Grasshopper

?...took you long enough to figure that out...... ?

Found a beach full of colourful boats on my sunny Saturday outing. ?

Come hang out with Bagheera and the Grasshopper in the garage, as we do Bagheera's 5000km servicing. ? ?Tools, tappets and silliness! ?

I got stuck in an editing vortex today. ? My latest video has a lot of editing and many clips and I can lose track of time. It is coming along though.... ?? I've been watching a documentary on the making of Star Wars and about George Lucas, learning through osmosis....? The weather looks nice tomorrow so I will get out for a short ride, still solo. Our new tools should be here early next week so we can get my partners bike rolling again. ?

My craziest Christmas was when I first moved to the west coast, from Ontario, Canada to British Columbia. I became a rock climber and was spending my time with some interesting folk. ? For Christmas we piled into a friend's VW Van and drove up to Whistler Ski Resort in the mountains. We drove down a back road as far as the purple bus would take us and then parked it in the snow and hiked in. We had very little food, a few boxes of wine and some stuff I think you smoke. ?. We had so many toys, crazy carpets (look it up), ice axes, climbing gear, snowboards, etc.... We set up camp and for the next few days we partied and played in the snow. Good Times!! ? ohh.....then there was that Christmas with the Australians and the abandoned house that almost burnt down......and the TV that blew up......that was also a good one!

Drones are fun.....I wish we had some open space like that here to play in. Once we make it above the trees you can't see what is below on the trail anymore.... ?

I totally agree, nice light dry snow......very nice compared to the soggy snow we get around here most of the time. ?

The sun came out today so I decided to work on Bagheera, clean him up and tighten up his cylinder head cover to see if I could stop the small oil leak. ? Then I baked a pumpkin loaf for an afternoon snack! Yummmy ?

Love the looks of that bike, very adventury.... ? BUT WAIT, you have a friend with a Ford Escort rally stage car........I want friends like that. That car is gorgeous......WOW, not my colour, but nice car. ? I'll never understand why rally cars are not more popular in Canada, we have the terrain.....all a bunch of 4x4 rock crawling freaks here. Great, let's spend the day going .5km down the river bed over rocks the size of small cars.....?

We got the bearings off, but the race is stuck. Due to the bottom seal there isn't enough room to get something wedged in there to bang up the race. ? We "had" all the household tools needed to do the cutting but we sold them during phase one of "new life adventure". Now with phase two all new tools need to be carried on the bike in case this happens while travelling. So we wait for the fancy tools and hope for the best as my bike is next. ?

Ended up having a great ride around the neighbourhood today. The sun was out and even though there was some black ice in the shade, it was nice riding. Stopped to enjoy the view. ?

Hey let's leave the KLR out of this.....and those mopeds are cute......oh dear, what's happening to me ?

But wait.......I will still have fun. ? Going on a short ride anyways, something is better than nothing. Then some video editing on my new video, maybe some yard work and damn, I might even bake a loaf. ?

ohhhhh the sadness, the stupid ass bottom bearings do not want to come off the steering tube of my friend's bike, so we have had to order some tools and they are taking their sweet ass time getting here, so no going far into the backcountry for me, just not into going into the thick forest with no cell phone reception alone.... so a bit of a bummer ?

@XTreme.....I think I understand now..... ?

I think we should mix it up, a different format for a month....now, how / what exactly, not sure. ?

Looks great! ?

Wow, Pedro is running away with this month’s pic....?

ohhhhhhh what a cutie....... Hey, you could be surprised how cool black and white can be these days....

Great photos, some of the spots still look damp from the rain, so way to be adventurous! ? I would love to film there.... You should try a black and white filter on the video sometime to add some extra atmosphere..... ??

What can I say..... ? I can spot the looker's in a crowd..... ?

I love that.....? It is nice to know I am not the only strange one hanging out here. ??

Now for something completely different....Found this good looking slug on this morning's walk. ?

I have had that same idea...? Unfortunately the birds of prey and coyotes would make quick dinners out of them. ??
