My wife and I usta go to spin class at the YMCA. It was a warm up for our workouts.
The Y was 'bout 30 miles from home.
There is a resort 6 miles from home with an indoor aquatics center with 3 hot tubs, pool, workout room and a sauna. We went there a few years ago until they started closing in the winter. With my motor nerve condition, I can't go that long without some kinda exercise.
Now they're back to being open 24/7 to members. So we're back to being members there.
Anyway, this is from our last spin class at the Y. I'm in the red tank top, my wife's beside me in the black shirt and the fellow in the black tank top just recently turned 72 and he's still spinnin'.
Group picture from that day.
Is that G. Gordon Liddy "copping a feel" from that lady in the back right hand corner? Spinning is making him look younger. LOL!
He's actually five years my junior and complains about being old. I found out when he told me, "just wait until you're my age." After that I started calling him, "youngster."Is that G.

From a recent bike trip on the C&O Canal Towpath.

A favorite "Random Object" is the European style window operator. These windows hinge alternately at the bottom and left side.
Ventilation via the bottom hinge pivots the top of the window inward slightly for ventilation, with travel stops for security. Entry through the window in this open position is impossible.
The left side hinge pivots the window inward freely, for egress or cleaning.
Switching between functions requires full closure for security.
This was in our hotel room in Bergen Norway but these are common windows in Europe.

Another Random Object I appreciate is the "Newspaper Stick" often found on racks in public spaces like cafes and hotel lobbies throughout Europe.
This was in our hotel lobby in Figueres Spain.

Now this really is Random Objects. These scattered nautical objects were at the entrance to the WWII Battle of the Atlantic Memorial at Pointe de Pen-Hir in Brittany France.

The view from my camper window at 8:00 AM this morning.
Now if that view doesn't make for a great day, nothing will! Simply spectacular view.
These aren't soo random. 
Here's a few pictures from my weekend excursion. This was Friday morning.
Ferron Reservoir, 9400 ft in the The Manti–La Sal National Forest in central Utah.
It was a little chilly when I woke up.
With a light dusting of fresh snow.

This is a picture I took at the beginning of monsoon season near Sedona, Arizona in the "red rock country."

I'm sorry to hear of the loss of Tarn and Hanna. I know the holes they leave in us.

Three hours ago JR cracked his tailbone.
When I asked him what happened he said he fell and broke his butt.

Never knew Shelby’s were made outside the factory. 
until we visited the Carroll Shelby Museum in Vegas. In addition to the museum they receive stock factory cars, dismantle, then rebuild. .
They have a body and paint shop as well.
