This photo is taken at the same spot
as yesterdays photo. It's been a down
pour around here. River has breached
the banks, trees have fallen over due 2
saturated ground but the show must go
on. So here's the deal. Once again we're
in-between down pours, more or less +/-.
Told no# 1 the temple trip is on hold.
Then told her we're going to the m/c
field. Also told her we'd be walking in.
She looked at me then said to stop at
the village store and pickup 2 bags of
rice. I nodded ok and off we went ;-)-
The tricky part started as soon as we
turned onto the dirt/road/path. Mud
and deep rutted holes waited 4 us.
A fun slip and slide all the way in.
I knew a decision had to be made
where we take the hard left turn
into the m/c field and it's coming
up real fast. I took it and made it.
Well didn't make it to far as you
can see in this photo. Deep
water awaits us as Murphy
is grinning waiting for us
to enter his wicked trap.
And a Big Ha Ha on Murphy, we stopped.
Now don't relax yet cuz we have to get
out of here too. The whole place is
soupy quagmire plus the deep
flooded areas too. The dogs
wet bananas racing an
playing the water .
Where's The Monkey and Mr Boney you ask ?
Close by. Draw a line from Pumpkins head
to the left and a line up from the bike/basket.
See the brown spot ? That's The Monkey which
means Mr Boney Baloney is also very close by too.
The owner or manager came partway into the field.
He has a Toyota 4x4 and he too was very cautious.
I've been coming here for years and always smile
when we run into each-other. Using sign-language
I had him stop about 20 meters from us as his rig
is heavy and even with 4x4 it could get real tricky.
We laugh and jabber away for a few minutes then
he heads out after seeing the situation of the field.
I keep a close eye on the waters surface watching
for any rain drops. And soon enough small drops
started to appear. Loaded the dogs into the
sidecar and the challenge of getting out
was next on the to do list. Wasn't to
bad but it wasn't to good either.
Stopped for the rice bags then headed
home where the dogs and bike are
all hosed down. Then they are
fed and put to bed. Overall
that was a good run for
the dogs. The End.
Thank You.

Recycling system is quite simple, donate bicycle that you no longer used, which neighbour's just needed as flower pot.
...I would go for a bike ride.

1963 schwinn bicycle
my dad won this baby in a storage auction & i am completely enamored.
i can't wait to use it in a shoot/keep it for myself.
Spotted this unusual way of advertising the Vaults and the Cafe, leaning on a wall in Oxford... I love it especially the basket on the back.. Certainly would shake up your bones trying to ride it... :)
The Triumph TR5 Trophy, a classic British motorcycle with elegant lines and unmistakable character, looks right at home among the vintage transport at Shuttleworth. Introduced in the late 1940s and powered by a 498cc parallel twin engine, it earned fame as a competition machine and for its Hollywood connection—famously ridden by Steve McQueen. A fitting presence in Shuttleworth’s celebration of historic engineering and design.
It's been ages since I put up a cycle, and this is a Montreal classic. Milk crate basket and plastic bag seat cover, repainted, scratched up, loved, but the owner understands how quickly ownership can change. A history of stolen bikes has taught her not to get too attached.
