One of Wade's favorite quotes is:""Always make your learning bigger than your experience." Dan Sullivan, Strategic Coach "Courage is the capacity to go from failure to failure - without losing enthusiasm." Winston Churchill "Don't wish for an easier life, wish for more capability to ease elegantly through life." James Ray "Don't wish it was easier; wish you were better. Don't wish for less problems; wish for more skills. Don't wish for less challenges; wish for more wisdom." Jim Rohn "Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant." "A champion is someone who gets up, even when he can't." "The ultimate measure of a man (or woman) is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." Martin Luther King "To do right is wonderful. To teach others to do right is even more wonderful—and much easier.” by Mark Twain “I have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it.” Harry S. Truman “By Endurance We Conquer” Earnest Shakleton “Optimism is true moral courage.” Earnest Shakleton “There are no such things as unrealistic goals, only unrealistic time frames.” Power of Focus “Let others lead small lives, b...Expand for more
ut not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else’s hands, but not you.” Jim Rohn “You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, “I have lived through this horror, I can take the next thing that comes along.” You must do the thing you think you cannot do!” Eleanor Roosevelt "I choose not to be a common man. Me, it's my right to be uncommon if I can. I'll seek opportunity, not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen--humbled and dulled by having the state look after me. I want to take the calculated risk, to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed. I'll refuse to live from hand to mouth. I'll prefer the challenges of life to the guaranateed existence. The thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of Utopia. I will never cower before any (human) master nor bend to any (supposed) friend. It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid, to think and act for myself and face the world boldly and say, "This I have done (by God's grace and through His power)." President Theodore Roosevelt (paranthesis added)". More about Wade:"A Christ-centered, happily married, proud grandpa in San Diego. I'm on your side. I strive to show up on time. I fight to do what I say I'm going to do. I will not quit. I say thank you when I'm done. If I mess up, I will admit it & FIX it if I can. I started my own Mortgage business 16 years ago in Vista, CA. I have been married to Karen for 37 years. We have 4 children, (3 girls and 1 boy) ages 28 to 36. They are all married. We have 2 granddaughters, ages 8 and 13, and two grandsons, ages 13 months and 10 months.".

We ate like kings, carned asada for dinner and pork chops for breakfast.
Most of us who rode ended up looking like this guy, in some form or another.
The loot I won as winner of the Poker Run, four 10s.  Pure luck, but I enjoyed it anyway.
