John, I just wanted to tell you again, thank you for being able to stop be East Central this evening. You gave me an inspiration in my life that I truly need. Hearing your brief about your life has given me much of the motivation I've been looking for. I my even start to follow in your footsteps. I believe I share many of the same feeling and outlooks in life. I've always had that feeling that I can't be trapped in an office my whole life, my strongest skills are in Math and Science, I have a love for aviation, and have been considering joining a branch of the military after college. I hope to find a way to keep in touch with you, because you may turn out to play a big part in my life. Thank You!!! Brad Woods p.s. I hope for friends launch on Nov 14th goes well. Thats actually my birthday.

Thank you so much for speaking at ECU tonight. Perhaps teaching at the university level is in your future? Motivating students is a very worthy goal in life. I wish you safety in your ride to FL. Watch out for the log trucks on the way to Hot springs...I counted 98 of them on my way driving there for vacation from Ada.

You looked well at the Chickasaw Annual Meeting and Festival in Tishomingo. Glad your schedule allowed the time with us your Chickasaw family. We're looking forward to reading your blogs from the road again. We also notice you taking pictures of the crowd in the parade in Tish. I bet some of those make it here as well. You're inspiring some of us middle-aged rotund fellas to get physically active again. THANKS.

John, It appears that your turtle is an Eastern Box turtle and likely is female since it lacks a flairing of the edge of its carapace. They like to stay within an area of about 100 meters. If displaced, they will try to return home and often are killed crossing roads while trying to get home.

John! Great pix once again. Enjoy your time out of the saddle for a few days. I was curious to hear your thoughts on the Solio charger. What are you charging with it? Have you been able to get enough juice from it to really get a good charge, etc. Did you consider other chargers? Thanks. Bill

Hey there John! Looks like you're having beautiful weather. Cute turtle- good name for her would be Shelly! We're having fun living vicariously through your blog. A couple of nights ago we watched the International Space Station orbiting in the night sky. It zoomed past the big dipper in no time flat- pretty incredible to see such a bright light in the heavens and imagine someone that you've met out there working on it with his wrench! Awesome!
