Headed to San Antonio, Texas for a couple of days. Riding the Harley of course. I just couldn’t take it anymore. I had to get out of town and warm up a bit. I picked San Antonio for a handful of reasons, the primary one being that it’s warm down there and I could use some warm right now. I …
The Long Ride North
LRN Poster for our motorcycle ride to Alaska. Click the above link to view Today I launch the promotional project for our motorcycle adventure to Alaska, The Long Ride North.

Red Fish Lake
If you look back a couple of posts you’ll find where I went with my wife and another couple on an absolutely wonderful motorcycle ride up into the Sawtooth Recreational Area in Idaho this summer. As is always the case I’m on the lookout for material that will make a nice painting. Such was the case when we ventured down …
An Old Smoking Stand
Been looking for an old smoking stand like I remember my grandpa had for his cigars back in the day. The one he actually had was similar to this one but the ash tray part had a glass tray with a rubber Firestone tire around it…or it may have been a Goodyear. Don’t remember which exactly. For some reason I …

Then it dawned on me…Sturgis. This time of year motorcyclists of all kinds head to Sturgis, SD for the biggest motorcycle rally on earth. …
I Could Do That!!!
Had to run up to Grand Junction on Saturday to the Harley dealer and get a few things. I pulled up and parked next to another bike and as my wife Kathy got off of the back of our bike I looked over at the neighboring motorcycle and the guy who was rummaging through some stuff in a pack on …
Catching up
It’s hard to know where to start, it’s been so long since I posted anything. I see that I left you good folks in Battlemountain, NV on my way to Petaluma, CA for a screen printing and gilding workshop I attended at Letterhead Sign Supply. In short I will say that it was a great class. Ron and Kristi were …
The Long Ride North
http://youtu.be/4xBXwVO4EkA Here’s a link to a video of our first planning session for the Long Ride North. In June of 2014 I will turn 66 years old. At that time, my wife and I, and others, will leave on our Harleys and ride in a northerly direction for 15 days and then turn around and head back home. We’ll be …
Standing on a Corner
Yup. So there I was, last Saturday, standing on that famous corner in Winslow, AZ. You know the one. Come on. Think. “Well, I’m a standing on a corner, in Winslow, Arizona, and such a fine sight to see. It’s a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford slowin’ down to take a look at me”. It’s from the song …
