Sonora got her wish of having her birthday at Chuck E Cheese this year. It wasn’t one of those “official parties where they come out and sing to you, but just an informal gathering of family and friends. She got to have her cake and eat it too. One of the kids favorite rids is … Continue reading “5.15 Sonora’s 5th Birthday”
This is it. Its Monday and our last day of motorcycle madness. I’m getting used to the lifestyle but my reality tells me that there are more important things than the road for me today. Two kids and a wife await my return. They will never fully understand how this trip has changed me, but … Continue reading “Arkansas Motorcycle Trip Part 6”
Sunday, and we are just starting to get into the riding groove. Its our third full day on the road and Hiatt and I are getting used to this life. The road waits, and all we have to do is wake up and eat breakfast. So we head down to breakfast for the second day … Continue reading “Arkansas Motorcycle Trip Part 5”
Saturday, and we got a late start. After the previous night riding in the dark, we were ready to sleep in. Once we got down to breakfast, we realized that it would be a bit longer before we left the hotel. The food at breakfast was amazing. Fresh quiche and waffles. In an effort to … Continue reading “Arkansas Motorcycle Trip Part 4”
Friday morning, I woke to the alarm on my phone. I was quick to get through my morning routine and be dressed to ride. We shared a continental breakfast at the hotel lobby and then had to figure out what to do.

It was folded and flipped through numerous times. I’m impressed that it made it this long. Lost the images, but here are … Continue reading “Arkansas Motorcycle Trip Part 2”
I wanted to add a couple items. The planning section for where Hogan and I went to was a little bit of a battle. Hogan didn’t want to be land locked to a state and I knew Arkansas had some great roads. The quest was to have a happy medium between adventure and just logging miles to log … Continue reading “Arkansas Motorcycle Trip Part 1 – Hiatt’s Counterpoint”
Its Thursday, May 5th and my bags are packed. I kissed the wife and kids goodbye and took off for work. This was going to feel like a long day even though I planned on sneaking out of the office around 3:00pm. The plan was to meet my brother, Hiatt, at a Braums restaurant in … Continue reading “Arkansas Motorcycle Trip Part 1”
I want to come clean by saying that I’m not a huge baseball fan. I will occasionally go to games when tickets are cheap or free. I prefer baseball in the form of ESPN highlights where the top 10 plays of yesterday are shown and I can see the score of all the teams in … Continue reading “On Going To The Stadium”
Each month, I participate in the Sunset Race Series. This event is the second Thursday of each month and traditionally held on the Meramec river. This month, we had a slight change of venue. Instead of everybody bring their own boats and racing to the finish, we all piled into a 31′ voyager canoe build … Continue reading “Voyager Canoe Outing”
