Finding The Winter Groove Ain’t Easy
Just some musings about upcoming work on the bike, and some thoughts on possibly replacing it. Winter is coming, and the goals remain the same.
Winter Horizons: daylight is not for saving
A little update, a introspective into intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and a look ahead at some ideas for me and this winter. #jkroams
The Final Leg of 2024
This really was being on my last leg. Tires all worn out or leaking air, out of food and clean clothes, out of money, and nothing but miles of desert between me and the end of Road Trip: 2024.

There are still stop offs of places and things to see, some people to visit, and a large chunk of … Continue reading Ups And Downs And Run Arounds
