April Numbers & Latest Radio Show



                                                      The Boy Dogs First 14er

The Boy Dog was about 2 or 3 years old there and he was so upset at this particular moment. We embarked upon this adventure towards Handies Peak around 5am and Mother Nature was happy to provide a sunrise full of color. The whole hike was beyond perfect with that full spectrum of rich colors. Wildflowers lined the American Basin Trail and at about 11,00 feet ( 3,352 meters ) Mother Nature rolled in. Thankfully NO Lightning!!

But The Boy Dog NEVER Dug The Rain OR Backyard Sprinklers. As The Boy Dog and I surveyed the mountain ranges along the horizon, a random guy made his way to the top, the three of us looked around at all the beauty, we casually departed our pack as quickly as it emerged. Shadow Boy leading the way.

I Miss Him

Top 10 Baby!! I know someone would have said WHAT can't cut 6 seconds for a Top 5

April Numbers:
Run   -  59.5 miles
Bike  -  740 miles
Hours - 58
PR's - Lucky 7
14 Traveling Days and Two Days of Zero Activities




CYCLING:
Riding my two wheel aluminum GT has to be my most head clearing space in time. Nothing but options are offered when I head out on my bike. Its Beautiful

Thank You Mother Nature 
Somedays are focused on Strava segments and other days are meandering routes with no real cadence or destination in mind.
Wish This Shot Justified The Suffering AND Beauty 
Then, I found myself on Smyth Mountain. Talk about majestic views and peacefulness around every twist and turn. I experienced moments of clarity. All the rain has helped bring out those gorgeous desert floor aromas and our clear views become endless. The western slope offers such usually shaped juniper trees. They could all be featured in a western cowboy film with handsome young Clint dueling it out against The Duke. So Much Potential

Love It   -  Lucky 4's  -  Score

Inspiring Bird Mask For Halloween 2019??
The velvety night sky was filled with entertainment and I absolutely embarrass those plans of nothingness. I killed my damn neck by starring at the Spring Constellations dotted in so high above. Numerous satellites glided across that blanket of stars. They fly so much lower then those stars that they allowed depth of space to become so 3 dimensional for me. Way Cool

98 Streams!!! Amazing And THANK YOU


I also appreciate Spring races because the start time isn't until 9am. The Bed & Breakfast whipped up the most incredible breakfast!! The husband and wife team have a secret crape/pancake recipe. They only shared with me that its a cottage cheese base, high in protein, low in carbohydrates. Fresh Blackberries, Raspberries, Strawberries, and Bananas. And one beautiful cup of joe waiting for me at 5:05am. Totally Accommodating Folks

A Beast of a Climb - 1,300ft in 4.2 miles - But The Views 
Those Clouds - TE from GJ made an Appearance - Rock Star For Sure 
RADIO SHOW:
I am going to toot my own horn here for a second. I pulled off one of my top 10 radio shows Monday. OK, maybe top 20 if I really think about it. Actually, it was just an OK show.

Sunrise On Mt Garfield During My Ride Last Week 
I was the host during Enjoy The Ride and you will want to stream this show if you are an 80's fan. There is a peppered in mix of 70's rock and other obscure tunes as well. Stream This Link HERE For The Next Two Weeks. Hope Ya Dig

My Commendations For The Week 
Some of the tracks you will hear are from bands like Funky Soup Bowl with Way Down, Missing Persons, Sabrina Claudio with Tell Me, The Flirts, Van Morrison's Brown Eyed Girl, Alice In Chains acoustic version of Rooster, Billy Squier's Stroke, Devo, Elvis Costello's Pump It Up, Grace Potter's Paris, Modern English, English Beat's Tears Of A Clown, Squeeze Cool 4 Cats, Slightly Stoopid with Karl D, a live 1973 Golden Earring recording, Kajagoogoo's Too Shy, and The Vapors one hit wonder Turning Japanese. Just To Highlight A Few


ORTHO:
What month of body work. I was out of town a lot so I built my schedule around those trips and I felt pretty good about it. I was under the impression that about 4 clients a day was my limit because I am not a guru yet. Ortho does take a fair amount of focus and patience and listening. Not so much ear/conversation listening but more about what arises in the clients body. But on two different occasions, I saw 5 clients. During Easter Sunday, bitchin thunder storm rolled through, I worked with 6 clients and I wasn't wiped out from it. This Only Took Me Five Years Of Practice

For Perth - The Twins 
In fact, those longer days had the exact opposite effect on me. I was surprisingly energized and pleased about holding my own energy. I used to be completely drained after 3 or 4 sessions. Plus, I have noticed that I am tuning into the clients nervous system pretty quickly and tracking much better. Again, this had taken me over a decade of different combinations of body work studies. The Ortho Work Is Finally Becoming Clear


Having 19 of you streaming LIVE totally rocks my boat!! 

GOALS:
  1. I am NOT reaching for 700 miles again because of my schedule this month
  2. Slowing down and holding morning calisthenic poses/stretches 
  3. Remind others around me how they have made a difference
  4. Trouble shooting the old FJ Cruiser 
  5. Homework of bands/songs for my May 13th radio show for mixing Mr Robot 
  6. Pound The H2o


Until My Next Post, Be Well, Think Of Others First, Follow Your Gut Brain, And Lead With Your Heart

Cheers

    1. Some 30 years ago, we met in the late 80's, they looked very similar together. Now, you are right!! Robert is much smaller in hight and weight. They are currently sitting on a beach in Bangkok and will make a trip out here to the states this July. Looking forward to see them and will post photos, as you would imagine.

      Have A Brilliant Weekend,
      Cheers

  3. It was a pretty busy and active month for you. Do you take some down time and just do nothing?

    1. I will take some down time when I die. HA. Get That Pun??? I do my best to stay active and outdoors so that I don't dwell on Shadow Boy not by my side on the couch. Its sort of how I honor him and its also the enjoyment of riding my bike. Something very satisfying about cruising along.

      Thanx For Checking In,
      Cheers

  7. I can tell how much you miss Boy Dog. But that means that you and he had a deep love - which is something to savor, even in memory. You two had a lot of adventures! I still miss my amazing dog who died in 2012. I can be brought to a standstill on my bike as I remember our life together. There will never be another like her... but there have been dogs who are wonderful in their own ways.

    Enjoy your riding. The desert is sublime right now.

    1. Something That I Have Realized As Of Lately Is That He Was Also My Therapist. That Boy Dog Was The Best Listener And He Never Threw My Words Back In My Face. Shadow Boy Was A True Partner.

      The Desert IS Rich At This Time. Some Amazing Photos Coming Soon.

      Cheers

  8. What is it about spinning on two wheels that is just so freeing? Is that the word? freeing of all the crap that builds up and drags us down, yeah, freeing. I get missing The Boy Dog, I miss Gus so much. Today Jax pulled a Gus move and got right in my way. I think he was missing him to. It was just such a Gus move of getting exactly where I was going to step and then looking at me with a bit I'm sorry. Jax's normal look is that of WTF, look out you clod.

    Excellent month! Jax sends some bum wiggles and thanks you for the extra treats he has been getting. :)
