Earache

Two more bigger trips on plan for this summer. One - up to Montana and back in July. Two - Solo trip to North Carolina and back in late August. Hope to get in some smaller, weekend type trips around here as well.

We were close to that area 2 weeks ago - that's where they had all of the alien crap in the stores. etc. Not shit to see down there and the riding sucks.

July 15th = Montana. Wyoming areas. Hope it cools down before then! Then gonna do Tennessee, North Carolina in August. Try to work in another one in September before it gets cold - no destination on that one yet.

37C in Denver this weekend - went from snow to hot as shit in a week. So I guess that was Spring then. It's a good deal cooler up here in the mountains, so it'll be crowded as shit with city people trying to beat the heat. A good weekend to stay home!

Just how your body is set up. I've never had a cold, flu or any sickness in my entire life. Don't take particularly good care of myself, either. Just lucky genetics, I guess. But if you have shit genes, you're gonna have problems.

Relatively cheap - about $650. Some of my other pistols are well north of a grand.

Speaking of gun culture..... The Glock 17 finally got here. These things are like hens teeth to find - sold out everywhere. Was lucky to find one. Hope to keep the bears and mountain lions out of the house with this one.

Finally got there! Took'em long enough. Funny, but I have yet to see the HD Adventure bike - which was what I started going to the HD places for in the first place. Oh well, Buckster got a cool shirt out of it.

Yup. From US Dept of Justice: "Today homicide is the leading cause of death among young Black men, and contributes significantly to the shortened life-span of the Black male. In about 80-90% of the cases, the Black victim was killed by another Black, and about 52% of the murder victims were acquainted with their assailant." https://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/black-black-homicide-psychological-political-perspective Yet not a fuckin' peep outta BLM about this shit.

Always amazed that the Black Lives Matter movement doesn't address black on black crime - where the majority of the murders are. Seems they can't be bothered with that.

Ahh. My mistake then. Don't see too many people drinking cider here so I didn't think of that.

That pizza looks great - with just the right toppings as well. But the beer looks kinda pissy,

Nuthin' worse than a dodgy bollock.

I can remember about 28 cents per gallon here way back when I was a kid.

I have four trips scheduled so far this summer - all about one week in duration. Although travel was never shut down here in the USA, things are back to 100% open without restrictions on seating capacity in restaurants, etc. in my area. No masks mandates, either. Right now is a good time to ride. Now if only fuel prices would come back down....

Gotta have some 'deth in there, too....

Just got 100 rounds of 9mm FMJ for $35.00 - not too bad. They only had 2 boxes, I shoulda bought them both.

Nah, I'll be fine. Lots of saddle time never made me ache at all. Maybe all of the nerve endings in my butt cheeks are old and died off.

Not yet. Snow has cleared and it's warmer now though. Hope to get out a bit this coming weekend. Headed to California coast, Oregon and points between here and there on the 28th for my first trip of the year. Would be nice to ride a bit before then !

Finally had some decent weather over the weekend and I had to babysit the school's field as the girl's soccer team did their best to make a mess of it...

I don't speak Spanish. Were they protesting tiny tits?

Just a bit of a hike to get over there to see it. Still, might be worth it.

Figures you'd get one before us. Did you see in person? Opinions?

I give up! I've been to 4 HD dealerships over the past weekend trying to see the new Pan America. None of them have it and have heard no rumors as to when it might show up. One sales guy didn't even know hat I was talking about. Got a cool shirt for @Buckster though. Size XXXXXXL, too!
