Monogram MG-TC 1/24 Model

Monogram MG TC model I saw one of the guys in the MGTD Replica Forum building a vintage 1977 Monogram die-cast and plastic 1/24 model of an MG TC and I thought that since there won't be much riding any time soon it would be nice to spend sometime building one as well. Locating one wasn't hard.  A search on ebay turned up several examples at around $10.00 so I choose the best sounding one...

Gogoro Scooters

The Tesla of scooters, claiming 0 to 30 in 4.2 seconds and a top speed of almost 60 mph this scooter would be the ticket for urban types.  It is powered by batteries that are supposed to be able to be swapped at refill stations that Gogoro plans to set up in urban centers around the world.  Sounds like a fun scooter but who knows what the initial cost will be. &nb...

The Twelfth Day of Christmas - The Feast of the Epiphany of the Lord

Snow!!!!  Schools did not close and I was supposed to go to work but I could not get the Camry out of the bottom of our hill and actually went off the road trying.  No big deal, I was able to rock it out but I was unable to climb back up the hill to get back home.  I parked in the lower lot and walked up the hill back home to call out from work....

The Eleventh Day of Christmas - The Feast of Saint John Neumann

Marilyn! Early day on the Feast of Saint John Neumann to attend my second day at the ALLS conference.  Met up with my friend Phillip for breakfast at Open City.  They had a really good breakfast there and it appears to be a good place to eat for lunch and dinner as well.  I saw Phillip last in July in Boise, Idaho, where we went for a couple of great rides. We talked a little...

The Tenth Day of Christmas - The Feast of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton

Il Papa e io. Work has come back and my Christmas break is over.  I had to attend the annual conference of the American Association of Law Schools in Washington, DC.   Sadly, the Feast of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton might have been a doable riding day.  There was rain in the morning, which cleared by noon, and although the day remained overcast and dark the temps shot up...

The Ninth Day of Christmas - The Most Holy Name of Jesus

The Feast of the Most Holy Name of Jesus broke colder than the day before.  No riding. I did take some time to go take pictures of an exhibition of hand carved WWII airplane models at the Easttown Library by my friend Bob Voucolo.  You can see the full set of planes in my Flickr Album he...

The Eighth Day of Christmas - The Feast of Saint Gregory Naziazen

The Feast of Saint Gregory Naziazen also happens to be my birthday.  Glad my parents never even contemplated naming me Gregory.  Nothing against all the Gregs out there, I just don't think it fits me. Part of my Christmas/Birthday presents (loot) was a Husky 3-ton hydraulic jack kit.  Something car related that I can really use to keep the MG running smoothly. Cold on the second...

The Seventh Day of Christmas - The Solemnity of Mary, Holy Mother of God

Graham at Villanova Law It's also the Feast of the Blessed Waldo but the Solemnity of Mary, Holy Mother of God sounds so much better. The temps were much better on the first day of 2015 so my stepson and I took advantage of that to get two rides in on the MG.  Our first ride was out on my regular commute route to work because I needed to bring some things in to my office.  We did that...

The Sixth Day of Christmas - The Feast of Saint Sylvester I

Susan Graham on the cover of Opera News Another bright, blue, beautiful day but with temps down in the 20s so definitely no riding for the the Feast of Saint Sylvester.  However, my wife, stepson, and I did go out to see Mezzo-soprano Susan Graham perform with the Philadelphia Orchestra, Yannick Nézet-Séguin - Conducting, at the Kimmel Center.  They were amazing, she was awesome....

The Fifth Day of Christmas - The Feast of Saint Egwin

Cycle Gear, Cherry Hill, NJ Bright, blue, and beautiful but down in the high 20s.  Way too cold for my taste so no riding on the Feast of Saint Egwin.  I had to go to the airport to pick up my stepson so I took the opportunity to go out to Cycle Gear in Cherry Hill, NJ, and get some gear.  The zipper on my left boot has come apart so it my present boots have needed replacement for...
