If i were one of those cats i would be pissed that i don't go on minibike rides with the little kitty helmet, little kitty goggles, and little kitty biker jacket.

Don't forget to have them packin' too. Better to have them and not need them, than to need them and not have them.

Funny you should mention that... came home the other day to find the pit bike under the carport, not in the monkeybike shed where I usually store it. Sage & Jingle Belle were lurking nearby, guilty looks upon their faces... I reached down and felt the motor, and sure enough, it was still warm. I reckon Mr. Sagers took Jingle Belle for a ride, he's the only cat with legs long enough to reach the shifter. Heard a throaty growl behind me, and turned to see Crackhead rolling up on the FrankenBike... flat-out BUSTED!!! Not only that, he was wearing my helmet & Hero cam, the blasted varmint... probably uses my laptop to post kitteh cycle videos when I'm absent. Needless to say, all kittehs were immediately grounded. In retaliation, one of the varmints hacked up a nasty hairball on my pillow... I found it that evening when I laid my head down, 10-4? Could've been worse, I suppose---something from the other end, if ya gets my drift. :confused:

CJ, that squirrel number is just WRONG... I'm gonna have nightmares after seeing that post. As long as the local squirrels don't start wearing do rags & listening to gangsta rap, I guess I can get used to them packin' heat. Squirrels strapped in da 'hood, a scary concept... :eek:
 
Just a few shots of the 'hood, plus the humble BBQ I had recently with Chicago Dogs & pork chops... more sauce was dumped on everything shortly after those pics were taken. I was trying to catch the moon in those tree pics, and Jingle Belle at the base of a tall pine across the narrow lane (don't think you can see her, a black speck over there at the base of a tree).

Those three ears of white corn look small, LOL, while that crab apple (off one of my trees) was delicious when cut up into little pieces and tossed atop extra BBQ sauce and applesauce on those chops. I actually yanked this stuff off the grill shortly after I took this pic, then slathered extra BBQ sauce and applesauce on the chops before macking, LOL. I always cook hot dogs in batches on the grill, then bag the leftovers so I can quickly reheat them over the next few days... on those beef dogs, I like sauerkraut, sweet hot mustard, ketchup, maybe a little mayo on the bun first. Sometimes I'll swap relish for sauerkraut. HEALTH FOOD, BABY, HEALTH FOOD!!! LOL... :eek:
 
Been in a bit of a slump lately, down in the dumps about a few things... being too old for my Depot Cutie, giving away my skate because my knee is still thrashed (three months already, guess it'll never be 100% again), having my book turned down again by ZOG & globalist kike minions because the content is not politically correct... "YES, VIRGINIA, THERE IS SUCH A THING AS A GLOBALIST AGENDA, AND A PATRIOTIC WHITE HETERO MALE NO LONGER HAS A VOICE IN SOCIETY!!!" Meh, some of the stories were already published, so the last thing to do is strip the book down, chapter by chapter, and post each chapter (or story) on the Internet. WTF, I'll shotgun that material across the worldwide web, and to hell with the globalist trash... if I wrote a fictional autobiography about being a gay ****** who suffered at the hands of malicious (Christian) white folk, it'd be an instant New York Times bestseller, PFFFFFFFFFT. Looks like I picked the wrong dream, good thing I only wasted 25 years on it, LOL. :eek:

Thinking of going riding tomorrow or the next day, I haven't been in awhile since I've been processing bad thoughts. There's a stretch of the Maverick Trail I'd like to try, I heard it is smoother than some of the other sections. Probably take the evil pit bike this time, same bike that threw me last time I rode it, LOL. Full pads & helmet, of course, and wrist guards to boot... I'll charge up the Hero cam for this adventure, see if I can't find some new scenery for y'all, maybe an elk or two if I'm lucky. :red70:

Walked into a trucking yard this morning to pick up an application, gonna do the same tomorrow with a logging outfit in a nearby town... gotta start thinking about cash flow now that my bank reserves are diminishing. Still no lodger yet, despite running ads for what? Two months now? Three? I can't remember, but I haven't found a decent lodger yet, though I came close a couple times. I know there's one out there, maybe even two if they're the right kinda people. Relatively sane, drama-free types with some sort of steady income, so I know they can pay the goddam rent, 10-4? Conservative gun-totin' rednecks, no problem, they're just the kind I want as lodgers, LOL. House Rule #1: The cats will NOT be used for target practice!!! Truth is, they might shoot back... lately, they've been swaggering around the house with pistols on their hips, Stetsons tilted downward to shade their eyes as they puff on thin cigarros, LOL. Cue the Ennio Morricone music!!! :whistle:

GOTTA RUN, TALK TO Y'ALL LATER... MAYBE I SHOULD LOOK INTO A JOB WITH THE FOLKS AT DAILY STORMER, LOL. :ROFLMAO:

Still down in the dumps, haven't even been riding... just not in the mood, I guess. Been feelin' a bit lonely, away from family & friends for so long. Took a few pics during yesterday's rain, it came down steadily for quite a while and gave my lawn a good soaking. Some shots were taken through window screens, so they're not really clear, but y'all get the general idea. Rain was falling harder than it appears to be in these photos, one shot shows a river running down my front walkway.

Great, now the computer is f#%g up... that figures. Oh, well, maybe next time... :confused:
 
Rained again this evening, and I mean pouring down... good thing I'm not in a flash flood zone, y'all probably heard about the recent flash flooding that killed ten people over by Payson and Flagstaff. Some of these canyons and washes become regular deathtraps when flash flooding occurs, best to stay on high ground once the rain starts coming down. The thunderclaps here in the White Mountains are the LOUDEST I've ever heard, I have to kill the stupid car alarm every time a boomer hits... the kittehs don't like those boomers much either, they scatter like roaches and hide under furniture when the thunder starts rolling across the sky. :eek:
 
Went shooting the other day, and picked up a few shots of the sky... clouds here are so real they look fake. Also bagged a couple shots of Sage & Jingle Belle hangin' out in my room today.

Maybe you should strap that GoPro cam to one of those cats and get it to climb up those trees.lol. That would make some interesting footage......of course you may loose your camera that way.

Have to duct tape the camera to the cat's head, no way the helmet will fit... easy enough for the tape to go on, not so easy to remove, LOL. :confused:

Be advised, popular lore has it that legendary French lion tamer...the late, lamented, Claude Balles began his career in a similar manner...o_O
 
Late, lamented... LOL. Took a scenic drive yesterday down to Salt River Canyon, a recon of sorts to explore recreational opportunities. Figured I'd share the pics of the canyon, which is impressive and sometimes referred to as the "Mini Grand Canyon"---over 4000' deep at its deepest point, but not quite as deep in these photos. Awhile back, some motorcyclist parked his bike in this area, walked to the edge (probably to take a selfie), then slipped and fell to his death... the recovery team used a drone to locate the corpse 425' down a sheer cliff, and that was just the first drop at the rim, you can see in these pics that there are multiple drops in many places. Killer venue, the Salt River Canyon, the views are amazing. Oh, yeah, the first few pics taken behind the wheel of the Camry show the transition from tall pines to cedar country to high desert... Salt River Canyon lies about 45 miles away from my house by odometer, call it at least an hour's drive due to variable speed limits. Got a few rounds of pics, here we go:

Some literal @$$clown put that toilet in one turnout... moi, I would've spun it around 180 degrees and moved it closer to the rim for a better view, no magazine rack required, LOL. Maybe it's somebody's idea of art, though it doesn't do the canyon justice. In that last pic, toward the upper left, you can see the kind of sheer drop that hapless biker took when he went over the edge... "Yeah, here's your selfie."
 
Round #2 of recon pics, showing views of Salt River Canyon from various vantage points along the rim. These shots were taken along that stretch of US60 which drops into the canyon on the way to Globe, AZ, which lies farther toward Mesa & Phoenix... I didn't drop all the way into the canyon, I just took pics from the side closest to Show Low.

Nice "flying buttresses" on that one cliff, reminds me of a cathedral, LOL.

That memorial is not for the hapless biker, the slope isn't steep enough at that point... probably someone who rolled his vehicle or got hit by an inbound rig in the turnout.
 
Round #5 of recon pics... the first few shots show a party cave where stoners climb up to smoke bowls o' weed, the clowns left graffiti inside the cave. Don't be fooled by the pinner Canon camera, Becker Butte towers above the cave, you'd know it if you fell off it, LOL. Halfway through this set, we leave Salt River Canyon and head back toward Show Low to see what we can find... haven't seen a Sinclair dinosaur in ages, 10-4? The last two pics show a smaller canyon, but still impressive in its own right. That may be a tributary to the Salt River, I didn't bother looking at a map. More pics of that second canyon in a moment...

That last shot simply shows a meadow under the tall pines as we cruise back to Show Low... the trees around my house might be a little taller, but anywhere ya go under the tall pines, the country sure is pretty. If I win the PowerBall jackpot, I'm gonna buy a huge chunk of land and set up a bad@$$ monkeybike racecourse through the trees, LOL... y'all will be invited to visit, bring your bikes, ride huge berms and fly off jumps, WOOHOO!!! :red70:
 
Looks like somebody (possibly an Apache) lopped the tops off those fruit with a knife... I think they normally have flowers on top, right? Maybe those flowers are good in a salad, LOL. I know the "leaves" get eaten south o' the border, once the spines are burned or broken off. :unsure:

That's what they look like in the produce section at the super mercado. The flowers drop off long before the fruit ripens. Cactus leaves...a.k.a. Nopalitos are okay, kinda remind me of green beans
