I could but I won't be here to supervise. I will probably go for a ride or go fishing again. My kayak is still on my car. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Come Lately Name Posted July 21, 2017 Share #5 Posted July 21, 2017 'Mornin. Walked the dog, made lunch, made the bed and headed out the door. Commute was fairly quiet, minimal obscenities were required. Parking lot was almost empty. No hawks guarding the stairs . Gonna put in my required time and then head up to "that place". (Can't say "c-a-m-p" 'cause I think Gus reads the forum). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I could find it because I knew the year and the month but no luck. I probably have it on a CD somewhere. Anyhow these vultures were lined up on the handrails on both sides of the bridge I had to cross facing each other. There was a photographer taking pictures of them. I asked the photographer if he was done taking pictures because I needed to cross the bridge. He said he was done and wished me luck. Those stinking birds never budged and I rode between them within pecking distance on both sides. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm doing more playing it safe this summer as I realize that one little mistake on one of my bikes could end my long awaited vacation. My shoulder will never be right again and it could have been my neck or back. I have found out the hard way that old bodies don't fare as well in a crash as they did when young.

I wouldn't want anyone to put themselves through this if they can stay motivated and employed and still depositing in the ss account that makes this possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of how I used to feel when running the gauntlet of "Murder Chickens" (Canada Geese) on my commute to my other job. I've seen turkey vultures circling overhead when on a particularly nasty climb on the MTB, on a hot day....and looked up and said "I'm not dead yet.....I'm thinking of going for a walk.....I feel happy......" My BIL was out cutting firewood, once and the tree he dropped hung up. He cut it again, it dropped a little more, and hung up again. After the third time, he said he started getting angry and stupid....until he looked up and saw turkey vultures overhead. "Hmmm....maybe I'll just leave this one...."? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
