Fate or Coincidence

, , , , , , , , / 1 minute of reading /

Many years ago, I considered opening a breakfast only restaurant. I got this idea after spending a few days up in the Lake Arrowhead, Big Bear area. Something about that area made me think that if I were to do this, this would be the right place to do it. Since then, I have gone up there at least a dozen times. Each time, I wonder if I should go for it. My photo of the day for day 241 is a place I have driven by numerous times, but never noticed. It is obviously a sign, but is it …

Night Moves

When Buddy and I got on our evening walk, he generally gets more time off the leash. This is due to the fact that when we go out at night, we do it late when there is little traffic. Of course, what is lost in vehicle traffic is made up by nocturnal animal traffic. Not really sure why I have to deal with varmints in this location, but I have more varieties of critter hanging around here than Tanya does in Indiana. Day 240 of my photo a day project is of Buddy, in his perfect night gear, waiting for …

Rib Eye Time

I am a pretty good cook. I am very good when it comes to grilling on the barbecue. Unfortunately, I do not really enjoy cooking for myself, so I do not do it very often. I am a member of Sort This Out Cellars wine club, and every three months they send me a few bottles of wine. Since it was Friday, and I had received a supply of some new wines, I decided to go to the store and pick up a rib eye and fixings for a salad. I picked a rib eye because I wanted to get …

Nice Butt

Different motorcycles have different qualities that may attract me. My 1986 Heritage got my attention with the old school look and the way it fit me. My Limited attracted me with its sexy lines and color scheme. The Night Train, well, I will never forget walking into the dealership and spotting the rear end on it. It was lust at first sight. My photo of the day for day 238 is a profile of the Night Train’s rear, just after being detailed by Harley Arty. He really does good work

Dog Wash?

I do not know what it is about water, but it seems that whenever Buddy is freshly groomed he is more apt to walk through mud puddles or he will run through sprinklers. If he needs grooming he is more likely to avoid things like sprinklers. I guess he just enjoys that wet dog smell. Day 237 of my photo a day project was taken while Buddy and I were walking through the park. If you look closely, behind the mist of the first sprinkler you can see the white tip of Buddy’s tail. He was pretty well soaked by …

Harley Arty

Shortly after purchasing the new Limited, okay, on the way home from purchasing the Limited I stopped by at some friends’ home to show off my new bike. While there, one of their neighbors came by. As it turned out, he makes his money by detailing Harley-Davidsons and his nickname is Harley Arty. I took his business card and made a mental note to remember him for the future. When I came back from Sturgis, the bike was in a word, filthy. About 10 pounds of dead bugs and lots of road grime made it clear that if I was …

A Late Night Visitor

I had planned using a different photo for day 235 of my picture a day project, known as Project 365 in some circles. I was going to talk about the new vacuum cleaner I got and how I purchased it so Tanya would have everything she needed to keep the house spotless, and I could get rid of the maids. It would have been mildly amusing at best. Before I got around to posting the entry, Buddy and I went for a walk. When we got home, Buddy started going nuts. It was quite dark, so I could not see …

Morning Walks

, , , , , / 1 minute of reading /

Every morning and every evening that I am home, Buddy and I go out a walk a mile or two. It is said that a walk in the neighborhood is like reading the local paper for dogs. If this is true, Buddy is getting his fill of The Daily Breeze, the LA Times and USA Today. On top of that, we get to meet new dogs and see some interesting items along the way. That is why I bring a camera with me for every walk. My picture of the day for day 234 was taken on our morning walk. …

10th Street and The Strand

Back in the day, when I was young and studly, I used to have a pretty sweet work location. I did telephone installation and repair down at the beach. In fact, all the marinas and docks in the area were under my sole control. The guy that had the job before me made it look like it was really difficult. Since it was not, I made it look really easy and management just figured they should leave me alone and not distract me. I had it pretty good. Today I went to see Linda to get another haircut. Afterward, I …

Another fine day in paradise

Whenever I go away for a while, there is one thing I really look forward to upon arriving home. The weather. On my last day riding home from Sturgis I had to get up early so I could leave Las Vegas before it got too warm. The reason for this is that no matter how hot Las Vegas is, Baker and Barstow are probably going to be hotter. At least in the summer. It is exactly the opposite in the winter. Even though I left at 8:20 AM, the coolest temperatures I dealt with were in the upper 90’s, and …
