Update, Google Me, seriously

Ever so randomly, if you Google "Andy Rodriguez" and "Motorcycle" you get this web page...

In fact, there are probably a lot of words you can Google in combination with my name, but I'm not sure I want to guess where they end up.

However....

I am now forever linked to Guerrilla Drive In, the John Young created happening here in West Chester. Giving credit where credit is do, he does all the hard work, he spends all the money, it's just that when I go to watch the movies like any other member of the secret society of GDI'ers, I give John a hand, since I was A/V qualified at South Lake Elementary School in Titusville Florida, circa 1974 to 1978.

The last time I was in the paper was when a reporter came to the above mentioned school to get our take on the 1976 election between Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter. I think I indicated my preferences for dictatorships, since when asked "how long should the president's term be?" I answered something along the lines of "he should be president as long as he's doing a good job."

Yikes!

Anyway, shout out to John Young, congratulations for getting the recognition you so richly deserve for all the hard work you put in to entertain your friends both old and new!

Memorial Day Ride

Hey all,

Just a quick note, it was supposed to be a 3 day weekend, but I had to work somewhere in between the days off, so I tried to cram in as much as I could within the time that I did have off. One of the cool things that happened was running into fellow West Chester Blogger Dr. Zibbs from That Blue Yak at Chipolte. I think we were both craving a burrito at the same time.

So, on my agenda was to check out another airport, this time it was Pottstown Limerick Airport, not nearly as mom and pop as the Pottstown Municipal Airport, but an interesting place, especially given it's proximity to the Limerick Nuclear power plant. I don't know if there are guys standing around with Stingers defending the reactors, but I think you might want to avoid any overflight of the place.

That's a King Air F-90 heading west, the cooling towers are further away than it seems...

By the way, the drive from Pottstown, through Limerick, to Phoenixville is a nice drive.

On Monday, I got on the scooter to tool around first by kicking off the day with breakfast at Market Street Grill. In so many words, not to shabby a place for food anytime, like a diner, but just infinately better.

Now early on in my scooter ownership, I figured taking it out on the twisty, winding, and hilly roads just to the west of West Chester would be out of the question what with the 49cc engine struggling underneath a fat guy that tends to make it pretty anemic going up hill. But you know I said what the heck, let's go check out the Northbrook Canoe Company, the place John Young is always talking about, because that's only 6 miles from town, and riding to work is at least 2x as far, so hard could it be?
Well it turns out that it worked out great, precisely because of the twisty, winding, hilly roads, nobody is going terribly fast, so I didn't feel like I was holding up traffic, and so I made it down to the Canoe company, walked around, and took some photos and then found my way to the Northbrook Marketplace, another John Young recommendation, before turning my way towards home, but not before taking another video of the kinds of roads we have around here, which are pretty sweet, if you ask me.
