All work and too much play.....

....really kicks my ass! Long gone are those days of resiliency when I could keep going for days on end. Long gone are the days of "The 86" for those of you that were fortunate enough to be part of that time frame. The working long hours and playing into the late night and thinking you will work like normal the next day are quickly fading. Fridays become the hardest day of the week for me when 'Dart Night' is Thursday. I only hope for a 'weather day', but never seem to get one. It ends up being the busiest day of the whole week. Some day I will realize that I am not 22 any more and get with the program..............................Nah, what fun would that be!

Anyway, not alot going on lately. The weather is warming, the time change has made the daylight hang around and I believe it won't be long until the Harley rumbles back out onto the road. I can hardly wait. Bapple & I talk here and there about packing it up in a couple more years once I achieve Journeyman ranks and 'journeying' somewhere we can ride our bike year round. I have been a New Englander all my life. Hell, I was born as far north as you can get in the lower 48 states, which by the way makes EVERYONE a flat-lander to me! So, with each winter, I am growing tired of the extreme cold and the snow, which by the way made a triumphant return with record setting snowfall this year. The type of year that really make me happy I live somewhere that NEVER gets plowed out! So, I hope to find a warm place, with no helmet laws and in need of a lineman. What do you think?

On another note, I have been fortunate enough to reconnect with old friends that I have not really seen in years. Now, they don't live far away, and never have, but peoples lives change as they get older and different circumstances arise and next thing you know, you fall out of touch. So, I have been privileged to be able to get together with some of the old Sunapee crew a few times over the past month and it has been great. The old proverbial 'walk down memory lane'. You learn as people grow, they change, but the core of that personality is still there and it is fun to reconnect. Thanks to Crispy & Corey and my wife for being persistent enough to get me off my ass and out to socialize... even if it is until the wee hours.



Until the next time.......
