My friend Don wanted backup on his first outing with his newly acquired motor home and allowed me to bring Nikki and Ellie along to Galveston for a long weekend. Let me put it this way — my dogs were not afraid of the ocean. They got dunked by the first wave and that never […]
It was a hot summer. I rode thought 114, 116 degree temperatures through Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee and on. I was so glad to get out of the south, but it was just as hot when I returned. Vermont and Quebec were glorious. Click on the images to see slideshows of Vermont and Quebec.
Hard to believe that as many trips as I have taken that I have never taken the dogs out of town. They ride around with me all the time around town, but I don’t think they have ever left the city limits. So I decided it was high time for a dog reward trip for […]

It may have killed some travel plans for a while, but the house is gorgeous and the old press board siding was not long for this world so the work had to be done. The vinyl siding has foam insulation behind it so the house is warmer in winter and cooler in summer. The most […]
Well that’s true and not true. I have some great motorcycle travel plans for the summer of 2010, but for the first time since I started motorcycling not anything extensive because I have a major “other” expenditure going on — major home repair. The house was built in 1984 and the wood siding (more like […]
