Oh dear. Looks like last year. If house costs come down, I may be moving. This is too much.

The Gazelle is fixed. Long live the Gazelle! I drove over to the area that Mr. Coffee lives in, I think and just like every other time, had good and quick service at the bike shop that sells Treks. It takes me longer to drive than it does for them to fix. I didn't have much time to spend...

There is a bump and a rivet that it is truly stuck in. I wrestled with it, and said magical words, but nothing worked. It is stuck. I do think the chain was too loose, although a so called bike expert said it was OK, since I probably wasn't riding off bumps and jumps. I'll ask questions...

It coulda been worse. There were no watermelons to buy today at Wally World, or much of anything else so I wasn't too loaded down with groceries. My bike broke down. I climbed on to get going after pushing it across the intersection of doom and there was a clunk and the pedals stopped. The...

Today's Ruh Roh moment. I checked, and yup, freshly chip sealed with plenty of rocks to fly when cars go by--a good source of customers for windshield repair. I turned around.

I knew a log truck driver who did not like to be flipped off. He passed a cyclist on a mountain pass and the cyclist flipped him off. The log trucker drove to the top of the steep grade and stopped. When the cyclist got close enough, log truck guy started throwing rocks. He made the guy ride...

Here's a typical pot farm. Inside the fence are greenhouses and stuff. Cameras are spaced around the fenceline.

I'm not sure we can get out of the mess we are in. We don't have much choice in elections--if we don't vote for the candidate of the two parties, our vote seems wasted. The two parties are both lethargic in being able to do any POSITIVE change. One seems to be stuck in the past and crazy, the...

Rode to the Farmers Market and purchased my fix of cherries. I did not take my recently found camera with more zoom. So, on the way home there was this, of course. Osprey on a made for them nesting platform. Then, around a corner and the debate in my head began, is it smoke or a fluffy...

I carried many a banana in the backpack of my timber cruising vest. Bananas survive although it might get bruised a bit. They don't have to be kept cool.

It has become a religion here to own guns. I grew up amongst rifles that were used for hunting and shooting bad critters. I never thought them to be sacred objects. I have a shotgun that I used to hunt birds with but my dog became more interested in gophers so I quit hunting. Also, it's just...

Yes. And I love the story about the company NOT getting bigger. If it weren't for the Covid red tape, I'd make a day trip to Osoyoos.

There is a reason I moved 40 miles from the Canadian border and it isn't about eating Cheezies.

I thought he was supposed to know how to ride? He's leaning forward in a way that signals most trained horses to back up. Why is he wearing a coat and shirt? :)

Locally, a guy killed two people. All were armed and met for a discussion on some kind of construction project. Shooting happened. That's all we know--no arrest has been made that I am aware of. They were not criminals, they were locals and there hasn't been much more revealed on it. What...

How was it legalized? In my State of Warshington, it was voted on. Our state allows us to have referendums (I'm doing this without looking it up) if one gathers enough valid signatures on what they want to make a law or legalize, it goes on the state ballot and everybody can vote on it...

I ride through cannibis grows frequently. It's legal to grow here. It does stink and the workers seem to drive very fast to get to work. The farms look a bit prison like. It's the law that they must be a bit hidden, I think so they all have solid fences or fences covered in black plastic to...

It's getting into the upper 90s in the afternoon. My thermometer said 102 yesterday but it was in the sun. The weather is normal. Need to eat MORE cherries. I thought the cherries were done after the rain of the fourth but apparently not.

No pictures, but rode down to the Saturday Farmer Market to get a bunch of cherries. Took the longer way home and....nobody was waving. Usually people here wave when they go by. Today they all seemed to be a bunch of grumpy pants. What goes? Saw a big muley doe and two snakes--one might've...

To heck with the front wheel, it's the rear wheel that gets complicated and I'll have to google it to see if anyone has come up with a detailed explanation that my simple brain can understand. Rabbifravitz ^%$** complicated Gazelle! mumble when you read that.
