“Keep The Rubber Side Down”

Sunday Morning: sleep in, coffee, lazy, newspaper, reconnect, breakfast, grounded.

Good Sunday morning! Here in the East, “daylight savings” time began last night, we set our clocks back an hour. That means everyone arrives at church an hour early this morning, because they forgot to adjust their clocks. It is going to be a lovely Autumn day; sunny, with temperatures in the mid to upper 50’s. I will be leaving around 12:30 for a ride to Cincinnati. I plan to snap some photos of the downtown area. But before my fun begins…

-Grocery shopping
-Rake leaves
-Cut grass
-Clean up after the dog

Have a Good Sunday!

The sunlight is dancing off of the hues of red, and gold, of the stately old trees, which line my street, it is simply a beautiful start to my my Sunday morning.

I will accompany Ethan this morning, as he is getting his Senior pictures taken. For you who have gone through this, you know it can be a lengthy ordeal, and neither Ethan, or myself, our known to possess a great deal of patience. This could get very ugly!

This afternoon, I plan to ride, and shoot some landscape photos of the Fall colors in my area.

Last night Michelle and I , attended the viewing for her friend, Becky. I met her husband, and twenty year old son, who is simply devastated over his mother’s loss. The funeral will be this morning. Very sad! Life sucks sometimes!

By the way, have any of you seen the kid who will rake the leaves in your entire yard for like; $3.00? If you do, tell him I am looking for him! Have a Great Sunday!

Good Sunday Morning! The coffee is strong and hot! I am to meet a couple friends for breakfast, then together we will head to the meeting place for this years 29th Annual Toy Run. The organizers are anticipating some 900 bikers to be present for the charity event.

Ethan played his last home game Friday night. They have one game left but it is away, and on Saturday afternoon. He has had a nice four year H.S. career, and it is sad to see it end. Yet soon we will have the chance to watch him step into a new season of his life. Here’s a few photos! Have a safe Sunday!

Sunday Morning and my wife is gone, there are no pressing chores, or odd jobs to be completed. Which brings me to my dilemma; “Should I watch football all day“? or “Ride the bike to Indianapolis“? Tough decision!

Good morning. I have just taken my first sip of Joe and it was quite enjoyable! I hope whatever you’re drinking is half as tasty.

Springfield, has been having a round of hot and humid weather, which is also quite enjoyable! I am not certain how long it will last, but I plan to take full advantage of it. We will soon be leaving to take a ride to the “geographical center of Ohio”. Centerburg, is the geographical center of Ohio, and it is the town I lived in during my high school years. My hometown, is Columbus Ohio, the states capital, and home to THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY! Go Bucks! But after my eighth grade year, my mother and father, decided to get away from the bustle of city life, and so we moved to Centerburg, a small community about an hour north of Columbus. It has been several years since I have been through the old town, and last night I decided we should give the old girl a visit. I will snap a few photos, I’ll bet you just can’t wait for those! It’s about time to hit the road, have a fantastic Sunday, say a prayer for me, I will talk with you this evening!

Good Morning! I hope you have a chance to be alone with your coffee, and paper, for a little while this morning! Have a beautiful Autumn Day!

Good Sunday Morning to all of my friends and those not so friendly. A cool start to my morning, but by early afternoon things will be heating up quite nicely. I hope you have a memorable day!
Wait! Coffee has finished brewing!
OK, I am back.

Ethan attended Southeastern High Schools Homecoming with the daughter of Michelle’s friend. They looked so cute! The scoop; Ethan attends an inner city school with a reputation most schools with that branding carry; shootings, drugs, rough, war zone, etc, although most of the rep is undeserved! Southeastern H.S. is a country school, farm boys, tractors, 4H, etc. Two worlds collide! Both kids are well behaved and I am certain all went well. Ethan got home as I was heading to bed, so I will let you know how it turned out.

Last night Jonathan and I took an unexpected ride. We jumped on the bikes and before I knew it we were almost to Cincinnati. While stopped for fuel, we met a biker who was riding to Charleston W.Va. from his home in Dallas, a trip of approximately 1200 miles. He was sitting on the curb at the truck stop, smoking a cigar (my kind of guy) looking a little road worn. We talked for 15 minutes or so, and as we parted company and headed back on the road, I couldn’t help but to feel a tinge of jealousy towards our new friend.

TO DO LIST:
Grocery
Cut Grass
Help Michelle with the Fall decorations
Pay bills

This Sunday will be a little unusual for me, because I won’t be able to sit around and a drink coffee, read the paper, and watch Charles Osgood, like all the rest of you sorry saps! “I am a biker for God’s sake!” I’ve got the road calling me, wind in my hair, bugs in my teeth, kind of thing going on! I can’t be wasting time drinking coffee! OK, the truth is , my wife, and I are taking a nice, leisurely, Sunday ride, through the backroads of Ohio, and Kentucky, in order to look at all the pretty trees. I will see you when I get back! Have a coffee for me!

The rain gently tapping against my window pane is my wake up call. A lazy day awaits me! Have a Blessed morning!
