Above is our little hotel for the night.

Below is the Electric Charging Station for Tesla Cars. We are just over 200km from SF and Electric Cars are big. Up to now I have only seen 4 Porches, and two were electric. I have never even seen one in RSA. We saw several Electric Mustangs and Lexus is very big here in California.… Read More

We slept in a very Romantic little hotel last night, Peens switched on our electric fire in our room and I can see why so many people from SF come here for the weekend, it is at the entrance to Yosemite National Park, and if you are not the Camping Type and need more luxury but still want to see the park then this hotel is just perfect.… Read More

Danny-Boy was on the bike today, but we hear from his dad he sleeps with a little Soft Toy he bought himself so that everyone on the trip can think he has a girlfriend that bought it for him, so today the toy rode with him. But in his defense, he did not put it on the bike, we helped his dad put it there so that Danny-Boy could feel loved,

We did not want to do the big U-Shape ride on the main roads to get back on track after we were forced to take the South Exit from the park due to the roads being snowed-in and still closed after the winter, so we, in our wisdom, thought it would be very clever to just  curt across the top of the U, but there was no major road running East, so we had to Zig-Zag from one little town to the next small dorpie.… Read More

We made it to Las Vegas, we are meeting at the Pool Bar at 19h00, I need to push to get this Blog out before then.

I now hear all my friends are sleeping (except Peens who went looking for them, even the young Danny Boy is resting.) So they will be strong tonight, me not so much as I am dedicated to all of you, so here it goes:

Last night already we started celebrating Rockies Birthday.… Read More

I see a Test blog Post has gone out?? I suspect that the Person who is tasked with my blogs I.T.  (you see, the Political Incorrect Fleisch would have said “my Computer Man,”) has started working on increasing the size of the “Previous Post” and “Next Post” so it will be easier to navigate the blog and must have sent out the Test Blog.… Read More

Las Vegas is “pumping” with people, all here to witness the ‘NFL Draft” that is happening here in Vegas. Its a 3 day event and it started today. This event is where all the “buying” of new players as well as the re-buying of older players who has completed their contracts and are available again to sign a new contract happens.… Read More

There was a time today that I did not think I would be able to send out this Blog today, I was convinced we were all still going to be fighting our way through desert sand, dehydrated and awaiting certain death by Cayote’ Dinner. But here I am, with a Bourbon in my hand and many good photos to show you.… Read More

We left this morning at 8h00. I had a terrible night, I hardly slept, I coughed and battled to breath, but worst, I had a fever, and because I sleep with ear-plugs (because Peens has Master Snorer Status,) I could hear my own heart racing, that freaked me out and I just could not sleep. Then I stood up and searched for our Medical Aid Kit, I hoped there was something for the flu and maybe a Rennies (Anti-Acid) as the gourmet lunch at the Fuel Station just would not stop burning.… Read More

As I pointed DadAss North East this morning and rode out of the Motel  at exactly 7h30,  the time we said we were going to leave, (half the group left at 7h15 as the horse had now turned and was bolting back to the stable,) and the other half left at 7h45, (as they arrived late yesterday evening after Peens thought he had met the love of his life on-route at a Pizza Restaurant 15 miles back, so they never filled-up with fuel and first had to go to the Gas Station,) I thought that today was going to be a good one, if the sign in the Bates Motel’s window was anything to go by :

I rode hard to catch Group 1, there were no cars on the road, and every time I saw a car approaching I would slow down to 104km per hour, which is the Speed Limit on the open road as the Cops here has a Radar fixed onto an approaching vehicle and if you are speeding they make a U-Turn and chase you down.… Read More

I went to bed yesterday at 4pm and apart form eating a Take Away brought to my room by Peens at 22h00, which I ate,  then slept till 7h00 this morning. I had asked my travel agent to see if she could change my flights to a sooner date but she phoned me 15h00 RSA time as arrange to let me know she could not.… Read More
