A one minute summary of my week in Guam, the week of October 7th. The work event went very well, thank you to all who helped make it a successful event! It must be noted that on October 8th we were hit by the emerging Typhoon Hagibis. It passed to the north of Guam, touched Saipan before hitting Japan in full Super Typhoon force! My thoughts go to all who were impacted by this strong natural disaster! In Guam we were lucky to only experience some of its force. #guam #tumonbay #tumonbeach #micronesia #marianaislands #typhoon #typhoonhagibis #gunbeachI took this photo of the World Trade Center in 1988. Looking at my work calendar today, I noticed several meetings, organized just like any other day, it’s another Wednesday. But 18 years ago to this date I was starting my work day in Columbus, OH, when I heard the news these towers were hit by two airplanes. I can never forget the feeling of irreparable loss I felt at that moment. The world has not been the same since. What have we learned from such a tremendous loss? I don’t claim to have answers. But hope we never forget all who died on that day. #911memorial #worldtradecenter #twintowers #manhattan #nyc #september11While riding in the Alvord Desert playa last week (Labor Day weekend) it was hard not to think about Jessi Combs. There were two clear marks left on the ground by something that was traveling at tremendous speed on the north south direction. Rest In Peace Jessi. I hope that what you’ve done continues to inspire more people, specially girls, to pursue endeavors, academic or not, in the areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. We all miss you, but your message will continue.

It’s a magical place, being there for a second time this year, was again a tremendous adventure. However there was a bit of a dark cloud over it considering Jessi Combs passed away in the Alvord playa a couple of days before my arrival. Jessi was on her attempt to beat her own speed record on four wheels. More on this on another post. My thoughts are with her family, friends and everyone who worked with her. #alvorddesert #alvord #alvordoregon #ktm #ktm790advr #ktm790adventure #honda #hondacb500x #cb500xadventure #cb500xrallyraid #labordayweekendFrom where I stand, this is one of the most beautiful bikes ever made. But then again, it’s mine and I’m biased. Miss riding it. #multistrada #ducati #ducatimultistrada1200 #multistrada1200s #multistradapikespeak #pikespeak #motorcycles #bikelife #adventureridingWhat to do? This 1980 Honda CX500 was meant to be a project, a brat or flat track machine. I feel a bit sad to cut through it, it is in such a great state. It rides nicely and sounds great too. Only ride it around the neighborhood until I figure out what to do with it. Nice machine! #honda #hondamotorcycles #hondacx500 #hondacx500caferacer #cafetacer #jeep #jeepster #kaiser #1967jeepster #seafoamgreen #1980honda #1980cx500Related Blogs
