I had the opportunity to go for a little cruise on my motorcycle. I can use the phrase “my motorcycle” instead of “one of my motorcycles” because, for the first time since 1996, I only have one<\/em>. Well, I put it to good use tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

One of the first things I did after cruising through the capitol grounds was to head up to Chief Looking’s Village. It was a great time to look out over the river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What a beautiful sky! And everything’s green, since we have been getting rain all year instead of having nice drone and mountain bike weather…oops, was that out loud?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ya won’t be able to see this for much longer! A couple years and it’ll be all modernized and the “FLECKY ’93” will have to be painted on the new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I watched the riverboat go by and pull a wild, drifting u-turn on the river. It was a spectacular maneuver, pretty aggro if I may say so. Then they headed back up the river to port. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I spotted this beauty: a Delorean! It even has the correct license plate: OUTATIM. Meaning they have no more Tim. No, wait – TIME! It got me in the mood for Back to the Future, and I have that movie playing on my server now as I type this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year reminds me of 1993: rainy and dreary until mid-June or so, then a spectacular summer after that. Hopefully this becomes a fantastic summer as well! I bought a new drone and a new mountain bike, and haven’t had many opportunities to use either. Here’s to a fantastic summer – after the past few, we’ve earned it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, I have a playlist for occasions like this. Here’s a link to a Spotify version.<\/a> It’s missing some songs by local talent such as Luke Graner and Hectic Redd, and one jam by Royal Crescent Mob, but it does have a couple of Joel Porter songs, so we’re represented. Check it out on a sunny afternoon! I hope you like it. And I hope we all have some great sunny afternoons and evenings this summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
