Dedicated to the memory of our Mentor, Uncle B.

Thank you to all that submitted entries this past week. I have found reading these entries very, well how should I say, ‘thought provoking’. Suffice to say if I read and at times re-read an entry, I often find myself saying ‘I am not alone, I was only thinking or doing that last weekend too’

Kinje, thank you for your participation as this weeks sole selector. To Minnie and gijoe1313, congratualations you are our selectors ...

This week our two selectors both chose Kinje.

Thanks Mrs Kendog and Daza for your selection, and also I want to acknowledge Merv for his input guidance. (I actually went back through Kinje’s posts and came across Merv’s input – thanks Merv)

I'm inclined to accept that is a matter of history although all the more remarkable in my case as Mum and Dad currently find it hard to knowingly be in the same town, let alone the same bed swapping genetic material.

I'd like to ask the ...

*scratches head* - thinking of a topic to write about.

Ok so bikes will be a good way to start this off ...how I got into bikes.

Prior to the dream of owning a bike the ride on mower was the way to go. After I realised what the turtle and rabbit symbols ment on the mower it was time to try it out. Grew up on a farm so riding this 4 wheel beast at max speed was still a real snail pace. And managed to crash it into the grapevine.

My brother and I made ...

Well - today's a typical day really. Nothing serious going on (in my mind) but theres enough going on to sink the average frigate (or at least help the NZ Navy ones break down)

Lets see - there's the upcoming trip for work. Auckland, Prague, Virginia, Boston, Austin (Texas), Houston, Austin again... and home again... and to be honest the bit I'm looking forward is the home again. Round the world yippee... NOT
