Mom Died. Worst day of my life.

My lovely mother meant so much to so many, has passed away peacefully, after a blood clot caused her sudden passing.
Please say a prayer for her, and my Dad.
Mom recently had a shoulder surgery and was working on her recovery. She was getting more comfortable, and moved around to her comfort level. It was too much, and collapsed on the stairs, she had a hard to breathe. Dad called the paramedics.
Mom stopped breathing, and could not be revived.
It hurts to write this.
Dad was devastated that he could not do more. My poor Dad.
My Sister and her daughter arrived first, then my wife, myself and my daughters. The house was full of broken hearts.
We got the family affairs together, and had a memorial for Mom and a reception at the Catholic Church. We had a great turn out.
So many people had a story and a conveyance of love for Mom. I did my best to deliver a eulogy that would make mom proud.  May she rest in peace.












Street bike ride, then snowmobiles

Well, we did dirt bikes, it's time for street, then snow.
I was looking for a Suzuki GS500 frame and title that I could use to revive my old race bike. Instead, I found a Orange Street bike that needed some parts, paint and TLC.
I got this bike street ready in time for Amber's visit. Sydney rode the KLR650, and Kim and I on the Harley.
We met up with our friends in Encinitas. We rode through Rancho Santa Fe. To Escondido, then to Ramona for lunch. What great Day.









We made our way to Michigan ( due to some unfortunate circumstances) the girls, and i  got to ride some snowmobiles.

Family desert trip to Glamis, and guys to Ocotillo

The boys(Eric and Eric), went to Ocotillo Wells, on an overcast day to stretch our legs, and wheels. We found an airplane graveyard, and put in about 30 miles of desert riding.



We were fortunate enough to have access to a Polaris razor for the dunes, so the bike was switched over to a paddle tire.
I took the wife, daughters, and dog out to Glamis for a day trip, and we hit the sand.
Lots of fun.
