Mundane News (Part 1)

Come on WD, Mr WD is getting tired now, he's gone all shiny and red and doesn't like making those engine noises. Having to eat grass at the same time to be convincing is just too much as well... Buy a proper mower will you?

Its a good job I've had my dinner, and I've cut my talons. Jealous much.? Its a lovely lawn mower. Although Mr WD does tend to do most of the err not exactly lawn, but field.

I have a big ride on mower. Jealous?

Not really. You see, I don't have a lawn.

Model type and number please!

It looked from here to be a GE -9, with a whole bunch of shipping containers. Lots of companies shipping from East Asia to Europe or Eastern US will avoid the Panama Canal and offload containers onto trains at Long Beach, stacking these containers 2 high onto special railway cars, and run them on rail across the US to Boston or Newark or Norfolk, then reload them onto ships. Also, Chicago is quite the distribution hub as well. I also bought a tent for $1 US at the church sale, an old Montgomery Ward dome tent, very light, and a very early set of Cannondale Panniers with bar bag also for $1 US (still proudly emblazoned "Bugger" on the label) Cannondale called all their early bicycle products after their bicycle trailer.

Sat in front of rubbish TV, feeling, well, rubbish!

 

[welsh dragon]

Why are you feeling rubbish? That's nasty girl

 

[welsh dragon]

I have just sneezed a number of times in a row.

 

[ScotiaLass]

Why are you feeling rubbish? That's nasty girl

Dunno. Feeling utterly fed up

Todays been a day of two halves, a disappointing morning trying to sell my old KA without success, then an excellent afternoon in Stratford Upon Avon, including an excellent Pork and Apple baguette at Jesters Sandwich Bar in Shrieves Walk, now I'm on Cycle Chat and my Good Lady has crashed out on the settee.

The afternoon sounds bliss!

It was excellent and made up for the disappointing morning.

I've just got back from Clacton.

 

[ScotiaLass]

I'm still awake.....

I rode my bike in 37 mph winds today, a new personal best...
It was darned near 80f as well.
My neighbor brought over his new 29" Mountain Bike for me to see.
A very good day, what with tent and panniers score for the morning,
and Chinese Carry-out for supper.

Noooo. It's shiny and red and has a briggs & stratton? Motor and goes fast

I thought there were sheep to keep your grass short.

The are, but its a rather, patchy effect
