Well, l have been having such a good time visiting friends in Winnipeg, Manitoba and Minneapolis, MN that I have not completed my Harvey, ND – Winnipeg, Manitoba and Winnipeg, Manitoba – Minneapolis, MN posts. I am still alive and having a great time visiting my friends. Tonight I reconnected with an Army friend who…

I spent a day in Rapid City with my sister and her family before heading north once again. I went for a couple of rides with my Brother-in-law, Jeremy and even took Brady for a ride on my bike on our way back from Nemo, SD where we had some ice cream. The day there…

Monday morning began with a downpour in Denver, CO. Around 11am it began to clear up so I got on the road. The I-25 north out of Denver was bumper to bumper traffic cruising at 80-85mph. Teri was right, Denver does have some of the worst drivers around. I didn’t want to think that, but…

Sunday morning started with an amazingly beautiful ride on scenic byway 128 heading northeast out of Moab, UT. From there I headed east on the interstate to Grand Junction, CO for brunch with a coworker and her family. After brunch I jumped back on interstate 70 east to Denver through some gorgeous country. The rain…

Today’s ride began in Phoenix and ended in Moab, UT. I stopped in Flagstaff, AZ to have breakfast with Missy and John who used to be a part of Phoenix Area Rottweiler Rescue and are awesome people! John had to work so Missy and I met at Campus Coffee to catch up while we ate.…

This past weekend I was able to attend my nephew’s wedding in Culver, IN. Culver is where he went to high school and I now know that there are nice areas in Indiana. The lake near Culver was really beautiful and the high school campus is quite historic. It was founded before 1900. Here are…

This Saturday I attended the Overland Expo at Mormon Lake, AZ. Here are some pictures:  CLICK! Here is a link to their expo info:  Overland Expo  

This is the kind of thing that gets people excited about space! We need more scientists, engineers, etc. to fuel exploration and new ideas, but our educational system seems to be only focused on tests. I certainly don’t have the answers, but watching this made me feel like a little kid and that thought of…

I had this as the main page, but didn’t want to remember that night anymore.  I just want to remember how wonderful he was. If you’d like to read it, here it is:  click

This May was the second annual Lake Powell trip and it did not disappoint.  The detour around 89 to Page didn’t extend the drive too much, the weather was perfect, the people were as great as always and the lake as beautiful as ever.  We hiked, kayaked, swam, relaxed, napped, played games and sat around…

Every year the El Paso, Tucson and Phoenix HHH groups put on an event in Rocky Point (Puerty Penasco), Mexico and I’ve been down for the last four years.  This year kept with the ongoing tradition of fun, sun and a little exercise.  We did our usual pub crawl on Friday night, run on Saturday…

Received these shoes this week to try out. Might be a little too minimal for me, but they have been great for walking around the house.  🙂 —Update 4/7/2013 After a few runs I am really liking these shoes. Very light, good support and the fit like a glove.

This past weekend I went on a ride with a few friends out to Roosevelt Lake. We rode out of Phoenix to the northeast past Fountain Hills, then south to Tonto Basin / Punkin Patch for a break and some lunch. Once we left there we continued south to Roosevelt Dam for a break and…

Last night I went to a Phoenix Suns game against Toronto at the US Airways Center in Phoenix. I hadn’t been to a game in years and now I know why. They played loud music throughout the game which was a mix of the usual game sounds (organs) to a live person mixing music throughout…

Makers Mark Website Dear Ambassador, Since we announced our decision last week to reduce the alcohol content (ABV) of Maker’s Mark in response to supply constraints, we have heard many concerns and questions from our ambassadors and brand fans. We’re humbled by your overwhelming response and passion for Maker’s Mark. While we thought we were…

Saw two people hit their dogs at the dog park today for no reason. Not little taps but a full swing. I asked one guy why he hit his dog and asked if he would like to be hit that hard. I really dislike people sometimes.

Last weekend I rode with friends on the back half of Desert Classic off of the Warpaint trail head.  In my opinion, this part of the trail is so much better than the front half.  Fewer people, more challenging and if you feel like a climb you can go up the helipad trail and then…

I picked up the Excelvan ELM327 v1.5 Bluetooth Mini Small Interface OBD2 Scanner Adapter (link) for the Torque application on my Samsung Galaxy S2 Android phone. I have been interested in getting one of these, but the prices were entirely too high…until now. I paid under $20 shipped and it is working extremely well. Installation…
