Fun photo Doug. Have had this happen numerous times.
And in other related news, my best friend and I once crawled up into and sat in the cockpit of a Mosquito.
and one of our long gone neighbours, original owner of that house, once told and showed me that his basement wall panelling was war surplus sheets destined to make more Mozzies, but sold cheap when he bought the place and he used them for the basement...
I used to visit an old fellow who had been a navigator in Lancasters, and we used to talk about stuff, and the Pathfinders group with Mosquitos came up a few times.
there, I've put you all to sleep....night

We went out last weekend...everything closed so we just biked from home towards the mountains and found an ATV dirt road in the woods where we pitched our tent for the night. It was all good until I woke up at night to huge rumble of a truck engine and tires tearing up the dirt...as the truck sped through the corner where we were pitched I heard him exclaim yippee ...
Luckily the truck did not do more rounds. My spouse slept through the whole thing unaware. Lucky soul. :-)

^^^ Yippeeeeee!!! Of course, it’s only proper to yell that, on the downhills. But you can always just borrow one, if ya need to. 😁
Hey, are we all talkin’ about the same kind of buds? I’m down to about a quarter of Hawaiian, gotta re-stock soon. 😎😉

Cannabis is good medicine, for a lot of things. I mostly medicate for arthritis & depression. 👍

Good thing I stopped & adjusted my brakes awhile ago. From Stallion Springs to Arvin (both in California, lol) is about 22 miles, with close to 4000 feet of downhills. 😎 Stallion Springs is kinda like Smucker’s. With a name like that, it HAS to be good. Right? 😁 It’s pretty good, if you grab a burger & fries at P-Dub’s, anyways. 👍

Unless I crash, lol. 😁😉 If you leave town the right way, you get to see the covered wooden bridge, which is right by Horse Thief Park. That just has a nice ring to it, but no pics, it’s very small, & several locals were there, fishing & what not. 😎

Well star, I hope being out on the road helps with things, and the same for coming on here for the social interaction.
Safe traveling during these very special and fraught times.

Speaking of Cheech & Chong, I scored an ounce yesterday, from a Chinese dude who looked a heck of a lot like Tommy Chong. 😎😁😎

It was somewhere between Karlovy Vary and Cheb on the western side of the country. From the time the picture was taken, it looks like it was just west of Karlovy Vary. We were heading west toward the German border. My wife keeps great journals; all I need is the date and time of the photo, and I can get good information easily from her journals.

This is the first time I have tried to attach it to the rear rack. It works pretty good but I plan on improving the the top attachment.
It is a pair of bags made for truss fork but I thought they would work well on a rear rack too...work in progress 😀
