Warm As Hell October Weekend

This weekend was pretty nice up here in Mudville. Was sick as a dog Friday and Saturday, but felt better Sunday. Still did my 100 daily miles for the Murder Miglia. Friday's were the hardest.

RIP Steve Jobs

I have never owned an apple product nor do I understand the apple cult appeal. The dude stuck true to his vision and still had his BMW motorcycle. That I can understand.

dark days

My world is totally upside-down right now. Instant single dad, gotta move to my kid's town and find a 9-5 job. My poor son is holding it together pretty well. We have been busy with activities to keep our minds off of it.











Our Murder Miglia contest is on and I started my 1000 today. I rode with anger and hostility. I feel a little better now. Speed is good.



Met some Canadian Adventurers at the gas station, they were looking for the localKTM dealer. I almost forgot Manchester Honda sells them.

Rest in Peace

My son's mother died yesterday. Destroyed by cancer in 6 months. It breaks my heart to know he is only 7 and will never get to see her again. She was a wonderful mother and a kind soul.
We will miss you Stephanie.
Love,
Max and Ray
