Quirky Is Important

What you don’t know is that I’ve been having a helluva time uploading some pictures to this blog. Apparently there’s a little glitchipoo in communication between Apple (this laptop), the iPhone (my camera), and WordPress (this blog software). But our hero (and nephew) Jerod stopped by for dinner yesterday, and after dinner he FIXED IT! I am so happy. Sometimes it takes a computer genius to get us rolling again. 

Jerod is the genius who will also get the Two Honey’s website kicking butt, too…once those bees get us some honey. 

Don’t forget…you’re looking for something awesome to put on my badge bar. Keep your eyes peeled. Pay what you have to, and I’ll reimburse you. I envision a rotating display of quirky.

My Badges Are Better Than Your Badges

Yes, Reader, I rode my scooter in the rain. One thing I’ve learned is that if I cancel a ride because it looks like rain, then I miss an awful lot of great rides in the rain.

Below are pictures of our blinged-out scoots…mine is the white one, and Jim’s is the orange one.

Once we finished installing the badge bar and the badges, Jim slipped into his back room and emerged with that cool old red “Yeh Man” sign and drilled some holes in it and put that sweet sucker on his scooter. Now we’re in the thick of a badge war. He started it, but I do love a good game of one-upping. So, Reader, if in your travels you should come across an eye-catching thingy that might look spiffy on my scooter, please get it to me. I want it.

P.S. I wrote this entire post—including uploading the pictures—from my iPhone. Sweet.

Bling Bling Bling

I’m supposed to ride one of my Vespas to Waynesville, Ohio this morning (it’s only about 30 miles from here) so my scooter friend, Jimmy, can help me pimp my ride. I think I told you a while back that I’d ordered some badge bars and some nifty badges (all from the UK) for both of our scooters. We ride some to-die-for scooters in the first place, but this bling stuff is so danged cool…you’re gonna freak out when you see it all sweetened up. No one around here has anything like this. We’ll be making some waves soon.

But it’s RAINING, and I don’t like to ride that darned scooter in the rain. Especially not on the roads I’ll have to ride to Waynesville. Shit. 

I usually love the ride to Jimmy’s shop (I love stopping at McDonald’s on the way there and eating a sausage-and-egg biscuit and drinking McDonald’s coffee and reading the paper). Jimmy owns Scooter Source; he re-builds and repairs vintage scooters. We abide by that I-like-you-because-you-like-me rule…we are big fans of one another. And we get somewhat giddy thinking of our blinged-out scooters. I was a bit worried about drilling a hole in the leg shield to attach the bar, but Jimmy said, “Liz, they’re just scooters.” I’d forgotten. They’re supposed to be hilariously fun. Look out. It may be worth my riding in the rain.
