      What is the time difference between here and Ireland, 8 or so hours?
      sigpic2002 KLR650 Ugly but fun!
      2001 KLR650 too pretty to get dirty

      Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

              <pant, gasp, wheeze>
              I've been here since 6 o'clock, honest.

              Gratified, I am, to get the votes for shot of the messenger.
              Over the years it's been a standard bike, then a rat-like thing (gradual, not aimed at) then gradually became more like the kind of bike I would have wanted it to be back in the late 80s/ early 90s, when it was earning its keep.
              The two 850s, between them, paid for my house and put bread on the table, and apart from the usual failings (leaks, stator, etc) they did it fairly faultlessy every day.
              This one of the pair has become my daily (the other one awaits an engine refurb) for the past decade, and it's now clocked up more than 300K miles, so it's doing quite well. Of course, by this time a lot of the factory parts have been replaced or upgraded, so it's hardly realistic to claim that it covered that mileage in orginal trim. This one is also the test bed for the SU (and has been since 1993 or so), and I'm finally getting it dialed in right, hence the oxygen sensor as was noticed earlier.
              The advent of decent output LED H4 bulbs finally allowed me to run auxiliary lights like I always wanted to do, but the standard charging system wasn't capable of running if they were all halogens, of course.

              I've been thinking of a theme for the next week, and decided that I'd like railways / railroads. Tracks, stations, engines, level crossings, anything at all to do with the permanent way.

                Here is my train picture... Two Locomotives one is the year 1900 variety, the other is the 2000 variety. This picture was taken in Dodge City Kansas. I couldn't wait to get out of Dodge... Anyone that has been there knows what I mean.

                      Canadian trains are so long, they must just bump one wagon on at the end, and uncouple one 2000 miles away, like one of these...

                          LOL....I hate having to explain my photos. Pic should be good enough I don't have to.

                          So, for those of you that haven't been to the Daniel Boone National Forest, here is what that tunnel is about.

                            I have to admit that I’m a bit of a train geek. If anyone here is a steam locomotive fan I recommend looking up Union Pacific’s steam program. Truly epic work they’ve done restoring and running a few of their old steamers.

                              No example pic? I have an idea for you. How about a shot of you pulling a locamotive with that "gnarly workhorse". haha

                              It can be a bit of an arduous task finding a new theme. I've tried a few different methods.

                              looking through photos on file, then deciding on a theme to match whichever pic I choose.
                              Coming up with a theme then looking through pics to choose one.
                              Going for a ride and looking around for something interesting and figure a theme idea from that scene.
                              Think of a theme and a scene then ride to get it.
                              Wait for my wife to get up on Saturday morning and ask her to help choose one. I've even asked my kids for their input. My daughter took some photography classes and has had great insight into what makes a particular photo interesting. Too bad she moved to Vegas.

                              I think it helps for me to keep an eye out in daily travels to know where potential new stuff is. That's assuming I don't forget about it around the next turn. LOL

                                I think I used the pic I initially posted before, but can't remember using this one so...
