Prize Winning Photo

Some things are meant to be. On Saturday, I told my friend Phil to make sure he was free on December 12, as the 7th Annual David Mann Chopperfest was coming up. It is up in Ventura, and is a nice ride from here. Besides, I need to hunt down some vintage Harleys and we have a mutual friend that will be coming down from up north, so there are several reasons to attend. Wednesday morning, I received an email from a motorcycle enthusiasts forum called MotoZania.com that I am a member of. They were having a contest in which …

End of Movember

, , , / 1 minute of reading /

Well, it has been fun, but this is never happening again. This is the last day of Movember, so while many of my friends will be shaving tomorrow (or tonight), I will be throwing all my shaving supplies away. Never again will a blade touch this face. Anyway, if you would like to donate on behalf of my efforts this month, donations are still being accepted at Movember.com. My photo of the day for this last day of Movember is of my moustache, after 30 days of growth. I do have a Movember gala to go to Friday evening, so …

Fall Has Fallen

When I look around the neighborhood, it becomes pretty clear that winter is almost here. The leaves have changed colors and have now fallen from the trees. My photo of the day for the 333rd day of 2010 is of one of the neighborhood trees after the leaves fell.

Artsy

I have mentioned to Tanya that many of her photos are artsy, and that is a skill I do not really feel I have. Yesterday, while walking Buddy I saw a couple of opportunities to try and become more artistic. Unfortunately, I only had my point and shoot and the sun was quite bright, so it made it difficult to see what I was shooting. My photo of the day for day 332 is my attempt at art.

Back On the Road

Regular readers may recall that around Labor Day I was complaining about being in a lot of pain. Shortly after that I left for Europe for a few weeks. After I got home I eventually saw a doctor that treated my problem rather than my symptom. In a nutshell, I was not able to do any significant motorcycle riding since the beginning of September! That is forever in my book. Saturday ended that streak. My picture of the day for Saturday is of me at a gas stop after a couple hundred miles of riding. It sure is nice to …

50,000 Miles

, , , , , , , / 1 minute of reading /

I remember flying to Tanya’s for the 4th of July 2009, and that my odometer on the Charger had turned 33,333 miles. The number stuck in my mind because I remember odd things like that, and it was about half of what Tanya had on her Charger, which she purchased a few months after me. In the first 3.5 years I averaged about 775 miles a month. In the last 16 months I have averaged almost 1,050 miles a month. Considering I do not drive to work, and I was in Europe for at least a month of that, that …

Happy Thanksgiving

, , , , , / 1 minute of reading /

I am not quite sure why it is that people presume the first Thanksgiving Day feast consisted of turkey and all the trimmings. The original account only suggests that hunters went out looking for fowl. It does not mention if they were successful or not, or what kind of fowl they were hunting. I guess it just makes for a nice story. Personally, I figure that since they were close to the ocean, there is more likelihood of seafood being on the table than a turkey, but no one knows for sure. I decided that my Thanksgiving meal would consist …

Loyalty

, , , , , / 1 minute of reading /

I do not believe I have ever owned a dog as loyal as Buddy. He can be very subtle about it and he can be very obvious about it. It all depends on what the situation warrants. My photo of the day for the day before Thanksgiving is of Buddy as he waits for my signal to continue walking. I have to say, I really enjoy taking him out on walks and trips. He is a pleasurable animal to hang with.

Sunny Tuesday

, , , , , / 1 minute of reading /

There is not much question that it is fall around here. I don’t mean frost on the pumpkins fall, but pretty chilly in the mornings and evenings. I would prefer if it was a little warmer, but at least it is not flyover state cold. My picture of the day for Tuesday is of Buddy thoroughly enjoying himself on our morning walk. It is good to see that his visit to the vet accomplished our goal. No more itching!

Another Take Charge Morning

, , , , , / 1 minute of reading /

One of my personality traits has to be commitment. Perhaps not in relationships, but when it comes to things like watching my diet, exercise, juicing and Project 365, I am pretty reliable. An example of this might be my use of Take Charge. I have never been a breakfast person. Even in high school my mom went out of her way to include instant breakfast in the food budget just so I had something before heading off to school. My photo of the day for day 326 is of my Take Charge breakfast mixed with Greek yogurt. I have only …
