Will be heading off to Long Island in about 7 hours.. Heading to Jones Beach State Park, to walk along the beach, and let the 11 year old play a bit.. Then off to Coney Island to ride some rides and see the freak show... Then its off to Morristown NJ.. Anyone in those areas? We wont have long, but if your scooting by, say hi! I will wear the Beating michigan Tshirt as seen below.. Will spend the early part of the day at Jones Beach, leaving there to get to Coney Island by early-mid evening.. Morristown on Saturday, picking up 2 cats saturday evening, and heading home to be home in time to rest up on Sunday.. Unfortunately not scooting my way there, But will be in a green 2002 Kia Optima with vanity plates that say GOOFOFF..

If your in those areas, would love to see your scoot!

BTW, when we travel, we travel.. Don't stay stationary long.. Last summer we drove 6976 miles round trip from Ohio to Oregon, down through northern Cali to San Fran, stopped at Raider's stadium to pay homage, came across through Yosemite, on over to the Grand Canyon, then over to 4 corners in NM and up to Mesa Verde CO, then through Kansas and home.. Have done 2 trips simliar but only about 4700 miles each time, and did 2 east coast trips, that were about half that.. We love it.. It's how I relax, you know, with my job being behind the wheel of a service van driving around all day, I need to get away from it, and umm drive.. hehehe..

gotta ask.... what's the t-shirt mean??

It's a College Football "talking Smack" shirt... Ohio State University and Michigan University have one of, if not the, Most intense Rivaly in all of sports.. It's insane... So, this is saying it's so easy to beat Michigan, even a caveman can do it, like the geico commericals. It's wrong... I know... But Oh so funny..

I have pics from the 4700 mile trip out west, where we camped overnight in Yellowstone, and I accidently ended up in the middle of a herd of buffalo.. Scary thing to have happen.. THey are HUGE! One of them bumped into our tent while we were sleeping too.. woke me up in a hurry..

btw, we are leaving now.. Ended up having to do a few things, and got a later start than I wanted..

Tell your friend I said Congrats! To her and to her grandson!! THat's AWESOME! Here's hoping he has a long and prosperous career.. As for the trip, well, not so good.. GOt to New York, and it was MISERABLE! Storming something terrible.. Rumors of a Tornado... not a good thing if your trying to hot the beach and Coney Island... And not good for scoots either... SO, back to Jersey we went.. Interesting place Morristown.. Found JR Cigar, Love their catalogs... So, stopped in for some Macanudos.. Overall it wasn't a bad trip.. stopped in a music store, but didn't buy... SHould have.. went back when I realized it, they were closed...sigh... oh well... SO, live to shop another day... They had some great deals on some nice guitars... I need more guitars.. I only have 15 now..

Yes you do! I have G.A.S. (Guitar Acquisition Syndrome).. I also now have S.A.R.S.(Scoot Acquisition and Repair Syndrome)

What a mess... I like to buy em and work on em... Found a Motorcycle for $500 down the way from me, but my wife wont let me buy it, because it needs some work.. A tensioner and probably a little tlc.. sigh...
