Mud on the Tires

Always carrying my little walkie talkie I heard my mom say “Dinner in twenty dear.” Repeating back a giggled, “Roger that mom.” I began the long and exhausting pedal home. Occasionally my tire would get stuck in the mud and I would have to get off and push. Finally arriving home my mom yelled, “Where have you been mister? You are ten minutes late.” As hungry as ever I ran to the kitchen table and quietly ate. During dinner, my mom began to explain how…

They park their car on the side of the dirt road in Egypt. Howard Carter opens up his door and gets out. As he gets out he trips on a rock, and yells “It’s dang 1933 and i’m still tripping, im just looking for a tomb!” He gets up and proceeds to find the sacred cheeseburger. He has worked 31 years in Egypt just to find a bun with squared meat and cheese on it. He wants to discover it first. The destination is 3.2 \miles away. He will have to drive to it, but the road ahead is dangerous. Flying…

number of discarded vehicle parts lied strewn about the area. To our convenience, a few of those parts were wheels which worked well as makeshift fire pits. Therefore, with the forested walls of the valley to supply our slightly damp fuel, a rubber tire surrounding a well-rusted rim to contain our small-scale experiments with the art of arson, and, of course, a can of Axe body spray to ease the wood’s ignition, we were ready to enjoy our campfire. Brendan, whose red, curly hair, like wisps of…

Dirtbikes Are Good For Your Health Throughout my years of riding and racing dirtbikes throughout the great throughout the United states as sweat is pouring from every inch of my body with muscles so fatigued that there seems to be a disconnect from my mind. This usually comes from an individual that has not experienced the effects of the mental and physical duress during racing. For decades motocross riders have been pushing the limits of a human body to perfect the art of riding, yet this…

Cross-trainers Combine elements of treadmills, stair-climbers, cycles, and cross-country ski machines. Some machines include arm resistance to work both the upper and lower body. Like ski machines, they require some coordination and may tire you faster than other machines, but they give a very thorough aerobic workout along with some resistance training. Workouts Heard of the 7-minute workout? How about Tabata? Both are just a few minutes. The trick is, you work harder than you thought…

early '50s. On one front, freshly replaced and fortified floor boards ,tried with only partial success, to keep out porcupines but these determined pests still threatened. For them, plywood was meant to be eaten. And so was rubber. Carefully placed tires bumpers on the side of a dock were just as carefully eaten by avoiding the nails, leaving bits and pieces of mangled rubber at the bottom of the lake. The second front was the leaky roof with another indomitable spirit. Jane filled buckets of…

wagons and let the corn pour out into the augers below. This would have been nothing out of the ordinary… if the tractor I was driving did not have duals on it. Alas, it did and that left me with about six inches between the wall of the bay and the tire. Taking it slow, I pulled forward until the worker signaled me to stop. He unloaded the wagons. After he was done, I pulled out of the bay and back onto the scale for the last…

“I am a Spartan!” Aroo! Aroo! Aroo! Running in place, not quite sure how to mentally prepare, I awaited my turn. The crowd was cheering as the MC shouted. “What is your profession?” “I am a Spartan!” I chanted with my fellow racers. The mantra of the race was supposed to motivate us for what was to come. A burst of energy soared through me as I sprang forward with a giant leap. Thunk! I had literally hit my first wall. It was taller than it appeared. I grasped tightly to the edge,…

Has “new” country music or “pop” country music redefined country music by overcoming the main stereotypes or has it become a completely new genre? Country music has a longer history than most people realize. It dates back to around the 1920s when people started taking old tunes that their grandparents brought from their homeland, and combining them with a version of African American Blues. Even though this genre has had a longer time to evolve than some of the newer genres of today, if you were…
