I thought that this would be appropriate, since Monday is ANZAC Day here in Australia (to honour those who have served in the country's military).
The Avenue of Honour, just outside Marysville, Victoria. Lest We Forget.

Wow, Pretty good driving, especially having to drive from the wrong side of the car.

My mom planted an Elm tree in our back yard when I was a kid... My brother (AZ-Twin) and I cut it down after she and dad passed away, because it was too big to be that close to the house, and it was damaging the roof. A friend of mine lets me use his sawmill so I cut it into lumber...then I dried it for a year in my greenhouse/garden shed. The wood had spalted and was full of color. Here are some shots of a coffee table I made for my wife. finish is a coat of boiled linseed oil, then two coats of sprayed shellac, sanded, then two sprayed coats of water based Minwax Polycrylic.

So I didn't camp under the goal post at TOR this year with Rick and Ralf....
Wife and I took the jeep this year, found a nice quiet spot along Kebler Pass.

When the Superbike World Championship came to Laguna Seca a few weeks ago, they let everyone walk the track in honor of Nicky Hayden. The fellow with the flags had painted Nicky's number on the stars and stripes.
