Biker Dude and I had a great time. My butt logged about 400 miles on the bike. It survived. :giggle:

Not sure of the count of the number of bikers in Fayetteville Arkansas this past weekend, but they were talking about in the hundreds of thousands. I believe it. The streets and sidewalks were so crowded Friday night I was suffocating.

Friday it was hot and sunny. I got massively sunburned. In October. Weird. Icky sweating hot day and muggy night, but at least we weren’t freezing to death, so I’ll take it.

Sunday we got up and drove to Eureka Springs, about an hour east of Fayetteville. Beautiful, scenic ride. Then we went south and back west toward home. Lots of riding (did I mention my butt barely survived?).

Really, had an awesome time. Pics after the jump. Don’t make fun of my doo rag. Biker hair is not pretty.

Biker Dude and I are taking off this morning to go to Blues, Bikes and BBQ in Fayetteville, Arkansas. We’ll be there 2 days. I’m so looking forward to this trip. And the best part is…it’s book research since the current Wild Riders book I’m working on takes place in Arkansas! :boobie:

Link here. Cool stuff. Lots of fun riding, events, ZZ Top is doing a concert there–we might try and get tickets to go to the concert Custom bike builder Jesse James from West Coast Choppers will be there. They expect about 30,000 bikers at the rally. Woo hooo!

I’m bringing a camera (we bought a new one..our other camera is too big to bring on the bike. This new one is tiny and slides right into my pocket). So I’ll post pics when we get back.

:charlie:

Where does the time go? Does it seem like life just gets busier this time of year, or is it just me? (Come on, tell me it’s not just me. Lie if you have to :giggle:)

The kids and us are adjusting to life under the same roof. Not easy on us or on them, but we’re all doing fine. They found a house they loved and made an offer. Owners counteroffered. The kids counteroffered. Now they’re waiting, certain the deal will go through, but I’m sure it’s a nail biter just trying to get things finalized. They really want this house. It’s an awesome house, too. Just perfect for them and for raising a family. Keeping my fingers crossed that all goes well. We should know within the next day or so.

The new fall television season is underway and I’ve watched…mostly nothing. Caught CSI Thursday night, taped Greys but haven’t finished watching it yet. Hard to get TV time right now. And I’m busy. *sigh*. So what’s new this season that’s great? Anyone watch any of the new shows?

Finished the draft of my synopsis for the new Berkley Heat. Then I decided to change location and some of the major plot elements, so I’m in the process of reworking it. Once I get some feedback on it hopefully today or tomorrow, I can shoot it to my editor and start cranking on the writing portion of this book. (In other words, I need to stop tweaking and start writing, pronto!)

And I think I’ll be getting revisions shortly for The Demon’s Touch from my Bantam Dell editor, plus revisions from my Samhain editor for Unwrapped, so I foresee some major juggling in my future. Time to crack the :whip:

This week, though, is definitely finish the plotline, start the book, and pray revisions don’t come too soon :giggle:

What’s on your agenda?
