Random Thoughts

Took the drone up and got some footage of the fireworks in my city on the 4th.   I crashed it right after this, but lucked out and only broke a couple of props.

An attitude that thankfully, my  wife believes in, and my kids have adopted.    It’s real world shit….

I think the thing I like most about a road trip is what you find along the way.   People do and build interesting things, and figuring out the stories behind them makes it fun.   I’m not sure what we’ll find, but you always seem to find something good.     We’ll see.   Either way, tomorrow It’s on.   I can’t wait.

It’s been a helluva good few weeks.   It’s warm, the bike has been ridden around town like a raped ape, the Pittsburgh Penguins have won Lord Stanleys Cup, and I’ve been busier than hell.    Its been way nice.

We had a hog roast last weekend for B.A.C.A. up in Heber.   I’ve done it the last few years.  Poker run, and a good time.

It’s time to ride somewhere and see a thing.    I don’t know the north end of this area like I do the south, and it’s time to scout the perimeter.     I’ve promised my youngest daughter Bri a good few days riding on the bike, and we’re doing that next weekend.    I figured we’d head up to see Golden Spike National Monument, Ride up through the snake river in Idaho, and mozy our way back through Nevada and see if we can see a thing.    I promised her when she turned 12 we’d do a multi-day ride, and because of the Easy Rider Tour last year I couldn’t do it.   I need to keep my promise, and she seems eager to go and have a few days with Dad.     We’ll have a good time.   Something I hope she’ll remember.     Do some tent camping, swap some stories and I think there’s even a hotel on the route to hang out in the pool and watch her be a kid.    I’m pretty geeked up about it.

Trying to stay off the freeway… so the trick is to figure out a route on the way back that I can get gas in Nevada along a pretty long stretch.   I’m figuring out the map.   I’ll take an extra bungee and a buy a gallon gas can en route if need be.  Hopefully we can make a memory.

I had an adventure to yellowstone with my Dad about her age.   I remember sleeping in a 77′ Blazer, living off the road and hearing stories that I wish I could now remember all of.   It made an impression.    That’s the goal.   She’s a good kid.

Hell yes.  More to come!

In a dark Scottish loch….

May we remember those who had lives and dreams, and gave so we could do the same.   Much respect…

And, for something a little on the lighter side:

Next level drone footage and editing.    These guys are killer pilots.     I’m just trying to figure out how they did all this…  Wow.
