Beware the "Tides" of March.....

Hi Everybody..If you recall, a few weeks back my dryer went on the fritz, since shortly after that I was gone for 10 days, and this week I was very busy at work, I haven't had the time to get it fixed..But with Spring just around the corner, I was able to upgrade my present situation from the basement to the back yard..

.

Since St. Patty's day is tomorrow, today I am preparing a Corned Beef Extravaganza, I think that will make a great Monday post...see ya soon!!

.

Peace...!!!

Hi everybody, this brings to a close the saga of G-Man's Floridian Escapade!

Thanks for being so patient, This was a place Called the Boston Lobster Feast.. It was absolute heaven, Every time we approached the raw bar, this guy would come up to us... Tong and lobster in hand, and practically force those wonderful red steamed morcels of succulence down our throats..He did that 4 times with me. The 3rd pic down with me dunking a whole tail in the melted butter like a French Fry.....Priceless!!!!!

Hahahahaha.....

Have a great week-end everyone, and if you or any of your friends participated in this weeks Flash 55, please tell me about it, I promise I'll read and reply ..Thanks..G

Space Center HNT.....

Happy HNT everybody...

The second pic is the actual control room to the very first Apollo Mission..

The third is of the Discovery Space Shuttle

The fourth is the booster that launches the shuttle, there is more explosive power in that booster than the Hiroshima Atom bomb!!!

The last pic is my riding buddy Dave, he is standing in front of an actual Mercury Mission capsule..Imagine riding up in space in that tin can??..Tell me about bravery!!!!

One More installment....

Peace..!!

Tourism 101.......

Hi everybody, I have been to Florida probably 35 times in my life, and I have never been on an airboat. I thought it was just about time I finally did..

As you can see we are on beautiful Cypress Lake, the land surrounding this body of water, just South of Kissimmee, is all a protected wet-lands. Because of that, there are no homes on the lake and it looks very desolate. The airplane engine was so loud that you had to wear protective ear gear.

The tree in the 3rd pic is a 400 year old Cypress Tree, the 4th pic is a whole bunch of baby gators, possibly as many as 16. But I apologize for the piss poor quality of my camera phone, it's all I had. You have to look closer like a 'Where's Waldo' thing...sorry.

The last pic is a little easier to make out the big 10 footer in the middle of the shot..

All in all it was very enjoyable, I highly recommend it.

Bear with me, just 2 more installments...

Peace...!

The 3 B's of Bike Week.......

Day Two of the Daytona Bike Week Funfest, Brings us to the inevitable...

Bikes...Booze....Babes

The first picture is a motorcycle known as a "Boss Hoss", notice that it has a V-8 engine under the seat. Very nice bike, only one thing wrong with it...

It ain't a Harley!!

.

The dark pic is a friendly neighborhood tavern that offered Dollar Drafts, and Dollar Dogs.

The seats on the porch were a welcome relief from all the commotions...

.

The remaining three pics are just some of the beautiful scenery available during Bike Week!

The last chick was kind of annoying, she was a Copenhagen Chick trying to get you into the pavillion to get some free samples of some 'chew'... Of course I went in...Then she had a cow about me taking her picture outside, she said pictures only INSIDE,...You know what I said?

CLICK!!!

.

....Stay Tuned!!!!

.

Peace...!!!

Sick of Winter.........

Hi everybody, It's great to be back in the frozen tundra once again. All that sun and warm ocean breazes can drive you bonkers.. I'm very Non-Plussed tonight, I have a bevy of pics I was hoping to show you this evening, but Blogger is jacking with me, and will only let me post one pic at a time..This is taking all the fun out of being back...

.

Anyway, one of the many things I love about the South is it's cuisine. To me, you really know that ya'll are in the South when you see 'Bald peanuts' everywhere.

We also stopped on the way down to visit the retired brother of one of my riding buddies.

This guy can flat-out BB-Que!!!

Those ribs in the pic may seem a bit burnt to you, but trust me, after a 12 hr indirect slow cook in a mix of oak and pecan wood, they pulled right apart with ease.

After unloading the bikes, we made a quick ride to Daytona Beach to check out the action...

Those pics will be posted tomorrow...

I really missed everybody this past week, although I will admit that a break from everything was well needed..

Susie-Cue, thanks for pulling double duty for me, I am much obliged.....

.

Theres NO place like Home.......

Peace...!
