SPRING RIDING

Hey folks! I think I'm going to fire up the ol' blog again. It's been a nice riding season already (and it's only April!) and I'd feel selfish if I didn't share it with all of you.

I'll be honest, life's been good, and I wish I could spin out some really fascinating tale of kidnappings and top secret espionage but... that's not gonna happen. Sorry. The truth is, I didn't realize just how bad this blog was going to suffer when I set some New Year's resolutions way back in January. Geesh!

None the less, I'm back and I hope to rekindle your interest in my drivel.  There have been several birdies in my ear letting me know that I've been missed, so with that being said, let's go!

Scenic ride through Horseshoe Bend

 I've been enjoying the Boy while logging the miles... one breathless landscape at a time.  That's one thing that has not stopped!  In fact, this past Saturday, somewhere along the Talledega Scenic Highway, Harley and I noticed this busy little bee during one of our rest stops.

Buzzzzzz...

 He was big!

We saw several other riders out and about, so it was a very wavy day.

Fellow riders on Mt. Cheaha

We logged about 280 miles on the bikes while riding on Mt. Cheaha Saturday.  With the temps lingering in the low 70's by lunch time, it was a wonderful way to spend my day... taking notice of the beautiful playground my Creator made for me.

Have a great week everybody!

FRIDAY FUNNY - THE MIRACLES OF MOTHER NATURE

The Miracles of Mother Nature... 

 

 

A man was driving down the road and ran out of gas. Just at that moment, a bee flew in his window.

The bee said, 'What seems to be the problem?'

'I'm out of gas,' the man replied.

The bee told the man to wait right there and flew away. Minutes later, the man watched as an entire swarm of bees flew to his car and into his gas tank. After a few minutes, the bees flew out.

'Try it now,' said one bee.

The man turned the ignition key and the car started right up. 'Wow!' the man exclaimed, 'what did you put in my gas tank'?


The bee answered,

Wait for it...

I see you smiling!!

PIC OF THE WEEK - WHAT'S THE BUZZ?

Harley and I have been hunting new roads and trails that lets us play in our Jeep the way Jeeps are meant to be played with.  Last Saturday, we were in the woods away from all other traffic, enjoying the comfortable temperatures of fall when Harley spotted this huge wasp nest.

WHAT'S THE BUZZ??


 
It was the biggest wasp nest I've ever seen!  We sat there and watched it for a while to see if it was still active.  Harley had this big idea to cut it down and take it home with us.  Although we both agreed that this would look cool hanging in our backyard, neither one of us was willing to go tap it to see if it was full of bees!!


We had the machete, but we didn't have any way of wrapping it up or carrying it.  I think we'll visit that place again, armed with wasp spray and a plastic garbage bag.  Probably not the smartest plan I've ever had, but certainly the most daring. I'll let you know how it turns out.

I guess I'll be like Paul Harvey next week and give you all... "the rest of the story!"

Have a great week everybody!
