Today, Friday, December 17, finds me calm and at peace in my “happy place” — my favorite island in the Caribbean.
My flight to San Juan was uneventful, though full. I was upgraded to first class, which makes it more comfortable as well as having more space between passengers. For Covid protocols, the more spread out the better.
I arrived on Wednesday, and was met…

This word in Spanish means “preparations.” I have been preparing, packing, and getting ready to fly to my favorite island in the Caribbean to spend a whole month of time.
Why?

Now that I have well-fitting bars on my new Harley and the weather is appropriately cool but not frigidly cold, today (Friday 10 Dec), I had to run errands, so I thought, “take the Harley!”
It has been way too long since I rode my Harley. Today, however, was…

After a brutally hot and sweaty summer which extended into the first weeks of November, it has finally consistently become “leather weather.”

Since mid-November, I have…

On Wednesday, November 3, My oldest brother and I went on a photo journey together to Blackwater National Wildlife Reserve in Cambridge, Maryland. This date and location was significant because…

I realized it has been a long time since I updated this blog. Some guys have been checking on my via recon, which I seldom use, or email which I prefer.
While I am still in grief over the death of my husband, the pain is not as acute. I miss him every day and will for the rest of my life.
He wanted me to regain my life momentum, or sense of purpose if you will. He would not want me to mope around and be sad all the time.
And now that it is “leather weather,” I have been wearing boots and leather again (when not on official assignment in my medic uniform). Yay… old me (somewhat) is back.

During my recent “Crazy-Awesome Motorcycle Adventure II,” our ride route included an iconic scenic road, Utah-12. It is 123 miles from its origin at Torrey, Utah, to Panguich.
When we rode Harleys on this road four years ago during “CAMA-I,” it was raining. I had a death-grip on the bars of my bike.
My riding partner “S” had to…

As I mentioned in a post just yesterday, Google cannot “verify me” and thus I am unable to upload videos on my old “Booted Harleydude” YouTube channel.
Through simple searching, I found an alternative to YouTube to post more videos of my motorcycle adventure. I am now using “DailyMotion.”
To see my new videos, …

I rarely use profanity, but this time it’s deserved. Google owns YouTube. Since they took it over, my ability to work with my “Booted Harleydude” channel has been difficult.
However, as of Monday September 27, it has been impossible to…
