maybe just the illusion

21NOV25

of being in control

is ignorance a blessing
some how more kind
not wrecking or messing
with a closed mind

a silverware setting
a perfect table
safer not letting
horses out of the stable

a door closed
a candle unlit
maybe wisdom knows 
we couldn't handle it

we drink the Kool-Aid
on top of the heap
a decision has been made
that prop we get to keep

some confusion 
in the soul
maybe just the illusion
of being in control

the flag that blows
in freedom's winds
that flag knows
some big friends

I am still in the holler of my youth this morning. As I walk through the mountains and the memories that they hold I become more aware of what a special place this is for me. The motorcycles that we trailered in from Lexington KY, the GoPro, and the drone are all kind of like paintbrushes that I will use to try to paint them for you in the upcoming months. Hopefully you will be able to make sense out of what I come up with.

At this point I will probably stay through the weekend and return to Louisville on Monday morning. I want to try to avoid some of the Thanksgiving traffic.

I hope you have a great Friday!

SMILE : )

our friendly cage

bigfoot on You Tube
his story evolves
the Rubik's Cube
that can't be solved

aliens are flying
it's part of the puzzle
is the government trying
to put on a muzzle

everytime  we turn
and start another page 
find that bigfoot spurns
our friendly cage

roamer of the lands
that critter in the woods
he truly understands
what we consider good

My brother and I made the trip from the holler in Nickelsville VA to Central Kentucky Motorsports in Lexington KY on Saturday. It was pretty much an all day trip we left when the sun was coming up and got back when it was going down. It was really a neat trip. We were two brothers setting sail on their first big adventure in decades. We had a Honda SL70 trail bike when we were growing up. As soon as one of us would get off of it the other one would jump on it. That had to be a really tough bike.

The motorcycle dealership sells a lot of dirt bikes. So while we we strapping the two motorcycles down on the trailer we got to watch what I’m guessing were employees in the service department testing the dirt bikes in the back parking lot. Whenever we would hear those loud mufflers coming around the building we would watch like hawks because we knew we were probably going to get to see some wheelies. My brother said more than once “He probably works here for free.” So we were smiling a lot while we were loading the bikes.

This morning I am starting the task of getting insurance, a safety inspection, a bill mailed to this address in my name(for proof of residency) and all of the other loose ends that have to be tied up to get the bikes on the road legally. I will try to get as much stuff done as I can so that when I get the titles in the mail every thing will be streamlined.

This afternoon I will be picking up my brother’s 6 year old granddaughter by myself for the first time. If you have seen the Nickelsville Flyover video in the Drone Flyover Videos section of the Drop Down Menu then you already know the bridge that we will be crossing at Nickelsville Elementary School.

I hope that you have great start to your week today!

it enters the water

in the nude

beauty is kind
ready to be found
no need to grind
it's already ground

have to try it
you'll become a fan
you can buy it 
in  a can

make water hotter
to enhance the mood
it enters the water
in the nude

from a bean
the fun is insane 
as the caffeine
runs thru my brain

it cooks & wakes
me from the dead
bigfoot looks & shakes
his big head

This morning my brother and I head for Central Kentucky Motorsports in Lexington KY to pick up 2 motorcycles to bring back to the holler. He is going to keep them in his farm’s garage for me. This will be our first big adventure together since we were teenagers. I’m really looking forward to it. One of these days I will write about the time we transported a tall stack(rick) of hay on the back of a farm truck.

I hope that you have a great Saturday and a wonderful weekend.

all the noise

I'm not a scholar
but I can learn 
just left the holler
now I return

my brother & a trailer
they wait for me
together we are sailors
the interstate our sea

our sails will soar
for distant ports
as we head for 
Central KY Motorsports

all of the sharks
we'll try to dodge
2 motorbikes we'll park
in his garage

the checks are signed
for the toys
hope bigfoot doesn't mind
all the noise

The motorcycles are used bikes and they both have after market exhausts that are louder than the stock ones. That is where the lines about the noise come from. But from a safety standpoint a lot of motorcyclists like to have loud bikes. Motorcycles tend to be almost invisible to other drivers. And the theory is that if they are at least aware of a noise they may look a little more. And I am pretty sure that mobile phones have made being on a bike even more dangerous.

The holler and the surrounding hills and mountains have an incredible amount of deer crossing the road. Maybe the sound will help with that too. But the deer are known for being very unpredictable.

I am getting ready to load the car and get on the road. I hope that you have a great Friday. Maybe something unpredictable and wonderful will happen!

as we take flight

on the ground & in the air

it is well known
we're in the sky
we have the drone 
for the eagle eye

they are eternal words
that the angels sing true
I've always heard
motorcycles have wings too

poems we write
similar sounds we pair
as we take flight
on the ground & in the air

it will be sweet
it will be true
we're saving a seat 
just for you

I am returning to Virginia to join my brother as we travel back to Lexington KY to Central Kentucky Motorsports to pick up and trailer the bikes back to the holler. I plan to leave for the holler tomorrow. It should be a fun adventure. We love sitting around and talking about stuff we did together decades ago. Time for some new memories! I have a lot of errands to run today and loose ends to tie up before I leave. I usually stay longer in Louisville than 3 nights when I return. Time to shake things up : )

I hope that you are making new memories that both brighten your day now and in the future when you reflect on them!
