Yeah.....finally had a connection long enough to finish my July video and blog! We woke up on July 1st, Canada Day, in Saskatoon Saskatchewan. Not exactly where I thought we would be at this time, but we were here for a good reason. You see, we couldn’t have it both ways, either we buy a home on land or a home on wheels, both were not an option, we had to choose one. Saskatoon would be the place to decide this and it would change everything. A new home on wheels and a quest to find a beautiful resting spot for my Mom, this was July, with lots of trees, water and stunning places in-between. Here are a few moments from July and my latest blog to go along with it. https://www.grasshopperspath.ca/post/new-home-on-wheels-meet-ella-3-0

They look polish i guessed from the description Pete gives of polish people

done that in a pub , glued em to the bar and the ashtrays and some glasses..... got barred

I'd be back with a hammer and chisel. i pick up penny's so there's no way i'd leave that

Just walked down to my local supermarket a few minutes ago and spotted this again, still in exactly the same place. I first saw it a few months ago and tapped it with my foot. When it didn't move I knew it was the famous glued down coin trick beloved of children in my youth. The kid's probably forgotten all about it now, but I bet he watched for ages in the first week as people tried to pick it up.

The place I’m in right now makes me think of the landscape of Spain from your videos @XTreme

I had a wee bimble to try out the lid today, it was weird wearing full face for the first time in about 14 years. First impressions are that in full face mode it is quiet, the visor is completely fog free with the Pinlock, the sun visor could possibly be a bit darker. It is easy to flip the chin bar over to the back of the shell and I did this every time I was in a town or village and generally just used the sun visor although I did try it with the clear visor in this configuration as well, it felt almost the same as my open face when riding like this which was good. I didn’t bother with any riding glasses. As expected it was affected a little by the wind blast that comes up between the tank and the bottom of the fairing but I am planning on fitting a baffle to cut that down anyway. It also looks good which is important given how damn fine looking I am.

What a voice Steve Ellis had as a 17 year old........and he's still singing great at 72.

They're both females (colouring tells me that), one is the mother teaching a young one to hunt, if they weren't they would be trying to kill each other, they're very territorial, especially at a time when young one's ae recently fledged.

We know you do

I dont care just stay the fuck out of my way, life is short, its shorter when you piss me off.

More from today.

Went to the beach, What is wrong with people these two p[arked right next to my freaking car i could barely fit in the back door so i took their pics and am putting them onthe fucking internet.

Rode up to my favourite cafe, just now posting while enjoying the coffee. Will not lunch as there’s a birthday party here and fucking lisbonners are turning this into a metropolis Rode a little dirt road for a bit, and stopped to let a tractor get away since I couldn’t pass it and there was nowhere for him to let me squeeze by

Boring mode *ON* ( cos I hear a lot of people saying she should have abdicated in favour of charles years ago) Queen Elizabeth could not have handed over to Charles any sooner than she has done. She could have delegated more of the public appearances, as she did with the last state opening of parliament and a couple of other more minor occasions over the last couple of years, but no more. There is no provision in the United Kingdom's constitution for the abdication of a reigning monarch, there is no legal or constitutional framework for it. The option doesn't exist. When Edward refused the crown in december 1936 he had not yet been crowned and therefore was not technically a reigning monarch, though given the title King for the 11 months following his fathers death due to the rules of automatic succession of the eldest son, ( now changed by Elizabeth to the automatic succession of the eldest child) in the same way Charles is referred to as King Charles 3rd from the moment of his mother's death on thursday. Edward had to make his choice before the coronation. Charles will only become legally and constitutionally King at his coronation. Until that time he could technically refuse the crown as did his uncle in '36. Boring mode*OFF*

Probably their last name

Bob's son!

Steve Ellis now....

Hey don't knock it i'm getting a day off work for her funeral

Great minds

Harley riders Jizzle he’s been saving up in buckets

Gay spunk by the looks of things

Went for a walk with Paolo this morning. This is the Panorama walk, it's less than a mile from my house................

Great idea, I’ll do it outside my place, it’s a quiet street and I need the entertainment. Also people are really tight soI bet someone is going home for tools to get it!

No, if the wind is blowing the right way I can hear the 1 o’clock gun.

We used to do it and then stand nearby with a blown up paper bag and pop it just as they bent down to pick it up, some old bloke nearly had a heart attack and we had to leg it

I just watched the proclamation of the accession ceremony, Britain at it's finest in my opinion. God save the King .

Or remove it with a screw driver, or wheel the bike away to Six’s van.

Can't help feeling sorry for him. Lost his dad and mum in a short time with no time to grieve, think he's held himself together very well. Can you check that please Buck.

You don’t need to force the Portuguese to eat horse cock.

I’ll take one of everything please Pedro, my mouth is salivating right now. How soon can you get here

I knew it.... You bunch of thiefs... Stay away from are codfish.... Just think about it now.... If there was no regulation on seal population... You wouldn't have codfish to eat and you'd be force to eat horse cocks... Seals have no natural predators to keep them in check.... Yes polar bears but that's in the north pole...

I think this belongs in the mange section

Found some wild blueberries this morning.

I’m camped just outside a medium sized city which is strange but fun. Getting lots done, vehicle maintenance, buying some supplies and just staying in one place for a few days. Going for a long hike tomorrow and maybe a swim! Have a lovely weekend everyone.

Warning, couple of meals in this post are about to offend certain sensitive personalities that are more of the cheeseburger persuasion. Quick 20 minute fresh cherry tomato pasta: Canned horse mackerel sandwich Leftover grilled camembert and tomato bruschetta Hotdogs, with caramelized onion relish Mum's leftover squid from the previous day, turned into pasta the day after Proper summer meal, the amazingly sweet pineapple was the star Grilled courgette sandwich, with canned fish. It's a great sandwich, with olives and capers. Pantry sandwich, whatever's at home and opened goes in Basil and mint pesto, it was pretty much perfect Perfecting my Broccoli pasta, it's getting there and probably my favourite thing to cook right now. Although it's a paella pan, let's not offend anyone and just call it rice Vegetarian dinner: grilled aubergines, sautéed mushrooms with garlic, and salad. A simple onion omelette Lea the Terrier, very interested in this pasta sauce as soon as the anchovies started falling apart. No pictures of the end result. Octopus "à Lagareiro", baked with olive oil and potatoes. I obviously didn't cook it, a very nice restaurant did. "Lagareiro" is the man that operates the traditional olive oil press, most "Lagareiro" dishes are oven baked with garlic and potatoes, and a healthy dose of extra virgin high quality olive oil. The pesto was this place's touch and it worked. Giulia is an italian lady I know, she runs a restaurant in Germany and most dishes always feature peas thrown in one way or the other. I remembered her for some reason and peas went into the pasta, the result was pretty great. Comfort food, peas with quality chorizo from the Alentejo black pigs. I put a few different spices like turmeric, a lot of cumin, smoked paprika, some herbs, the home grown egg gifted by my neighbour finished it off perfectly and was a touch of love.

Gazoo got a bath today!

I notice a lot of you go on bimbles since I went on my border bimble, I’m an influencer in this manor.

Damn right

yeh perfect day to go out on bike if weathers ok, roads should be empty

just read they have cancelled savannah marshal fight until October for fuck sake what you say @XTreme

A penny would be different, I'd lever that up, that's a good luck thing. "Find a penny, pick it up, and all day long you'll have good luck."

@Six30 would have them!

Or, it can be like this

No, it’s fucking freezing … to me. Here at home it does go below zero a few nights per year. If it’s dry it’s great motorcycling weather, though, this was on Christmas day:

That's how I roll I was waiting for someone to mention that. Funny how that really gets some people, who the hell made that rule anyway, who ever it was could not have been Canadian. Toes get cold, sandals are comfy, end of story...

Stay tuned....The decision will be my next blog entry with the July write up. Thanks for asking!

trawling through some photos yesterday amd came across this from our last Britanny trip. In Britanny they make ( apart from crépes) whant they call "Kouign" ( pronounced "Queen") which are pancakes more like blinis and can be savoury or sweet. This restaurant extrapolated this and produces a "Burger Kouine" ( burger King, get it?) which has "Kouine" instead of a bread bun. Bloody lovely! uuuurrrpsss !
