"Buzz Lightyear"

I have a new nickname. Just call me "Buzz Lightyear". I had a women call me that while I was at the Gap. She said that my leathers look like Buzz Lightyear's suit. I never thought of it that way, but after they said it I think they are right. Here is a pic of me draggin' knee at the Dragon. Check out the leathers.

Patriot Day Parade

This past Saturday John, Liam And Mo were in the Florence Patriot Day Parade. It was a small parade but it was fun all the same. Mo and the kids had fun riding on the float and there were some neat things to see. There was a Cobra helicopter being towed along and some cool military trucks. St. Anthony's float won "Best Float". John was proud of that.

Labor Day @ The Gap

This past Labor Day we went to Deals Gap and had a blast! John loves riding with me and is an awesome passenger! He leans with me in the turns and everything! We camped at the motorcycle resort and met some neat people. Sunday was a little rainy but Monday was awesome for riding. I got some good runs in with John and by myself. We also got to go out to Fontana Dam one of John's favorite places. He loves looking down the massive spill tunnels that allow water to go down to the river below. They give me vertigo!

Here are the happy campers! Minus the photographer.

Here is John in front of the spillway for the dam.

John next to the spillway. This shows you how big that opening is.

Here we are at the overlook.

We also stopped at a Krispy Kreme on the way home and had some fun with the hats that the kids got. All in all we had a good weekend. The only cloud over the party was my layoff from work on the Friday before we left. We didn't let that ruin our good times though!

MMMM! Yummy!!!

Light Saber Fun!!!

The other night the family and I decided to have some fun with the camera and John's Light Saber toy. The results were a lot of laughter and oooo's and ahhhh's. Check out the results below.

800 miles in a day!!!

I know it has been forever since I wrote on my blog. I hopefully will do better at this. My life has been hectic and this has been low on the priority list. Anyway I had to travel to Louisianna for work and thought that I would ride the bike. The trip there was uneventful. Just alot of "Super Slab". The ride home is were it got interesting.

I decided to go to Arkansas, since it was only forty miles from where the meeting was held. Well I managed to get lost even using a GPS! There really is nothing in Arkansas. I was driving down a road and it just turned to dirt. It is spooky how desolate it is. I finally got to some form of civilization and spent the night in West Memphis.

The next morning I woke up and rode all the way home. It came out to be just about 800 miles! What a crazy adventure. I had fun and got to see some neat things.

Hopefully my next post won't be over six months from now.
