MAGA Republicans and Donald Trump started a whole war with the Haitian community over false rumors. Over 300,000 Haitians can vote in Florida.

@Jezibaba
Totally! ๐ช ๐
@p3R1n01D How you been??
@Jezibaba
Short version: Not bad, thanks. And you?
Long version: Up, down, and all around! ๐
I left DemCast late last winter over some weird internal bs, plus personal lack of time.
Dad was diagnosed with breast cancer, but was early stages and he's 100% recovered now.
I trimmed my toenails. ๐คทโโ๏ธ ๐
And -- we've got bunnies in the backyard! ๐ ๐ฐ
I was off CoSo most of the summer, just started poking back in a month ago.
I've missed you and the others! How's it going with you?
@Jezibaba
OMG, that's a gorgeous front yard! ๐ 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. ๐
Congrats on your toenails! ๐ ๐ Bummer about the crud, I'll send healing vibes! ๐ ๐ฟ๏ธ
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.
@Jezibaba
That's where I'm at, scurrying before the snows fly! Gorgeous pics! ๐
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. ๐ช โค๏ธ
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. ๐ ๐ Love won. โค๏ธ
@p3R1n01D you should have had your nuts buried well before September! ๐
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. โค๏ธ
@Jezibaba
LOL! ๐ Yeah, I have a special team working diligently to bury those nuts in time. ๐ This is Daisy. โค๏ธ ๐ฟ๏ธ
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! โค๏ธ
@Jezibaba
LOL! ๐คฃ ๐คฃ ๐คฃ I'm definitely stealing that! ๐
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! ๐
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. ๐
@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. ๐๐ผ๐
@Jezibaba
That's the only way to ride a Ninja! ๐ ๐ช
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. ๐คญ๐๐ I stand corrected.
Which canyons??
I love going fast too. ๐๐ผ
@Jezibaba
Yeah, I love the feel of riding a rocket! ๐ ๐ Glad I started small though, probably why I'm alive today. ๐
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! ๐
@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. ๐ Was it an easy decision for you to make?
