do the monstermilitia party?


Friday nite we took over the Cricketeer's Arms back room and Beautiful Barb lead the way towards a grand evening.
This was my first outing with these most excellent fans of the Monsters and they made me feel right at home instantly. I'm looking forward to hearing the stories from last nite and to the next gathering of my new found amigoes.

what a long, strange trip it's been.

and this is another glimpse into my reality. all music of course is joey's writing and recording. he is the skinny young man with too long hair and i am the rollypolly one. My son joe said "nah, dad, that motor home camping is not real camping. i'd just as well not go", when we suggested renting one to camp out with the whole fam damily one last time before both boys spread out to all corners of the world. So, finally the circumstances and our stars aligned for us to spend 5 days on the road (totally 1865 miles) and 4 nights sleeping under the stars. At our first campsite Joey said "hey dad. i think there's something in the woods. A light keeps snapping on and off. Over there. Watch". Well i did for a few moments and caught the familiar yet ancent view of some lightning bugs lovin life. I had not seen them since my early west virginia days, many moons ago.

gap anyone?

here is a little experiment that has been dying to be uploaded...

more catch up?

greetings key board.
what a long strange trip its been as of late... and now on top of that blogger has opened up the editing genie in the bottle and added new toys to explore. but this the time and place for motorcycle stories... can i catch up from last november? as is the case, when one is busy doing, its hard to write, especially when i have this speeding ticket to work off, but that story is for another time.
i dont' see any mention here of Harold's Annual Veteran's Day Run, so that's where i'll start. Hmmm. I have no pics, so there that is.


i do have this kewl pic, but lets hold on to that story for a sec.
Harold leads about 30 roaring happy and free riders out of the new shop on the second sunday in november out east on 46 to 415 north to rrrrrr, i cant remember the name of the joint, but know that it is a "no colors" bar next to Skips Boots, with a large enough gravel parking lot to hold a hundred or so bikes and is usually half full every weekend. On and off during the day, you know how bikers live to ride in, wet the whistle then ride on. any hoo we pick up another 30 club member bikes there, then saddle up, start up and claim the road as ours, with our excellent road captains blocking all cages from our united pack.

day 29

greetings keyboard. remember me. the one who just couldn't live with out you, yes the same one who hasn't stopped by to visit for 2 months. No more guilt please, i have enough. Guilt and excuses. Like those two ever did anyone any favor. Today it is breezy and and cool 62 degrees with high puffy and only slightly forebodding clouds. The wild birds are singing in the conservation easement and all his as it is here in Lopezville.



Here is your author and lovey heading out downtown.
