Super Blue Moon

This Hotel Bar Is Full Of People     The Piano Man Is Really Laying It Down    The Old Bartender Is High As A Steeple    So Why Tonight Should I Wear A Frown     The Joint Is Jumping All Around Me    And My Mood Is Really Not In Style    Right Now The Blues Flock To Surround Me    But I'll Break Out After While     Yes I'm A Million Miles Away      I'm Sailing Like Driftwood    On A Windy Bay

This Summer has totally Kicked My A$$. I have about half of a July blog in the queue. But a few days before I planned an upload, that Nasty Phuc N Grim Reaper made its presents known.  Pee Wee Herman passing away so rocked my world.  


We are all aware of celebrities passing in threes but there were about a dozen deaths that side swiped my cheek bone. A number of friends , significant , consequential , & impactful folks shuffled off this mortal coil over the Summer. And I just wasn't properly prepared for the news coming down the pipe. 


Plus, August has been difficult in general as I miss that damn Boy Dog so much. Still riding the first day of the month in his honor. 


Still stepping with my best foot forward 

BIKE NIGHT THEME: 

Thrift Store, so I whipped these out for everyone. 



I have so much to be thankful for. Like community members, creative outlets, health, and meaning full interactions. 



All the Summer jobs were top shelf. Packed up with some highly entertaining cats, totally digging the house sitting jobs, and all while prioritizing my time for two and three day getaways. 


Meeting new faces with every ride and I am so proud of my $1.99 shirt. Couldn't believe my luck as this shirt carries the old pearl style buttons. The Dude broke out Bill & Jan's jewelry for the occasion. Bring On Bike Night Baby 

EXPLORING 101:

CYCLING:


Yup, still on a bike everyday. I mean, like why not?? 




And I Finally Accomplished The Feat Of Circling Mother Earth w/ 40,550 KMs 

SPEAKING OF Mother Earth:


The desert sends off mega charges and our grand valley topped out at 82 strikes a minutes. 



That's Right, 82 Strikes A Minute. Wanna waste some time , check out this sweet lightning ( HERE ) map website I camp out on during appropriate time frames. Be careful, highly addictive website. 



And over the moon about the hurricane drifting into Florida on a Blue Moon , high tide patterns, and unreal warm gulf waters. What a beautiful recipe we have here my friends. 

MORE TO SHARE:

I happily hang an 8 out of 10 blooming flowers on the Summer of 2023. And thrilled about the Blue Moon Tomorrow Night on this 30th day of August. Just in case you didn't catch that. Its been a fine year this year has been. 

GOALS:

  1. Hanging With The Group For Cycling Sept
  2. Updating Regularly Again
  3. Working The Time Lapse Angle
  4. Playing Well With Others
  5. Rocking Friday Night Bike Night As All The September Themes Are In My Wheelhouse 


In Closing, I truly thank you all once again. So many of you kind bloggers still pop in and drop wonderfully delightful messages. I appreciate all of them and ALL of YOU. 


You Make My Heart Smile,

Cheers

Happy Birthday Tim

I Used To Think Maybe You Loved Me Now Baby I'm Sure        And I Just Can't Wait Till The Day When You Knock On My Door      Now Every time I Go For The Mailbox        Gotta Hold Myself Down       Cause I Just Cant Wait Till You Write Me You're Coming Around      I'm Walking On Sunshine , Wooah    I'm Walking On Sunshine , Woooah    And Don't It Feel Good

RIVER:

Going to allow these photos to speak for themselves throughout this post and wish a very magical birthday to my brother Timbo 



Above is The Dude's old neighbor boy from around 2000 - 2002. We couldn't believe we randomly crossed paths at the put in. Below is a photo of me taking a photo of Robert taking a picture. Classic 





                                          Love Rocks Baby 

CAMPING: 

Well, not car camping the whole trip 














Fortuitous accommodations and you wanna talk about crashing out like a big dog. Oh Baby 



BIKE NIGHT:

The month of July has been a full spectrum of all of it and it is ONLY the 10th of July. But Friday Night Bike Night saves the soul once again. $9.99 Helps 





On Thursday Evening, it was posted that the theme would be Neon for Friday Night's Bike Night. I was originally going to pass and just ride to ride. But the bug caught me as I was fixing bikes , adding accessories to their bikes , and then I unearthed my pink wig from one of the costume tote bins. So bright pink swim trunks, my lime green shirt, and that pink wig found its way onto my body. Let's Ride 

GOALS:

  1. Dance 
  2. Hydrate
  3. Travel Safely 
  4. Consume Happy Pills
  5. Play Nice 

So I leave you with our latest jam during Open Mic Night. Nate and I played an original sandwich with jam in the middle. I was awfully terrible during a number of occasions but Nate's voice carried my sorry A$$. However, it was super inspiring hearing a patio full of friends cheering us on and catching their dogs barking at the exact proper time frame. I totally appreciate sympathy , empathy , and I desire admirations. In fact, I crave it for sure. It is after all a small portion of why I still upload today. We all agree, blogging just isn't what it used to be a few decades ago.


Seriously, thank you so much for watching these videos of mine , thank you for all the positive feedback , and thank you for being you 

Cheers
