OK - will add the same one as before… Laconia, NH Bike week (‘04 - I think).  L to R - Me, My step-mother, Father & Friend of the family….  All still riding (though now parents moved to GA from NH - little bit longer riding season down there - so I’m a little jealous)

How do you get a riding season longer than 365.25 days / year?  Thats my riding season in MA….

I’d never make it down my driveway or onto the paved road at my house…. usually from about December to March.

Not everyone who plays with stingrays lives to tell the tale.

Yes, Steve Irwin - Rest In Peace.

By the way, these animals are really intelligent - it’s a wierd feeling to have them slither over your torso or arms. We had some squid that we fed them - they sucked it out of my hand like a vacuum cleaner. Just do not step on them or you will be really sorry! smile

Great photograph, Ryan. Looks like you’ve got some future firewood cutters with you.

Hey Thanxs

Question, how do I get the pic to be posted on the screen? instead of gong to my photobucket account. I know I need to use a code on either side, what is it?

For some reason, you have to reply to the post, put in some text and post the reply. Then go in and edit the post, and use the “browse” button at the bottom of the screen. I don’t know why there’s no way to attach photos to unedited posts, but that’s the way it works on my computers.

Based on the pics it seems the group on average looks like they are in pretty good health.  Wondering if heating with wood keeps you in better shape?

The picture option is not available for “Fast Reply” (that’s why it’s fast), but it’s there for “Post Reply”, which is the long form. That’s also where options like spell check reside.
