Mother Nature Bring It On! Only a biker can understand the above statement... However, today race is already shut down. Truth is that the latest tires offers incredible wet weather grip, but we often wonder whether it helps to be a bit obsessive about riding a motorcycle. Obsessive people think about every detail, and test the smallest little things to see if they make an improvement. Nowhere is that mindset more useful than when the wind is howling and it’s pouring with rain

I swear my house was spotless at one time. There weren’t any dishes in the sink. There wasn’t any laundry on the floor. That layer of dust you see wasn’t even here. Please don’t write in the dust! I’m pretty sure even my toilet was clean. Can you imagine a pristine toilet? Sorry that you missed that. It really was great. It smelled good too. In fact, the whole house smelled wonderful. But it isn’t that bad, right? Next time you visit us I’m sure our house will be clean again.

When you mention motorcycles you hear the usual statement of them being too dangerous and scary and fast, or some other statements along the lines of 'you'll never catch me on one of those', but there may be something they have not really thought about! There are quite a few but here are 10 advantages of motorcycles... 1. They're A Bargain First things first. Motorcycles are more affordable than cars when you really think about it! Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of ex

For many of us of a certain age, an age before helmet laws, personal injury attorneys and when all we had to do was “be home before 10 p.m.,” the 10-12 year old aspirational vehicle was a minibike. There they were, staring at us from the classified ad section of popular magazine, promising equal parts horsepower and freedom for less than $100. Some, the lucky kids, got one. Then others had to sulk in defeat while snob Pinky Hall cruised the neighborhood like he was some sort

Some of us are obsessed with having a pristine, spotless bike, and for us, there’s no better feeling than scrubbing and polishing our bikes until they are sparkling in the sun, making the neighbors jealous. Well, not so sure of my neighbors... Still all the same we did my shine & polishing procedure bright and early in the cool morning. A few years ago I found a delightful short cut that works... Lemon Pledge or even a generic brand works great too. It can be used on paint, c

I made the Journey to Sturgis, SD Motorcycle Rally in 2005 & 2020. Sturgis Motorcycle Rally is held annually in Sturgis, South Dakota, for ten days & usually starting the first Friday in August. The first rally was held by Indiana Motorcycle riders on August 14, 1938, by the Jackpine Gypsies motorcycle club. The club still owns and operates the tracks, hill climb, and field areas where the rally is centered. The first event was called the "Black Hills Classic" and consisted o

My first stop was actually at Williams... A small town nestled in the pine country of Arizona. Route 66 history buffs can explore more than six blocks of historic buildings and shops bursting with memorabilia. For the train enthusiast you can ride the Grand Canyon Railway through Arizona's high country. I buzzed on down the highway past towns that I had stopped on trips before. So the next gas stop was Gallup, New Mexico. I decided to take a look at the El Delorado Hotel. It

1 John 4:20 (NKJV) If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? (Actually now 63 years ago) I find that I have lived a life of rejections for many reasons but mostly for loving when others could not understand. I found myself always doing what my heart told me that was right, whether it be loving a man that was much older when others could not understand w

A place to experience... Just yonder, in the rolling hills of the Missouri Ozarks stands a legacy to the passing of time. Barkerville Seed Farm & Pioneer Village. I love to shop for seeds, see their trial gardens, learn about seed growing, enjoy their animals and experience the authentic pioneer village. Icing on the cake is to eat lunch at their Vegan restaurant that features a daily sample of the vegetables grown & prepared right there on the farm. The restaurant is only op

"People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily." Zig Ziglar It is a shame that tragic events have to happen before we sit down and evaluate what is truly important in our life. Losing my family members over the years has opened my eyes to take each day as a new opportunity to live. “To Get a life. A real life, not a mere pursuit of the next promotion, the bigger paycheck, the larger house. . . Get a life in which

A plethora of information can be found on the internet at all hours of the day and night. The following are a few tidbits of information to remember... 1. Assuming you want to tip 20 percent for good service, move the decimal point one digit to the left and then double that number. It's that easy! For example, if a bill is for $35.50, you move the decimal to the left, which gives you $3.55. Double that number, and you've got $7.10—a 20 percent tip calculated in seconds. 🧐 2.

We’ve all have those filing cabinets or maybe drawers filled with stuff we can’t seem to throw away. You know those files, like credit card statements and other old records from over a decade ago. And then there are the personal items: the crusty bouquet of dried roses I’ve kept for years (a relic from my husband), the giant stack of books from my college days still gathering dust in the corner, the endless piles of my stuff and boxes of Christmas cards & decorations that I

Life brings tears, smiles, and memories... The grandkids always bring tears, smiles and beloved memories because they are growing up so fast and with this COVID-19, I am missing them. I miss the days when they were my little hams. Sometimes all it takes is a familiar smell or a certain taste to evoke an old memory, making you feel like you are back in time in that moment where it was created. When I was a kid, mom and dad rented a place for the summer that had pink appliances

I read a post from a Women In The Wind Motorcycle site... It got me to pondering "things." We can ask ourselves... What is really important? Yes the vest and pins might be missed but those are just "things." Sure it has taken 40 years to accumulate them & some may not be replaced. However, you still have the memories and that you can't loose! Just my thoughts... If the vest can not be found then, get another vest, add new pins and make new memories. It's doable! I say this v

Everyone has heard of or I think you may have seen poison oak, ivy and sumac – vile vegetation which wreaks havoc with rashes and blisters and apparently if sweating please don't rub eyes. Once upon a time a friend started pulling a vine in my jungle of trees around the house. He also pricked his finger on a thorn. He noticed a small rash on his arm and then the next day he woke with a slightly swollen eye. He insisted this happened years before and it was ok. However, ye

Remember on those Inferno Midwest Hot Days! A few days ago, I was watching once again on the news how incredibly dangerous our garden hoses were then and today. What are they talking about? Actually, the facts behind the “killer garden hoses lurking in your backyard” are hardly scary. The news story centered on the fact that most garden hoses are made of polyvinyl chloride, better known as PVC. PVC has high levels of lead and other chemicals and, therefore, the claim was that

In the past I've been visiting family in the small town of Delta, Colorado. Plenty places to catch a hometown breakfast, Italian or a taco or two. When I passed Orval's Used Cars in Delta I realized it was not an ordinary car lot. The vehicles are mostly collectibles. The place is full of old cars from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s that are offered as restoration projects. Delta is also City of Murals... Enjoyed those days of my Westward Journey... Nana

When you think of Grimm's fairy tales, they are deeply, deeply psychological. They're so powerful, so bloody, and really, really disturbing. Think about five-year-olds reading that stuff. Even 'Little Red Riding Hood' is a really freaky story. Grandma is gobbled up by a wolf, and the wolf is going to eat the girl. That's scary stuff. Or... I another & probably the scary thing, as weird as it sounds, was 'The Wizard of Oz' and the flying monkeys with the witch. I remember see
