Thread: Road pics

Yes, it was just last year that the yo-yo fad came back in for it's usual two week duration for my oldest child. So of course i had to go out and get three yo-yo's. One for each of my children so that there would be no fights (There were anyway, and I should have foreseen it!). Well while I was looking for them, I was shocked first by the price of the cheapest ones. I never remembered them as costing much, and admittedly they still don't...Well, the cheapest ones don't, but they cost more now than they used to. I also had to get myself one and I thought I was going all out paying $15 for this you beaut thing with bearings and a clutch system, but what I've just seen blows that out of the water and kicks it in the guts for good measure! I just took a look at their online store. My lord what you can pay for a kids toy these days!

So it is possible that you might have actual real fullsize trucks (Tractor if you prefer) instead of just those half size things I saw so many of. I could well be wrong! The size of the trucks I saw when I was over there, are considered small here, we have them, but they're in the minority.

Ours are always dirtier. More wheels too I think.

Somewhere near the border between South Australia and the Northern Territory on a stop over on an army trip up north...Early 90's.

Unfortunately that's not my bike, i wish it was. Here's a photo of mine. the 34th bike from the left, another recent road trip, over 200 bikes and a 300 km round trip. Keeps you on your toes riding with that many.

My dog was bored so we went for a quick drive this evening. Stuffed a cob full of bullseye flake and saw some cows up in the Buttes.

Today's pic.....

That one makes my head hurt!

My Mexican buddy Paco was going to release some fish today, so I drove down and took a couple pictures. This is just South of Yuba City Ca on the Feather River. Little 8 inch salmon, spawned in the Hatchery in Oroville, and turned loose to try to make it past the Striped Bass on their way to the San Francisco Bay. If they make it to the Pacific Ocean, get bigger, they can come back up the river to Oroville and start the cycle over again. Good luck little fishies!!

Took these quite a while back, while out walking the dog, some Highland cattle on a local farm a few winters ago, and a few from a holiday in St Ives Cornwall, and one from my local Thomas town park. plus an updated photo of me and my boy Oscar a few weeks ago.

a nice little swimming hole

girl jumpers




there were 97 jumpers and between their sponsors, a raffle and an auction just under 155k was raised.
