We’ve headed south for the weekend to Taos, NM.  Having fun walking around the old pueblo.  Google maps said it would take us 5 and a half hours to get here.

I’ve always wanted a motorcycle.
So, about two weeks after my knee surgery I visited the Harley Davidson dealership and picked out a red 2010 Road King.  I’ve been riding it for the past 3 weeks and love it. It’s pretty heavy (nearly 800lbs with a full tank of gas) but it handles extremely well on [...]

We arrived in Austin in record time (around 2 hours and 15 minutes).  Would have been faster but we hit traffic leaving Houston.
