Time has been scarce of late. So an afternoon ride was squeezed in amongst errands. I am still chasing the bug that turns the driving […]
Adjustable Conditions
It started out as a lovely day for a ride with relatively clear skies and a plan to meander in an easterly direction. Somehow, I […]
Interior lighting
As a people carrier. The bus came with the normal dim door-activated lights. I replaced the bulbs with brighter LED versions, but they are small […]
Firm Footing
It only took a single incident. Just off the road in what looked like firm gravel, I put the bike on the sidestand. As I […]
New Voltage

Solitude
This is why. The reconnecting with solitude, and the greater tendency to find yourself communing with nature at sunrise as the mist rises off the […]
