Harley Arty

, , , , , / 1 minute of reading /

Shortly after purchasing the new Limited, okay, on the way home from purchasing the Limited I stopped by at some friends’ home to show off my new bike. While there, one of their neighbors came by. As it turned out, he makes his money by detailing Harley-Davidsons and his nickname is Harley Arty. I took his business card and made a mental note to remember him for the future. When I came back from Sturgis, the bike was in a word, filthy. About 10 pounds of dead bugs and lots of road grime made it clear that if I was …

A Late Night Visitor

, , , , , / 1 minute of reading /

I had planned using a different photo for day 235 of my picture a day project, known as Project 365 in some circles. I was going to talk about the new vacuum cleaner I got and how I purchased it so Tanya would have everything she needed to keep the house spotless, and I could get rid of the maids. It would have been mildly amusing at best. Before I got around to posting the entry, Buddy and I went for a walk. When we got home, Buddy started going nuts. It was quite dark, so I could not see …

Morning Walks

, , , , , / 1 minute of reading /

Every morning and every evening that I am home, Buddy and I go out a walk a mile or two. It is said that a walk in the neighborhood is like reading the local paper for dogs. If this is true, Buddy is getting his fill of The Daily Breeze, the LA Times and USA Today. On top of that, we get to meet new dogs and see some interesting items along the way. That is why I bring a camera with me for every walk. My picture of the day for day 234 was taken on our morning walk. …

10th Street and The Strand

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

Back in the day, when I was young and studly, I used to have a pretty sweet work location. I did telephone installation and repair down at the beach. In fact, all the marinas and docks in the area were under my sole control. The guy that had the job before me made it look like it was really difficult. Since it was not, I made it look really easy and management just figured they should leave me alone and not distract me. I had it pretty good. Today I went to see Linda to get another haircut. Afterward, I …

Another fine day in paradise

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

Whenever I go away for a while, there is one thing I really look forward to upon arriving home. The weather. On my last day riding home from Sturgis I had to get up early so I could leave Las Vegas before it got too warm. The reason for this is that no matter how hot Las Vegas is, Baker and Barstow are probably going to be hotter. At least in the summer. It is exactly the opposite in the winter. Even though I left at 8:20 AM, the coolest temperatures I dealt with were in the upper 90’s, and …

A Picture a Day, July 2010

Photo of the Day, Project 365 [adrotate group=”6″] July 2010 Photos Sorry this is late, but there was a legitimate reason which I will not go into here. July was a pretty active month. It started off with some friends taking me out to dinner and then to see Devo in concert. It was pretty fun. I should probably put up a gallery from the show. The next day I flew to Indiana to visit Tanya and to participate in the annual GotWebHost.com 4th of July Extravaganza. Tanya flew home with me to attend VidCon and then we spent several …

Back to the grind

, , , , / 1 minute of reading /

While it may seem that I do not work very hard, nothing could be further from the truth. The fact is, the trip to Sturgis was the closest thing to a real vacation I have had in quite a while. These other travels have been more like working road trips. Naturally, I did fit in some work while on the trip, but it was secondary. Yesterday was my first full day back home, so I had lots of paperwork to take care of, and Buddy needed his trip to the groomer. My photo of the day for Day 231 is …

I made it home

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

Nine days, 3,200 miles. Some very nasty weather, and some nice weather. Beautiful canyons, waterfalls, bluffs, skies and motorcycles. Can not forget the motorcycles. I for one am so very pleased with the performance of my 2010 Harley-Davidson Limited. That thing was built for the open road. The 900 lbs. of weight really helped in the wind, and the 103 cubic inch motor with the six speed just loved it when I put the cruise control on at 90. 3,000 RPM! So smooth. My picture of the day for day 230, was taken today as soon as I pulled into …

A 600 mile day

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

It has been a very long time since I rode a motorcycle 600 miles in one day, but I did it Tuesday. Rock Springs, WY to Las Vegas, NV. The temps shot up over 115 once I got south of St. George, UT. I had made plans with some friends for dinner in Vegas, so I had to push on. That made it 1,100 miles in two days. Needless to say, I was pretty beat by the time I arrived, which is my excuse for the late posting. My picture of the day for day 229 is me after 600 …

Shelter from the storm

, , , , , , , , / 2 minutes of reading /

The thing about riding a motorcycle in Wyoming, is their weather is really unpredictable and is rarely pleasant. There is a lot of wide open spaces which means very little shelter. I have had several incidents in WY that involved their weather and the inability to find anywhere to hide. Today was another of those days. It started off great. The skies were threatening but I was able to pretty much avoid any significant rain for three or four hours. Then my luck began to dissipate. I sat out a rain storm in Rawlins, then decided to try and make …
