Assembling the New Ride

Got around to assembling bike this week, and taking it on a maiden voyage. Oddly, there were no directions in the box. I kind of like that. A pro thing. You should know what to do. There were some instructions on the outside, starting with how to open the box: Apparently I was supposed to … Continue reading Assembling the New Ride →

Spirit Airlines of the Sea

Carnival Cruise lines put rules into place limiting ghetto behavior. The fatigue is real. In recent years the unwritten rule among most vacation goers interested in a week-long cruise was to stay far away from boats with cheap tickets. Why? Well, no one has been allowed to say why publicly, but the mountain of video … Continue reading Spirit Airlines of the Sea →

Ride Report

I had enough. For a number of reasons, I decided I needed two wheel therapy on Good Friday. The weekend was building a suck factor. So that needed to be rectified with some speed. Friday was the only day to do it, since storms were due Saturday and Sunday. The winds were already picking up. … Continue reading Ride Report →

Las Vegas 2

Yesterday was a work day, I had to setup for the course I was teaching. First thing I did was try and find the McDonalds. I didn't want to spend $30 on breakfast, and I needed something simple my guts would tolerate. So I wandered all over trying to find how to get down Las … Continue reading Las Vegas 2 →

Travelogue: Las Vegas, Day 1

Holy crap, I hate to travel. Back when I first got this gig it was 75% travel. I was on the road all the time. It didn't take long for it to get old. Now, I really hate it. I chose Uber to get to DFW airport, since it would be cheaper than parking, and … Continue reading Travelogue: Las Vegas, Day 1 →

Ride Report: Wimberly TX

It's been a minute since I've been to Wimberly Texas. The boy and I were trying to think of a way to have a motorcycle road trip and I came up with Wimberly. So we did some planning and found that we could do a 'dot city' route to go check it out. Dot cities … Continue reading Ride Report: Wimberly TX →

Reynosa, Mexico

I'm still struggling to come up with a handle for the new girl. Herself 2.0? She's not really a Herself. Too much feminine charm for that. It'll hit me. She invited me to Reynosa to see where she grew up, her hometown. She has a house there that she inherited, and it needed sorting out. … Continue reading Reynosa, Mexico →

Gone South

Real south. Visiting Reynosa Mexico with New Woman. Had to stop by Chip & Joanna’s Magnolia empire on the way. The rain quit before Austin, she took the wheel at San Antonio. Long day it was. Time to get horizontal.

Sandbridge, VA

Last week I headed up, back to the motherland. Virginia in this case, to Sandbridge. Sandbridge is a beach, some ways south of Virginia beach. Unlike the traditional beaches, this one is nearly all rental properties - no hotels, no motels, no camping. There's exactly one beach store/restaurant that looks like it could be on … Continue reading Sandbridge, VA →

Richmond, Va

Haven't done a travel story in some time. This weekend found me at a wedding somewhat south of the motherland (Northern Va), in Richmond. The area in that part of the country has a number of fantastically beautiful winery venues, and this one was was spectacularly so, with a view of the James River. Richmond … Continue reading Richmond, Va →
