All prior methods of keeping the masked bandits away from the bird seed failed eventually. They’re simply too persistent and too dexterous, allowing them to defeat physical deterrents. I’m now trying something a bit different. I mixed up a batch of cayenne pepper in Crisco and smeared it on the para-chord. The theory is that when they go to pull…
Took a ride over to the show and did a bit of photography. The gallery has a few of the more interesting shots. There are some really nice shots of amazing air bush work by Jeremy Carey with JustDipIt.net. Select photos – media.bitrox.io Photos from the 2017 Timonium Motorcycle Show

I’m not normally a hot chocolate drinker, but this came recommended and it was every bit as good as you might imagine. The difference between this and your normal add hot water to Nestle coco mix is stark!
Because at least 1/2 the US population is in need of a distraction from politics today… here are some older photos of my boys.
Flying Dog’s new release, “Dragon Lady,” is excellent, but my favorite remains The Truth. This new “flavor” was brewed and released to benefit the National Museum of Civil War Medicine. If you’re in the Frederick, MD area in need of something to do besides eat/drink/shop, the museum is well worth a visit.
