© Can’t believe my ears when the weatherman said Sundays temperature should be in the 70’s……………………..

Can you dig that I mean here it is almost February and in the 70’s come on just the other day I rode to work and there was frost everywhere and frozen water puddles on the side of the road.

And just a couple day’s later and going to be in the 70’s cant wait to ride I think we may have to miss church and enjoy the day.

I read somewhere that I would rather spend the day…

Bitch'en Day

What a day for the end of January you cant beat it.

Great day for a ride could be anywhere or nowhere just as long as you get the wind in your hair and sunshine on your face.

Really just about everyday is a good day to ride just some are especially good days and today happens to be one of them.

So today at least take an extra long lunch and enjoy the freedom of the road.

Because with the way government is going I don’t know how long that will…

Spontaneous combustion

That’s what it looks like to see a mountain cedar explodes.

Looks like it just caught fire out of the blues for no reason.

It seems that when the conditions are just right they all burst at the same time needless to say just about everyone is effected one way or another  coughing sneezing watery eyes or all of the above .

No meds seem to help much; basically you just suffer thru it and hope that the end of the mountain cedar season passes…

The days are getting longer and the nights are getting shorter.

That’s the way I like it as the days get longer that means more sunshine and more time to ride .

Also as an added bonus the nights are warn and very fun to cruz the hill country  sometimes we ride all night then stop for breakfast wherever we may be.

Nothing like riding all day stopping for a swim somewhere in the many swimming holes around the Hill Country jump on the bike ride and dry off Blow dry in 5…

Lunch Hour seems like about 10 minutes when we are together

But then again time fly’s when you are having the time of your life...Lunch is just a excuse to ride not really for lunch just a chance to get away and enjoy a least a little part of the day instead of being stuck inside all day long.…

I am the author of "Riding on Empty" of which took over 8 years to write due to being dyslexic. I felt if I could help just one person deal with the loss of a loved one then it would all be worthwhile. So far I have successfully helped many people better deal with their loss. Riding on Empty will make you cry, laugh and most of all cherish each and every day as though it were your last.…

Decided it was time to explain how I got the name of "2hand", or more accurately, "2 hand Dave".



What started out as a business acquaintance with Chad quickly turned to freindship due to our combined interests in music, guitars and love of the great outdoors. One day Chad asked me if I wanted to play cards with him and some of his friends. Since I hadn't played poker in many years, and since I loved the game, I eagerly accepted, not unlike a 2-bit whore being offered a grand for a… Continue
