Happy B-Day Sepp in Switzerland


May you see many more moons, ride many more trails and have many more celebrations on the day of your birth!
Happy Birthday Sepp

Randy


Look Ma! No Mask!

Great day here... was able to get out for a ride without my face mask-covered... hope I don't look to scary in the flesh!

The juniper trees (a.k.a. larch) are now turning yellow/orange/reddish, so it's like there are trees afire amongst evergreen trees not afire...


Bye for now!
Cheers,

Bonne Fete, Sepp!

Happy Birthday, Sepp, from yo Brother Bell-Head in Kanata!
In my island home we often say: "Long may your big jib draw!"
(i.e. "Long may you have wind in your sails.")

Sepp, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Scary Nonnyhood

Adele handed me today a full box of Nonni's! Lucky day!


The devil is in the box. Just need to turn the lid around ...

Sinny-Boy

I Voted Too... In Canada!











After you watch Men's video of the American Voting Machine, take a look at the Canadian Voting Machine I used in our federal election this month. It's not too complicated. The marking device on the right (sometimes referred to as a 'pencil') is used to make a letter "X" (Elections Canada officials will help you if you have trouble making that mark, and request their help) and then all of the pieces of paper ('ballots') from each voter are privately placed in a box (oddly enough called the 'ballot box'). When the time is up for the day's election, Elections Canada counts each ballot to see the winner.... we must have a lot of fingers and toes on those Elections Canada officals, in that we don't need a machine in Canada TO COUNT BY ONES!

Leave it to American "Democracy" to f*** up a potentially good thing!

Ugh. Since the world has to put up with the American president (whoever it turns out to be), shouldn't we get a vote? Then again... I ain't going near that machine... keep your freakin' "I voted" sticker!

Watchin' the Waves


Amazing to watch the waves crash on the beach at Middle Cove today. Temperature was only 5 Celsius but the winds were only light... you'd never say, from the size of the waves, though!

Alien Cyclists in Newfoundland!


Warning! Aliens have been seen riding bikes in Newfoundland, Canada!

Do not be afraid... they come in good spirits... Famous Grouse Spirits!


Grouse Kiss

I think-
The opposite of "snake bite" is not "tire bubble"...

I think it is "Grouse Kiss."
Consider this:

A "snake bite" pisses you off and eats into your ride...
A kiss from the Grouse, is instead a smooth glide.

A "tire bubble"
is still trouble-
The Grouse, she is fine
in the evening time...

With troubles away
as the weekend looms
Sun in the AM-
I'm on my bike soon...

Cheers!
The Famous Newfie Grouse

Mahaulepu Ride

Waiting for Men to show up on his bike. Randy

Warm & Cozy Home

So cool to have a new TV ! No remote needed and no power either.


This was another project. With this more efficient wood stove we get to see the fire. It works much quiter and burns less wood.

Feels like camping on the couch! And eh, I better don't tell you how good a Famous Grouse tastes while watching channel "Fire" ...

und prost!

Opposite of Snake Bite

I was thinking what I could post as answer to Sepp's Snake bites. Shit, I was thinking probably too hard to come up with a funny post. 

This is how my rear tire was looking this morning - no kidding!


I ride without tubes as you know by now. No snake bites possible here but holy shit how do you call this?

Grüezi Sepp,




Kopf hoch Sepp.
Das Leben geht weiter.
Eine defekte Felge ist ersetzbar.
Auch ich hatte dieses Jahr einen Platten, und das mit "NoTubes" The Crow Reifen, made in the U.S.A. Nicht`s ist unendlich........



Sei froh das Du nicht gestürtzt bist und bleib gesund.
Wir sind Stark und wir sind Helden. (All the Blog are heroes)
