Road Trips
Fayetteville KOA
As we motored down I-95 I thought about where we might be just before sunset. I don’t cotton much to setting up in the dark anymore. It was then that I phoned my old friend Tom Dreyer. We met Tom and his wife Nancy four years ago while we were at our first working stint … Continue reading
Friends
We left Lake In Wood last weekend, leaving the rig on site for the insurance adjuster to address. We headed West in the truck for a few weeks of visiting friends. Our plans were to meet up with Tom and Deanna at Table Rock Lake in western Missouri. Tom and Deanna are friends we worked … Continue reading
9/11 In a Different Light
09/11/01 is stamped indelibly in our minds. We remember the morning, where we were, and the aftermath of that infamous date. Not to diminish those events, I commemorate that day in my own personal way. 9/11 was the date I chose for my cancer surgery and this marks my fourth anniversary sans the dreaded “Big … Continue reading
The End Is Coming
The world as we know it is coming to an end on Saturday, May 21st by all predictions. I’m pretty much pissed off about all this. I really screwed up. I drove back to Pittsburgh on Monday as I had scheduled myself for a simple procedure. In no need of a trache or stoma anymore, … Continue reading
In Good Hands
We’ve settled in at Lake In Wood Camping Resort once again, having tied everything down by Wednesday. There still is a certain sense of acute awareness that exists here. It’s much more than the elusive “it” factor. The ambiance and environment is reasoning behind the 5* Star rating from Woodalls, but that is exceeded by … Continue reading
Cedar Key and Two Guys from Back Home
Almost Sunset on the Suwanee I had been hankering for a diversion. I get bored easily and I’d had enough fishing and lying poolside for awhile. I thought it would be a nice trip to Segway the town of Cedar Key. I had been there a few weeks ago on my own but Robin needed … Continue reading
Sunshine, Snow, and Sinuses
This was our wake up call a few mornings ago. After being greeted to this glorious sunrise, things started to change drastically for us. We were looking at a three hour ride to the Orlando airport but enroute were interrupted by Williston’s finest. Doing thirty-nine in a twenty-five zone landed me a yellow slip, which … Continue reading
Battle of Olustee
Sunday was time for a motorcycle road trip. I had spotted the Olustee Battlefield Park some weeks ago on a return from Jacksonville Airport. I remembered seeing a re-enactment to take place on this weekend. I saddled up the Stratoliner and headed out for Trenton, where I decided to take some back roads. Heading north … Continue reading
And then the Rains came
After dropping Erin off at the airport, our plans were to pack up everything for the move down to Lakeland for the plumbing fix. The hardest rain I ever saw hit not only Yellow Jacket but almost the entire state. We did get a bit of a slow down, enabling us to pack the trailer … Continue reading
Here We Go Black and Gold (by Brutus)
I knew there would be some time to kill today. Parts for “the Rev” were late coming in and we’re still parked here in Lakeland. I’m lovin’ it as I sit for most of the day gazing out the window. There must be two dozen cats living in these parts. Robin calls them feral but … Continue reading
