Road tripping

South of Maple Creek, Saskatchewan

I did not get some of the things accomplished on this road trip that I wanted. The backroads had more snow than expected, they were not dry enough to get to some of the places I wanted to visit. I could get to an old cemetery that I wanted to visit, the problem was it was drifted in.

None of this was an issue.

I had a grand time meeting my friend Michael Truman for dinner Friday night and then meeting up again the next morning and hanging out for the day. It was a day for good conversation, great company, and visiting a few out of the way places.

Short road trip

On the road I take my iPad with me. I should remember to take my Surface with me instead. I always have problems trying to respond to comments or post with an iPad. The Surface works better. I do not know why I have issues trying to do anything with the blog with an iPad. I could take my laptop but I like to travel somewhat light.

I have an iPod in the car for entertainment. I listen to a lot of Country. Older stuff like Waylon, Willie, Cash, Haggard, Billie Joe Shaver, you get the idea. I am partial to Cody Jinks, Chris Stapleton, Jason Boland, Dallas Moore, Blackberry Smoke, Stoney LaRue, Cody Canada. Recently I discovered Larkin Poe, they make anything sound great. I ran across Molly Tuttle and AJ Lee. So far I like everything of theirs that I have listened to.

I recently got into podcasts. The great thing about podcasts is that you get to delve into subjects and people in depth. Marc Maron’s is one I like. Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend is entertaining, it could be more serious to get to better know the guests. Gilbert Gottfried’s Amazing Colossal Podcast is great for getting to get to know some of the the fringe Hollywood topics and older and lesser known people in entertainment. I had been listening to Jordan Pederson’s podcast. Good stuff, he needs to learn to talk less so his guests get to say more.

Suggestions for music and podcasts are welcome.

Motorbike Graveyard


A motorcycle graveyard in Makinak, Manitoba.


I'm sure there's someone out there who needs that special part to get their vintage bike up and running again.  Stop by for a look.
