I successfully completed the Motorcycle Safety Foundations Beginner’s Riders course and got my endorsement on my license. You can read about that here. Call me brave, call me stupid, mostly call me ignorant. McGyver was still living in Germany, I had bought and moved into our new house in Shiloh, Illinois. Most of the household […]

Mother Goose
McGyver was driving down the river road this morning when he spotted some geese and their goslings. He called me immediately and said “I don’t if you have a Mother’s Day post planned but there are some adorable yellow fluffy goslings you might want to photograph”.

Motorcycle Monday: Feasting on Asphalt and Loose Meat Sandwiches
It started to warm up here, the snow melting away, the roads clearing up, my hopes of riding soon increasing. Then the temps dropped and we got another dusting of snow. It makes it real tough to do a motorcycle bit sometimes. Since riding and recipes is what I do, I thought I’d feature a […]
