Where did the summer go?
|
Where did the summer go? Labor Day weekend is upon us and many folks are asking where did the summer go? Since mid April I have ridden over 18,000 miles on my motorcycle. I know that isn't the official start of summer but this is my blog and I can start where I want. I rode the cycle across the country to visit my and in law, and grandson in California. During that trip I stopped in Arizona to visit my cousin and also attended a motorcycle rally in Tucson, where I ate too much. I rode across London Bridge, which is now in Lake Havasu, AZ. I visited Tombstone, AZ where many of the buildings of the Wyatt Earp era are still standing. I attended a motorcycle rally in Lancaster County, PA, that is hosted by our local chapter of our club, where I ate too much. We provide guided tours of the area and I planned and led 3 rides, one each day. The planning takes many days of riding around and trying out different routes and finding rest stops and restaurants. I would estimate about 10 days of riding to plan the rides. I planned and led 4 after breakfast rides for our club, that took about 8 days to map out. I participated in about 8 rides led by other members of our club. . I went to at least 11 club breakfasts, I attended 6 ice cream socials and 3 club dinners, 2 of which I planned. I planned and led a 3 day trip to Wellsboro, PA, with 27 other bikers. Planning this took 3 trips up to Wellsboro. I attended a 3 day rally in Titusville Pa, where I ate too much. I visited 10 of 17 old fashioned diners for a contest. I'll get the other 7 but not before Labor Day. My motorcycle and I rode across the Susquehanna river on the only wooden paddle wheel ferry still operating in the U.S.A. We do it a least once each summer. I rode to Michigan for a family visit. We went on a beautiful sunset cruise on Lake Michigan. I had family from Michigan visit me twice. I visited my granddaughters - who live about 60 miles from here - almost once a week. We always have fun. I spent time with my and in law while I was there, but it was mostly about the girls. I spent 3 days at a family reunion when my and his family flew in from California. I attended two street fairs where I ate too much. I attended one minor league baseball game. I have spent many hours chatting and camming with the fair ladies here on HotMatch.com and have made some good friends. I had two wonderful evenings with one of them recently. Sometimes the things we didn't do stand out as well. I didn't have to visit any friends or relatives in the hospital. I didn't have to attend a funeral for a loved one or a friend. No one asked me to lend them money. So, that's where my summer went, where did yours go? Have a happy and safe Labor Day Weekend. Please don't drink and drive.  |
