Real Gone–Cheryl Crow
Slow down, you’re gonna crash,
Baby you’re a-screaming it’s a blast, blast, blast
Look out babe, you’ve got your blinders on
Everybody’s looking for a way to get real gone
Real gone.
Real gone.
Here’s to being Real Gone!

Oooo…a high speed run on The Dragon…cross country. That machine simply loves to run. Good thing…I love to run her…hard and fast…
Got friends to meet in Johnson City…a couple side trips…1100 miles? (each way)
Let’s see…
Hottest day of the year so far?

Riding into the three states with the most heat warnings up?

A scheduled post!
Yeah…riding is what I need. I’m somewhere on the road…and I needed it.

Got a couple days to get [...]

I’ve been busy at work…and busy at home too…trying to get ready for a trip now. Drats. More maintenance for the machine…more work needed on the house.
Ah well. Such is life!
Anyway, I thought I’d draw your attention to a story I posted some time ago…due to an email from website reader I ended up re-reading [...]

So…waaay back when I was a kid…say about 18 or so…I was naive and believed that hard work and dedication (to a company) would get me ahead and make me a success. Heh…that is subject for another post…
I had a roommate at the time (he’s still my best friend)…and he believed too…
We’d been roommates a [...]

Emailed to me:
“SISU” is a Finnish word, and it describes an almost spiritual trait of absolute, heroically stubborn, utterly unyielding, unflinchingly stoic, total determination. ‘Sisu’ has been described as “washing a car in the rain, finishing a story read to a child even though the child has long ago hopped off the lap and gone [...]

Happy birthday America. This is both a solemn and joyous day for my country…which we celebrate in a typically American restrained and sensible manner.
Here…hold my beer…and hey y’all watch this!
It’s time to go blow some stuff up!

So…I’ve been dabbling in the visual arts. I am proud of some of my efforts. I’ve also been taking a life-drawing class. The reasons for these pursuits are many and not all easily explained. That’s okay, I’m not going to try here. They are subject for another post…
The end result of all this is I’ve [...]
