ON A ROLL!!!

It's so great to know people who are doing their passion, really adept at it and are fun to be around as an added bonus. 
I'm into horizontal acceleration lately, with a little help from my friends...

Meet Great Plains Noah Nielsen...

 Noah's a biker and the owner of Great Plains Cycle Supply on N. 27th St. near Cornhusker Hwy. He just finished bringing my 1968 Honda 350 back to life, putting his magic touch to good use. It's running like a dream now, just like the good ol' days. Isn't she a beauty?

And here's Polkadot Paul Knopp...

Paul is a connoisseur of quality and a one man band at his shop on South St. right next to the Dairy Queen. He sat me down and educated me as we ordered each component, part by part...then masterfully built me this brand spanking new bicycle from scratch...by far the coolest, smoothest and fastest ride ever for me. I feel like a kid again! 






So, strap it on...
Saddle up...
And let's ride!

THEY WENT AND DID IT!!!

 A couple of great friends became one yesterday. Tyler Thomas and Mandy Haase got married!... a real joyful event all around! Everyone whooped it up big time, then went jolly on their way! I remembered to take my trusty little pocket camera along for the ride and collected a few fun pics of the event...













Blessings for life, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas!
You make a great pair!

A SEAT WITH A VIEW...

down the 3rd base line, about twenty rows up...

Take me out to the ballgame...
KC Royals vs Detroit Tigers at Kauffman Stadium, Kansas City
It's still early, but the Royals have some work to do to meet everyone's high expectations this year.
They got schooled in this home stand...

 But, what a treat to watch Justin Verlander's mastery on the mound and Miguel Cabrera's presence at the plate. Considering the precision and control required to be consistently successful in this difficult game, they've certainly got it goin' on...



So, save me a seat & I'll see you there...
I don't care if we never get back...    :^)  Tom

SIMPLY THE BEST...

Happy Mother's Day, Sriyani...
Once again...to the best mom and love of my life.
                                                              One of a kind,
