Today in Taft

I’m in a barber shop. Not kidding and not the start of a joke. There’s a discussion on how our current president is fixing things and how without him we’d be in [more of] a crappy situation. Not a rich area, guys. It turns out the barber is that famous…

Five Stars

The Chutes is simply phenomenal fun. The other trail finding app has some more photos beyond the one below taken by yours truly honestly with smiling anticipation. Then there are videos too such as this one. Ultimately I rode down all 3 options and redid the first (that route being…

Define Too Much

At 1/6 into the ride Zeke was pooped. Still, the route was oh so compelling. Plus I have an association with how an occasional big effort day, the ones physiologically perhaps too taxing, sure seem to make for inflection points. In other words, that blowing up from time to time…

Total Recall

Wow that was a killer film. While there may be equals, it is technically not possible to exceed its marks. Like light speed really for those of you who don’t get it yet. Entertainment value notwithstanding, there was a point late summer or maybe in the fall when I noticed…

Upgrades!!!

The backup camera is fully installed. Super helpful in those easy to find tight spots. It can be powered on without being in reverse; it’s not wired to the reverse light’s power. Yay! Behind the redwood is where the radio I guess at one point was. 🚌 Snow is all…

Upping The Ante

Being honest, neither of us are genuinely in shape. Zeke’s definition of in shape, in one sentence, today, is being able to do stuff such as biking pretty much day after day and enjoy the experience. I’d say I relinquished my club membership in 1991 and since have steadfastly maintained…

At The Casino

We spent the night at another nice place, maybe 15 minutes from Santa Fe. We’d planned on staying in the so called RV parking area at the hotel at which Amma will be. However, I’d read that maybe sleeping overnight wasn’t ok which prompted a call which confirmed the policy…

Reactions

I can’t remember clearly what I felt like back in high school and college when I was moving and grooving. I for sure recall carrying plenty of things as a laborer. And the double crew sessions I can testify without hesitation definitely happened. I recall waking up from a delicious…

Chaos and Serenity

In the great movie Brazil, one of the characters literally gets lost forever in paperwork. Be careful! Other news… May showers bring inches of rain and given the source, low temperatures too. Apparently a couple feet of new snow is in higher elevations. Luckily we got in a good ride…
