$68

Sixty eight dollars to replace every spring in my 1050. If you think about how much I reload per year, that's not too bad of a deal.

If I wish...

If I were to have a magic wish that would change one thing about Arkansas I would eliminate all bug the bite people. I'm really tired of always having some sort of bite from a creepy crawly.

Princesa y the pea

02:54 and I'm awakened by the cooling fan for the dvr box and my tummy rumbling from a fairly large dinner of Mexican food for Taco, or in my case Tamale, Tuesday.

I wish I wasn't such a sensitive sleeper. It has to be completely dark and completely silent and still for me to sleep solidly.

Balance point.

I've never been super awesome at wheelies on a motorcycle. And now at my age the idea of throwing myself on the ground for fun is less and less appealing. I mean, I'll take it as a matter of course in doing something and it happens, but not going in knowing it will.

So instead I will be perfecting my bicycle wheelies instead. As I kid I could ride a wheelie around the block on my bicycle. Today I'm lucky if it's a few bike lengths.....

Should be a fun diversion while it's kinda chilly outside and I'm inbetween training evolutions during the day.

-I do have pictures of me doing wheelies on a motorcycle and a pedal bike, just on my phone, not on my computer where I published this from.

Fun!

Fitness isn't really essential for my sport. Like bowling I guess, hahaha.

But fitness never hurts and makes the rest of life more fun.

And I think push bikes, to use the UK term, are fun. And if you're a new reader I was a bike mechanic for years as a part time job before college and later during a transition.

It's 68f during January, the sun is out and I have access to a bike. The fun makes itself!

Highest of highs and hardest of hard

Ahhhh, a picture of the time I climbed Mt Whitney; the tallest mountain in the 48 states.

What a grueling day it was for most of us in our party. A rowdy epic for sure.

Killing Time

Since I've killed all my social media stuff I'm still in the habit of being on the computer or my phone for like 4 hours out of the day but with much different things during that time. Eventually I'd like that time to be cut in half but until I make that happen here is how I currently kill my time while on my phone or online

-Wordfued game on my phone. I have like 6-8 games going all the time. I'm pretty good, if you want to play me it is "rowdstar" when you want to add me.

-Golf solitaire on my phone. Thanks mom.

-Duolingo on my phone. Absolutely the best language learning app out there!! I'm doing Spanish and Norwegian.

-Blogger app on my phone so I can more easily do this while out and about and at the spur of the moment.

-Shooting and competition forums. Mostly lurking on all but Enos, where I post fairly regularly. Rarely on my phone for this.

-Movie preview, trailer and spoiler sites.

-Genealogy work.

-Motorcycle news, racing reports and reviews.

-Youtube for watching about whatever has popped into my mind.

I swear I go to the same 12 websites for 90% of my traffic on the web. Notice nothing about news, politics, regular sports, music, fashion, travel, money and the other things I think are really big draws for people. I am considering adding Instagram back but I'm not sure.....
