I was out on the Rio Grande at Beaver Point last month when I heard motorcycles racing on I-25. The motorcycles were very loud and very clear. I recorded the motorcycles, wrote and recorded the song, “All Revved Up”, and I finally got around to borrowing enough video snippets from YouTube to make the above music video. Below is a map of where I was standing and approximately where the motorcycles were racing on I-25 when I made the recording.
Sound carries very well from the Interstate to Corrales. Often the cars, trucks, and motorcycles sound like they are on the ditch bank 500 feet from the house.
All Revved Up By Timothy Price
[Verse 1] I’m all revved up Yeah! So cool On my motorcycle No fool Donuts, wheelies, smoking tires Screamin’ like a demon shot out of hell fire
[Chorus] Centerline slalom whiteline fever Lighting fast, intense street sweeper Dragging demons, cheating the Reaper
[Verse 2] Black leather jacket Is so cool Motorcycle boots No fool Don’t you wanna record all the action Flawless riding satisfaction
[Chorus] Centerline slalom whiteline fever Lighting fast, intense street sweeper Dragging demons, cheating the Reaper
[Bridge – Rap] Revving my engine while I’m sitting at a red light Greenlight, smoking tire the power grab is out of sight Three-second speed rush slamming on the brakes tight Revving my engine, oh those vibes feel so right.
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3] Red lights flashing That’s not cool One-hundred-sixty You fool Tucked on the tank, giving it my all Still got caught, slammed up against the wall
[Outro] Redneck motha in the clink, err Slowpoke and depressed cell sweeper Lonely, longing, befriends the Reaper
The Harvest Moon rose yellow. I was still in August and David caught my error. Thanks, David. The full moon is on Saturday, September 10th, but the moon does not pass the meridian tonight. Therefore, is close enough for Rock and Roll to be considered full of itself.
Dawn
The Corn Moon rising at sunset.
The Harvest Moon at dusk.
A gas balloon was hanging in the southern sky. The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta starts on October 1st. There are 768 Balloons registered to fly this year.

Jupiter and three of its moons at 1:30 am this morning. I woke up and 1:30 am and remembered I had left the drip systems on, so I got up and turned off the drip system and photographed Jupiter. I forgot my iPhone, so I didn’t get any wide-angle photos of the sky at 1:30 am.

There are only 69 days left until Halloween, and Lowe’s has you covered! I walked into Lowe’s to buy some supplies for a project and was greeted by ghoulish displays.
The big guy is ten or twelve feet tall. He lights up, flashes, wiggles, and growls when you step on the button.
Spunk doesn’t give a paw about Halloween.
Loki and Glenda think they define Halloween. Silver and Spunk could care less.
It started raining in the middle of the night and rained on and off all day. We got a total of 0.22 inches of rain. The clouds started breaking up at sunset giving us some color before bedtime.
There was an alignment of the moon, Mars, and the Pleiades this morning, but the thin cloud cover almost blocked out Mars and the Pleiades in the shots where the moon has details. Click on the photos to see more details.
