Bryon is going to be angry!!! I needed a sacrificial element to clean my gas tank for my electrolysis experiment. A square taper BMX bottom bracket was the closest thing nearby/

The poor trout have to deal with the ravages of hydro dams and harsh glacial runoff. Barrier Lake is a hydro invention, very pretty but also pretty barren.

Took me a few years to figure out that just walking over to the Bow River in downtown Calgary was the much better fly rod flexing proposition.

Looks like a very nice hike, I'm jealous in my downtown Vancouver lock-down...

That's either Buda or Pest, don't be obscure, which is it?

I'm betting on Buda (west side of the Danube) and the shot is taken from Pest (say "pesht") on the east side of the Danube.

Purry, you'd lose the bet. That is the Hungarian Parliament Building in Budapest in the Buda (east) side of the Danube (DAN-ube to the locals). Here's a pic of the Hungarian Statue of Liberty, which is the communist version of our Statue of Liberty. It's in Pest, on the west side. We were on a wine cruise on the river. Great place to visit.

As long as it wasn't a Red-Line Flite spindle we are fine.





Sometimes it is the little things that piss you off. We have a very nice park that i regularly ride there, i have routine, start with the warm up ride the the observation tower, go up take pictures back down and ride to the bike trails. The area where the tower is is open to both cyclists and hikers. Well, today as I go down the oold brick road, I notice a few of the benches overturned, stuff on the trails, trash and other crap from the weekend. We have a very cook park, why do some insist on trashing everything.

Now back to riding and pictures.

Thanks for the clarification, I haven't been there for a few years but, absolutely it is a beautiful city to visit. Driving into the centre is an adventure.

We visit friends in Bratislava, just up the Danube from Budapest, every few years.

Must have been an interesting wine cruise, there are so many different, excellent wines from that part of the world that are not distributed to North America or even western Europe.

There it is. That damn 10mm deep socket that I dropped. It rolled under my metal shelves. I'm going to add a 1x4 base so this can't happen again.

Thank you.

That is Katse Dam in Lesotho Highlands at 06:00 in the morning, circa 2011. Snapped with a Samsung cellphone. I waited for the right moment and positioned myself to capture the sun's reflection from behind the rock and the rays from above.
