Never Settle

I am not really sure why I bought this thing. It is not the kind of barbecue I like to use, at all. Maybe if I was barbecuing for large crowds, this unit would be appropriate, but for one or two people, it just does not make sense. It is too big to cook one or two steaks with. I guess I picked this one because I wanted a barbecue immediately and the establishment I was at did not sell the Weber Kettle, which would have been my first choice. So, I settled. My photo of the day for day …

The Miracle of Birth

The other day, my pregnant daughter-in-law made a comment about a photo she had seen of me on Facebook. In a not so subtle way, she suggested I was getting fat with a “sympathy belly.” It caused me to reflect back to when my two children were mere fetuses. I do not recall getting a sympathy belly back then, in fact, I went to the gym daily, so probably not much likelihood of that happening. I do remember the ultrasounds though. I figured there is no way I am about to grow a sympathy belly for my daughter-in-law, no matter …

Project 365 August Recap

A Picture a Day – Project 365 August 2010 August 2010 was a pretty fun month. I guess any month that more than half of it includes riding one of my bikes is a good month. Throw in a few days with my honey in Sturgis, a couple visits to Gu Gu Sushi and some quality time with Buddy and there really is not a lot to complain about. This gallery is a compilation of my picture a day project for August 2010.

Do not taze me bro

It took me three tries to write an introduction to this post, because I am still angry. This white trash, Jerry Springer regular looking meter reader for the Southern California Gas Company pepper sprayed my dog, in his own yard, while he was on the leash! Then when I call to complain, the supervisor starts talking about they are like cops and using “less than lethal” force. Are you kidding me? My picture of the day for day 243 shows some of the results of the attack on my dog, on his own property by the SoCal Gas Co. He …

Making Friends

Buddy and I were enjoying our leisurely morning walk when this attack dog appeared out of nowhere. At first he seemed a little apprehensive about approaching Buddy, but he quickly determined that we were not a threat to him. I am not sure that this was a good thing because I could not find the owner and the dog wanted to follow us home. I don’t need or want another dog. Eventually a neighbor decided to take charge of the stray and we made it home. My photo of the day for day 242 is Buddy and his new little …

Fate or Coincidence

Many years ago, I considered opening a breakfast only restaurant. I got this idea after spending a few days up in the Lake Arrowhead, Big Bear area. Something about that area made me think that if I were to do this, this would be the right place to do it. Since then, I have gone up there at least a dozen times. Each time, I wonder if I should go for it. My photo of the day for day 241 is a place I have driven by numerous times, but never noticed. It is obviously a sign, but is it …

Night Moves

When Buddy and I got on our evening walk, he generally gets more time off the leash. This is due to the fact that when we go out at night, we do it late when there is little traffic. Of course, what is lost in vehicle traffic is made up by nocturnal animal traffic. Not really sure why I have to deal with varmints in this location, but I have more varieties of critter hanging around here than Tanya does in Indiana. Day 240 of my photo a day project is of Buddy, in his perfect night gear, waiting for …

Rib Eye Time

I am a pretty good cook. I am very good when it comes to grilling on the barbecue. Unfortunately, I do not really enjoy cooking for myself, so I do not do it very often. I am a member of Sort This Out Cellars wine club, and every three months they send me a few bottles of wine. Since it was Friday, and I had received a supply of some new wines, I decided to go to the store and pick up a rib eye and fixings for a salad. I picked a rib eye because I wanted to get …

Nice Butt

Different motorcycles have different qualities that may attract me. My 1986 Heritage got my attention with the old school look and the way it fit me. My Limited attracted me with its sexy lines and color scheme. The Night Train, well, I will never forget walking into the dealership and spotting the rear end on it. It was lust at first sight. My photo of the day for day 238 is a profile of the Night Train’s rear, just after being detailed by Harley Arty. He really does good work

Dog Wash?

I do not know what it is about water, but it seems that whenever Buddy is freshly groomed he is more apt to walk through mud puddles or he will run through sprinklers. If he needs grooming he is more likely to avoid things like sprinklers. I guess he just enjoys that wet dog smell. Day 237 of my photo a day project was taken while Buddy and I were walking through the park. If you look closely, behind the mist of the first sprinkler you can see the white tip of Buddy’s tail. He was pretty well soaked by …
