for those of you out there getting to repot your christmas plants, beware of some of the consequences. the plant in the center of the picture shows that the leaves had fallen off of the lowere part of the stem and grew anew at the top. in the other picture the large plant was really big but again was bare except at the top, so i cut it way back and now it's growing at the bottom. the tiny plant shows that even when mishandled and totured, they can come back, given sunlight and water.

anne is making sure the chrome is sparkeling. for me i like to ride better than clean.


when you own motorcycles you have to wash them.

a couple of weeks ago i went ot leesburg, fla, for a quite motorcycle rally. as it turns out, there were many, many bike and huge crowds of people. the ride through central was tricky and some nice riding, some scary, with very sharp curves and danger of deer and bears. night riding was especially challanging.


this blue pipe is going to be sent to florida as humanitarian aid for a wounded playground toy.
