Cycling Trip/ Short Video Clip

Just some scenes from Columbus. I have to say the Cycling Trails there are nice. There’s scenery to match. This time the bicycle was on point. A new Genesis 700. It had a longer frame than I’m used to, so there was a little more effort required for turning. It was a hybrid so it was smooth under most of the terrain we crossed. It didn’t feel like it had enough brake power, had to adjust them.


That contraption on the handlebars let’s you know what gear your in. (They could have left that off) High tech, huh ? Never the less it was a nice set of wheels.

My buddy was riding this, of all things a GMC Denali. It’s true that’s the name of the bike. (Too old school for my tastes) With those ram style handlebars. More like a racer, but too heavy.

This park was situated by Blacklick. I Guess it’s a creek, river….Nice. The Park itself is beautiful, with paved bicycle lanes that go on for miles and miles.




Oddly enough there was an older gentleman walking a large Weimaraner(Dog). When he got over to us you couldn’t help but notice the dog had one eye missing. She was permanently blinking. Sorry it wasn’t funny. She was sweet and her coat was beautiful. She just wanted some petting going on.

Speaking of animals, there were all sorts of wildlife that I normally wouldn’t get to see. This bird along with his family was flying over in attack sequence. This photo was taken at a distance, and zoomed in, so you can imagine the size of this bad boy. His body was probably 2 feet tall. I believe this was a Hawk. They were checking us out. I think we where too close to their nest.

So in all, it was a good get a way, and the weekend came to a close. I can’t seem to find my Hawk video, but when I do I’ll post it to this article. Hope you had as good of a time as I did.  For two old men, we road about 30 miles that day. Nice

The Harvest/Gardening 2011 Final

 

Well it was definitely a good summer for Tomatoes. I got around 40 Tomatoes. Out of those, the bugs and critters got 4. The two odd ones are deformed Beefsteaks. They are strange looking. So far, 7 have turned red. There’s still about 10 more on the vines. This is the first time I didn’t get any yield from the Squash. Yes, out of three plants, all the little veggies shriveled, the blooms were gorgeous though.

I did try something a little different. I used Zinnias around the border fence, they were just a little larger than I imagined they would be, but very nice. I noticed this thing on my Tomatoes. I’d never seen one before. The “experts,” at work said it’s a Tomato Bug. Only a mother could love the way this thing looks. But I’ll be darned if it didn’t eat half a tomato plant before I noticed. Then it started growing these little white “rice crispies'” all over it. By then I’d   removed it..And if you remember me planting SunFlowers, one came up out of three. For the first time in years there were Monarchs in my yard.

Oh, yes. The Tomatoes were A through Z-licious. Not just D ! There’s still more to pick.

In Loving Memory

Mrs. Delores Glover

Services were Saturday at Emmanuel Baptist Church, Cleveland, Ohio

Sad HUH

 

 

This is not a retouched picture. Too bad I can’t say the same for this guy. This happened on the train today on the way home from work. Yes, that is a pair of men’s underwear pinned to the back of his jeans. Yes, those are plastic forks and spoons somehow fastened to his head. Many people  reacted, but no one bothered him. He walked through the mall like that, went to pay his fare and got on the train, and rode home (I guess). I think he one-upped the saggers.
