Full flounder ahead!

That’s welcome news Steve. I really like the blog/vlog mix.

For now I will just keep things as they are. How much content I develop, well, that’s still an unknown.

Like you, I’ve found blogging an excellent way to revisit parts of my past. And now with 18 years of posts I’m loathe to just let it evaporate. Generally I don’t have any issues underwriting the expenses for these benefits. But as my activity wanes in creating new content I begin to wonder.

Why? I’m not sure. The costs, while real, are insignificant in the grand scheme of things. Less than a few expensive dinners for Kim and I. So even referencing costs is a red herring. The real question is whether I want to keep blogging. Somewhere along the line it ceased being as important as it once was.

For now I’ll renew the hosting for another year and revisit again in the future.

I hope things are going well for you.

I kept my blog on Google’s Blogger where it remains free, other than the very minor cost of the domain name.

I suspect a day will come when Google will seek to monetize Blogger. When that day comes I will need to make a decision.

I love blogging because it’s a journal and I can go back and visit the past me. I never thought I’d be able to experience that.

So for now my blog stays put.

If you stop the blog, we still have youtube if that’s not too much trouble. Whatever you decide, you have left a positive impact on a lot of people and we appreciate it more than we can say. Thanks to your spouse ( and doggies), for sharing.

Back surgery has a way of changing things. I suppose something will cause all of us to stop riding at some point.

Thank you for commenting about the blog and posts. I’ve been pondering whether the time has come to shut down the blog. There are a lot of hard costs involved in keeping it going and I derive no income from it. That was never an issue when I started it but over the years the size and scope has changed requiring more inputs beyond the photography and writing.

Knowing you get some vicarious enjoyment from the things I post is good to know.

Thank your for your kind words. I appreciate them. Wandering of a Vespa is a little cosmic gift.

There is definitely a relentless tug coming from the garage. I was out on the Kawasaki this afternoon. It’s after midnight now and part of me wants to take the Vespa for a ride. The mature adult in me says to go to bed!
