I grew up in a rural community. Tractors are important equipment. I can see that in certain places.
You can tell I grew up in the country because I actually have a favorite tractor.

I have always been firmly in the camp of being accepting and respectful of everyone regarding who they are. Race, ethnicity, country of origin, disability ...
But if you're a guy who chooses to wear Daisy Dukes and cowboy boots, you have made a conscious decision and that choice gives me permission to laugh. Face tattoos? I can laugh at you. Walking around Walmart in a unitard? I will laugh. Men's belted sweaters? I may or may not have one, but I will still laugh at you (while secretly understanding their practicality and comfort). And these people. It's been a while back I saw this, but something reminded me of it this weekend.

In other News,
Brand New Motorcycles being advertised as "Stock" in Dealerships on Ebay. Ring them up and you can't have it until it arrives in 3 months time. Very weird. |

Not exactly weird, but not all that common in our back yard during daylight hours. A 167 pound bear was hit and killed by a car a couple of days ago, on a nearby street. I wonder what this guy weighs.

Yeah, they weren't great sellers as they are just a retirement home version of the VFR but I was looking for a winter hack that I wasn't going to be too precious about.
The owner of the dealership was sniffing around the red BMW for himself as his wife hates the pillion seat on his GS.

A possum (or rodent?) tapping their helmet 🚓.
Sadly on the return lap they were wet, guessing they'll take it off to dry it. |

Weird times.
The Red BMW gets sold for its asking price. The Crossdresser is going to have some remedial paint work before I collect it. The Blue BMW will return from its 9 month stay at the workshop next week. |
