    It's not about arriving, it's all about the journey. And a journey of 1000 miles starts with just one step. Take the darned step Ryan!


    I have no idea how all this applies, but it sounded somehow fitting.

    I rode to Chandler for a Patriot Guard Riders mission today. Couple of drops. That's all. Must be the good life I live. Got another ride for a mission in Gilbert tomorrow morning. :)

    Well I didnt have a Meet planned but I was waiting for a long enough break in the rain for my front grass to dry up enough so I could mow it and make my HOA happy. This is what I think caused the rain, the fact that I didnt want it makes it happen.

    But by the time the Cards game ended the sun was out long enough I got and mowed the lawn. then went back inside and watched the Shiney colorful cars go around in circles. I was dissapointed I didnt see any fire or mangled metal though.
