Hi all. I hope you're enjoying your weekend. I'm severely lacking in inspiration for topics. So, there probably won't be a post this week. If I don't post in the meantime, enjoy the 4th of July celebrations.

Happy Fourth of July to you also. I think your blog is excellent, and I am NOT trying to steal your audience. Red (and only once have i been able to use my name, and am stuck on anonymous
ReplyDeleteHaha! No worries. I am VERY happy to see another F/m DD blog come along. There have never been a huge number of them, but when I first started this blog, there were at least a few. It's been a long slog of blogs dying and no new ones taking their place. So, I'm very glad to see you bucking the trend.
DeleteWhat’s the name of your site?
DeleteDan: I've always been curious what region of North America you live in.
ReplyDeleteSome of your postings of descriptions of weather and terrain might suggest Northwest, possibly Oregon, Washington or British Columbia. Other postings would be more consistent with Northern New England, or possibly the Maritime Provinces.
I do notice that you often refer to US National Holidays like they were not "your own;" you wish well us Southern Neighbors as we celebrate.
So, I'm just curious, if it doesn't compromise your privacy:
Are you a Canuck (or "Kanuck" in QC)? Or, possibly a US-based Canuck, like myself?
What is your local geography, terrain and climate? (Where do you do most of your MC Adventure Riding?)
Nope. None of your guesses are even very close to right. :-)
DeleteI used to be so uptight about revealing any personal details, but in the spirit of being more open and less paranoid, we're in the Rocky Mountain West. Most of my life has been spent there or in what most would categorize as the Southwest. But, I spent a lot of time on both the East and West coasts for work, particularly northern California. My motorcycle adventure riding has also been mainly in the Southwest and the Rockies, though my intention was to expand that this year, before this accident occurred. I've become a devotee of Backcountry Discovery Routes, commonly referred to as BDRs. They began mainly in the West and Southwest, but several routes have been added on the East Coast and Appalachian areas. I'd hoped to explore some of that this year but, if I do, it's probably going to be in a van or 4x4.
When I refer to US holidays and call out that they are, in fact, celebrated by those in the US, it's a recognition that a fairly large part of the readership is not located in the US, and in particular, we have quite a few readers located in the UK and Canada. Of course, I suspect that a very large proportion of our international readership also celebrates their own independence from the British, just on different dates. Sorry Brits -- not to rub it in or anything. :-)
So this is a continuation from a comment last week around rules. It made me think and I’ve been turning it over all week. Do we practice DD mainly for behavior modification? I’m not sure that’s been the case for us, although there certainly is some of that). But I’m not sure that DD motivates me to change my behavior. I also don’t have this really figured out as to what it does more so than put my wife in charge (and get my ass spanked). Anyway, not sure if this is a topic that’s interesting for you all but it is something I’ve been thinking about.
ReplyDeleteWhen we first started DD, I do think it was about behavior modification, but that was to take place by virtue of of putting my wife in charge. So, from the beginning, both motivations were present, with behavior change as the end and my wife taking charge and spanking my ass as the means. Over time, her taking control became more of an independent motivation and end it itself. Though, behavior change is still a big part of the motivation.
DeleteA Happy 4th to everyone. My blog is here on blogspot and it details my maintenance spankings. Short, easy to read episodes with photos of the implements and a place where readers can leave questions or comments. Not meant for a dialog site, but everyone is welcome to try it.
