Snow blanketing the area

When you look out towards the street/road, do you wonder when the snow will give way to sunshine bouncing off the pavement? I do.

I really don't dislike snow so much that I wish it gone immediately but there are some things that I could be doing (like riding) that makes me wish for warmer days. Patience really is not my strongest trait.

Stay strong!

I really do not know why it takes me so long to post a new entry. I guess it is because I am either too busy or just have trouble choosing my words to get started but here is my next post

I finally reached my goal of travelling to over 26 differant cities in Ohio by completing the A,B.C s of Touring. I chose to ride to each city, stop in front of the post office, take a picture of my bike with the current issue of the HOG magazine, and then ride off to the next city. It took me a little over 4000 miles around Ohio while I got used to the bike. For my efforts I hope to receive a patch and a pin from the Harley Owners Group.

Believe it or not, it is very relaxing for me to ride a motorcycle through highways, back roads, and city streets. Sometimes I had a friend riding along but for the most part I travelled alone with my thoughts. The opportunity to see differant scenery from the road is very enlightening.

For now the bike is resting in the garage but you can be sure if there is a day where the temperatures reach 50 degrees, I will be out there.

First Time for Everything

Well, you can probably guess from the title that I am a newbie to blogging. My wife has actually been blogging for some time now. I was just waiting for the right thing to inspire me to write.

Before I begin my new quest, there are a few things about me that I would like to share. 1. I try to live my life without any "regrets". I know that sounds like I am calculating and evaluating risk before I do anything but it is actually the opposite. If I don't like how something turns out, I can't go back and change it so I have learned that I am responsible and I have to accept whatever occurs and move forward.

Secondly, I have always said that "I have never met anyone that I did not like; there are just some people I learn to like less". I honestly believe that everyone has value but perhaps they I need to look for the good in them. It is not my place to judge anyone so I just have to remember that I am not the person who manages other peoples thoughts and opinions. As you probably can guess, I am an optimist.

There you have it, my first post. I hope that you can learn to like me more ( or less) If you come back, I promise to become more entertaining!
