Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

Garsh. Papaswrench posted a fine piece of photography that only I commented on, then I followed with my little group, came back and it's the next page gone back to discussion on the plane so far, burying the rest of this page with these posts I missed. I assumed I made the last post on the page, which often few to none catch once the new page comes on. Time to catch up with the past:

I couldn't say on that. It is a fine sailing vessel. There are a few impressive sail boats as well as cabin cruisers. What you see is what I see from the point this 1915 Sears cedar cottage/cabin kit perched on an ancient 18' sand dune was built on. There is an osprey nest at deck level on the river side. The Chesapeake Bay is just to the south, which is where the US Naval Academy is located on the bay.

I only have this other picture on the 'puter right now. I'll get one looking out across the river and other boats in the cove.

To the left from their dock on the shore facing the river. Around the front side of the point. That's the corner of their dingy you see that they use to get to their moored boats

So fine a location south of "The City", as I recall it being called when I spent time up the north coast. I could see my old baby blue '63 Riviera parked in the drive of the "modern" home
I should have commented, at least, that I appreciated your humor. The thread I posted named "I spent the day with a stripper" came to mind immediately. It somehow amazingly went through w/o any overboard comments. No trouble.

Random pic from our last Road Trip 50, 60, 70, 80's...

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

I have a hunch where that trip was to. Cool picture

East Bay hills looking South?

Neta little old Spanish inspired home at Pines on the Severn in MD where I'm working on a waterfront cottage

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

I was thinking about when that little house was maybe built ,,and would give it a shot a 30ies or 40ies (just a guess mind ya)

And so I looked up terra cotta when first used and got this ::: Terracotta was first produced around 1400 BC in Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley,

On the west coast of Oregon where I worked on a many a house ,, there was never not terracotta .. so does it wear out Tim ?

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

It doesn't really wear out. I supposed some tiles could erode if the outer glaze got chipped. I'd say your guess is a good one. I'm pretty sure it's not from the 1300s :lol:. I have seen very few Spanish influence houses like that in MD. I can think of three and I don't think the other two had full terra cotta roofs. It seems some gas stations used them way back when. I think of Santa Barbara when I think of terra cotta in the USA. It's a building code in at least a certain area, even the telephone booths had it when I was there in the '70s

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

Phone booths? What's that.........lol

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

I see you took the bait. :lol::lol:

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

Strippers in church isn't normal? I guess I need to leave this heathen state......lol

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

Wow, both look like a fun place to be.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

One look at that structure and I knew it was something special. A very impressive building for frontier times.
Looks like you are in a good place doing a good thing.

Our ATHS chapter had our summer picnic today. The first time gathering/meeting since The Festivus, our January gathering/meeting. No chapter show in May, no monthly meetings with the restaurant we use closed. We'll be gathering monthly at members' places and are looking at other venues. No room mat my place. This was nearby at the Johnsville Ruritan grounds

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

I dragged my Klunker out to revive it last week. I found the bare frame and fork lying on a farm dump up on the mountain back in '77 and brought it home. It's a '40s Columbia, once a top of the line bicycle. I didn't figure I'd ever find all the parts to restore it but I surely wanted to build something I could ride out of it. Then I read an article about Klunkers being built in Marin County, old balloon tire adult-size bikes with gears adapted to them. They were mostly for rockin' & rollin' downhill and the gears allowed them to be ridden back up. So I found my goal. The process of locating parts led me to Twigg's Cycles in Hagerstown, MD owned by a very enthusiastic man. It was there that I learned of the Schwinn Klunker5 that they had just come out with, and got to ride one. He helped my find some really cool parts for my custom build that consisted of a combination of vintage, beach cruiser (also a new thing), and adapted BMX parts. I built my own version of the Schwinn which was the first adult fat tire off road bicycle, predecessor to the mountain bike.

Well, time moved on, and the bike found it's way to the back of the pack, needing new cables and tires. And now it is getting those parts and she will roll once again! That black bike is the Schwinn I found many years later and ride regularly

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

I sometimes think I might like to ride an old balloon tired bike again, just for old times sake. I mentioned it to the wife last year as an employee had a modern big tire bike for sale cheap. I thought the wife might like it. She wasn't interested. Me? Heck no. I wish I had the energy to ride one again. ;)

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

You still have it. In this area we are lucky to have the C&O Canal National Historic Park. The old tow path is a well maintained hike and bike trail. The grade is so easy you can peddle up river without feeling you are peddling up hill. It runs about 120 miles from Washington, DC to Cumberland, MD in the mountains. There are rail to trail paths all over. Again, trains needed an easy grade so riding is very easy. Check into what might be in your area. It's a great feeling to ride a bike, same as when you were a kid. Good exercise that won't tear you up also. No motor noise lets you ride right up on wildlife, too, same as paddling a canoe or kayak. I love doing both. Paddling down river is easy good exercise. I never hurt after doing that. Usually run between 7 and 15 mile trips. Usually in a kayak on the Shenandoah River in Page Valley, VA. We paddle up on all sorts of wildlife. Both make beer taste really good when you're done

If this pandemic keeps going you're gonna run out of projects..

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

Eventually he will get to assembling that stepper he's had under tarp for many years. ;)

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

Shoot, I let that slip into the pictures to remind you all. I have a little garage built for it, but my son's Ranger I built it around has to get gone first. We finally got the title from his mom...after convincing her it is safe in our hands AND you have to have a title in hand to sell a vehicle!!! I have a file cabinet with a file full of titles. I'm not the one who loses titles. I don't feel like tugging it out just to tuck it in somewhere else. Hopefully he can sell it soon. Life will be good when that happened. It's all closed up, needs doors and a slab, but I'm happy with it as it is for now. Mo' better than under tarp!

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

I finally brought my old Corvette back from my mom's house.

It's a Schwinnvrolet one speed coaster ;)

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

:chevy:

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

Do you name the dog Tiny by chance?
Ha Ha. That's as close to having a Chevrolet corvette I've gotten, too. I even had to sell that! It was a deluxe model, I guess, the other Corvettes I've seen. It was red lacquer with chrome fenders and 3spd

My ancestor who settled where the town my mom lives in and was born and raised in

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

Not my dog . Was in the french quarter and took this shot

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

Ok, you can still call it Tiny though. I do :cool:

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

Tegernsee today

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

My pickle jar. It used to be in the local market on the meat counter. But they were closing their doors (unfortunately) and selling everything off. I've bought a lot of pickles out of that jar. I like pickles. So I bought it.

This is the market it came from. I hope somebody opens it back up.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

It that pre or post crossing the road?

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

Must be pre -- it's not flattened

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Social distancing

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

Im gonna use that chicken crossing the road joke with my grand kids. Im running out of good grandpa jokes =)

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

I'm looking forward to a day in our society when a chicken can cross the road without it's motives being questioned:lol::lol::lol:

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

Chicken lives matter.......lol

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

:lol: That was funnier than the joke! Simple and clever one, ey? In the neighboring town the VFD has a marquee along the main drag through (state hwy). This year it's is for announcing each cancelled event, such as the truck and tractor pull that would have been last night. They had the chicken joke below that and it gave me a good kick. I took that with me on up to the truck show at Carlisle. Yeah Mark, a good clean grandpa joke

More pictures from my current job. Nice boats!

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

Will use in the future! :lol:

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

Winner winner chicken dinner.:lol:

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

I agree and disagree on this matter. I feel their lives matter when I am feeding them but not so much when they are feeding me. It's what's for dinner tonight!
