Mustang Monday Again

      It’s “ Mustang Monday “ again, and finishes off the first week of the new year.  I want to start the new year right by posting one of my favorite photos, and one that I’m very proud of.  It’s one of my best in recent years, from a great photo shoot trip to Zion National Park, from a few years ago. 

      I got a lot of great shots on that trip, many of which I have used many times on Facebook, Twitter, and  here in my blog .  That is a very beautiful area, with great photo background almost any direction you look. The perfect place to showcase my 2015 Mustang GT. 

Taillights

      As we go through the rest of this week, I get the feeling that we’re watching the taillights of the year moving away down the road, ready to disappear over a hill in the distance.  For better or worse, this year is almost finished, and we can look forward to making the next year better than what we just went through.

     I’ve mentioned before in my blog posts, how much I like the taillights of many cars, some of which I have owned myself. The one that has got my attention lately, is the new Bugatti W16 Mistral, that I saw posted on Twitter.  Those are some spectacular taillights.  Just what we might expect from a car of the future.

Tiger Years

      This year has been the “Year of the Tiger “ .  I wrote a blog post about it back at the first of the year.  Major changes have always happened in my life in the Tiger years of the past, through out my whole life. I wasn’t sure of what this year might bring, but, major changes did come about this year.

      We lost three of the older generation of our family in the past few months. The process of going through all their stuff, and getting their homes ready to sell, was a real “wake up call “ for me.  I started going through my own stuff, and sorting out things I could pass on to my own kids and grandkids, while we’re still alive to do it.  It has become a major project for the next few years.  We’ve already got a good start on it in the last couple months.  I can already see this is the major change in my life for this “ Year of the Tiger” 

The End in Sight

      We’re getting close to the end of another year, and if you’re anything like me, we’re wondering what the next year will be like.  What new “ craziness “ will be going on in this world? How will it affect our lives?  I plan on trying to live the best life I can, making changes where necessary.

     This is the time to re-think how we are doing things, and see what improvements are possible in the future. Health and fitness are my number one priority now, and I plan on keeping up my efforts in the next year.  Hope all my friends and family can have a great year too. 

Shelby Sunday

      As I was looking through the great car photos on Twitter today, I noticed plenty of "Shelby Sunday"  Mustang pictures. Every time, it brings back so many great memories of time spent in my own Shelby Mustang, now over ten years ago.

     Though I have owned many great Mustangs over the years, I only had one Shelby GT, and that was the awesome 2007 Shelby GT 500 that I owned for about six years. I took many pictures of that car, in many beautiful locations, and they are all important to me still.

Fond Memories in Beautiful Places

      Last month, I wrote a post about the Honda 200 X three wheeler that I owned for many years. Just last week, Facebook reminded me of a photo I posted there over ten years ago.  The fond memories of that beautiful place came flooding back.

     When I first moved to Southern Utah, over 12 years ago, I still had my 200 X, and it didn’t take long before I discovered the beautiful off-roading area known as Sand Mountain. Over the first few years living here, I would make many memorable trips out there, to enjoy the dunes, and soak in the amazing beauty of the area.

     This picture of my son Randy and me riding the dunes brings back so many fond memories of those times in that beautiful place. 

Mustang Monday

      Yes it’s Monday again, the start of the new work week, and the long list of the things we have to accomplish in the next few days. We all have those things that stress our thoughts on Monday, but for me, I like to take a little time to check out the Twitter posts, to brighten my day.  It’s “ Mustang Monday “ , and there is always a lot of great pictures posted every day.  Just enough to take our minds off the mundane tasks of everyday life.
