Ambos Eventos Se Vieron Literalmente Frustrados Por La LLuvia

Es dificil hacer planes para participar en un evento de motoras en esta fecha del año. Cuando no es que la actividad es afectada por la lluvia, lo es por el frio. 

Gracias a Dios me demore en alquilar el hotel en Maryland International Raceway o comprar la entrada en New Jersey Motorsports Park en Millville, NJ. Las carreras de motoras de circuito en New Jersey, y las carreras de drag-racing en Maryland han sido afectadas por una fuerte tormenta del nor'easter azotando la costa de Nueva Jersey, Maryland y la región de Filadelfia este fin de semana. Tendremos lluvia desde viernes hasta el lunes.

Yo prefiero no manejar la moto cuando llueve; una lastima que el Jeep Grand Cherokee esta en Puerto Rico. El pronostico del tiempo en el otoño es impredecible; cuando no es una cosa es la otra.

Chicharron de Bayamon

Antes de que se construyera la autopista, los que viajabamos de Mayaguez a San Juan teniamos que cruzar el pueblo de Bayamon manejando por la antigua carretera PR-2 (La Militar). Cuando yo era joven, habia muchos negocios a la orilla de la carretera vendiendo el famoso chicharron de Bayamon. Era costumbre de las familias que viajaban, parar a la orilla de la carretera a comprar chicharron.

Este proximo domingo es el desfile Puertorriqueño en Filadelfia, y en muchas esquinas hay negocios ambulantes vendiendo comida en la calle.

Ayer, tuve la oportunidad de comprar chicharron en Filadelfia. Dicen que el cerebro guarda los olores y los sabores de la niñez. Con tan solo probar el primer bocado de chicharron, automaticamente me transporte a aquellos años cuando nos parabamos a la orilla de la antigua carretera PR-2 en Bayamon. Buenos recuerdos de aquellos tiempos.

Minimalist GoPro Accessories and Mounts

I seriously need to come up with a way to travel light with the least amount of GoPro accessories and mounts during my motorcycle adventures. Throughout the years I have accumulated too many mounts and accessories, to the point that I had to purchase a case to carry most of them. 

The problem is that my motorcycle has limited space to carry all the GoPro accessories and mounts, plus my three GoPro's, my Nikon DSLR and the tripod or Playpod. I am trying to avoid using my smartphone to video record my rides if I can; the three GoPro action cameras should keep me busy at this time.

One easy solution would be to record short GoPro video clips on different days, weather permitting. I should have an answer to this dilemma in the following days. 

Are You Ready For Fall Foliage Motorcycle Rides?

I am not ready because it reminds me that winter is around the corner. Riding in the fall often means riding through lots of fallen leaves. The fall is perfect for leaf peeping/watching and taking pictures, but with so many leaves on the road during peak foliage in October, we have to be extra careful especially around the curves.

Picture was taken near Lake Nockamixon State Park in Bucks County, about 45 miles from Philadelphia. 

1984 New York Amazin Mets at Shea Stadium in Queens, NY.

A mami le encantaba el beisbol, y era la fanatica numero uno de los Indios de Mayaguez. En 1984, mami pudo vivir en persona un partido de los Mets en el Shea Stadium por primera vez. 

Mom loved baseball and was the ultimate Indios of Mayaguez fan. In 1984 mom got to experience a Mets game at Shea Stadium in person for the first time. 

My Dogs Are Barking

The phrase "my dogs are barking" is an old American idiom that means your feet are tired, aching, or hurt. I've been living and managing Rheumatoid Arthritis since 2009. 

I am 70 years old and for the last few years I have been looking for a pair of comfortable pair of shoes or sneakers that I could wear all day pain free. I tried many other quality brands that fell way short. Today I received a pair of Orthofeet Tilos Orthopedic sneakers. Orthofeet Tilos are by far the most comfortable and supportive shoes I have ever worn. I love these sneakers. 

Tomorrow's LOVE Park Salsa dance, with Salsa dance lesson at 7 pm, and dancing until 10 pm will really put the sneakers to the test. Wish me luck.
