Games. I don't want a pickle. Just want to ride my motorsickle.

I never did understand the need for a face photo. I heard the reasons given but those never made any sense to me. Que sera sera. Didn't they ditch you twice? Then try to make excuses for it later?

JMG replied to NMBeek's discussion 'AMRG Reorganizes' in the group Duke City Motorcyclists

Apparently AMRG hasn't changed that much. I just tried to re-join it (with a picture of my motorcycle) and got this email: Your request to join Albuquerque Motorcycle Riders Group (AMRG) was declined. The person who declined your request, Jim , ...

There's a place for "fact-based" and there are places for experience-based, anecdote-based and even simple opinion-based retorts, imho.

Profile Information

Where I Live:: North Valley

About Me:: Happily retired and enjoying learning about and doing those things I've never been able to do before. Avid reader, hobbiest beekeeper, private pilot, Master Gardener, motorcyclist, stoneware potter and presently learning how to sculpt and draw. People and friends are the important things in life.

Favorite Thing(s) About Albuquerque:: climate and long-time friends, the wonderful warmth of the tri-cultures

Relationship Status:: Married

What I'm Reading:: Usually two or three going at a time, mysteries, sci-fi, action adventure and texts on whatever I'm learning about right now, bees, potting, sculpting, etc. I've joined a couple of online book clubs to broaden my exposure to good books.

What I'm Listening To:: Very eclectic, I like almost everything except Gangsta Rap. Probably listen to classic rock and country the most.

I took up pottery after I retired, just for fun. Here's some examples. I'm working on learning to sculpt and draw now.

Income Taxes and Hummers -- If you gotta have one, it's great to have the other !

Not many folks I know are overjoyed about income tax time. The "Ides of April" tend to not be our favorite time of year. Here in the Duke City, however, we got a little golden tinge to the day. That's the day the hummingbirds return to the Burque and I don't know anyone who can… Continue

Introducing Tim O'Leary

OK, so he is just a dog and a rescue dog on top of that, which is kinda the point here. One of my wonderful companions of many years finally passed on last month. Paca, (yep, she was a rescue dog too and carried the acronym for People's Anti-Cruelty Association as her name), had been… Continue

First "Cut-Out"

I participated in my first “cut-out” this weekend. A “cut-out” is beek slang for removing a colony of bees that have taken up housekeeping in an unwanted location, as in this case, the ceiling of someone’s front porch. Honeybees need dark and dry places to build a nest and make a new… Continue

At 9:53am on October 13, 2009, Noel said…: While I haven't yet been on a ride (bike and back issues - both getting resolved) I've been looking forward to being part of the largest MC group in Albuquerque. When I returned here last November, the first thing I did was look up groups and joined all I found since rides can be sporadic. Hope this gets resolved in a way that keeps the group functioning at a high level.

At 6:19pm on April 25, 2009, Bryan Horn said…: Hello,

Writing for a friend who has a bee colony every year in his big tree in the front yard (Ridgecrest area). He does not want them as he has small children and dogs, yet he hasn't done anything because he does not want them destroyed. Any ideas on what to do? I saw them today and they seemed very active to me (swarming??). Any assistance would be appreciated....thanks...>Bryan

At 9:07pm on April 19, 2009, Iberostar said…: Whoa, how MANY bees???? Gave me the shivers - but thanks for answering my question. It never occured to me HOW people get bees in those numbers.

At 3:31pm on April 19, 2009, Iberostar said…: I saw your discussion on a swarm list. I have a couple of questions. What is a swarm list?
If I get some unwanted bees, do I call a beekeeper to relocate them?

At 8:49pm on April 2, 2009, Kenny said…: Jerry, do you know if the road from Mora to Angel Fire via Black Lake is paved? I think it's NM434.

At 1:01am on March 31, 2009, Gene Stillman said…: I thought I had joined the group but evidently not. Just joined now. My equipment is in the truck and ready. The new hive is painted and will be set up ready to go tomorrow after work. Thanks for adding me to the swarm list.

At 8:34pm on January 28, 2009, Kenny said…: Saw your comment about Hillsboro. If you ever decide to ride out there, be sure to allot some time to go further west on 152 all the way to Bayard (there's gas in Bayard). That is a great motorcycle road if you like twisties!

At 3:38pm on January 22, 2009, Sarahjmd said…: You crack me up. I had a regular pic of myself on for a while, but I like the mystery so much more! Have mac - will goof with it.

At 10:46pm on January 21, 2009, Sarahjmd said…: Thanks for organizing that meeting, and thanks for inviting me. I learned a lot and I am even more excited to get started than before. I'm working on the husband. I may have him semi convinced to let me go for it in the back yard. Maybe I can make beekeeping a "Thing" at the b&b.
