    image.jpg image.jpg I rode to my mothers house in R.I. On the way down traffis was lite to medium. When i got there I stacked wood all day then rode 3 1/2 hours home. I-290,I-495 and spaulding turnpike were jacked. I-290 was at least moving but cars were bumper to bumper. Excitment? Flirt with death....Run 70+ mph like that. I-495 was parking lot from when i got on to when i got off...construction and a 3-4 car pile up. 3 lane parking lot. My bike is air-cooled and it was 90 degrees out so i ran the break down lane. I don't give a shit. Spaulding turnpike was bumper to bumper stop and go. i was happy to finally get on I-89. 365 miles in one day and about 3 cords of wood stacked!

    The welcome to new hampshire liqour store has added 6-8 rows of gas pumps and other curio shops now. Great addition. Wonder What took them so long.

    No she oders it. She thinks her sons are lazy because we don't generate that from her 38 acres.

    My mother is in her late 70's and heats the house with 3 wood stoves. One in the basement,one in the middle of the house and one at the end of the house. Thats how we grew up and was many a cold ass night sleep and getting up for school was interesting too,lol.

    While i was parked there a prospect from the massachusetts red devils mc pulled up a couple spots from me. Big huge muscle bound dude riding a ape hangered RG. He was a sociable sort and we chatted about 96" versus 103". I left there wondering why would a midle aged 30 somthing man willingly put himself in that situation? I can tell you from experience it sucked at 23-24 years old and the older you get the more it has to suck.
