Colorado was incredible! I didn't want to come home. Hiking at 10-12,000 feet was an eye opener on oxygenation. If we play it again next year, I may take a solo motorcycle ride and screw the plane flight. It was killing me everytime that a bike flew by. Mountain riding is my favorite, by a long shot. Glenn
My solo long bike trip in 2012 was the best. I mean it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. It was quite an adventure of ups and downs. But I think I lived more, and learned more about myself, that week than the rest of my 39 years. Every day filled with planning and execution and problems and weird situations. I could write a book about it. Basically I took and EX500 and mostly survived off what I packed on it from Cincinnati out to Yellowstone, then down to the Bonneville salt flats before deciding I want to go home.
I've actually been spinning quite a bit of vinyl lately. Probably more for process enjoyment that direct VS sound quality comparison. I also skip a lot less because getting up is not a thing.
I remember a 70s turntable , can't recall the brand, which had a laser or similar in the head-shell and a remote control so that you could skip tracks on an LP.
This would have been ideal for avoiding the Yoko Ono tracks on Double Fantasy and Milk and Honey, but wouldn't work on Sgt Pepper, The Beatles (aka white album) or Abbey Road, which don't have track breaks.
Just returned home from the north shore of Lake Superior. The northern lights really delivered Monday night. I have LOTS of image review and editing ahead. Here's an early sample almost straight from the camera of the Milky Way near Split Rock lighthouse from last Friday. The loons are nearly audible.
The aurora borealis was absolutely incredible on the North Shore Monday evening. I've only experienced an aurora dancing overhead once before, north of Saskatoon many years ago. Lots of images were recorded and I have yet to view them all. Here are a couple. The bright object dominating one image is NOT the moon, it is Jupiter.

That's Alan Price, whose albums are worth checking out, I recommend "Performing Price", a live double LP, also on CD.
Perhaps his best known album is the soundtrack to the 1973 film, "O Lucky Man", in which he had roles as an actor and musician. Starred Malcolm McDowell and Helen Mirren, one of my favourite films. Unfortunately the soundtrack is very short - about 30 minutes - but it's all quality!
Had a blow out a few months back..
Replaced the collector/flex/flange with stainless steel. Then dropped them off for Cerikote. This is the midnight bronze.
Also splurged on ARP stainless studs.
In person interview for a job yesterday. I am one of three final candidates, the position is pretty significant however. It is unlikely I will be given an offer - but it is still cool to be considered for a job where my boss reports to a VP in the largest hog processing corporation in the world. I would be managing the plant engineer (fancy word for maintenance manager). Would be a life change in money.
I also interviewed for a similar position at a company that produces cattle feed supplement. Up and coming company, similar money as the pork job. Downside to both is they are about an hour from home, the commute would blow ass during a SoDak winter. I would likely rent a small apartment and just come home Friday afternoons.
I have an interview with a third company next Tuesday for a process engineer position. The VP I would report to was my continuous improvement manager that I worked with for about five years in a previous company. I have a real good shot at that one as a result - money is less than the other two but it is local.
Anyways, I had no idea full-time safety would end up being so boring after I got all the OSHA compliance stuff out of the way.

Thanks everyone, I use to love getting up everyday to do those jobs. Not so much anymore.π€·π»ββοΈ

Man I totally feel that when I get asked if I'm going to race my Mustang this year
Well, are you? π
Since I have insomnia again, figured I would let everyone know I am just starting season five of Boardwalk Empire.
Nice backdrop for a music fest!!

If you get the chance. Yes. Do it!

Back country exploring on the trials bikes today - pretty epic day on the bikes!
I'm amazed that smile fits in the helmet!! You need to frame that picture. π€Glenn

Cool then, cool now

Trials bike for a day trip? Holy cow! My legs would be jelly after 10 minutes.
I like a seat to go with my pegs! Great trials riders blow my mind. Control and balance has to be incredible.

That's Hot! (Pun intended)
It was almost 5 hours of riding that day - slept well that night!

Good for you, boredom is a killer. I deal with it almost daily.
Wanted to share some evidence of my weight loss.
One year ago in GR:
Today:
Anyways, still a little ways to go.
I made the error long ago too, but that is not a Nirvana song. It's STP.

So you just shaved and trimmed the weight right off, ehh? π¬
