Beat the Heat

If you live where it's hot & humid (which is just about everywhere lately) make sure you drink plenty of water and do overdo! Have a great, safe week.

Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix Benefit for Autism

Did my yearly volunteering for night track motorcycle security saturday midnight to sunday when the track opened. Its surprising to see the number of people that think they can sneak onto the race track in the wee hours of the night.

Staying up all night is a little tougher on the body the next day (or 2) than it use to be when I was younger.

Rain. . . If Only . . .

. . .After needing it for so long, I could now use a little break. There's a lawn out there that plainly could use a good mowing. . .

A Great Beach ...............

I don't know if you know it, but St. Maarten (Netherlands West Indies) has some fantastic beaches.

But there is one that is known world wide which is located at the end of the airport runway -- Maho Beach on Beacon Hill Road. (N18.039348, W063.120272)

The planes land so close to the beach that they can part your hair or give you a back rub with their wheels.

VIDEO: Now if that isn't enough for you, then perhaps you would like to engage in the new sport of Fence Surfing.

If not that, then please enjoy a calm day at the beach on the sand.

Visit this beach while in St. Maarten -- IT WILL BLOW YOU AWAY.

Bring back the mp3 players...

I don't know how anyone else feels about this issue, but Garmin doesn't offer any GPS units, with mp3 capability anymore,

I'd like to know who the Huckleberry Dillinger was, that made "that" decision...

That is why I have kept my 660 running. I use the mp3 player a lot on long road trips. My cases of CDs are collecting dust since I don't have to lug them around any more. All my music fits on the SD card and takes up zero space in the car. No more shuffling CDs in and out of the player.

Don't know what I would do if the 660 died.

I feel the same. I think I am going to have to replace the battery soon as it doesn't hold a charge as long as it use to, but don't want to give up the MP3.
