I'm tired. After driving, slowly for a long time, I had to clean out the bed of the truck before it rained. A shower later, here I am sitting in my home store in Fountain Hills, AZ. Feels good to be back. Got a little sleep, but looking forward to a long nap or sleeping good tonight. I love you bro and miss you, but I can always visit. I wouldn't want to do the fourth anywhere else. Will up date with pics whenever I get the chance. Everyone else is on the way. Thanks to everyone who helped me along the way. Big thanks to my sponsers, Eva and Roger, Mark and Mona and Mckay.

I have some great images, but I am having some problems uploading them and I really want to get back out on the road. Sufice to say getting lost near Austin is awesome. Like driving back into my home town. I spent more time than I should in some small towns just checking them out. At the bottom of this hill in this small town at 3am is a steel bridge. I blocked it with my truck, shut the lights off and took some pics with ambient light. You can't do that everyday.

Should we all be so lucky. A good friend came by to visit and although I'm not actually in any of these pics, I was behind the lens for all of them. The shot of his bike is a file photo from my phone I took a while ago. I live my life, but when I'm not I sub-contract to others vicariously and Dirty did it. He rode from AZ to Florida for bike week and to visit making the whole trip as slow and eventful as possible. When he was passing through, the weather was good. Meaning unbearably hot, but not raining. We kicked it pool side standing on chairs in the deep end to avoid direct sunlight and I'm not to sure glass bottles are allowed. I really enjoyed the visit, we went to Mo's for some traditional bbq, which I thought was great. I know there are more bbq places in Houston than Mexican restaurants in Phoenix, this one was just the best, closest one. Properly stuffed to sickly levels and a quick trip by the house to ignite some otherwise illegal fireworks and my part in this ride was over. We were all really tired, but I can imagine that the guys on bikes where beat from riding in the heat from Bourbon Street the night before. Like I said I live my life...vicariously. Hence the blog.
I didn't post anything from the fourth of July, because it's all on Facebook, so here is one of the events that has been since, there have been a few. This is an accidental day of and I happened to accompany Mcbro to a... well in this neighborhood, it's just another day, I would call it a party. They had two tables of food folding in half from weight. Seriously I didn't even see the table under all the food in the house, that was the snack table. Hush Puppies, Shrimp (even the ones wrapped with bacon), fried gator and cod etc. My favorite was the Margarita machine, my glass was small so I didn't stray far for the first part of the party. Everyone traveled by golf cart or bicycle and if they happened to be in a car driving by they still stopped to hug some people and maybe sit for a few. Location, Location, Location right on the beach, of course the water is toxic in this area, but it still looked pretty. We had a ball sitting on coolers or hanging on the patio and just enjoying each others good company. I would not call this doing nothing, I think it's what everyone should be doing when they aren't doing something else. Play Hard. I did miss an impromptu car show to attend, so worth it.
