going to get the paper saturday morning - oh, and trying to find our sad old mailbox, which has fallen victim to the township snow plow. again.
From an old slide. A few days of blizzards left huge amounts of drift piled against, through and around the tractors and caravan trains. Here is the start of the process of digging out the tractors from the huge amounts of snow that accumulated every time we had a blizzard - typically twice weekly on our return trip.
Super Bowl Sunday in West Yellowstone starts with the International Pedigree Stage Stop Sled Dog Race, The race is over 350 miles in eight days. It is similar to the Tour de France in that it stops in a different destination at the end of each stage.
The first few feet at the start is when the dogs lunge and strain to get the sled and it's load moving. As the sled begins to move the musher climbs aboard and the dogs strain once more. Then the race rhythm takes over and off they go.
Essential Travel Only - Gimpo's M25 25 Hour Spin March 2021
“Take one day, rest a while, and pretend the world is just for you"
“They could do with a bench here” - Lewis Greifer
Sometimes I do things I don't fully understand. Gimpo's M25 25 Hour Spin remains top of the list.
Sat at a table at Thurrock Services some years ago, sometime around 5am, Gimpo couldnt work out how many years and how many M25 25 Hour spins he had done, or planned to do. I sat and listened as Tim told him to count on his fingers: 1997 was Spin year #1. Spin year #25 would be 2021. Gimpo looked utterly confused by it all.
The plan this year was to plant a bench to mark 25 years of Gimpo's M25 25 Hour Spin. “Benches are about functionality: they need to be used. Unlike a gravestone, a bench shows that somehow you’re still part of the world, you have a purpose and a function.”
But this year, like last, was a global pandemic and respect had to be shown to anyone who may have lost friends, family and loved ones. We all masked up and met outside on the tarmac in the main carpark at Thurrock Services, between J30 and J31 off the M25.
This year was assembled under the guidelines of "Essential travel, for work purposes only." There will be more spins in future to make up for lost time, but for now, the memorial bench had to be planted. On the M25 Gimpo is the artist, and he had decided the bench was going in by any means necessary, safety first, of course.
Gimpo was very excited about his new Van, it was leaking water but other than that it was in good shape. It was a classic Ford Transit panel van which he had bought online a few days ago from someone in Worcester.

Here are the hard workers busily digging the grass out of the soil. The results are worth it I hope.
First we used a strimmer to cut the grass right down to ground level (that wasn't too difficult). Next we started removed the turf, this bit was a lot harder. Digging, shaking off the soil, putting the grass and roots in the composting boxes (at far end).
The boys were brilliant, we were on the allotment for almost 6 hours, and there were only a few cries of "can we go home now"!

Despite the fact that there are not one but two festivals going on at the time, someone's obviously much more interested in digging for bait. It's evidently not a team sport.
