...Look how they shine for you, And everything you do, Yeah, they were all yellow. -Coldplay
It was a pretty chilly day out today. Being that the leaves out here on the Island seem to be at their peak color, I just had to get out and be amongst them. Everything seemed so very yellow. It was just beautiful.
I don't know where the summer went. I'm not really looking forward to the gray of winter settling in. I can hardly believe that its Thanksgiving week now. Time marches on. I have a lot to be thankful for and I'm looking forward to spending that day with my family.
Before you know it, these grasses will be green again and I'll be complaining that its too hot. It's always somethin', isn't it?

That's what friends are for

My long standing fascination with the BMW 1150/12GSs is no secret to anyone who knows me. Outside of the sheer expense of obtaining one of the new big GSs, I also have a well documented fear of not being able to work with the big, tall, behemoth if I were to get it into a position that isn't "perfect". So I carry on with my someday pipedream and enjoy the fantasy of being able to handle the big GS on one foot, in loose gravel, facing downhill on a slope in the rain.
Then my dear friend whose name i will change to... um, let's see.. Craig... comes along with this: "This might be right up your alley...", "F800GS... Just your size.."
Do I need this shit from you, Craig? Do i need to know that the big lug of my misty eyed fantasy has a little brother that is just my size? And i know, i just KNOW it is dying to go home with me. I thought you were my friend but what do you do? You fill my obsessive mind with possibility. Now for the last few days I have been haunted by "maybe" and "I think there is room in the garage."
I'm in hell. I need to sell a kidney.

the heart is. That's pretty much what I've been up to for the last month or so. I've been so wrapped up in the daily goings-on of my family, working on our little house and my new job, I haven't really even kicked around the idea of going out for a ride, really. That being said, everything has just been really good. Consistantly good-er than i can remember everything being in quite some time. I'm really greatful.
I did pop out this evening to grab a cup of cawfee and meet up with some of the guys. It felt like I haven't seen anyone in ages and was as always, good to see everyone after a long spell away. I guess you can always come home.
