It’s Wednesday. I don’t know why, but I absolutely love these things. Maybe it’s the sheer wrongness of throwing completely different songs together and somehow making them work. This glorious collision of ’70s and ’80s rock comes courtesy of the mad genius of remixer Bill McClintock. He throws ELO’s “Evil Woman,” Dokken’s “Dream Warriors,” Def Leppard’s “Foolin’,” and Ozzy Osbourne’s “Suicide Solution” into the musical blender and somehow produces one ridiculously seamless song. Then he pours on a little of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “That Smell” just to make things even more interesting. This musical Frankenstein stitched together a bunch of spare parts and somehow it not only works, but it rocks!

It’s Tuesday. It’s no secret that I’m a huge car enthusiast, but the truth is, I love just about anything on wheels—including motorcycles! A reader recently spotted this beautiful 5th-generation Honda Gold Wing GL1800 out in the wild and sent it over. Produced between 2001 and 2017, Honda built an estimated 200,000 to 250,000 of these iconic touring bikes. Powered by a beefy 1,832 cc flat-six engine, it definitely has plenty of get-up-and-go. Sadly, no amount of speed can outrun the upcoming winter! If you have one, enjoy it while you can! It’s a fantastic-looking ride—thanks for taking the time to send it in, Andy!

Keep, I was leaving my watering hole yesterday after having my favourite fish and chips meal and this was just outside the door.
I have never ridden a bike but I’m always impressed by the way bikers keep their machines so pristine.

Enjoy your daily routine of keeping your fans updated. Thanks.

It’s Monday. For some strange and unknown reason, Mother Nature put aside her hatred for me and bestowed a gorgeous Fall weekend upon us here in Illinois.

Saturday, the girlfriend and I took a drive out to Morris for their annual Corn Fest. There was live music, flea-market vendors, drinks, rides for the kids, games, and a ton of food. We wandered around, enjoyed the beautiful weather, and had a good time. Naturally, we couldn’t leave without picking up some killer BBQ for dinner—and, of course, some grilled sweet corn. Because attending a Corn Fest without eating corn would just be downright wrong.

Sunday, the girlfriend headed downstate to visit her parents, leaving the pooch and me to fend for ourselves. Fortunately, we had a gorgeous day to work with. Abby and I played ball, ran around the yard, and eventually settled into the time-honored tradition of getting lazy. I fired up the NASCAR race on the garage TV, grabbed a beer and some snacks, and had everything I needed for a perfectly respectable afternoon of doing absolutely nothing productive.

Later, I was invited over to my parents’ place for homemade pasta, which was a pretty damn good way to wrap things up. All in all, a beautiful weekend, good food, cold beer, NASCAR, the pooch, and no visits from the evil weather gods.

Time to get back to work… better open another bag of candy corn!
