capitalize any sentences here, let alone any punkthuation.

tell the punctuation police to get over it. if that’s waht you get caught up on, yer missing the point a whole lotta times.

Well, other than the fuckers who don’ t end sentences with a period.      Man, you gotta have periods.

So many reasons why this works.

I love seeing these old pricks on stage.  this is jammin.

•  Good to see Jason Bonham pay tribute to his old man.    He’s not nearly as good – not as heavy handed as his dad, but no matter what he was the right choice.   He keeps the beat, and the rest of these guys seem happy to be playing together.   Again.
• Check out the look on John Paul  Jones face.   he’s in the zone.   he’s working.
• Jimmy page…. Maybe the greatest guitar player of all time, old and weathered.   Still, pulls his guitar out of the rack and plays it perfectly.   Beyond it, actually.   Like its 1975.
• Robert Plant.   Maybe the hardest part.   He’s fronting it, and sings it better than the old concerts.      I’m not sure how old he is, but he owns it all here.    Sounds great

back it all out, and this is a great song, and a great version.

Its  inspiring.   You can re-live the old days, no matter what anyone says.    These guys definitely prove it.     Good things really never die.

I love me some Led Zeppelin.

Im thankful really, for a lot of things. 

Glad i got a killer wife, whos rolled with me for 20 plus years. 
Glad i have kids who know who they are, and enjoy watching them come into their own.
Glad i found riding.  

Sitting by my smoker, typing a post on my phone, smoking a thankgiving turkey and studying up on some really good nfo i just found about Easy Rider.   Might make the ride come alive for someone in May.   Shivering as i post this lol.    Fuck me, life is good.   Thanksgiving isnt telling me something i already know 🙂

The Anarchist inside of me likes this song, and loves this video. Wanna talk politics? 🙂

Great song.   Winter is here in Heber.    Not sure I trust the roads in my car at times, let alone my bike.   So she’s covered.      This is new to me.    Need to find my way back to the desert.   Someday.   Right now I have things to do.

Full tank to prevent condensation and a little fuel treatment, battery tender plugged in.    She will start fine in the spring methinks.     New back tire.      Really, this kind of sucks.   It is what is is.

Got some road trips in mind, come spring.   Getting acclimated to this north thing, and finding my legs.     This wendover air field needs to be explored more, and maybe a little cowboy history.     Its not route 66, but there are ghosts out there.   Ill find em.   The road king begs to ride.
