About a hundred yards from my house. Bambi got bumpered.

Tactical Laptop Computer
Anyone ever seen an old tactical laptop computer like the one from 1987 on my friend's desk? I saw one being used by a co-worker, and he demonstrated it by closing it and throwing it across the office, bouncing it on the concrete floor. Retrieving and opening it, found it still running just fine.

That's up just for Christmas, right?
Went out the front door one morning and found this little one on the door mat. Thought it was dead at first but it came to after a couple minutes. Poor thing ran into the storm door and knocked itself out. Did make for a opportunity to get a rare very close picture of a yellow breasted chat. I left it under one of the bushes next to the front walk and it was gone 30 minutes later.

We do an annual new Years Day ride every year. I usually head north and we ride at 5-Mile pass but this year only ine other person could make it so he decided to come down here and stay in one of our cabins instead of me going up there.
I thought that was a great idea so I invited one other friend and he headed out for The Devil's Racetrack in the San Rafael Swell.
Welcome to the Swell 1/2/2021. It was a BEAUTIFUL day with temps in the high 30s.

I told Lance I'd bring my butane stove and we should have something hot for lunch so he made us some chicken kabobs and we grilled them for an awesome lunch.
The view from where we ate lunch.

And Coal Wash was frozen.
I stopped about 1/2" from Kevin's ATV. Everyone thought for sure I was going to slam into him.
The Devil's Racetrack. This is what we rode here for.

The Stairs. At least that's what I think they're called.
Looking back.

The best part of the ride?? My friends that I got to spend the day with.

Cool picture but sad to see and hard to look at.
I can't even imagine a section of a city looing like that.
I'm sure at one time is was nice and vibrant.
November was a good and bad month for me.
I turned 66 and finally realized that I'm the same age as old people.
My best friend and his girlfriend came down to go riding and she took this picture of me.
WHERE THE HE!! HAS ALL MY HAIR GONE??!!
I carry this 40v chainsaw with me to clear fallen trees off the trails.
About 2/3 of the way along our ride we came up against this one
that had fallen on the trail rather than across it.
This one was going to be a challenge. Especially for my little 40v
14" chainsaw. I do carry an extra battery but not much of one.
Once we finished two cuts we attached a snatch block to two other fallen trees and winced out the section that we cut out.
That was one big tree. Both batteries were dead by the time we were finished.
I did buy one more 7Ah bsttery.
And once again we were on our way.

My old Bronx movie theater
Orchard Beach bath houses 1903
Fishing for coins, jewelry, etc.
I remember this spot as a very young kid. Fordham Rd and Grand Concourse.
The Serpico park scene with Pacino meeting the detectives to tell them he didn't want any money, was filmed just past the buildings on the left. Many years later of course.
Yankee Stadium is behind the photographer.

Speaking of uncles, we have an odd formal portrait of hubby's great-uncle Frank as a child in 1914, and after receiving his commission in 1938.

Good catch!
I always forget what side of the river Iam on. I should know better, I am in there several times a week. Nearly every morning I make my rounds between Bob's, Sportsman's, Gator's, Walmart and On Target.

Last week I went out to lunch with a friend and he wanted to stop at WM, I haven't been there since they stopped selling hand gun ammo, I went to the sporting goods dept, they only had a few boxes of ammo, I didn't bother looking to see what it was.

Speaking of vintage photographs, here are a few that have personal meaning for me.
This is a shot of Good Samaritan hospital in Phoenix from 1939, the year I was born there. It was torn down roughly 40 years ago and replaced by a more modern structure. Three of my four children were also born in that older building.
...and this is the very place I was born - the delivery room in that hospital - taken pretty close to the time I first saw the light of day.
...and here is a modern-day photo of the little house in Globe, Arizona, where my parents were living in 1939. It still stands, and the records show that it was built in 1916.

I went out the other morning to try and get the snowcat started.
It was 10° and the batteries were too low to spin the engine fast
enough to start so I had to charge them up for a while.

Got it fired up. Its powered by a 5.0L 4 cylinder Mercedes Benz.
It sounds like a rock crusher when it starts up in the cold.

Got it in the shop. I replaced the old defective battery charger/tender,
checked all the fluid levels and greased all of the grease zerk fittings.
Now it sits in one of our RV campsites with the battery tender
and block heater plugged in waiting for it to snow.
We had a bad year for snow last year and this looks to be another bad year.
We need snow bad.
