My Freedom Days

Well these are some of my pics from back when i had my scooter, Most are from when i took off to Colorado to camp and also go to a Men's conference with John Eldridge"Wild at Heart".I had a such a good time i just didn't realize that shortly after all this i would be forced to sell my bike.






When we moved up here i wasn't making enough money to justify keeping and making a bike payment-so i sold it - i miss having a bike and WILL have another one some day.










This is some of the people i road my bike with in La, the Pastor and his wife are standing right beside me, that's me to the far left-















Some of the awesome sights in Colorado


















This is an early pic it is from my first ride up to Mena ,ark-It is right before my wreck- they said that i just didn't turn going through a left turn , i went off the road going about 30 mph, the bike flipped in the air and i went up went about 15 feet and came down on my back, my pastor said that when he got to me i was the color of my jeans, and i wasn't breathing- he tilted my head back and i gasped for breath- he had thought that i was dead-they prayed and then i came to, i started asking what happened- i was diagnosed at the hospital with a concussion and a compression fracture of t12 . I recovered in a couple of weeks and then road my bike over the next three years , about 30 thousand miles which includes the above trip to Colorado









The trailer is something that i built- we had the cargo cover from a Mazda van- and i bought a little trailer and mounted it on the trailer then painted it and put stickers on the cover, it pulled very nice-







This photo is after i moved up to il, and i drove down to miss. to spent the weekend with my son ,we camped and road around,I have many fond memories of that trip, i am glad that we had that time together.

The Family


It has been said" that a picture can say a thousand words" this one comes close. I notice that dad is looking straight ahead and we are all looking at something off camera,-I guess that dad just knew that we would, someday all look differently at the same thing-i am sure that the way i remember things are different,because we all have are own opinion of the way things were.It seems that the little difference that we had are bigger now , politic, religion to who we cheer for in sports. etc.But we are all still Family-

Merry Christmas


Hope everyone in my family had a good Christmas-

Penguins Hockey















My son and I went to a hockey game last night it was a lot of fun, he is a fan of the penguins so we drove to St Louis and watched them thump the Blues, I notice that after watching the Mudbugs play the NHL players are very crisp with there passes and much better players over all.It was exciting to see the players that we see on TV ,Crosby,Marc-andre Fleury,Malkin,etc.
