Flathead Lake Picture taken without permission again

Well it's happened again..  Someone else decided to post my Flathead Lake photo without my permission.

I retain the rights to all of my photos.  Please do not take them and use them without PRIOR PERMISSION.  Grrr... There I put a great big copy right stamp on it...

Original post is here: Flathead Lake Picture

Yard art and the 5 string

Here's a nice piece of yard art.  It's sort of like dutch people like old snow machines or something.. Is the message..  But I like it.  (you can click on the pic to make it bigger)

Well the snow is gone and the snow machines have been put away for the summer.  My redneck neighbors have taken to their quads.  Such is life in Spokanistan. (the pic is from Canada actually)  Soon people will be mowing and I'll be constantly mowing myself.  I've ridden my bike to work this week and also been out on my road bike once.  (bicycle that is)  That feels good.  I fully intend to ride my bike a lot more than I did last summer.  Mostly I suspect it will be riding my bike to and from work.  It really does end up being one of the better parts of my day.  As long as it isn't raining of course.  I'm sorry but I'm not going to ride my bike in the rain.  I'd have to be totally out of options before I will do any more of that, even though my Varsity does have fenders.  Now I do like to ride right after a spring shower, that's really nice, but not during one.

I guess the other new thing, as spring is full of newness, is that I've taken to the 5 string banjo.  It's one of those things that I never really got into, thinking I have other things to play that I haven't gotten good at, but there's something about 5 string I really like.  Maybe because it's so different from guitar and mandolin.  I don't know.   I don't really care where I go with it, I just like to sit down and noodle on it.

Maybe I can put an old snow machine in my front yard to sit on and play the banjo..
