Tagged and a new Toy
Jade Lady tagged me a while back and I’m just now getting around to posting.
Here goes…. 7 random/weird things about me:
1. As a teenager in the 80s I was a huge rock fan…. still am… (Metallica, Whitesnake, Van Halen, GNR back then. These days it’s Foo Fighters, Velvet Revolver, etc…)
Anyway, the weird thing is I got into acoustic and bluegrass music later in life and oddly enough spent a couple years in a bg band.
2. I raced BMX bikes when I was a teenager. Only a couple dozen races and all local, but man…..THAT was freakin fun.
3. I love Mountain Dew. High fructose corn syrup and all.
4. I taught myself to ride my bike backwards when I was a kid. I haven’t tried it in about 25 years. I’m gonna have to try it now….
5. I grew up in a very small town…..population of about 800.
6. My personal favorite recovery drinks are margaritas (plural for a reason). Fruit, salt, carbs, sugar, water……what else do you need?
7. Despite number 6 and most of number 1, I am a Christian.
We got a new toy/camera tonight. Our old camera took a plunge into a cold glass of Ovaltine a few weeks back and never recovered. The details are a bit sketchy, but according to KJ, it just fell in.....really.
Anyhow, we ended up replacing the old Kodak with a new Cannon. It's a pretty cool little camera. I'm still figuring out the different features. Look forward to lots of Spring pictures coming soon.....

Aha, another musician among us. One of these days, I'm going to get back into playing music. I spent most of my childhood doing so and miss it.
And I'll stick to riding bikes forwards, thank you!
A BMX Mountain Dew Margarita Rock'n Roller, huh? Loved the read.
And congrats on the new camera, no matter the circumstances (gees - do they still even make Ovaltine?)! I also just recently got a Canon powershot SD870 and love it - in fact, that's what I used in my latest post - movie clip - back in the saddle. So, if u have one with movie capabilities, I'd love to see the bike trick!
Awesome. Yea, I can ride my bike backwards too. I think I will tri that way sometime next year ;-)
I'm a sucker for a banjo!
JL ~ Yep, they still make Ovaltine. I'm not a big fan, but KJ loves the stuff. I'll see what I can do about getting a clip up of the backwards biking.
You grew up with 800? Geesh, my high school had 1200. I wish I grew up in a small town like that!
JMom ~ The highschool I attended wasn't in my hometown. It was about 15 miles away. There were almost 500 in my graduating class.
Love your 7 things. The 80's...weren't they great?! I loved all those bands too. I am even stooping so low as to watch Brett Michaels Rock My World on VH1. (Only on long trainer rides!)
