    I don’t drink coffee. Don’t care if you do. But I do think people who “have to have my coffee,” are weird.

    I think motorcycles are cool. I totally get the appeal of feeling the road, the wind on your body, the excitement of letting it open up on a straightaway. I just don’t think I could have one where I’m at and make it to the end of the year alive. Too many fucking truck princesses and a third of the drivers here drive like dog shit.

    The highest elevation I’ve been to while hiking was just a bit over 9,000 ft. My group of four were bummed when we realized that not everyone (myself included) was gonna be able to make it to the top, as we weathered out. It was cold as fuck up there. We started seeing snowflakes coming down up ahead on the mountain. I ended up realizing that I would have become a rescue issue if I voted to go up. You live and you learn.

    How about yourself?

      I enjoy coffee but I mostly quit caffeine a few years ago so I don’t need my coffee. I do enjoy a quality water-processed decaf a couple of times a week. I like strong and black, no sweetener.

      I’ve owned a few motorcycles and technically I still do but it isn’t running and isn’t a priority this year. I have other things I’m investing in. You can ride anywhere if you learn to ride super defensively and wear quality gear head to foot.I want to come home to my family every time. It’s a ton of fun though and I like to go motocamping.

      I like to hike mountains but I’m currently in the eastern US so I only make it to nice mountains about every other year. The Smokies have great challenging hikes but they’re no fourteeners. I know that number doesn’t make sense to metric people. I’ve hiked seven mountains over 14k feet, a few of them more than once. The tallest is Mount Whitney in California, the highest point in the contiguous 48 states. I’d like to travel to climb something taller. I’d like to also climb Mount Rainier even though it’s a little shorter, just for the winter mountaineering. I already own snow shoes, crampons, Ice axe etc. I’m getting older so it’s getting higher on my bucket list.
