    Just another day on the road…

    I found a man dying on the side of the road early in the morning. I drove right past him, no, it couldn’t be that…but then the reality of the situation sunk in during a hasty u-turn. He was old and collapsed on the side of the road. My only thoughts were “Please don’t let…

  • Biff Reunion – Day 1

    Biff Reunion – Day 1

    This is the first full day of my full vacation. I’ve landed safely at our friend’s lake home on Smith Mt. Lake Virginia. Amazing place and wonderful people. So, what happens when you start throwing around a GoPro camera while swimming? The girls take over the production…

  • 300 Miles of Missouri

    300 Miles of Missouri

    It was a long hot Saturday. A test run for things to come later this summer. My idea was to day-trip it from Kansas City to Carthage, MO…about 300 miles round-trip. I wanted to try and do that all in one day, and take all back roads, on my KLR 650. My questions were, could…

    10 Seconds from Yesterday

    Dreary Day Dreaming…

    Just dreaming of better days and riding. It’s so dreary and grey outside. Midwest winter consists of grey cold…that’s it. On top of that I seem to have lost my enthusiasm. I feel the white-water rapids of life coming around the corner…change is coming…change is good. Or maybe I just invest in some cold weather…

    Guess What I Did This Weekend…

    So…what happens when all the professional landscapers turn you down for poison ivy removal? Send in the clowns… Yeah, it was a REALLY large poison ivy bush…or more like a poison ivy tree (do they make those?).

  • In remembrance of Spring

    In remembrance of Spring

    This was my yard a couple of weeks ago. Now it’s just all too much grass and poison ivy (insert sad face). I miss Spring time already and it’s not even over. These were some of the first days with my new camera, Panasonic Lumix LX100. Can’t say enough goodness about this little beast of…

  • And the plastic battle raged on…

    And the plastic battle raged on…

    So much fun with one little camera. I’m telling you, once you truly sit down and think about your workflow and your needs, then you will find the proper fitting camera for you. Don’t fall prey to the latest pixel count or sensor size. And interchangeable lens are really just another way to get more…

Got any book recommendations?
