Day 214 of my photo a day project. It was Monday and as happens, the maids came. Since I had to give them some time to work around my desk, Buddy and I decided it would be a good time to go outside and play in the front yard for a while. Quality time is what it is all about. My photo of the day is of Buddy and me enjoying the nice day and checking out activity in the neighborhood.
August can only get better, and I know it will. Since the first day of August is Sunday, I attempted to go for my Sunday ride. Since an out of town friend said he wanted to meet me at Gu Gu Sushi to try the new baddog roll, I decided to keep my destination within 100 miles. Unfortunately, since it was such a nice day, everyone in Los Angeles County decided to hit the road also. Add a few scattered brush fires and the traffic becomes unbearable. Have the friend flake out on sushi and I had the trifecta. My …
I hope no local cops read this blog. Last week I put Screaming Eagle mufflers on my new Limited. Unfortunately, for the money spent, it wasn’t really quite enough. As I have been a customer of Bartels’ Harley-Davidson for almost 25 years, Ron Bartels was not about to let me be even slightly unsatisfied. That is why I keep coming back. My photo of the day for day 212 is a very rare photo in that it has someone else on my bike. Featured is Ron on the bike with his dad, Bill in the background.
It is said that dogs are man’s best friends. Buddy would argue that men are dog’s best friends. My photo of the day is of Buddy and I enjoying the day and checking out the neighborhood.
Last night, Buddy was in obvious discomfort with severe itching. I did what I could for him, but this morning I was not convinced that I had done enough, so I called his vet to see if they could see him today. Unfortunately, they could not see him until tomorrow and I did not want to wait that long, so they referred us to another down the street. We went in and they could not find anything wrong with him. They gave him a shot of cortisone to help the itching, suspecting he had some kind of summer allergy. While …
Buddy has yet to meet a new day he has not liked. Some days are just better than others. Today is one of those days. When we went out for our morning walk we were greeted with sun shine, blue skies and mild temperatures. When we headed to the park, Buddy was beside himself as the grass seemed to have some well placed twigs buried within that made it the perfect back scratcher. Day 209’s photo of the day is of Buddy getting rid of an itch.
It is no secret that I have a sushi dependency. Unfortunately, just any sushi will not do, I have become spoiled. I was in Nobu in Las Vegas a few weeks ago and tried one of their rolls. It was okay, at best. For me, it is Gu Gu Sushi and Roll or nothing at all. Yesterday, I had the opportunity to return after three weeks of no Gu Gu. To my surprise I saw they had created a new baddog roll. It is made with cream cheese, deep fried shrimp, avocado and cucumber topped with smoked salmon, capers and …
Several months ago I started using a Wii Fit on a daily basis, well, any day that I was home anyway. A month or so ago I was pretty much forced into an upgrade to Wii Fit+. I really like this Wii Fit+ as it sets up combination workout routines that I would never consider doing on my own. I have to admit, I do believe I am seeing progress and some definition. My photo of the day for day 207 shows the progress I have made since the last full frontal pic.
Sunday, Day 206 of my photo a day, found me on the road for a nice leisurely ride. I headed up to Lake Castaic, then over to Lake Hughes and Elizabeth Lake. It was a nice day with very little traffic. Pretty much a perfect day in my book. This photo was taken on a turnout overlooking Lake Castaic and the surrounding valley.
Saturday I headed over to Bartels’ Harley-Davidson in Marina del Rey to get a replacement lock for my tour pack and a new exhaust to help improve performance of my new 2010 Limited. Turns out the lock has not arrived, so I had to settle for the new Screaming Eagle mufflers. Day 205 picture of the day is the view from the rear of the new mufflers.
