What gives me energy?

Anticipation of a good day diving.

Playing music with other people.

The knowledge that I have to complete 3 tasks before I can get to do the thing I need/want to do. Hopefully that energy lasts through the tasks that need doing, so I can actually do the other thing. I’ll bet that actually makes sense to some people besides me! Example: I have a batch of shells that need processing today, so I can get to a music event this afternoon. Observing, not participating, unfortunately.

Getting the call, a friend in need.

Hopping on a motorcycle and going for a ride. Oh, hey everybody, I picked up a motorcycle about a month ago! I grew up riding dirt bikes, I climbed the hills, jumped the jumps, popped the wheelies, and in general had a great time. Had a couple of Harley’s too, as a young adult. Then I went motorcyle-less for a long time. I finally had to face up to my innate desire to ride, and got a bike. It’s a 2004 Honda Shadow Spirit, 1100cc, king/queen seat, in blue. I went and got my motorcycle endorsement, because I’m “sorta” old and freaking responsible now. So I’m all legal. But yeah, knowing I’m going to get to ride, definately gives me energy.

Coming up from a dive, and seeing the biggest, blackest, meanest storm you’ve ever seen, coming down the river in your direction, will perk you up a little bit. If you want a thrill like that I can hook you up.

So, basically, anything that feeds my adventure junkie, gives me energy 😉 So, c’mon, let’s go!
