It is not exactly "the bottom 40 acres", but I did harvest my early Spring crop of mixed buffalo grass and clover flowers this morning.



What say you, Lapchik ??

Good enough for me, what's next?

Mrs DowunUnder and I are heading off for a glamping holiday next week, so the next photo tag will be your bike near a fabric tent.

Do hunting blinds count? It will probably still be another 3 months before people are camping here.

There is very little hunting done here in Sydney, except for finding a car parking spot, so I am not altogether sure what a hunting blind looks like.

I found an on-line definition of a tent that says it is a temporary structure, enclosure or shelter constructed of fabric or pliable material supported by poles and/or guy ropes.

So if your hunting blind has a roof and at least 1 wall, both made of fabric, then that will qualify as a "tent"

I have been looking for 3 months. Didn't see any during turkey hunting season, but it's camping season now so should start seeing them soon.

Do fabric ice fishing shelters count? Between the two trucks, there are two fabric shelters.

Other than watching the Grumpy Old Men movie years ago, I know as much about ice fishing shelters as I do about hunting blinds, but if they are made of fabric and they have some kind of roof, then they are close enough to being a tent for me.

So all good, pick the next tag.

I only set mine up when it's really cold (20°f or less), or when it's windy. It's basically a pop up fabric canopy with sides. You can also get them built into a sled, that either unfold and go up like tents, or flip over top of you like a clam shell. I generally prefer to drink beer and not catch fish in the comfort of my apartment, but I also do that on the ice sometimes. For extra suffering. Fancy rich people have lowrider campers with hydraulics or cables to drop them onto the ice, and they cook full meals and watch TV while they fish. It's normal for those nicer units to have sleeping areas too.

The old rig. I no longer have any of this stuff. Other than the daughter. I still have her.

Next tag, get your bike with a clock tower. Not a digital sign outside a bank or a dentist, an actual analog clock with hands. A large analog clock on a building instead of a tower is also ok.

[DownUnder]

Here you go. Originally, this building, which was built in the 1950s, was a clothing manufacturing facility. The 1970/80s, it was a warehouse and today it is a fitness centre and retail shop. In 2 years time it will be converted to a high school.

Cool, what's next?

I was in the garage today since it is the first day above freezing in almost two months. I can tear a bike down to the frame [nearly] and put it back together in a week for the GT, right?

[DownUnder]

Is that a 5 day "business" week or a 7 day "calendar" week ??

Staying with time related devices, and with Summer coming to the northern hemisphere, the next tag will be the face of a sun dial.

If it is not possible to get your motorcycle in the photo with the sun dial, then your helmet & riding gloves next to the sun dial will suffice.
