I said: what about my eyes?

God said: Keep them on the road.

I said: what about my passion?

God said: Keep it burning.

I said: what about my heart?

God said: Tell me what you hold inside it?

I said: pain and sorrow?

He said: ..stay with it.

The wound is the place where the Light enters you.

"...Differently...

Oh yeah I need your love,

I need your love.

Differently...

Yes I can tell you babe,

I need your love.

Differently...

Today is a brand new day, yes it is.

Differently..."

"Wish

 

you told me by and by,

That my life would come to this,

That I'd have to find a way

to let things go,

That my friends would turn to foes,

And my love would come to blows,

Then I would have done some things

differently..."

23 curves and 67 hills that don't meet today's design standards.

From Jan 2010 till Dec 2014 there were 103 crashes, three fatalities, 36 injury crashes and 64 property damage only accidents.

"The Great Green River Ferry Day Adventure."

Somehow or another I came to find out that there are nine operating riverboat ferrys in the state of Kentucky.

Well ain't that cool? Already been over the Valley View, a few times in fact when I lived in Lexington. Goes across the KY River, Richmond Road from Lexington to Richmond or vice versa. Did it in my old Suzuki Sidekick lol. Top down of course :-). Anyway, that's ones done, but if the goal is to do them on all on the bike them were gonna have to go back, no biggie, figure that out later. Side note: The Valley View Ferry is the oldest continuously operating business in the state of Kentucky. A ferry has been in that location operating since the time when Kentucky was still a part of Virginia. Obviously not the same ferry but a ferry. Okay back to the map. Lets sort this thing out to have done all of these by bike.

Well, lets look at the ones farthest away and start there. Dorena-Hickman crosses the Mississippi from Missouri to KY. The only way to go directly from Kentucky to Missouri or vice versa. Did it last year already. :-).

Check. Moving on. Which ones are the next farthest away? Well shit lol. Northern KY. (Anderson and Augusta) Damn. That's gonna be a haul. That one of those up at the ass crack of dawn summer days and get in as much daylight as possible and go all day affairs. Surely there's someway to do them both on the same run? Probably. Nothing happening with this anytime soon, don't worry about it. Maybe even just go to Richmond and redo the Valley View ferry on the bike and then go on to Lexington and leave out the next am for the two in Northern Kentucky? Who knows. Figure it out later.

Whats next? Well Cave in Rock is a good days drive. Be neat to see the park. Maybe even go over to Garden of the Gods? Go down to Paducha? Who knows. Keep that one in mind. Whats next farthest away? Looks like Turkey Neck Bend and it looks like it's close to Lake Cumberland? Jamestown doesn't look that far away. Maybe drop by and see John and Freida? Someday soon probably with these two ferrys I'm thinking.

What else we got up here? Well I already done the Green River Ferry In Mammoth Cave a few weeks ago :-). Check, Moving on. Houchins is closed. Been there twice. This time the actual ferry was gone. Website needs updating.

Which brings us to the last two left, both fairly close to home, one is just the other side of Beaver Damn (Rochester) and nobody around here has ever even heard of it. Kinda weird but whatever, we'll figure it out. Looks like there is one real close by as well over in Edmundson county (Reeds). This is looking like a 150 mile or so round trip and knock out two of these? Deal. Where do I sign up? I couldn't get the map to display it but there was a way to get across the Reeds Ferry and then back to Beaver Dam and on to Fordsville and back the way I had come. So that's the plan, Knock out two of them, that's the goal, (Keep that in mind lol) And...were off.

It was a cool lil ride south of Beaver Dam to the Rochester Ferry. Rode past several access roads to the Peabody Wildlife Management Area.

I could see the TVA Paradise Coal fired Power Plant the next county over, Muhlenberg, Drakesboro I believe. 

(Not my picture :-()

Keep in mind I'm headed to cross the Green River by ferry twice today. So, yeah, this was playing through my mind, especially after I saw the Paradise facility and the Peabody Wildlife Management Area. Song even mentions the Rochester Dam. I didn't see it but I did go through Rochester and I did cross the Rochester Ferry across the Green River. 

Pretty sure, I would have to check, but I believe my Grandfather worked building the Paradise Power Plant. He was a boilermaker, based out of Louisville, seems like he would have. He worked building other power plants in the region. I remember we went somewhere he was working when I was very small and we climbed into the cab of a shovel and it was ginormous. I mean it had a refrigerator in it. just blew my mind as a small kid. Like I said I'll have to check with some relatives, but if my grandfather did work at Paradise? That shovel John is singing about was the one I climbed inside.

Rochester Ferry Crossing.

The Ferry Captain was really nice. Told me what road to take (Provo Road) so that I didn't have to double back to make it over to the Reeds Ferry. "Take Provo Road" he says, "You'll like it, it's pretty country with hills and curves, you'll come out just this side of Morgantown on 79. Take a left at the Hardees in Morgantown and it will take you right to Reeds Ferry". Awesome. We're off.

Welcome to the "Things don't always go as planned" segment of the story lol. I made it to Reeds Ferry. I crossed the Green River on it lol. I rode back home. But on the way to Reeds Ferry? With no warning signs or MPH markers? Got caught up in a wide sweeping left turn. The thing just went on and on forever. Drifted a lil to the right. I always stay in the center of the road when no one is coming on the other side so I can have the whole road to maneuver in if I need to. Anyway, pulled back to center. Still in this damn thing. I'm on a strange, curvy country road I don't know, 75-80 miles from home. I'm doing 35-40 tops. Drift to the right again. No biggie. Pull it back to center. The next time I drifted to the right? By the time we tried to pull her back? By the time someone could say "Oh shit!" I had it down to 15 mph but I was picking myself off the blacktop as the long sweeping curve suddenly had got sharp. I was on that front brake hard and as I went into the grass? That was all she wrote. "Fuck!, where's the bike? Relax, your in shock, not near as bad as the last time that's obvious, few scrapes and bruises, you'll be alright." Go check the bike. Fuck. Turn signal broke, signal still works, that's good, the wire didn't snap, same with the rear running light that was a causality as well. Shifter is bent to hell. Camera? Ha! What camera? lol. It was shot. Pictures from this point were taken on the phone which was not damaged. After a few tries, we get the bike started up, go across the Reeds Ferry.

I'm heading home. I made it back to beaver Dam. Getting gas. "Fuck my ankle hurts." Lets just get home and get cleaned up. Hey, here's a thought, stop by Fawn and Jason's and get cleaned up. I know Fawn's gonna have hydrogen peroxide and cotton balls. Yeah, lets go do that. Cool. Rolling. Bikes riding good. Things are looking a lot better than they could have been believe me. Five miles from Fordsville, 12 miles or so from Fawns, I go to downshift and...I...feel...the shifter peg...slowly...give way lol. I look down and see the shifter peg on one side and the bolt on the other and both go bouncing, tinkling their lil merry way down the road lol. Of course the shifter beg breaks off I was thinking, Why wouldn't the shifter peg break off? I swear, I smiled from ear to ear, laughed a good belly laugh looked down at what I had to work with and thought downshifting won't be a problem and it wasn't, I could easily tap the shifter with the base of my boot. Coming up in the gears? Lol. That was a lil different story lol. I had to use the back of my heel to go from first to fifth and I'm about 30 miles from home on a curvy ass hilly country road. I think someone remembers something about "Deer thirty over here"? Yeah. That road. Nice. Fuck Fawn and Jason's now. This fucking thing is getting ridden home without stopping. What was once an accident has now been turned into a full blown adventure. Forget the ferrys lol, now the objective is to make it home thirty miles on hilly curvy country back roads with no shifter peg.

Well? We made it :-). I stopped by the Dollar Store on the way home and got some hydrogen peroxide and cotton balls lol. Didn't know how many I had at home and I didn't wanna have to come back. Went home, cleaned up. Went to Christians. Told him what happened. "I think you'll be alright." He says. "Me too". "Sucks about the bike, at least it's nothing to expensive." "I know right?" Went home. Sat on the porch. Do what I do. Got Fawns mom's number. She lives down the road from us. She is a nurse. Went to see her. She said I did alright but cleaned me up a lil bit more. By now my ankle was killing me. "RICE. Rest. Ice. Compress. Elevate." Gotcha Kim, cool thanks. "Ice packs, hip and ankle." Yes mam. "Four ibuprofen three times a day for a week. Morning noon and night." "A week?" A week." "K".

Anyway. Not the way one would like to end their riding season lol but things happen. No more cross country jaunts without full leathers. I don't care if its 95 degrees. Good. I'll sweat and loose some weight lol. I know how to stay hydrated (somebody else better be). Gotta stop and get gas every 80 miles or so anyway. Drink plenty of liquids, that's the plan these days.

Some people would say, "Well why didn't he write this a while back when it happened, he don't want people to know when he messes up etc." (I posted the pictures crossing both ferrys on a different forum) The truth is this. You're already doing something only three percent of the population does. Everybody thinks your showing off to begin with. So how much more are you showing off when you get back on your bike injured and ride 75 miles back home and have the shifter peg fall off the last thirty miles? To do a post explaining all that soon after it happens seems more like showing off to me. A "Look at me look what I did" kinda thing. I wasn't into it, I figured the story would work it's way out of me in due time, which it did. The people that needed to know soon, knew, after I knew everything was okay. The only thing really wounded was my feelings and ego and it's not like that won't never happen again lol. Pretty used to that state of affairs :-). It's like when somebody asked me soon after I first met her and we went for a walk and I was limping cause my knee was hurting and I said I was in an accident and she said "Oh really? What kind of accident?" and I said "I'd really rather not say, some day down the road I'll tell you but not now." Same exact thing if you ask me. If others don't think so? So be it, what can I do about it? It's the truth. Moving on.

Besides...

Chicks did scars they say :-).

...and that, in a nut shell, was "The Great Green River Ferry Day Adventure."

I would have rather laid there by the side of the road and bled out than to live some dreadful 9-5 or shift work shitty job for peanuts that always got you reaching to do more, proving yourself 24/7 for raises that don't ever catch you up to where you should have been before you even started and bosses that never should have been hired in the first place, let alone be capable of doing your job or sometimes even understanding what it is that you do.

Fuck that. Did it longer than I should have.

I got my perspective clear finally on 

"The Great Green River Ferry Day Adventure."post.

Boils down to I would rather have done 29,000 miles on back roads and laid it down twice than to have never done it to begin with. People know it. They hate it. It's got nothing to do with them and everything to do with how I wanna live. Motorcycling is like life. Life is unpredictable. One second every thing's cool. Next minute it's all crazy. In a second it can be gone, no more, forever. So whats the difference? We start dying the second were born. We only got one shot, better enjoy it.

Lost most of my pics lol. They were on the desktop. Deleted them from the camera already. Got a few. Gotta find some online,  transfer some from phone etc. Gonna suck putting it together without all the right pics. 

Turns out The military leader I most resemble personality wise according to a Facebook Quiz lol is...drum role please...Fredrick the Great. Brilliant tactician, favored small quick wars that used limited resources. He led by example a lot. He got his horse shot out from underneath him six times. Do you think anybody ever told him not to get back on his horse? I doubt it. If they did they didn't for long. They knew it was a futile effort real soon I bet.

Anyway I got it pretty much in my head, just a matter of doing it.  I wasn't but a few miles from Paradise, John Prine, a TVA power plant I believe, Life lessons etc :-). 

I'll get to it sometime soon. 

Promise.

Rumi

Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place.

Morning

Sunshine.

Feel good :-).

Love ya Dollbaby.

I promise

you, I was just singing "God of Wonders" to myself.

I walked out on the back deck to look at the sky.

A meteor blazed right across the sky where I was looking :-).

Good sign Lucy :-).

I was playing that song this AM when the computer crashed.

I though man, the evil one is all about this not happening.

I was playing it cause it was going to my good morning to you this AM.

I'll take a day ending like this, over one starting like this any day :-).

Got Nich's computer where it's serviceable for me for now.

Just gotta delete a bunch of programs, add drives, programs, get all my stuff set up like I like :-).

It's just peace meal stuff from here, lil here lil there.

I should be done with most of it sometime tomorrow.

I think adblock in Chrome was the culprit.

We'll see.

Not gonna matter much more here in a bit :-).

Better to go ahead and do it now and get it out of the way.

The Great Lawson's Chicken Disappearance Saga

Alright...

So Saturday at moms they had 14 people, 8 adults and six kids.

They had already cooked out lunch for everybody.

For diner Mom and Al decided to just feed everybody some Lawson's Fried Chicken.

Now Lawson's is a lil hole in the wall joint over in Indiana.

Bar and grill type place.

The room in the back is for the buffet during the day.

TV's here and there, sports bar themed, dark, place has some miles on it.

Anyway, the place has fantastic fried chicken.

So they ordered 20 pieces, two buckets, mom made some potatoes and some mac and cheese was present and that was going to be dinner for everyone.

The fun starts when Al, John (His son), Alex (His grandson) and I go to pick up the chicken.

It's about15 minutes away.

We all go in and have a seat at a table.

Al orders a beer, so we all do.

We are about finished with the first round and the lady comes back and says it's gonna be another 10 minutes or so on the chicken, well with that being the case everybody else gets another beer. 

Except me :-). 

See I'm a good boy sweetheart, I had a water :-).

Were just sitting, shooting the bull, watchin a lil football, waiting on the chicken.

Lady comes back a lil later and puts it on the counter and tells us it's ready.

Al goes and pays and then comes back to finish his beer.

Just let it sit on the counter you know?

We'll get it here in a second.

Well in a flash Al downs his beer and slammed his glass on the table and looked John in the eye and said, "You need to finish up" and got up and left, without saying a word about where he was going lol.

So Me and Alex and John are sitting there and a few minutes later Alex said "Did he just take the chicken and leave?" Me and John look at the counter and the chicken is gone. The looks on all three of our faces was like: "He freakin left!" Alex said "I can't believe that, an 87 year old man gonna drink us under the table and then leave." So we get up and head to the car in the parking lot thinking Al was leaving. (The bill had been settled with the chicken). We get to the car? Yeah, one problem, no Al lol. We're like "Where in the hell did he go?" So we go back inside and Al's coming out of the bathroom lol. He just looked at us like "What the hell are you three idiots doing coming back in? Where did you all go?" The lady handling our order shows back up with the chicken, "Ya'll leaving? I had your order under the heat lamp." She knew what had happened lol. She looked at us like "You crazy people, get your damn chicken and get out of here already." 

Which is what we promptly did, all of us laughing at what had just transpired, as were the rest of Lawson's patrons lol. 

We laughed all the way home. 

The looks on all of our faces when we collectively thought "HE LEFT!" lol. 

Then the confused look on Al's face when he sees us walking back in :-). 

Then the look on the bartender's face when she was laughing at us.

Priceless lol.

In our defense, there are times when it is very likely that Al would pull something like taking the chicken and leaving lol.

I mean we all three honestly believed thats what he had done, because it's like something he would do on occasion.

Just not this time :-).

Thank goodness. 

And that, is The Great Lawson's Chicken Disappearance Saga.

Love ya Lucy.

Usually about three chicken breast.

This time I used four so I had an extra layer on top that we normally don't get.

Pan was deeper than one I normally use, had extra sauce, just made sense.

Diner.

My plate presentation.

I cut out a square of enchiladas and place them in the center of the plate.

No need to worry about it being pretty, it's just gonna get covered up anyway.

I place fresh chopped lettuce around the enchiladas along with fresh chopped tomatoes, sour cream. fresh chopped cilantro and homemade 14 ingredient guacamole made the day before.

There ya go.

Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas Casserole.

I still think it's funny my ex's brothers (all from New Mexico) always liked my guacamole and enchilada casserole better than hers :-).

Nite.

Probably gonna try and hit up two of the ferry's tomorrow.

Should be an adventure :-).

Let's

You're the baddest mama-jama on the planet.

You're gonna teach me about firearms I'm sure.

I'm guessin you probably ride better than most guys.

But you want me to kill the spider :-).

How cool is that?

How can I not love that?

"Am

I on."

:-).

Only for you Dollbaby.

PORCH LIFE

There was a downright flurry of activity this evening. A donkey about a half mile over started going ape-shit, which got a herd of cows getting all up in arms, meanwhile I'm watching a caterpillar climb the wall, the trees I swear are changing colors right before my very eyes and lil Mr. Bat is circling the shagbark hickory and gumball trees keeping the bugs away. It aint like this every night. 

Peace 

:-)

Night.

Mom

enjoyed her diner.

It was a good night.

Except I accidentally turned the oven off and didn't know it, so things got delayed

 for 45 minutes :-).

Other than that?

It was a good night.

Green Chili Chicken Enchilada Casserole with fresh made guacamole, chips, fresh chopped lettuce and tomato, sour cream and fresh chopped cilantro.

Love you.

ttys.

(Moms birthday today, like you don't know lol)

:-)

Well?

"...Is it what you dreamed it'd be 

Are you locked up in this fantasy 

Oh this miles that have 

torn us apart 

My new found faith 

and my broken heart..."

We should be going to worship together sweetheart.

Love you.

There

(Houchins is closed)

I've done three of them.

Three of them are within an easy day trip from here.

Wanna take a guess at what I am thinking?

Rumi

God, take my soul to that place,

where I may speak without words

Matthew 11:28-30

Matthew 11:28-30

And

since it's your favorite month and all.

:-)

Tell

me about it.

Think

I know one :-).

Morning

Sunshine :-).

and this

Like this

One

more time:

"If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters--yes, even their own life--such a person cannot be my disciple."

"Hate" in this context is used comparatively.

God doesn't want us to hate our fathers or mothers or our own lives.

He just wants us to love him more.

Okay.

Moving on.

Happier thoughts :-).
