Beautiful countryside, well done MU. Do you ever canoe that river?
Animals huh ?
This is pure animal, everyone I know calls it the 'mankiller'.
Bored and ported billet cylinder, billet stroked stuffer crank, custom 18:1 compression piston, big Walbro carb, expansion chamber exhaust.
Runs on pure nitromethane (seriously) with 15% caster oil, tuned by me, max rpm 22,500 (yes, really), max speed 54 mph radar certified.
Mankiller because it's got a violent power curve and will wheelie with a 200 lb. man aboard....when it wheelies you lose control and bleed from numerous places.
You have to lean as far forward as possible to keep the front wheel on the ground.....not kidding in the slightest, many can attest, many have bled (everyone who has been on it, not 1 unbled rider).
Everyone near it loves the nitromethane smell, distinct and wonderful

Les Claypool, an absolute animal on the bass, playing a Whamola. " The Whamola is a direct descendant of the washtub bass, an American folk instrument popular with skiffle and jug bands, and features a single string which is manipulated via a pulley-and-lever system. The pulley mechanism is mounted in place of the tuning pegs at the top of a double-bass-style neck, which is attached to a wooden or metal body featuring a bridge, pickup and stand. The Whamola is played by hitting the string with a drum stick and either fretting it against the neck with the other hand or using the lever to alter its tension and change the pitch."

Yes, we call it 'sakinim' over here.. if you go somewhere for lunch and they give you a blackened knife to eat with, then you know what happened the night before
The older (antique) knives seem to be best for it. Get the best out of your stash of hash, use knives!

Yeah, for some reason the silver handled ones were preferred technically. Supposedly it took longer for the silver handle to heat up, or something like that.Yes, we call it 'sakinim' over here.. if you go somewhere for lunch and they give you a blackened knife to eat with, then you know what happened the night before

Since we are on the topic, I'll bring up bottle tokes as well. Quite gross, because you can't avoid the cigarette smoke, but everyone smoked cigs back when BTs were popular. Likely added to the heavy buzz. Good weed was very rare in my teens/early twenties.

Have you ever felt like they have you surrounded?
You know, when you think you are seeing them everywhere? You look out your bathroom window and there they are?
You look out your living room window and there they are?
Look out your back door? Check!
Front door? Check.
If you want to leave then you have to pay the toll collector!
And the toll collector's are unionized so you have to pay them all!
And when you get outside, what do you see? Want to walk in your yard? Pay a toll collector!
Want to work on your car? Toll collector!
Relax in your yard? Got to pay to play!
And the man who oversees it all - Big Daddy!
Thinking of moving back to the city where a man has a little room to stretch his elbows without banging into something!

Nice show! Do you hunt? I've got at least 10 that stay on my property because they know it's a safe zone, knowing once they cross to either side, to be on guard. Not that there's anything wrong with hunting IMO. My neighbor has a great tree stand setup on his side and a pile of apples, shoots with a bow. Meanwhile he keeps all other hunters away, nobody messes with him. Everyone is happy

Well, Deach69, if'n ya call reachin' out the window and slitting their throat hunting, yeah, I reckon I hunt. When I fill out the online game harvest report I check bow as there is no option for knife. 
I take 2 smaller doe's each year as that is the tenderest meat. It is also more than enough meat for me for a year.

A couple photos from a trip out west (Alberta, Canada) I currently have well paying job in healthcare but many times I’ve thought about chasing a career more passion based in photography.. I may still do so!
Both taken on a tripod with a timer.
