Yeah, it’s been a whirlwind of the last week. I’m back in Phoenix and working on the last of the Journey Report from my return on the F-A-R Journey and trying to catch back up to issues here. Next out of town jaunt is next weekend to Palm Springs and San Diego (via Palomar Mtn) w/a few close friends. 
Next up, I’m going to go see a supposedly spectacular exhibit of dead bodies at the Arizona Science Center - - talk about doing something unique…geez, how cool is that?!

This time next week, I should be in Phoenix’s 70 degree weather….. until then, don’t tell me about it!
Well, the “R” part of my F-A-R Journey has been challenged by Mother Nature. I rode over 25,000 miles on my V-Strom before it ever saw a single drop of rain (no kidding) and I didn’t even make 3 dry days straight w/the FJR. Due to the inclement weather (mainly ice) it doesn’t look like I’ll be heading back to the left coast until early next week though I am riding down to Cullman, AL on Friday (hopefully). Yesterday I met my good friend (and webmaster extraordinare) Scott to go for a ride. Scott hates rain. He says the water from his daily shower is all the water he’d needs in his life. I’ve concluded whenever Scott and I go ride (more…)
