See, it never ends.<br /><br />I typically don't ride much in June as my allergies are the worst. Just as well Brad is teaching 3 out of 5 weekends this month.<br />Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-50399437928506014522014-06-01T09:45:39.294-07:002014-06-01T09:45:39.294-07:00Apparently they've been hiding out in Oregon t...Apparently they've been hiding out in Oregon this whole time......

Of your bike pics, the Norton #60 is my favorite machine. Loved your flower pics, especially the Ninebark (Physocarpus), which I'm pretty sure I've never seen or even heard of before.

For fun I say the latin name for the flower when I see it, just to test myself, then repeat the common name.<br /><br />I did not notice the Sears Puch behind it. As you can tell from the pic, there were quite a few people in that area. I don't think we managed to see every bike even though there weren't as many this year.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-74853840240936789352014-05-22T08:18:22.187-07:002014-05-22T08:18:22.187-07:00I checked with Brad and he said it was used for pu...I checked with Brad and he said it was used for putting out fires.

I remember hubby not being impressed when a customer asked him to hand wash/wipe each leaf on a hydrangea before she would purchase it. He was not happy, but of course he did it.<br /><br />Maybe Pieris. They do really well here and are abundant, but don't bloom all summer long. We've transitioned to interesting foliage to compensate for lack of bloom time to some extent. Colorful Ninebark and also Barberry and Spirea too.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-54225200007966060422014-05-21T18:11:53.004-07:002014-05-21T18:11:53.004-07:00Trobairitz,

I love to look at old technology but after having a few collector cars I would rather something modern and reliable. My friend has a Norton Commando 850 and he bought it new back around 1971. It is in showroom condition.<br /><br />so glad you managed to get home before you got soaked but I suppose that Troubadour could have gotten soaked instead by walking home and driving back in the car to collect you.<br /><br />We generally stay home on long weekends too. The USA border line was already 2 hours long at 8am and later reached nearly 4 hours. When I come across the border I generally like to get there before 6am and even then I have to wait 15-20 minutes.<br /><br />Our bike swap meet was cancelled this year due to policing costs.<br /><br />bob<br /><a href="http://www.photobobb.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">A weekend photographer</a> or <a href="http://www.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Riding the Wet Coast</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-43878147810957490662014-05-21T11:58:19.841-07:002014-05-21T11:58:19.841-07:00oooooooh, yay for meeting barb! i follow her (secr...oooooooh, yay for meeting barb! i follow her (secretly, or lol, maybe just quietly) as well. super fun stuff trobairitz! looks like a blast of a weekend! and, i just love that custom honda. great pics of fun times! :) mq01https://www.blogger.com/profile/11742343758057005313noreply@blogger.com
