On the Road Again!

Today was my second day volunteering with the Kent Greyhound Rescue near where I live.  I started on Monday at 8am and spend about four and half hours feeding and playing with the small group of dogs at this location.

Once I have been doing it a while I'll see if I can start to walk them locally around the area and maybe further afield. . Sam

I guess this true for all of us.  We all have other calls on our time and so we have to basically ration everything we do to fit in with the wishes, needs of others and our environment. Although I haven't been without a motorcycle since 1978, I am very time poor when it comes to just going out and throwing a leg over one of them and taking off. Maybe with retirement time poverty will be reduced and instead of working a 40 hour week I can use some of those hours enjoying the freedom of the road from the back of a motorcycle. Mind you, my wife is already suggesting things I can do! Volunteering at the local historical society.  I would be good at that (apparently) because I like history and I have ex...
