    I’m with you and totally understand. I chose to live in the country and it has always been, “Let live”. But when it comes to on the property, poisonous snakes is the only exception. This last winter I scooped up a rattler in a shovel down by the barn and moved him to the 40 acres next store. On the trail or on the road everything is left alone, but on the property I have 3 dogs, 2 donkeys, and a draft horse. So poisonous snakes on the property unfortunately expire. My Uncle has captured and relocated and have had timber rattlers return, so I don’t take that chance anymore.

    I once used a hoe for 8 hours straight. I was younger then, so my stamina was pretty good...

    The OC Register says it was between a motorcycle and a bicycle... The motorcyclist collided with a tree, and was pronounced dead at the scene. No other details at the time. :thumbsdown:

    We saw something sort of disturbing today during our ride and certainly interesting, in the name of Science.

    The sulfur springs in the Cheseboro area have begun to flow again. Something I have only ever seen after a good rain. Yet it's been hot and dry for a few months now.

    Thinking it is related to the recent considerable earthquake activity in our state.

    We are totally smoked out up here in the Crescenta Valley. I'm coughing and my throat is burning. Darn Eagle Rock fire!!! :mad:

    Smoke has made it into the San Gabriel Valley and all the way down into Orange County.

    Looks like it's basically done, 30 acres, 100 homes evac'd. Freeways are to open up at around 10pm tonight. But the smoke is lingering.

    Chicken Nugget Nate reports from Rancho Mission Viejo: “Maiden voyage on the [Canyon] Spectral [CF 7.0] was eventful. Washed out the front, front brake rotor sliced my shin pretty good. Chain started throwing over cassette...scratched the frame @ BB but looks to be superficial. Got home and washed the bike and discovered rear wheel was lose, likely causing the chain throw.”

    He’s the Nugget who drove his Trek Remedy into the house on his roof rack entering the garage after last year‘s Wildhorse to SART epic. The Remedy survived and now serves back-up duty.

    No flower in Truckee; it's 20 min. down the hill in Reno. Summa Skittles gets an enthusiastic thumbs up from one sativa fan. OG Pebbles hybrid, nice and a bit more laid back.

    Happy Friday eve kickoff to your holiday weekend! :)

    I've been racing dirt bikes in the desert for 30 years and I've only killed one rattlesnake. It's rare that I see one in the desert. The snake was in camp mid-summer near Ridgecrest with many kids nearby. I couldn't even leave to get a proper shot gun. I killed it with a hammer that I used for setting up my satellite dish.- Blackstar/Chino Hills? Heck I'm surprised if I don't see a rattler on a typical ride! :confused: I'm glad you didn't get bit @Mikie !

    Absolutely not self explanatory. But on this topic, I prefer blissful ignorance. :thumbsup:

    I will repeat the words and see if I am truly the only one who has no idea what you are talking about, other than it's related to pot smoking:
