Ominous

Posted on October 30, 2015 by cyetso

The commute home started out nice, if a bit blustery. Then this –

It suddenly dropped ten degrees, and 6 minutes later I was enjoying a thoroughly rainy ride home. No complaints.
Actually, the headwind kinda sucked. There was that.

Last of the year

Posted on October 28, 2015 by cyetso

Snuck out for a ride a couple weeks back. Only took one picture –

And not a very good one at that. Whatever, it’s got a motorcycle and a train and some fall looking leaves. And that’s that. Time to put the motorcycle away for the winter, we’ll revisit in the spring.

The freeloader

Posted on October 27, 2015 by cyetso

Yes, it’s definitely fall –

He jumped up there on my way to work the other day, and stayed there for 20 some odd miles. Probably would still be there if a coworker hadn’t pulled him out.

Someone needs to clean and lube their drivetrain.

Just sayin.

No, no, no. Don’t get up.

This is Trailer (Well, that’s what I nicknamed him anyway. I don’t know his real name, and he doesn’t wear a collar. So I call him Trailer cause he’s always hanging around, sitting in the middle of the trail I use on my bike commute.) –

That’s pretty much his spot right there. About halfway home for me. I suspect he’s about halfway home too. Just hanging out in the awesome Fall sunshine. He’s a cool cat.

Today, the little bastard bit me. I think he was angry I didn’t bring treats. I’ll see what I can dig up for tomorrow.

Synchronized Grass Eating –

This group pretty much has it figured out.

Good work deer, you’re saving the company bundles on landscaping services.

Contrasts

Posted on October 20, 2015 by cyetso

Dunno why, just like the contrasts of colors here –

Spotted on a storefront flower box in Truckee.

That’s all.

He’ll be right back, I promise –

He just went in for a cup of coffee. Relax.

Okay, Bonneville on the Columbia –

Cool spot. If you’re ever in the area, it’s worth a peek.

Scenery

Monterey has some of the best –

The critters were out in force. Some just looking for food –

Some had already eaten and were taking their afternoon nap –

Some were just busy keeping up appearances –

Good work Mother Nature, you’re doing it right.

Racecar spelled backwards is….

Posted on October 12, 2015 by cyetso

Stopped by the racetrack a couple weekends back, and bumped into our favorite racing driver. Bit of a surprise to see him, though I suspect it shouldn’t have been. The Porsche folks were having a bit of a soiree at Laguna Seca, and invited Ned to bring along his RSR for the weekend’s activities. Ned is a gearhead of the first order, and a certified Porsche freak, so him being at Rennsport is only natural.

A few shots –

There’s literally hundreds of shots of some really cool stuff from the day at the track. One morning I might get bored enough that I’ll sort out the best of them and post ’em up.

And a note to the racing driver in question;

Ned, you’re a bit of a –

That’s why it’s always good to see you and Kat.

Next time we’ll get together when things aren’t so hectic for you guys.
