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 the signal to proceed.

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 something that would provide a bone for Buddy when I was done. He was quite appreciative. My photo of the day for day 239 is of the little feast I prepared.

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 the time we got home.

Harley Arty

Shortly after purchasing the new Limited, okay, on the way home from purchasing the Limited I stopped by at some friends’ home to show off my new bike. While there, one of their neighbors came by. As it turned out, he makes his money by detailing Harley-Davidsons and his nickname is Harley Arty. I took his business card and made a mental note to remember him for the future. When I came back from Sturgis, the bike was in a word, filthy. About 10 pounds of dead bugs and lots of road grime made it clear that if I was going to try him out, this would be the time to do it. I have to say, I was quite impressed with his work. It was obvious that he really enjoyed bringing back the beauty that my bike had once been. I will use him again for sure. In fact, he is supposed to come over Thursday to do the Night Train.

My photo of the day for day 236 is of the Limited after Harley Arty worked his magic. If you live in the South Bay area, drop a note and I will pass along his contact info.
