Aside from armored pants, I have all the gear on. Long pants always though I realize they offer little protection from sliding on pavement. But a little layer before flesh. Once the temperature drops into the 70s I start wearing the armored pants again. They’re mesh and vented. And once the temperature drops below 40F the heavier armored pants appear…

Sons of Mary Kay. I wonder what their cut looks like???

I like to think of the tail-end of Summer as slipping into a different kind of “sweet spot”, where, among other things, doing the whole ATGATT thing is just a bit less of a chore…although after investing in a decent mesh jacket and well-vented but decently armored gloves, I can’t gripe too much, ‘specially when I’m moving.

Sons of Anarchy? I think our club’s name cribbed a bit from that. But I’m also thinking about a briefly popular Internet meme with a guy with regulation-hipster beard and shades astride a pink Yamaha Vino with the title “Sons of Mary Kay.” Maybe we’re somewhere along that spectrum. 😉

Soon, soon the heat and humidity will be a memory again and we can begin complaining about the cold.

So you’re in a scooter club now? Is that anything like the Sons of Anarchy???

I’m hoping to do a little more riding soon. Seems like I rode more when I was working that now that I’m retired. What’s that about?

I suppose it explains a lot of resistance that comes with age.

My tinnitus has been stable for years. Hopefully it will stay that way. Or they’ll figure out how to fix it. I’m some ways off needing hearing aids. I think. Kim might disagree…

I’ve sold a dozen prints so far — all 16x20s. The big ones were really just a device to break up the monotony of a single size. Works pretty well. Not sure what I’ll do with those big prints when the show is done.

Looking forward to some fine fall rides!

I need to shoot more on sunny days. Not sure why but I struggle to bring the camera out when the sun is shining.

I wouldn’t mind a few 40F nights. Don’t remember what sleeping in cold air feels like…

I’m with you. Ready for cooler days.

Drop me a note when you know you’ll be in town. The gallery is only open Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. If you’re here on other days I can open it up for you.

So you might be moving up this way? Nice place to retire.

Hope to see you at the Moto Hang.

My pleasure Coop. Hope all is well with you and yours.

Thank you.
