Earache

Had shitty Mexican and beers for dinner tonight. Not good, not bad. Filled the gut though....

Hauled butt to our swanky digs for the night in Richfield, Utah, crossing the desert at 100 mph most of the way. We were the only ones out here today....

Got out of the mountains and into the desert, so my bud Todd had to shed a few layers in the fuel station parking lot (as you do). Small children that witnessed this spectacle are scarred for life now....

Obligatory fuel station stop....

Friday was the first day of the first trip of the year - headed to the west coast of USA. Had to bundle up to get outta my home area, 28F / -3C when we left Colorado...

Nope. All done. Close the thread.

Relatively cheap - about $650. Some of my other pistols are well north of a grand.

Speaking of gun culture..... The Glock 17 finally got here. These things are like hens teeth to find - sold out everywhere. Was lucky to find one. Hope to keep the bears and mountain lions out of the house with this one.

Finally got there! Took'em long enough. Funny, but I have yet to see the HD Adventure bike - which was what I started going to the HD places for in the first place. Oh well, Buckster got a cool shirt out of it.

Yup. From US Dept of Justice: "Today homicide is the leading cause of death among young Black men, and contributes significantly to the shortened life-span of the Black male. In about 80-90% of the cases, the Black victim was killed by another Black, and about 52% of the murder victims were acquainted with their assailant." https://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/black-black-homicide-psychological-political-perspective Yet not a fuckin' peep outta BLM about this shit.

Always amazed that the Black Lives Matter movement doesn't address black on black crime - where the majority of the murders are. Seems they can't be bothered with that.

Ahh. My mistake then. Don't see too many people drinking cider here so I didn't think of that.

That pizza looks great - with just the right toppings as well. But the beer looks kinda pissy,

Nuthin' worse than a dodgy bollock.

I can remember about 28 cents per gallon here way back when I was a kid.

I have four trips scheduled so far this summer - all about one week in duration. Although travel was never shut down here in the USA, things are back to 100% open without restrictions on seating capacity in restaurants, etc. in my area. No masks mandates, either. Right now is a good time to ride. Now if only fuel prices would come back down....

Gotta have some 'deth in there, too....

Just got 100 rounds of 9mm FMJ for $35.00 - not too bad. They only had 2 boxes, I shoulda bought them both.

Nah, I'll be fine. Lots of saddle time never made me ache at all. Maybe all of the nerve endings in my butt cheeks are old and died off.

Not yet. Snow has cleared and it's warmer now though. Hope to get out a bit this coming weekend. Headed to California coast, Oregon and points between here and there on the 28th for my first trip of the year. Would be nice to ride a bit before then !

Finally had some decent weather over the weekend and I had to babysit the school's field as the girl's soccer team did their best to make a mess of it...

I don't speak Spanish. Were they protesting tiny tits?

Just a bit of a hike to get over there to see it. Still, might be worth it.

Figures you'd get one before us. Did you see in person? Opinions?
