A very rare sight - a sign at a former petrol/ gas station, promoting "Two Stroke Service". Having owned at least one two stroke motorcycle continuously for 46 years, I can't recall ever having seen a sign like this previously. I assume that it dates back to a time when the two stroke oil was mixed in the petrol tank. When I had my BSA Bantam I had to use that method but it meant I had to carry a bottle of oil round with me all the time. Presumably a service station offering this, removed the need to do this. Most people think of two stroke motorcycles but there have been a few cars, too. Saab, Wartburg etc (I can’t think of any others but there must be some).

  

More recently manufactured bikes with two stroke engines have a separate oil tank and a pump mixes the oil with the fuel - but saying that, there aren't too many mainstream large capacity two stroke bikes being made now because the general idea is that they are “dirty/‘orrible/noisy/smelly/unreliable” (delete or tick/check as appropriate) things.

Cape May, New Jersey

I had a stroke April 26, 2022. My right side wouldn’t move. What's worse I had aphasia. I lost most of my language skills.

 

I came home from the rehab hospital June 1. I still couldn't walk nor talk properly. Home therapists worked with me then.

 

I almost can walk, through wobbly. I keep leaving my walker behind me. I write slowly. I can read. I can understand what others say to me. Others don't understand me quite as well.

 

As I recover, caregivers assist me. We walk together. They drive me to I need be. They use my camera take pictures of my recovery.

 

Best of all, I'm beginning to use my phone's camera again. It takes two hands. My right hand has enough control to push the button about half the time. It's good be on Flickr again.

Saw this fully concentrated painter in Dyreparken, Denmark. The scent of pipe tobacco and the beautiful scenery gave quite a special atmosphere.

I shot my first swim meet last night. Swim meets are hard! This photo was certainly a lucky one. Unfortunately this swimmer was on the other team!

Lexington Avenue, NYC, on a cold day in January

A hairy rock uncovered as the tide retreated was what drew me to this composition. I may have only had 30-40 minutes on Bantham Beach, but I could have spent hours here.

Coxed four out for a practice.

Returning with a huge BÄNG!!

 

After over two years of being out of my Flickrcommunity I decided to drop some fresh bombs since a lot of good stuff happened and came along in these past years.

 

My personal lightning stroke picture - probably for life. A huge lightning storm surrounded my flat, sothat I was working with three cameras simultaneously. One was pointed on Kiel`s telecommunication tower. Call it jealously pure luck or accept my godlike prediction skills paired with a huge bond with Thor. I was deeply stroked since i didn`t see that one hit the tower directly but as you can see; it did. OOoooow, how it did!!
