You got this. It's already Wednesday you might as well finish the week and get your holiday pay.

Feeling tired? Go to bed sooner. Feeling worn out? Eat better. Bored? Me too bro.

Know why I'm bored? Because I can afford it.

During your entire work career you're going to notice you either have money to go do something or time but rarely do you have both.

Pretty early on we become slaves to things and stuff. We buy fancy Automobiles and then drive them back and forth to work so we can pay for them.

It seems like as you pay a car off it starts falling apart in your hands and bro you better go buy a new one! Haha.

Enjoy it while you are young kids.

Enjoy your toys and your things and stuff but my friends you better get a plan in place. Time is linear. The older you get the more you are just going to want freedom.

You've heard the expression, "Give til it hurts." But do ya?

We've all struggled. Hell, I embrace it. It's part of what makes us who we are.

You gotta take methodical steps to get you OUT of that situation though bro.

We have made amazing advancements in science. We have made amazing advancements in technology.

We now have 8 billion people in the world and guess what bro we are doing fine.

The sky is NOT falling.

A lot of you think we are on death's doorstep though so let's talk about it.

We ALL waiting to meet our maker. Here, you can get in front of me. Ha ha

Tough love bro, let me tell you how to jump out of line.

Let's enjoy our life. Let's make it our best life. Let's make a difference.

Let's be healthy. OK? I'll give you some hints.

In the end it's up to you.

Ha ha ha happy Friday! Life is good. Let's get through our work day and speed home so we can NOT watch the news.

How prepared are you to fight?

Me: Yawn..

Better question: Are you mature enough to pick your battles?

Are you planning your NEXT move or your BEST move?

I love it when one of my friends gives me a call on the way home.

Bro if you want to talk retirement strategies I'm your guy. If you want to talk shelter I am your guy.

I am a things and stuff and stuff and things sort of guy. I have said it many times bro I appreciate the little things.

I'm always happy to see my friends successful.

Time is linear. I hate that! Every day there are more people younger than me and even less people older than me.

This is inevitable. I am inevitable.

As horrible as I am bro one of these days you are going to be me. Might as well get used to it.

So we all sit back and fantasize that perfect Club where everybody is your exact age and mindset. And then reality sets in.

Guess what... them young guys.. they got something BIG to offer.

100,000 tech workers laid-off so far. Here's an idea, smarty pants: Invent something that actually matters.

How about a motor that runs damn near forever?

How any an original idea that DOESN'T center around staring at our cell phone?

The stock market has spoken! I'd rather pet my dog than view your new metaverse.

Bro we all wired different. There ain't no wrong answers. Just stupid ones.

If you had a full dresser and a Naked Bike which would you get rid of?

That's like choosing between Rihanna and Madonna. Are they still sex symbols? I don't know I'm old I'm out of the loop.

Is there any such thing as sex symbols any more? I don't know, my specialty is motorcycles.

Could Deadpool beat Wolverine in a fight? That's a slightly less big deal then Springfield versus Challenger.

Freedom. Ain't nothing wrong with that. Wages are going up. Hopefully your house payment is staying the same.

Food is costing more! What a great time to scale back.

Although it's not as exciting as putting header pipes on your truck, paying extra on your house is a big damn deal. It's like throwing a little bit of money straight at freedom.

It's Monday. Wupity Do! I hope over the weekend you jumped on your motorcycle and you went out and give yourself a little taste of freedom.

Wasn't the final goal always freedom?
#andthingsandstuff.

I mean seriously don't you want to be able to go where you want when you want without having to punch a clock or check your watch?

We all have a few people we keep on speed dial that we can rely on.

Right? I hope you do. I hope you are also on a few lists.

I hope there are people out there that you will literally drop everything and go help if they need it.

Let's face it motorcycles are not what they used to be.

The old school bikers from the 50s and 60s aren't going to recognize today's contraptions.

We can turn this around bro. I think my garage has room for both.

It's that time of year in Ohio. The seasons are changing right before our eyes.

Before long the snow will be flying and we will be into Seasons that are really depressing for some people.

Don't let the world weigh you down man. Enjoy every breath of air. Enjoy the scenery that is the outdoors.

If you don't feel like going out then sit back and appreciate that Cocoon of safety that is your own home.

We are all wired difference and there are no wrong answers when it comes to how you feel like spending your time. Make the most of it.

Who has opposing thumbs and went motorcycle riding yesterday? Me!

Oh I'm going to pay for it today bro haha. The alarm clock and 4:00 a.m. has no mercy.

I'm here to tell you do as I say don't do as I did. Learn from my mistakes.

More important than any of that silliness though bro I want freedom. I want freedom. I want freedom.

Tennessee Ernie Ford might have said it best when he said St Peter don't you call me.

Do you know what song that is from?

One way to protect your motorcycle a little better is understanding the mindset of your typical desperate criminal.

Let's make sure it's not an inside job.

Let's make sure you are not dangling it out there making it tempting.

Would you like a glass of water?

My friends. Another cop shot locally. Damn.
The HEAT has been a big deal this year.
Egads man. On a positive note: I'm taking Friday off.

Things and stuff and stuff and things.

MY advice to the young men out there carrying guns that enjoy the thug life.

Wow! Did I just say that out loud? Ha ha
. .. Do we hate our job or do we hate the lack of freedom?

We get our paychecks and then hand out money to a bunch of creditors. We don't get to keep it

Who's with me?! Let's end this!!

Rain again? Really!!?? Relax man. It happens.
Is it my fault? Um, yeah...I might have caused all this in the 80's. Sorry.

When it rains there's several mindsets.
Everything from "Ride or die" to "I've got other stuff to do." There's no wrong answer, don't take it so hard.

I don't force it. If it's rainy, guess what.. other things to do. Do you ride when the weather is bad? I'm like, meh...

There are SOME things you can do even if the sky is sketchy.
