So the Honda Element was overheating, and I was like shit, now what? So I called around, one Dealership said between $1,000 and $3,000 because they could not tell until they got in there, and then the other said with all the parts and labor it would be $1,823 and they would throw in a free oil change, and I was like that sounds like a hell of a deal! So I scratched my head and figured if those boobs working in the garage at Honda can do it in 6 hours, I bet I can do it myself. So over to O'Rileys I went, picked up the part for $74 and off I went, within the first twenty minutes of cussing at Hotel Element struggling to get the fan piece out, I knew why they charge $200 to take this shit apart, but I figured once again if those boobs at the Honda Stealership can do it, so can I, so 2.5 hours, it was out, disassembled and put back together and is up and running again! Once again, I saved $1,749 by doing it myself!
With trembling excitement and anticipation we settled down in the seats and looked out of the small viewing slit to the clearing in the trees. I was still scrabbling to get my camera out when the first bear appeared. All through the night bears kept coming and going, feeding and foraging, playing and fighting, interacting with each other, climbing trees and generally putting on a great performance for the lucky few in the hide.
We’d travelled a long way to see the European Brown Bears, and they certainly didn’t disappoint. From a former border guard station, Markku and Oili run Matinselkonen Wilds Centre, a large 6,000-hectare nature reserve right on the Finnish-Russian border. To get to this pristine wilderness we took a flight via Helsinki to Kajaani, followed by a 200km journey along almost traffic-free undulating roads cutting straight through the Finnish taiga. The last part of the journey to the main lodge was on a gravel road, and from there you were taken on a dirt track for a further 20km or so before you left the car at the end of the road and continued the last 2km on foot. The path took us through pine and birch forest and over mosquito infested swamps to the small hide in a clearing.
The bears are attracting to the area surrounding the hides (there are six hides in total, accommodating between one and nine people) by a careful programme of summer baiting. The programme has been running since 2002 and now attracts a huge number of bears from across the Russian border. Since the first season, there has only been one single night that the bears didn’t show – I am really curious as to where the bears went that night. With continuous daylight through the night during the bear season, Martinselkonen is now considered the best place in Europe to see and photograph Brown Bears.
It's time for a dark night in the Underground world! Come get heavy with us & turn the lights out until it's time to rage! Another showcase of local talent, this time held at Whiskey River Saloon, 154 County Road 450, South Point, OH 45680.

The moon was bright enough for us to see these bachelors out hunting (the flashlight helped illuminate the closest)
Arches #30
One of my favorites, due ot how isolated it was and the clouds behind helped make for a more dramatic look.
Cosmos (秋桜) began to bloom. Some of them were blown down by the gale but a swallowtail butterfly appeared out of nowhere to such nectar.

We ate dinner OUT tonight at a local Mexican place. I got to enjoy a rare drink, while Liam made a friend in the booth behind us....
Thousands of people came out and commemorate the 46th anniversary of the first Pride March with the largest Pride March in the country. This event is the largest for the LGBT community. The first March was held in 1970 and has since become an annual civil rights demonstration. Over the years its purpose has broadened to include recognition of the fight against AIDS and to remember those we have lost to illness, violence and neglect. The March is a celebration of our lives and our community.
