Tooth brushes are easily replaced...

My computer broke.

  I had lots of pictures on it.

  I had all my music backed up on it.

  Now it is dead. 

 I am using my wife's fancy Apple.  Yes it is fancy.  I just mentioned it is.  It is however, not mine.  It is like using someone Else's toothbrush, something I like to do whenever convenient; It gets the job done and tastes a little strange.  I guess it could be like riding Trevor's 1980 XS850.  It has weird brakes and turns funny, it is tricky to start and looks old school, 'cause it is.  Trevor doesn't feel that way.  It is his motorcycle.  I do not enjoy riding other's motorcycles.  I don't wan to break them.  Toothbrushes are easily replaced.

I rode to Bear lake a couple of weeks ago.  It was a very nice ride.  The Mrs. and the children went North to visit family, so I seized the opportunity and went for a long ride.  I took the long way of course.  I started up Emigration Canyon over to East Canyon to Morgan (some great twisties just before East Canyon Dam) and then over Trapper's Loop to Huntsville.  From there I continued to Monte Cristo pass (a great series of turns guaranteed to delight, don't worry about speed, all these turns are big), through Randolph and Woodruff (not necessarily in that order) then north to Bear Lake (the canyon just before the lake is a hoot with some 20 mph curves).  It was 160 miles and took 3 hours even.  I dined in stile on a picnic table behind LeBeau's:  Decent grub, burger fries and alleged Bear Lake Raspberry shakes.

    I went home through Logan Canyon (one of the finest rides around).  It was getting dark quickly, but I had enough light to see all  the rock formations, the creek and a moose.  It took two hours to return to Salt Lake.

I highly recommend this ride.
