To hot?   I figured Jeff or Gordon would have this already.

I'd have it in a second if I could get out on the bike at all, but weekends are the only time I'm not on full-time kid duty.  It's been up around 108 the past few days!

We've had about 50-60 days over 100 already this year, I think... not this past week though.  It has been in the high 90s and 60-80% humidity  :o  wtf  its not a dry heat this year!

Sweating my ass off in the garage last night.  Got the timing set and rolled up to the bank. I took too long and the temp was reading 99°.  Intend to get  it as soon as I get out of work this afternoon. Hope I don't get beat.

I will only accept 3 bonus points since the actual temp was 103. Seems this one isn't very accurate :D.

Next mark = Train Station. Any old, new, operating or not.
this one happens to be the Amtrak station in Kirkwood, MO.

Ah crap, I was at the Markham Historical train station on Monday for a chapter meeting of the Canadian Vintage Motorcycle Group & I didn't take a damn picture!  Oh well, I'll look for the next one.

Westlake Drive in, Portage, Michigan!





I think someone forgot to tell the owner it's past Spring!


In honor of Summer Olympics sports, I'd like to see an ARCHERY RANGE or an ARCHERY STORE. 

The range needs to have at lease three targets down range.  Or if an indoor range, needs the word RANGE or a synonym out front.

The store must be primarily an archery store and have "Archery" sinage.  I'm not talking a outdoors "superstore" like Cabela's or Bass Pro Shop.  I'm looking for a mom & pop store pretty much dedicated to archery.

Bonus points for a circular bullseye type target in the pic.  Double bonus if your country's flag is also in the pic.

Can I have a motorcycle when I get old enough?
If you take care of it.
What do you have to do?
Lot’s of things. You’ve been watching me.
Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.

Thought I had this one in the bag easily... Satellite photo made it look like an easy target  ;D
But I didn't expect the gate  :o

Not sure if this one qualifies ...

Nice! :)
ok...
Next mark = Your bike with a ball game... in action... in the background.

Any kind of game played with a ball...
Baseball, football, basketball, golf, LaCross, etc.

No cheating by placing a big flat-screen behind your bike, whether American football or rugby is displayed. ;) On the other hand, a live game of hackey-sack might be accepted? ;D

hmmm idk ... maybe if it were Hacky BALL ... but it's a sack.
But as that's the Bandaid of bandages... it's properly referred to as a foot bag.
Now if it were a ball well then it'd be soccer right.... or football.
