OMG, that's a gorgeous front yard! 😍 Are those aspens? I love those, my backyard is full of them. Looks like autumn is a bit further along for you, but we'll catch up fast.

Dad and I share a house, so sometimes too nearby. 😂

Congrats on your toenails! 🎉 😂 Bummer about the crud, I'll send healing vibes! 😊 🐿️

Yeah, it felt like DemCast was falling apart this year. Getting too automated in the wrong places. Lori Coleman, founder and & of 3 working Directors, left last winter too.

@p3R1n01D They are! I have yet to figure out which one is mama but I have a ton of saplings because of her. Autumn is here. Luckily, the temps are still warm enough to get stuff finished before the snows fly.

Oh my. I probably knew that but forgot. I'm happy he had you with him while he was going through hell.

Thank you!

What a shame. 😕 Was it an easy decision for you to make?

Potters Marsh and Girdwood in autumn.

@Jezibaba
That's where I'm at, scurrying before the snows fly! Gorgeous pics! 😍

Thanks! It's an honor to help him where I can, he's always been there for me. My hero. He even helped lift a motorcycle off a guy after an accident he saw last week! He's 80. 💪 ❤️

Yeah, it was a tough decision. On the one hand, the importance of this election and the good I believed DemCast can do. On the other, my aging father and the golden hours we can share. Talking politics. 😉 😂 Love won. ❤️

@p3R1n01D you should have had your nuts buried well before September! 😂

He sounds like a good man, and lucky to have you in his life still. Is the rider okay?

You chose well. It always wins. ❤️

@Jezibaba
LOL! 😂 Yeah, I have a special team working diligently to bury those nuts in time. 😂 This is Daisy. ❤️ 🐿️

I think the rider was okay. An ambulance was called and took him inside, but he declined transport and said he was okay. Dad and I both used to ride, so helping others is still the code.

Yeah, love is always the right choice! ❤️

@p3R1n01D lovely miss daisy! Working hard.

That's a relief. What did you ride?

@Jezibaba
LOL! 🤣 🤣 🤣 I'm definitely stealing that! 😂

I started on a Yamaha XS 400. Sweet little bike! With it's 6 gears and low center of gravity, I could scream through the canyons. Even beat a guy on a crotch rocket who thought he wanted to drag race, and I had a passenger. It's all in the clutch! 😎

Later I had a Suzuki 550, and a Yamaha XS 650. I had sold that and was looking at a classic Kawasaki KZ 1000 when my buddy lost his leg on his Ninja. I bought a 4x4 pickup instead. 😉

@p3R1n01D dirt bikes! Did you ride a circuit?

Fastest I've ever ridden was on a Ninja. I knew it would be over if one thing went wrong.

Please give my hellos and a high five to your dad for me. 🙌🏼💙

@Jezibaba
That's the only way to ride a Ninja! 👊 💪

Most of mine were street bikes, actually, but I did have a dirt bike for a while. Wow, totally different critter! And fun!

Both of my Yamahas started off like the first pic, the 400 was even the same color. I got shorter handlebars for the 400, and really cafe-racered out the 650. A lot like the second pic, but with a cafe fairing and slightly more comfortable seat. I loved going fast, especially in the canyons!

@p3R1n01D oh, you were riding the big ones. 🤭😛😄 I stand corrected.

Which canyons??

I love going fast too. 🙌🏼

@Jezibaba
Yeah, I love the feel of riding a rocket! 🚀 😁 Glad I started small though, probably why I'm alive today. 😉

Boulder (CO) is nestled right up against the mountains, so I'd usually head straight up Boulder Canyon. From Nedderland, the Peak-to-Peak highway runs North-South, and connects to dozens of smaller canyons and mountain roads.

I also liked long trips, been to every corner of the state. Once late at night, my buddy and I went to Cheyenne, WY for coffee at Denny's! 😂

@p3R1n01D @Jezibaba

Lived in northern CO—LaPorte outside Ft Collins. We went to Cheyenne for breakfast routinely.

@LnzyHou @Jezibaba
Well howdy, neighbor! 🤠

@p3R1n01D @Jezibaba

Many years ago. Worked the WOLF sanctuary up Rist Canyon.

@LnzyHou @Jezibaba
Oh wow, that's awesome! 🐾 ❤️ I've always loved wolves.

I can't remember if you've mentioned what part of the country you live in now. I've more or less been all over, but Colorado has always been home.

@p3R1n01D @Jezibaba

Just moved from Asheville NC to northern NJ.
