The Snow Is GONE...I'm riding again

What a great day it was today.
Yes, I went riding. I was gonna meet some friends for breakfast this morning, but Mom seemed so depressed, I thought to ask her our for breakfast. We then went exploring in her car...I found a cool new road,right here in my home town. Less than a mile from my house, it went on for about 10 miles...twist's and rises...and lots of farm land. Mom perked up.

I brought her home, and pulled my bike out. Put on my leathers, my scarves, sunglasses, light gloves...and went for a ride. I checked my gas tank, half full...odd...the odometer says 36 miles. Half a tank should read around 50 miles or a bit more...mmmm ah well...get gas later.

I'm in the saddle and I stop at Sycamore Shoals for the encampment going on there. That encampment reflects the 1700's.









I left the Fort and headed North. I found SR 400 and headed South for a time. As I twist and turn on this road, I decide to chase a small side road called Piney Flats Road. I've never been on this road, but it is a fine road. I twisted and turned through some wonderful little hamlets and loads of farm land. I was on the Quilt Trail for NE TN. I found a couple of great barns with quilt designs on them...





Stopping to photograph them, I also discover this grist mill farmstead. Got some decent pictures...







Left the Mill and started to head west on another undiscovered road. I've covered thirty miles now...and forgot to get gas. I realize from the miss I now feel in the engine, I'm running out of gas. I get myself turned around so I can coast downhill toward some buildings off to the North. I got a good enough run before the gas gave out, to get me down to this place. It was some long forgotten "salvage" yard. I called my brother, he came to my rescue with a gallon of gas. I passed the time by taking pictures of the salvage yard! (My reserve don't work, it hasn't worked since 2005.)





Mark came with the gallon of gas and I'm ready to go once more. It's already time to go home. I continue to head North toward home. Stopping at Green Hill Cemetary to photograph the headstones there. Most have been there since the Civil War.







I'm done...and going home...thanks for coming...

You be the judge.

Great explanation of what an "Economic Stimulus" payment is and how it works.

Sometime this year, we taxpayers will again receive another 'Economic Stimulus' payment. This is indeed a very exciting program, and I'll explain it by Using a Q & A format: Q. What is an 'Economic Stimulus' payment ? A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers. Q.. Where will the government get this money ? A. From taxpayers. Q.. So the government is giving me back my own money ? A. Only a smidgen of it. Q. What is the purpose of this payment ? A. The plan is for you to use the money to purchase a High-definition TV set, thus stimulating the economy. Q.. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China ? A. Shut up. Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the U.S. Economy by Spending your stimulus check wisely: * If you spend the stimulus money at Wal-Mart, the money will Go to China or Sri Lanka . * If you spend it on gasoline, your money will go to the Arabs. * If you purchase a computer, it will go to India , Taiwan or China. * If you purchase fruit and vegetables, it will go to Mexico , Honduras and Guatemala. * If you buy an efficient car, it will go to Japan or Korea . * If you purchase useless stuff, it will go to Taiwan. * If you pay your credit cards off, or buy stock, it will go To management bonuses and they will hide it offshore. Instead, keep the money in America by: 1) Spending it at yard sales, or 2) Going to ball games, or 3) Spending it on prostitutes, or 4) Beer or 5) Tattoos. (These are the only American businesses still operating in the U.S. ) Conclusion: Go to a ball game with a tattooed prostitute that you met at a yard Sale and drink beer all day ! No need to thank me, I'm just glad I could be of help.

Don't forget Valentine's day is tomorrow!

Make sure you get your sweetie a card or sumpthin, or Cupid will find you and kick Yer Ass!

Have a good one!

SAXON MOTORCYCLES

I've read Saxon Motorcycles got some big young guy to ride one of their bikes around some planned portion of the country. I hear they filmed it...and showed it on one of the cable channels.

I'm wondering, why they don't call me, ask little ole me (5'4") to ride their bike around the country shooting photos and meeting great people who love to ride. I would be a great spokes-person for Saxon...showing how short people, females and the over 50 crowd could easily ride their bikes on long distance rides...Man...I REALLY REALLY LIKE THE SAXON.





I really like Saxon Motorcycles. Of all production bikes...these bikes are my favorite!

Crummy weather causes me to do things...

Things like scour the internet to help satisfy my craving for adventure. Things like this help. WOW...the last part...ya gotta watch what these people do! My heart would be in my mouth!

Bathrooms

Not motorcycle related, but had to share.....

Remember that old post I did with the really cool ceiling mural in a smokers lounge and also the mural on the bathroom floor that made you look like you were floating in the sky? And Oh yeah, there was also that one way glass bathroom in that post too.

Click Here for a link to that old post to refresh your memory.

I don't know what it is about bathrooms and me, but for some reason, I find, or get sent cool bathroom stuff that I just gotta share.

Scroll down for a potty you'd never forget.
