After owning my outstanding Garmin eTrex Vista HCx GPS for a few years now, I got it out of my car, off of my motorcycle, off of my bicycle, and back into my hands for geocaching. (It should be obvious that I have a Garmin dashboard mount and two Garmin handlebar mounts!) This first adventure was [...]

Yes, it was very cold around 6 am. I’ve been riding my relatively new BMW G650GS motorcycle to work as often as I can. I leave very early on a much longer, scenic route; much different than my car route. The motorcycle commute is intentionally about an hour and fifteen minutes [...]

It started simply enough. I have been wanting to get back into a regular band, and (only partly) to that end I have asked a few close friends, all non-musicians, if they would be interested in learning to play anything. I’m a decent drummer and a decent singer, and I know enough guitar and [...]
