I wanted to ride around and visit the various beaches in Southern Ontario....instead I stayed home and slept on my week off haha. So ya, I can definitely put that in the "didn't get to do" list.

The "new" thing for me...I started riding in March. Oh and I rode my bike to a golf course haha.

CC Cowboy · August 30th, 2010, 06:39 AM

I went to the beach almost everyday, while I was home.

I didn't ride too much, yet (riding season is just starting).

For the 2nd year in a row, I haven't been able to organize a Jeeping trip to Uwharrie.

ally99 · August 30th, 2010, 08:25 AM

In Ga, summers end in late July as kids go back to school the first week in August.

New - painted the house and conquered my unknown fear of climbing roof high on a ladder.

Didn't get to - Go on a beach trip we had planned. On the bright side, we did get a camping trip in the mountains on the bike...TWICE! :-)

drowe531 · August 30th, 2010, 08:35 AM

New - Went skydiving for the first time. I now plan on getting my skydiving license.

Didn't - ride nearly as much as I wanted to. I took 2 grad school classes this summer which limited some of my free time.

Blackwidow · August 30th, 2010, 01:34 PM

new- got my motorcycle permit, license and a motorcycle.

didn't- camping at the beach.

Rosie · August 30th, 2010, 02:33 PM

new - got my motorcycle permit, license and a motorcycle
re-done the entire flooring of my house

didn't - water rafting, maybe next year

Sailariel · August 30th, 2010, 02:40 PM

New: Became Chairman of the Board for The Belfast Soup Kitchen which was in danger of closing due to lack of funds. Not an issue anymore. Did want to take a tour of New Brunswick---just did not have the time. Maybe next year.

Fun David! GREAT pics!
We did this once too. Hubby got his balls racked and I got a bit of motion sickness, but it was SOOOO worth it! We'd like to go again one day (him with a cup and me with Dramamine!)

spooph · August 30th, 2010, 05:26 PM

I'll check back here in about a month... summer aint over yet!

revstriker · August 30th, 2010, 06:17 PM

Didn't really do anything new. Didn't take a vacation, and worked too much.

What I didn't do was hang out in the pool that much. Seemed like every weekend there was something going on. Still have at least two more good months of pool weather, so I'm still hoping...

Also didn't ride as much as I wanted to. Combination of the temps being in the triple digits all the time and being too busy.

CC Cowboy · August 31st, 2010, 06:43 AM

Summer never ends here. The weather just gets better for bikes.

vet415 · September 4th, 2010, 03:19 AM

New-Took another position at work and FINALLY getting back on dayshift!

Not-As some others, didn't make it to the beach, but making up for it, heading down to St. Augustine for a week in 2 weeks!

Big_Guy · September 5th, 2010, 03:34 PM
