About my adventures with computers, digital photography, motorcycling, plus family and friends. Thursday, April 23, 2015. A Bunch of Topics. Dar sent me a message today asking if all was well, given my lack of postings.Yes, all is well. I'm afraid I have been a bit lazy. We spent January on the Big Island of Hawaii. It was great. It was our second visit and we took it very easy. February was cold everywhere, but unusually so here near Toronto. But, we survived. New style LED pot lights can have their alu...

About my adventures with computers, digital photography, motorcycling, plus family and friends. Thursday, July 23, 2015. Dar did not have to kick me again to update my blog. Something must be wrong. Back in June, Dianne and I went to see the play, Titanic. We took the GO Transit bus. Round trip for seniors is $16.50 or so. The ride is great, and this time we sat up front. So, the 401 traffic 40 minutes out from downtown Toronto looks like this:. We went to a restaurant. Then, we went to the theatre.

BMW Triumphant's Blog: 2015 East Trip - Day 10
http://triumphantsblog.blogspot.com/2015/08/2015-east-trip-day-10.html
About my adventures with computers, digital photography, motorcycling, plus family and friends. Friday, August 14, 2015. 2015 East Trip - Day 10. First, I am fine. The bike never fell over, but that could have happened. I saw a curious object on the road ahead. Brown was my first impression. Cubic, about 3 to 4 inches on a side. Sharp edges. A brick? Yes, this was from my engine. There was a thin line of oil on the road, not visible from the seat if I looked back. This gout of oil was from when I stopped.

About my adventures with computers, digital photography, motorcycling, plus family and friends. Friday, August 28, 2015. Will pick up at noon next Tuesday. I will post pics of the actual bike at that time. Bike has a high seat, but this will be replaced with a low seat soon. High seat still much better than my 2011, due to the lower centre of gravity. Still, a low seat gets both feet flat on the ground. Pretty happy, moi! Links to this post. Sunday, August 23, 2015. 2015 East - Followup. Yes, the bike is...

About my adventures with computers, digital photography, motorcycling, plus family and friends. Saturday, August 8, 2015. 2015 East - Day 4. It rained overnight, but was not raining when I started out this morning. It did rain just before noon, a bit, and cooled off too. Just before I was to take the bridge over the Saulmon river to New Brunswick, I noticed there was a nearby town. Got gas and lunch, then off to Miramichi. Tomorrow, I will point the bike toward the Cabot Trail. I have no idea as to w...

About my adventures with computers, digital photography, motorcycling, plus family and friends. Tuesday, August 11, 2015. 2015 Trip East - Day 7. Part 1 - 0830. The sun is shining, I packed and set off. Immediately, there was a warning that the rear tire was low. Gauge said 22 psi. The bike had not moved since I checked into the hotel in the afternoon two days ago. There clearly is a leak. I called them but they open at 0900. I want to call them first of course. Part 2 - 1530. Nice people work at this de...

About my adventures with computers, digital photography, motorcycling, plus family and friends. Thursday, October 16, 2014. It has been quite a while since my last blog entry. I returned from my trip at the end of July, and have been very busy with things other than writing and blogging. One of the most significant things was learning that my friend Bob had passed away. In the evening, after dinner, Bob and I talked about a number of items, including how much electronics to take on a trip. He told me...

About my adventures with computers, digital photography, motorcycling, plus family and friends. Wednesday, August 12, 2015. 2015 Trip East - Day 8 (Edited Final Post w/ Pics). Today was a day of positioning and seeing the Alexander Graham Bell museum in Baddeck. It was raining lightly on departure but stopped and resumed from time to time. I saw where the Trailsman Motel was located as I made my way to the museum. About 10 km out of Baddeck proper, and not a bad place as it turns out. I ate an early dinn...
