Its’s here. Have a happy holiday

May you prepare for the ones closest to you, and may you have a Merry Christmas this year.    Ready or not, here it comes.

Somewhere in November, I smoked 10 pounds of really good cheese for a few hours, wrapped em  to mellow for a month, and I just bought 5 pounds of raw almonds yesterday.   The Almonds will roast in my dutch oven  and go in the smoker the day after.   My oldest is baking cookies, and we’ll wrap it up and give it to those most important to us.

Lets go


There just comes a point, in every ride… if you look for it.

It’s usually a song that you haven’t heard for a long time, where it all seems to hit home.   That Zen moment, where twisting the throttle and turning a bend combine with an effing great song.    Fuel for the fire.

I need to post more.    Lots has happened, and its all been good.   Very positive, and deliberate for the most part, life wise.    I haven’t even caught up on rides that have happened over the summer.    I will, I swear.

Just not tonight.

The Beatles: Abbey Road – Then and Now

abbey Road BeatlesIt’s still my favorite Beatles album.   I gotta think that “something” is my favorite song of all songs.   The fab four had been to the top, and we’re starting to break up, but even with all the tension in the band they made some of the most beautiful songs ever.    John and Paul had carried the band for the early part of the decade, but George and even Ringo were starting to come through with their own styles as song writers themselves.

Yeah, what a great album.

Check this out.    If you’re a people watcher, this is kind of cool.   Its  the Abbey Road Live Web Cam, with audio and everything.     Right now, people are trying to re-create this iconic picture from 1969.    Some do it over and over.   Some don’t dare.   Some watch.

I’m easily amused.

This is the day

I’m an 80’s kid.   I’ll admit it.   Born in the 60’s, but those formidable teenage years were in the 80’s.   For the most part, I had nothing but a whole lotta fun.

Moving again.   I got two more moving days:   this one, and the next one.    The next one, I’ll be able to get a loan after a few years of shit, bankruptcy and a few lessons.   Next year, me and the missus can get a loan and put down some roots.    I can’t lie,  that’ll be a great day.   We’re both a little older and a little wiser.

This is the day….
