OCTOBER!

Well, another summer has gone, hard to believe.
A lot has happened this summer, mostly work, but there have been a few personal developments worth mentioning. My partner and I moved in together. It's nice to come home after a long day and have someone there. I have rekindled an old friendship with someone I thought I lost. old friendships are kinda like old shoes, so comfortable and welcoming. Nice to have you back E. B.
I am working on my bucket list, and doing well I may say. My book is coming along, I guess I'm some where around the half way mark. But I have an editor now, and things are looking up.
The coffee shop I was interested in closed. Went belly up...
I have found a couple more that has drawn my interest. Just taking it slow, one step at a time.
Waiting for some more facts and numbers, then I'll go take a look at them. See what I like about them.
That's about all for now.

Happy Halloween!

This photo taken the day before one of my motorcycle tours.

We went to the NickleBack concert

We went to Albany, last week to see Nickelback.
Buckcherry and three Days Grace played also.
It was a pretty good show!
Loud, and a bit long, but I enjoyed myself.
I can now cross that off my bucket list, I may never have to go to a rock concert again!

More Book information

Well the book is coming along fine, a little slow but it's coming along.
I wish I had more time to work on it, but with work and being short staffed,  time is something I don't have a lot of.  I have an editor, and a very close friend, who has been a great advisor, giving me the encouragement I need, to keep going. As I said, it's a slow process but I am pleased with the results so far!

As for the coffee shop, well the information is flowing back and forth, and things are moving ahead, this is also a slow process, but in the end, I'm sure it will be worth the efforts.

Fall is arriving here in the Northeast, slowly the trees are giving up their leafs and showing some muted colors, the middle of next month should be promising for the leaf peepers. We are expecting some serious colors this year.

I had a touch of the flu this past week, but luckily it didn't hang around too long. I feel much better now.

Well that's all for now.

More as it happens

This is some rock art I photographed while out west.

This was taken just outside of Moab Utah

Book

I have this bucket list I'm working on. One of the things on my list is to write a book. A good Book!
I have been working on it for sometime now, and it's coming along nicely. In fact I have an editor now!
It's not compete yet, but it's getting there.
Another item on my bucket list: to own a coffee shop.
I'm working on the coffee shop also. I'll give more information on that as I get it.

Summer is over now, and the weather has begun to change, the mornings are getting a little cooler and days shorter. Soon I'll be skiing and snowshoeing!

Hiking

My partner and I have have been working on the Northville - Lake Placid hiking trail, since we both work during the week, we can only head out weekends. we did another section last weekend. we did the LONG LAKE section this past weekend. It was pretty awesome! The terrain was pretty easy, and the views spectacular. The swimming was good too. I'm off to work, will add more later...
Didn't bring camera on the trail, so this is the only Photo I have. 

Added some more artwork

Added afew more drawings today. Drop me a not and let me know what you think. Thanks!
