better, better, better

well i’m finally recovering, been sick since February, and i have to say my outlook on life has improved and i’m ready to start some serious motorcycle trips. got the trike all cleaned and waxed, the trailer all cleaned and repacked all my “trip bag” that i keep on the bike. Now i just need to figure out where to go. thinking about Utah and the great parks out there. good news i lost 30lbs from being ill and started exercising more so i feel like “lets go”

sick, sick sick

i’ve been seriously ill now for about a month and in constant pain. so that’s my rant, life’s a bitch sometimes, my real complaint is it keeps me from riding my motorcycle. that and it’s raining like crazy almost every day. my yard looks like a swamp. oh well. let’s wait and see

a week in san francisco

just spent the week in san fran, and it was great, 67 degrees during the day, 55 at night, i think i was the only guy walking around in shorts. hey how can you beat cable cars, the hills, the art galleries, the food. so much to do. this is my third time there and i still haven’t “seen it all” so another trip will have to do it.

stayed at the weston, on union square, what a great place, and great staff. ate at scoma’s on the wharf, rode in a limo with great friends back to the hotel.

and it may be simple food, but nobody can beat sears restaurant great food and eddie is the best waiter in town.

all my planes landed and took off on time one great trip

if you can get to willow city texas this weekend get there, after all the rain the wild flowers willl be even better. hard to believe there could be more. sunday last week the normal 40 minute trip (stop and looking, curves etc.) took over 2 hours, i counted over 200 motorcycles in that time period, plus all the cages. so if you can hit there in the middle of the week even better. google willow city and see what comes up

my first tech post

i’m not a Luddite, but i am pretty basic when it comes to technology. so this is my first tech post. i bought an android transformer tablet. not an ipad. the reason being is my phone is an android htc evo, and i use google for everything, calendar, contacts, sms, chat so it made sense (to me) to go with something compatible with my phone and will sync everything.

it works great, great camera, everything, and with the keyboard attached it becomes a net book with 16 hours of power.

the only negative is that apps for the transformer are more than the same apps in the ipad.

but i don’t count on getting that many extra apps, so there you have it my first tech post

yes i’m crazy

i’m in my late 50′s, scary right most people who meet me think i’m a lot older, well today i did something i’ve never done before. which is really saying something as my past is wild and woolly. i purposely left the house and went motorcycling in 39 degree weather and pouring rain. why, to test out my new motorcycle rain suit including booties and gloves.

now i love riding in good weather and because i ride a lot i have been caught in rain, sleet, snow and skirted a tornado once. but i always start out thinking great nice weather, to leave the house on a bad, cold day, rainy day i never do. so i’m either nutz or just love motorcycle riding that much. i’m not running a poll or vote so those that know me don’t bother casting a vote.
