I think our dogs like the trailer but they are always trying to get out. our bulldog mix is the worst. I have made reinforced straps that are short. but after so much tugging today he was able to get his front feet right at the edge then saw another dog and tried to jump out. flipping the trailer. I dont think he hurt himself but it was crazy. We went right to the pet store to get one of those spiked collars to stop him pulling so much. the problem is he is long enough its hard for him to fit if he is back far enough not to get out.

Foofer , your world is like a gong show ... (-:

now he has this-plus even shorter restraint.
we had to take him for another ride to get his nails trimmed and he did much better.

If you let him run along beside you the road would trim his nails for free!

Finally nice to see some green along the trails here.

Windmill aeration. An eco-friendly method of maintaining the O2 in a nearby pond and also deters weeds/algae from forming. There’s no electricity required as it’s powered by the wind.

Pretty cool before and after pics of Mt St Helens. I have only seen it from the air after the eruption and it's breath taking...

Mount St. Helens Pictures: Before and After the Blast

From snow-capped peak to smoldering crater, see how the major eruption 30 years ago today changed the face of the famous volcano.

I remember that day like it was yesterday. I lived in Albany, OR at the time and was headed to Battle Ground, WA for a wedding. The main church doors opened directly to a perfect view of the erupting mountain. A few days later we had a light dusting of ash in Albany. It had reached the jet stream and circled the globe. I could see the later eruption from my back yard 190 km (118 mi) away. It has been interesting watching the recovery over the years.

We got some of that fallout here in Vancouver B.C. as well.

Another fly by of a different variety today

I usually ride this beach with the tail wind but today it worked out to ride into the headwind which wasn't bad and made for a nice smooth cruise after getting shaken up on the logging roads above.

And I came across this herd of Elk on the logging road, they were in a clearcut on the right side and took off too the left. I got my phone out and took a movie and caught 17 of them but missed the first 5 or 6. They sure do make a racket once they get in the woods! Sorry for the poor quality screen grab.

I think someone set it on fire since the motor is in front and the battery is fine.

This photo reminds me of my old Porsche 356 replica (fiberglass body) that I bought back from the person I sold it too after it suffered a serious engine fire.

If tagging the bike wasn’t bad enough. Rentals don’t seem to get much respect.

Beautiful river scene, but it triggered my PTSD for the Canada geese. Lived with them on a lake for 18 years. Impressive aviators and navigators, devoted parents, but really lousy neighbors.

As the resident population on the lake exploded in the last decade, the surrounding greenbelt became a carpet of goose poop. All grass near water was reduced to stubble, and dog walks became a real challenge, as she considered the darkest droppings hors d'oeuvres.

Aw c'mon... can't be THAT bad, can it?
What was that Beach Boys song... Oh yeah...

You don't know what I've got... ... ... on my shoe..."
