It's beautiful, it's fast and it lives with me now!
My "baby" the 125 red vino was loaded into a van and driven off to live in Monterey. :::waves:::
Whee... $4600 toward by NEW baby! I made the call for Ben's bike as he was just to anxious too leave the bike at the dealer any longer. That's when Greg told me they knew where my BIKE was. OMG. It is at an Aprilia storage facility. They are going there on their day off (4th of JULY) to pick up my bike! I had to ask the pressing question that's been plaguing me. "Is the seat cream color or black?" The one I saw online was cream and I fell in love with it. I did not want black, but I would have taken it. He said, " it's CREAM!" Happy dance! So we went down and got HIS new bike and paid for mine. I go in on SATURDAY and get my new sweet ride!
I've been looking at new helmets (and jackets) and am shifting toward the scorpion dahila products.
I wonder if the Magnetic Fields had this guy in mind when they wrote their Zombie Boy song...
Today is Day Five of Operation Baby Bunnies. Andrew took today's photos.
I've been reading and learning a bit about cottontail rabbits. Only 15% of them live more than a year (mostly due to all of the predators). A three year old is considered lucky to still be around. They usually have 2-4 litters each spring/summer. Their development is pretty quick (it has to be if their life expectancy isn't that long). A female can have a litter and then mate the next day!
I'm sure that once the babies are old enough to be out exploring that taking photos will be much harder. And I'm not sure we'll want to be around them too much and have them not be fearful of things they should be. But for now it's fun seeing how they grow and develop.
Today was the first day that we picked up any of the babies. They didn't like being out in the light. They're still small. Their fur is soft and they feel fragile.
Do we really need a new piece of useless plastic in our lives? Is there a purpose for this instrument? It sort of resembles a swizzle stick, although the body is really too skinny to create an effective stirring motion, plus my particular coffee drink does not need to be stirred.
The top of the instrument fits perfectly into the oblong oval opening of the plastic coffee lid, which leads me to believe this was created to prevent those weird burp-like explosions of coffee that the lid can emit when the cup is full and in motion, say, when you're walking out of the store with your full drink.
Still, not necessary. I'd really rather do without another mass-produced, specialized piece of plastic people will only use once and not recycle.
To add insult to injury, the top of the instrument depicts a little character drinking hot coffee. I can't tell what or who this character is supposed to be - it has the face of an angry wolverine with the body of a mermaid, and bizarre tentacles coming out of its mouth/nose region (think Dr. Zoidberg from "Futurama".) By the way, the hideous character is also trademarked.
from laughing SO HARD.
Thanks Lorelei.
That baby's voice reminds me of another video that had me rolling (LOTR funny voices).
