    That sure is my little darling. They are so awesome. I love Toyotas! Come up to Canada some time and we will go off roading!

    Started the day with a bit of a change to the routine. Decided to put the dog in the 4Runner and drive up a logging road for our morning walk. It was a very peaceful morning and Gazoo (my 4Runner) seemed very happy to be in his element.

    I am currently reading, Home by Seven by Steph Jeavons Here is a quick summary: One woman's solo journey to ride all seven continents on two wheels. A Welsh girl, Steph Jeavons ran away to see the world. She wanted to see the sunset from every angle. She wanted to see an orangutan and a baobab tree. She wanted to become the first person to circumnavigate the globe and ride a motorcycle on all seven continents - and to sing karaoke on the way. ---------------------- It is really good so far and very refreshing to read. Refreshing in the way that she is rough around the edges and doesn't hide it. She speaks her mind and considering her lows in life, still managed an amazing adventure that no one else has done. A serious page turner.

    This is the thread to share what book you are reading at the moment. It doesn't have to be related to motorcycles, but try to keep it to what you are currently reading.

    Had a busy day today. Started with a small servicing for Bagheera. Oil change, new plug and air filter, chain maintenance, just stuff like that. Then I worked on my latest video before going for a super nice ride and hike. Rode to a place called Big Tree Park, with, you guessed it, really big old trees. We went for a short hike through the forest and enjoyed the awesome trees. I will do a video and ride report for next week. Then went home and did some landscaping on part of the property we are reclaiming from the nasty wild berry bushes. All in all a great day. Have a great weekend everyone.

    Of course budget is important, but a photographer friend once told me, it is also how a camera feels in your hands. If you don't feel comfortable with it when you pick it up that is not a good start. You had mentioned a bridge camera, a good place to start. They are always very friendly to use and will get you started. If you find you are looking at a bridge camera on the higher price end, then also look at entry level DSLR's and mirrorless cameras. Those will give you the option to use multiple lens down the road. Maybe you want a larger zoom lens or a macro lens later on. The mirrorless cameras are really nice for travelling. They are light and fun to use. Most also record a nice quality video as well. The cameras these days are easy to learn and have many modes to help you in different conditions. Have fun and let us know what you decide on.

    A friendly wave is always nice, but especially when they are bigger than you and don't HAVE to let you pass!
