The Black Hills Rally ends

I have been coming to Sturgis since 1986, and have attended numerous times. The last time I came was in 2006 and I told myself I would not return. Circumstances changed and I found myself meeting Tanya here. Every other time I arrived at the beginning of the rally. This year I came towards the end. Smart move. I met a lot of nice people on this journey, from Wes and Dave of F.I.W.S. to the Anderson’s of Wisconsin, who gave us the idea of staying an additional day. My photo of the day for day 227 is of a …

Sharing Sturgis

Last May, I came through South Dakota and Sturgis with Tanya, and all I could do was talk about how much more fun it would be if we were on a bike, riding down these open roads. Today, we lived the experience. She drove from IN to meet me, and today we went into Sturgis and cruised Main Street. We then rode to Rapid City to hit the Harley dealer as I had gotten a short that caused my tail light to not come on. I suspect it was from this huge bump I hit somewhere in CO. It was …

The Road to Psycho Donuts

Photos From Psycho Donuts [adrotate group=”6″] Campbell, CA, I learned about Psycho Donuts, in Campbell, CA via their Facebook page. A quick look at their specialty donuts convinced me that I needed to take a drive up there and sample their goods. This past weekend Tanya, Buddy and I made the journey. We had a good time and met some nice people along the way. [adrotate group=”1″]

How did I get here?

I guess it is a good thing that I take a picture a day, or I might have a real problem keeping track of where I have been and what I have done. This has been a busy month to be sure. Time to catch up with my Project 365 updates. At midnight on Day 197, Tanya and I decided to drive up to Campbell, CA to visit Psycho Donuts. Unfortunately, we did not make it due to the fact that we forgot Tanya’s laptop at home. When we walked in the door I discovered a water inlet hose to …

Mid-July Picture of the Day

The calendar tells me we have reached the middle of July. I can not believe how slow this month gets after the 4th. Oh well, here is some catch up with my picture of the day. Day 194 is me while walking Buddy. The June gloom is nothing but a memory now. Yesterday, Tanya and I decided to barbecue. She made one of her delicious Strawberry Pecan Salads. I barbecued some thighs and legs. Great leftovers. Since it looks like we are going to be stuck here for a while I decided to take Buddy to the groomers. Here he …

Back Home for July Photo of the Day

It looks like I am back home for July. Had planned on taking a ride up north but a broken lock on my bike’s tour pack eliminated that possibility as I do not feel like putting my livelihood at risk. So, here is a summary of the last few days. Friday was Day 190 of my picture a day and it found me in Los Angeles at VidCon. I am sure there are worse ways to spend a day, I just can not think of them offhand. Tanya wanted to go back to LA for another dose of VidCon, or …

Indiana Wrap Up

Today is my last day in Indiana, at least for a couple of months. So here is a wrap up of my last few pictures of the day. Day 186 shows the road I have been walking down when I need to stretch my legs. This is an easy way to lose weight, with their 95 degrees and 100% humidity. On Day 187, Tanya and I went to a new restaurant here in Valpo called the Industrial Revolution. From talking with our waitress I learned that this restaurant has been through several menu changes. We will probably check it out …

Video of 4th of July Fireworks Display

As I mentioned yesterday, I am in Indiana for the 4th of July holiday. With all apologies to Indiana residents, this place sucks in July. However, they have very liberal fireworks laws and that is enough incentive to make me consider the journey. Combine that with the fact that my girlfriend lives here, it is not too difficult a decision to make. When I fly in, the first stop is always the Phantom Fireworks in Chesterton. This video is of the final display of my 4th Annual Fireworks Show.

The 4th of July Indiana Style

Independence Day, 2010 [adrotate group=”6″] Got Web Host 4th Annual Independence Day Party Some kids never grow up, and when it comes to fireworks, I am a big kid. For the fourth consecutive year my girlfriend has thrown her Got Web Host barbecue and fireworks show, with me being responsible for the pyrotechnics. Here are a few photos from this year’s party. I would like to thank Phantom Fireworks for providing me with enough explosives to blow up a small neighborhood. In all the time I have been buying from Phantom, this is the first time I have ever gotten …

July Picture of the Day Begins

We are only at the 4th Day of July, and already this month has been action packed. Let’s play a little catch-up on my picture of the day thus far. On Day 182 my friends took me out for an early birthday dinner at my favorite spot, Gu Gu Sushi and Roll. We then headed over to Hollywood Park to see Devo in concert. Really fun show and the price is great. If you live in the LA area you might want to check out the concert action at Hollywood Park. I was up bright and early the next day …
