I goofed and somehow deleted the whole blog pic folder. Welcome to the digital age. Here today,gone today.

But, I think these five pics sum up my year.

Bobber,he makes you laugh. He has a dry sense of humor that just comes out of nowhere. Hardly overrated. My friends are the best. I know yours are too.

Duffy and I. Hey, 27 years later and we're still smiling. What a long strange trip it was.

The return to Kross. One the "Wall of Death" and two a perfect Kross practice night.

I'm a happy man. Why do some people make life so hard? It's what you make it. I chose to fill mine with good people,good beer,good food and good bikes. Pretty simple.

Had the fixed out for a few rides. Ran errands on it. Another simple pleasure.

There's a beautiful sunset out my window tonight.

Enjoy life. OGQ

On the anniversary of last years crash. We celebrated. I gave out thanks to the Kross Kontingent that made my world a better place. The scent of fennel filled the air from the Waterzooi, a Belgian stew. We had Chimay Cheese, St Alban and another,I didn't see the label with bread for appetizers. The The Frites came out of the oven and we all sat down to eat.

Now Frites (french fries) with mayo, sounds weird actually tasted pretty good. Not being a big mayo fan. Beers, too many to list, check the fridge. Elliot brought even more and graced us with two bottles of Westvleteren (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB119617857954505332.html)

Now mind you this beer sells for 400$ a case. He said the Blue is good,but that the Gold is the best. It was very tasty. We also hard Maredsous. Which has been described as a double mouth orgasm. Christmas Ales and on. Belgian truffles and chocolate for dessert. The waffle maker waited in the wings,but wasn't used. Quite a night of revelry. Thank you all for all the help.

Music ranged from the Trans Siberian Orchestra to Warren Zevon and back to Christmas music by Jimmy Buffet, Keb Mo' and Bette Midler.

Yes I had some pics of me taken. Because I'm told by the faithful readers that "You're never in the pics.

Enjoy life. OGQ

Besides the sports I watch are seldom on TV. But Supercross starts soon.

So the line up shows the soldiers that sacrificed themselves for last night.

Lots of seasonals. I really like Christmas Ales. We started with Imperial Gold and worked our way to a Raspberry Lambick. Then back into the Weiss beers and back to Harpoon Winter warmer and Sierra Nevada Pale Celebration Ale.

Storm warning, Hurricane Bobber swept the Grand Prize last night. Polly represented " N-DE-COTT" and was winning big near the end. Mills and Cliff each got a few hands. I had a couple too.

But the "bell lap" came to late. Even playing the "Duffy Card" didn't pull me out of the hole.

Things you shouldn't look at on the net. http://www.ridetrash.com/ well some of it is good. Other things, prove the power of the next and how twisted some people really are.

Working on the KXmas Kristmas now.

Enjoy life, breath deep. Love your friends. OGQ
