I've been pretty much up on nutrition and dieting for the last four decades.  Sadly, I rarely follow my own advice/knowledge.  Still, I did some amazing things in my twenties (bodybuilding), but the last decade or so.. I've been about partying hard and living large. Sooner or later something has to give; for me that was my lower back.  Bottom line as of late I've been focused on doing things right.  I still like to kick it up and devour some awesome foods.. but... I've got things back on track. Lets be straight on two facts.   Well, actually one.  CARBS.  Processed carbs are shit.   Most sugars.. are shit.   You can roll that all up into "carbs".  But in reality it's not quite that simple. Lots of good fruits and vegetables have sugars ( IE carbs).   But most people don't manage their intake correctly.  I mean.. if you drink orange juice, it aint' the same as eating an orange.; trust me.  You get SLAMMED with sugars and calories via that juice op

Riding season is here. Are you ready for some Rallies? Indian Motorcycle "specific" rallies? A decade ago, you had only one choice really. That was to head to the Branson area in MO every May.  Then, primarily the Iron Indians and a few others rolled into Indian Point for an annual get together. Nowadays, the choices are overwhelming!  Several years back, around 2012 time frame I also attended a small event up in MN.  Besides the MO option, this one popped up on my radar.  In the big picture it was pretty weak.  That first year a single day "Indian ride" for a whole 30 miles, but damned if quite a few bikes didn't roll in for it.   Still, it remained tiny in the big picture of things, though it peaked at a respectable number of Indian Motorcycles before it finally imploded as an event. Since then I've attended numerous events and planning on many more. So what else is out there?  Well, I'm glad you asked .  Let me attempt to make a non-biased overv

MORALE PATCH Last year I saw a patch similar to this and then headed off to procure it.... but...   they wanted $15 bux for it.  WTF?  And the quality didn't look that good.   Then found it elsewhere and they wanted $124 bux for it... WTF?!?!?! ..    At CVMA nationals I came across a similar one that I procured for about $9 bux; 4" high. So, I finally buckled down and designed my own; 5" x 3.7".  Had it made with a black background, silver/gray stripes, white skull.  Wanted a couple for myself and few friends.  But the cost out of the gate with minimal qty was over $13... or to be exact: Qty. 20 4.5” Custom Embroidered Patches $ 13.65 ea 100% Embroidery FREE : Artwork and revisions FREE : Setup FREE : Air Shipping 100% :Product Satisfaction Guarantee 100% : Price match Guarantee So, me being me, I bumped the qty to get the costs down in the single digit area.  Now, I'm sitting with a pile of these that need a new home... so .. what to do ..wha

Back in March of 2016, we attended the 75th anniversary Rally in Daytona.  We opted to trailer out since we had the wives with us, and I didn't want to beat myself up going down Interstate 10. The whole way there I found myself wishing I was on my bike, not in the truck.  On the way back, I was glad we were trailering as we traveled through a monsoon.   While there, we rented an AirBnB home near the channel a couple of miles from downtown main street.  To sum that trip up, we had a blast.  A couple of us said " Check mark.  Don't need to be repeat" .. but yet...  I wish I'd done it different.  Wish I'd rode it.  Wish we'd been down on main-street more.   So last year, the subject came up again and it was game on. But this time.. we were riding in. Middle of last year, I started doing a quick search on hotels and such , not sure where I wanted to stay.  On a whim, I pulled up AirBnB and lo' and behold a new rental popped up, not 2 blocks from the mai

ZRB Debut Album! Music .  We all love it. Some are fanatical.  Some can hear a song from their childhood.  From HS or College.  They can tell you whom the band is, the song, the album.  They can tell of all the concerts they attended.  Some were hardcore. Not me. I'm not that guy. I love good music, but ...  I need my playlist.  Hell, I remember several years back I bought some tickets to Keith Urban.  I picked some of the best seats in the house, for my wife's birthday gift.  Seating next to us were 1/2 dozen gals that followed him around the country and had been to god knows how many concerts. I was thinking "WTF!? Who does that?"  Now, I've been to 1/2 dozen Kenney Cheseny concerts over a period of a decade.. but.. that was it for me. And in all fairness, they were local and we normally had a full weekend party based around it. Still,  I'm not normally that 'guy'. Until now.
