It's that time of year again!

Greetings!

It certainly has been a long spell since I last posted. To my faithful followers, I appreciate your patience. With finishing my master's degree this summer and obtaining permanent status at my employer, I've been a little out of the online loop. So, I apologize for the delay in posting.

At any rate, let me help you get up to speed with my upcoming happenings. The biggest story so far is the trip I have planned for August. Of course the route will go through New Mexico, but this year's destination will be just as epic as the helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon last year. Details to follow. (Hint: The attraction is also on a large scale, except far more organic in nature. And, part of the route involves many miles of top down driving.)

Speaking of going topless, I should formally introduce my ride of the past few months. The Sebring (which does not officially have a nickname yet, like the Battlecruiser or Red Dragon did), is ready with a fresh set of brakes on all corners, Royal Purple oil and filter under the hood, and a clean bill of health otherwise. Expect plenty of shots and footage of the fun in the sun action as the miles roll over on the journey.

I'm also beginning the initial steps of planning a documentary of Iowa's 99 counties. I have several of the main components ready to go, but need some more time to plan it out properly. Those pesky little details will be crucial to keep in mind. More updates as that gets underway officially.

So, until next time, keep on keeping on. I'll catch you on down the trail!
