For Old Guys Only

[Greg58]

This is still a hard subject for me, I lost both of my parents by the time I was 25. My mom passed when I was 19 of colon cancer, my dad six years later of a heart attach. With mom it was expected since she had been through four operations, dad was on the job installing a standing seem roof on a historic hotel in downtown when he had the attach. I'm not complaining, it made me to better realize how important family is, we spend as much time as possible with our children and my wife's parents. For those that still have their parents ask as much as possible, one day you will not be able to.

I also miss my mother and father , in a two year period I lost both of them and my best friend and my dog. I still talk to them but its a one sided conversation . Life is like a roll of toilet paper , the closer you get to the end , the faster it goes.

My Dad died in 1978 at 71. Smoking for 60+ years wasn't kind to him in the end. My Mom died in 2015 at 103-1/2. She was in good health up until the last couple of weeks.

I still talk to both of them every day. It fills the void in life now that they are gone.

I'm getting tired of this daily commute. Maybe I'll move down to the lower end of town and save myself the trip back up.

Hi Tom. Hope all is well.

I've seen that on youtube, that guy is either real brave or real stupid, one mistake and he could hurt several people. Tom you about ready to build another bike?

Course organiser's meeting before the race went like this:
"We don need no stinkin' 'ealth an' safety. Our race is good to go, yes?
Cardboard armco barriers on the tightest bends, Check.
Ribbon crowd fencing, Check.
Spectator space grouped in the deadliest hazard areas, Check.
Hmmm, all we're missing is some poor creature to jump over at the 28 second-in mark. Anyone got a dog?
Hold my beer while I go round up ol' Rabid Rex..."

In a world without litigation the spirit of a race promoter is set free...guys just need to go fast! The Baja is the poster race for spectators placing themselves in extremis! The starts are especially lacking in "social distancing" from the massive unlimited trucks with three plus feet of suspension travel and well, unlimited power. Must be exciting but for me I'm back way way back from the action as a spectator.

I saw a Red Bull sign on the bike. Wonder if it was one of their races.

I used to ride like that when I was i invulnerable 51 years hence my invulnerability is kaput but you never really get over the early mindset.

There is another video I had seen that looks the same, only it takes on much narrower paths through a village. The onlookers safety I guess as a lot of racing not so much a concern.

Have to think why I see this video appear again after mentioning it on MB 1 hr ago above. Anyway here it is.

Hop cones among the conifers. I'll watch to see when to pick the cones off, but still a few months before it gets cold.

For a laugh... last 1/4 of video is where it happens if you want to skip to it.

I guess it could be in what I'd like to motorize posts?

Work load must have been light enough for a little play?
Was this a "Here hold my beer" ?
I must find a consenting adult with a curious nature and a interest in Physics.
From my experience Bosh has the best power supply.
From Calzone to Physics, what does not get you going? Picture me as a Jack Russel.

Who is up for a little movie trivia? What with the plague and all most of us are staying indoors and I've found lots of time to waste time. So I'm proposing we have a little fun. I'll post a picture, you tell what movie its from and a famous line from that movie. I'll make the first one simple to see how this will go over.
