Wet, Dry & Warm, Dark & Cold

I don't what is happening, perhaps it was the full moon, perhaps everyone is moody or it is that time of the month. Perhaps it started with Jack Riepe (Twisted Roads) (<-- link) making a few snide comments to Mr Conchscooter (Key West Diary) (<-- link) about his lack of motorcycle blog content and using his beloved kennel to transport Cheyenne. Jack even picked on me, I hope it was in fun, I mean . . . I thought we were buddies



Anyway Mr Conchscooter fought back with a vengeance



I think Mr Conch was writing to Mr Jack but then he included Moi, CPA Jim (Premeditated Scootin') (<-- link) in Kansas and even poor Orin (Scootin Old Skoot) (<-- link) in Portland . I mean, there is no way he can win against 4 other keyboards aimed towards Key West so I can only attribute his bad behaviour on OLD age and his set ways, which accompanied him from the old country.



So Mr Conch, see what you did. You lashed back at me and I have such a weak fortitude that I inadvertently lashed back at Irondad (Musings of a baby photographer)
(<-- link)



So inter-related is our community is that emotions get transmitted throughout the Blogosphere, even when not meant. After all, Irondad is my hero and I strive to copy his every movement. I should because he is a motorcycle instructor extrordinaire the best in the country and if you follow his advice you should be able to have many years of 2 wheeled enjoyment and ride in safety, through proven scanning, cornering and braking techniques (to name a few), that is . . . when he is not posting baby photos or photos taking in grocery stores.

Here is a recent photo posted by Irondad during December (I hope you don't mind me "borrowing" this image)

I strive to copy your every movement but not make it blatenly obvious so ended up with this



I chose the left view as in your original we cannot view the title of what you are reading, but we gather that it doesn't have a vertical photo in the centre-fold



I must say that it is relaxing to sit, read and watch the traffic go by



A few days ago I received a comment from Cpa3584/Jimbo asking where I stored the Pink Crocs, in my left hard case of course, along with my reading material which was sent to me at great expense by a curmudgeon who walks about Key West in the dark being led by a dog who travel together in a Kennel-mobile, exploring every alley, lane and trail while a certain Triumph bonneville remains parked under a stilt house. You will be able to recognize it by quickly glancing at the instrument cluster as it will be without a tachometer.



Not all comments are delivered in scorn. I actually get some praise once in a while. This is one from Gary France (Mr H-D from the UK) (<-- link)



Gary, that mount you received with the "diamond" RAM mount can be used with the RAM GPS cradles. I have one for my automotive Garmin

And to Chris (Everydayriding.org)
(<-- link), I have some rain in the video below



I am getting some rattling noise from the waterproof case, but it is not the camera that is rattling. I think it is the spring loaded shutter button, or on off switch button. Also I have not yet applied Rain-X to the lens protector so the water droplets are not "blowing" away in the wind.

It started out raining in the morning, then it cleared. In the afternoon it was a warm 10c. Later in the afternoon it clouded over and started to rain again. The ride home was after sunset so you can see how the GoProHD handles the lack of light, and how it handles the flare from the passing cars.
