Focus on the Future!!!

At time things seem pretty F@cked up

and things don't seem to make sense,other time things are answered in time. one of the new things I have been doing is trying to wait to react at least 48 hours. work on the problem with thought and time not just jump at it and fail because when you react with a reaction and not your mind and a plan things seem to just blister into a bigger cluster of sh@t and not really turn out at all.

Example: I tried to solve all of my marriage problems at one time when in reality it was not something I could control at all it was not in my control and after time things fell into place not the way I thought but in a way I never really anticipated I lost a marriage and gained a new perspective on life it was not about me at all and a 10 year old was the one that made that very very clear to me she was the one who had the least control the most to loose and she was the one who had the answer it was love love for me love for he mother and love for her family and she was the one who said it will be OK I love you and god loves you it will all work out .

how in the would did she Know things i did not even know and somehow i knew she was right and she was she taught me that the marriage I thought was something that would never die because she was made from it and she would live longer than it would ever last so all of the good of my marriage was wrapped up ion a 90 pound bundle named Carrissa so in some ways it would live forever not as i had planned but in a way and in a person at times when i was married I took for granted I even said at one time Marriage is forever and kids are temporary I know now marriage is temporary but the kids will out live you so love them like you love yourself because when your gone they are all that remains of what you were and who you were so make it your priority and make it the best the very best you can.

How Things change and how you adapt!

A lot has happened since my last post, Tom and I have not talked in over a Year.
Larry has Past away.I got a Divorce. Got laid off Got a new job laid off again, figured out how to date
lost over 60lbs and gained back 40 the hotel Closed Club Max and I have had a new girlfriend for over a year. Wow were do I start.

Good bad or ugly!

Good ,bad or ugly (based on feedback already given) I had a great time. Hats
off to Rob and Karen, as well as Tom for leading us around for 3 days and the
Mob, for their participation too. So what if everything wasn't perfect? It's what
you make of it that matters. I gained some new friends and I hope to be
scootering around with them for a long time. John

I think John summed up Scooterpalloza, In three words."Good Bad Ugly"

First I want to thank my wife, She truly is the love of my life. And she is so great at almost everything. Without her my life would be less than half she makes up for all my faults and she still stick by me through it all. She Rocks!

As for scooterpalooza the good. The new members they seem to be great people and will add allot to our group. let's hope they feel welcomed and want to join us .

Also some old friends are back Geneva and her husband are really nice people. And Al always makes me feel happy, his smile is wonderful and he has Wisdom and knowledge, of people that must come only with age. I think he is a great man.

A1 scooters Rocks there new scooter line is very respectfull and a lot better than the line he sold before. It will make his life allot easyer and his customers happy. plus now we can recommend, him more to potential scooter purchasers. I feel our club would fail without his support "Thanks Erik".for all your support.

Next The bad ,first of all Karen and I tried to get support .from some of the club members. But the cold seems to make them hibernate. and lack of participation breeds, discontent and lack of progress, Leeds to procrastination and finally. Why should they try no one seems to care . so they give up and think why should we tryat all.

Thankfully It's warm now and they are awake and things are moving forward again. my frustration is fading and soon, all will be well again we have a couple of cool rides, planned for the summer .with Tom and Sarah I hope things will return to the way they were in February soon. learning to be a good friend is harder and easyer than it seems sometimes. I will try to look at it from their point of view more often .and not make them wait on me as much.

And finally The ugly the event in Hyde park got my goat. the Sobs and I still haven't got things worked out sometimes I feel I should just move on. But It is still bugging me and It's been 2 years Now. I will delegate the relationship with them for someone other than me so it wont bring me down.or just move on.

Next Waiting for input, is very very frustrating. Next year i will set a date and time and just go, with it good, bad or ugly. Marketing is the key word for me in the rest of 2008-2009 let's make it happen. become a leaner, meaner, fighting machine. Delegate better and lead at work and in life succeed ,with a positive attitude and make a positive result."Become a better dog".

I will strive to stop the drama in my life. And make them the reason they fail not because, I was involved. Make my life and my friend's better and succeed.

Fly with the eagles hang out a little less with the turkeys. or at least be a really awesome turkey until next time ,

peace love and scootering is all I need. Rob

Scooter Tag!!!!!!

Scooter Tag: (Boise).

The Rules: * The boundaries could be the Middleton, Eagle, Lucky Peak, Prison, Meridian to Garitty, and Bogus Basin - half way up. * To start, someone posts a photo of their scooter with a landmark, sign, etc. Clues may be given along with the photo. * Individually other participants ride to the same place and get a photo with THEIR scooter at the same/similar spot. * The first person to "tag" the photo by posting their photo with their bike gets to post the next photo for people to find. * If no one is able to identify the tag, the poster can give progressively easier clues until someone finally says "AHA!" though please don't post the location of the tag until after someone else has posted their picture. The hunt is part of the fun.

Vespanomics.

Here's a quick course to get you "up to speed" on Vespanomics and why we're so passionate about it.
If you want to graduate to the next course level, visit http://www.vespanomics.com/ to get more information, access surveys and studies and other materials on the subject.
So, what is Vespanomics? In a nutshell, it's the satisfaction and exhilaration Vespa owners feel, knowing they're:
Saving money on gas
Did you know that if Americans were to switch just 10% of their total mileage to scooters, they would save roughly $42 million on gas and consume 14 million gallons less fuel PER DAY (based on $3/gal average).
Lowering Carbon dioxide emissions
If Americans were to switch just 10% of their total mileage to scooters, carbon dioxide emissions could also be reduced by 324 million pounds per day.
Decreasing traffic congestion
Vespa's compact body style takes less space on the road and allows you to breeze through heavy traffic.
By shifting the daytime vehicle mix to 80 percent cars / 20 percent scooters in the Manhattan (New York City) Central Business District (stretching from 60th Street to the lower tip of Manhattan), there would be a total decrease in delay of more than 4.6 million hours per year - which translates to time savings of nearly 100 working hours per person annually.
Fashionable yet classic
Vespa is THE iconic Italian brand. For over 60 years, Vespa has helped define what is cool in fashion, music and film.
Vespa's celebrity fans include Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Hudson, James Gandolfini and many, many more.
