Second Weekend in October!


XTreme

Recommended Posts

having spent a week NOT scrabbling around in filthy bilges, NOT trying to calm down dissapointed clients, NOT doing field repairs, NOT pulling berges around and NOT trying to organise everybody else,  you'll probably NOT be surprised to know that this weekend I have NO back pain, NO swollen painful knees, NO swollen fingers or toes and nobody is relying on me to answer the phone and sort out their problems. I am therefore going to make a second attempt at the Lac des settons this afternoon. ✌️

Brilliant news! 

Amazing the effect of not doing a lot of shitty things can have on your health 😂

Keep in mind I've surpassed probably already the total millage you're gonna do with the 2022 and 2023 year... That's 9000 on the ktm and 4000 on the harley... And I can only ride 6 months out of every year... 

So you say Marcel!

But of course you could be one of those internet bullshitters who claims to have been everywhere, seen everything, and done everything!

And then can't produce a shred of evidence to verify it. Forgot their camera or phone is the usual excuse!

I'm not saying you are......but that kind does exist!

Tell him @Tym

Ok, let’s take this back to good old fashion weekend fun here boys 😆

A canoe and a few frogs should would change the vibe around here!

Well lucky for you I have both…😉

Had a lovely autumn paddle today and the beach we stopped at for a break was cover with Bullfrogs. Cute little fellas! 🐸😊

Happy Sunday 🌺

A lot to do today. All dumb jobs so hopefully it being Sunday I’ll ignore them all 😁

Same to you. Looks like a quiet day around camp for me. I am working on merging my YouTube channels. When I started my journey I thought I needed a separate channel for everything.  But now I would like it all under my roof, actually kind of excited about the merge. 😊

Hope your day is going well.

Where you off to Yen

40th GPO rally near Milton Keynes.

Phil the Spill, the infamous bike rally photographer was there, I was convinced it couldn't be him cos he lives in Scotland now, but I asked and it bloody was. I'm sure he was shorter than me at previous rallies, but he's a few inches taller now, so either porridge builds you up or I'm shrinking!

How’s the merge gone? Its funny how the things that can excite you change as you get older.

One day you’re hip n cool the next you’ve got a favourite hob ring 😂

It is going well thanks.  Going to upload a video a day to get everything in one spot.  I have already had some welcome backs on the channel I am merging to, which was my motorcycle channel. 

Oh dear did I use the word excite again, @XTreme does get a little silly when I use that word. 😆

It's just nice to be inspired again, I think that is what is exciting me. 🙂  I have been a bit tired from the last year and I am now getting my mojo back!! 😎

So we wake up yesterday morning and decide to go for a walk down to Mermaid Cove to watch the sunrise.  As we were approaching the cove we heard this strange sound coming from the water.  We had never heard such a thing and did not know what to think.  We made our way to the shore and looked out to see the most spectacular sight, a pod of frick'n dolphins swimming along.  I knew they passed along the coast but never in the 25 years I had house there did I get to see such a thing.  Now that I have returned for the winter I feel so lucky to have seen such a sight, finally. 😀

The pod entered the cove and began eating breakfast.  As we watched them feast, the seagulls flew overhead, a blue heron sat in the distance, the bald eagles could be heard on the shore across the way and the low moans of some whales could be heard in the far distance if you listened closely.  Although we didn't see the whales there was no mistaking they were out there.

What an experience, to say I was excited would not sum up how I felt.  It was truly amazing.  🥰

This weekend is Thanksgiving weekend here and we normally think about what we are thankful for.  I have a long list this year of things to be thankful for and this experience is very close to the top.

Wow that was worth getting out of bed for! Petes right you do have a relaxing voice. Are they creatures of habit? Are you going to be getting up at daftoclock from now on to try and see it again?
