Its good to be home

Sorry its been so long since I've updated the blog. Once I got to Michigan (on September 1st), computers and blogs were definitely not a priority. Also, Yahoo shut down their photo hosting, so I had to move all my pictures and find a new place to store them. I let all of that be an excuse to not write. I even have a dozen or so pictures from "last" rides, lunches and other gatherings before I left Texas, but those will have to wait.

I'm currently in Chicago-land, visiting friends and past co-workers. The month and half I spent in Michigan was focused on spending time with family. Hopefully I'll make time to update with stories and pictures, but to recap, I attended my 25th Class reunion; visited the Octagon Barn Days; parked at such places as the Born To BeWild Days in Elkton; toured the new Wind Farm of thirty-two 400 foot wind generagtors (windmills for us less technical folks); and spent some time with the families of old friends. But mainly I hung out with my folks and brother and his family.

Before leaving MI, I joined Jim and Jon (two college friends) for a cycle ride around Lakes Erie and Ontario. We went up thru Canada and saw Niagara Fall as well as some other great scenery and fall colors. And then I loaded up the dog and the bikes and moved the house to the northern part of the lower pennisula. We worked on the hunting cabin for a bit and then I spent time riding the great roads, again with more scenery and fall colors.

Like I said, hopefully I'll make time to write some stories with pictures, but I wanted to catch you up, in case anyone is passing thru Chicago and wanted to get in touch.

Till the next update -
Life is Good. Send Gas Money.
