Who are we?

We are Mike And Carolyn.


I am the handy one and Carolyn is the brains in this outfit.
Carolyn's First Ride to the ocean




Carolyn and Me on the Kangamangug Highway NH
In 1984 I interviewed for a job as a Field Service Engineer for Digital Equipment Corp (DEC).  That was my last job interview ever. DEC was acquired by Compaq (remember them) and they were acquired by HP.  TWENTY FOUR years latter I retired as a Software and Systems Deployment Manager.

Carolyn just retired from a 40 year career as a Speech and Language Pathologist.

We have 2 motorcycle, mine is a 2007 Goldwing and hers is a 2012 CanAm Spyder.  We do a lot of group riding and I teach a Goldwing Road Rides Association (GWRRA) Road Captain Course.

We do a lot of weekend trips around the North East, week long trips to rallies (Americade etc).

I have been cross country twice.  This is a charity fund raiser called Ride For The Relay (RFTR).






Why Blog?

Why Blog?

I suppose there are as many reasons to blog as there are bloggers.  So why did I decide to blog?  Do I have something so profoundly interesting to share? No.  So why spend the time?

Well,  the older I get, the worse my short term memory gets.  As disconcerting as this is, I have been assured that this is a normal part of aging.  I view blogging as a kind of Journaling, a way to take notes.

I will blog about:
  • Motorcycling
  • RVing
  • Anything that will NOT raise my blood pressure.
