Random pictures that you took

I bought this 08 1300 Vstar from a closed down dealership in 2012
It was still in the crate never assembled.

It was my daily driver for 13000 miles
Never had a seconds trouble out of it.

It’s my wall paper and have since lost the original picture.

 

Wish I had one of those chippers down here...

 

I've been seeing this handsome eastern garter snake around the yard lately. I leave him alone, and he just hangs out.

 

severe storm just slid around the north of us.

 

Had one in the garage last year, The wife still believes he's in there! Glad I didn't see it, I am scared of snakes and would have killed it.

 

I have one SIL that is mortified of them! Doesn't even want to hear about seeing a snake!

 

About 5 years ago, I saw a black snake under our porch, I watched it as it probed around for something to eat, it came to the I beam pocket for our basement, it probed up behind a piece of sheet metal which I mistakenly thought sealed off the I beam opening. I watched as the snake slowly disappeared behind the sheet metal, and then it hit me, that snake just went into our basement! My wife was in the kitchen as I tried to nonchalantly hurry downstairs, then back outside... my wife's not dumb, she asked me what was going on... I had to tell her we had a black snake in the basement. She kept it surprisingly under control. I knew where the snake was, I put on gloves and tried to grab it from near the I beam in the basement, that snake was strong. I placed an ammonia soaked rag on top of it, to no avail, then sprayed some really strong air freshener at it. I hurried outside and watched under the porch multiple times, and finally it gave up and came out, and headed toward the woods. I got it, and moved it a couple miles away and released it. And of course, I made sure that opening was sealed but good. That was a moment.
