My place from the air-
Here is about half my property as viewed from my amazing six-rotored drone- there is (from l to r) the blacksmithy, the main gunshop, the 'Goat Barn' and the main house- yea, that's me standing there- can't ya tell?

And not only do you have a bicycle (can't quite tell if it's a rear suspension mountain bike, or a hard-tailed one), but you even have a bike rack to rest it upon. Nice.

Re: My place from the air-
The building in the back is chock full of bicycles- most of them are motorized beach cruisers (Monospeed coaster brakes), THAT machine is a 29" Mongoose soft tail with 21 gears- my oldest boy rides it year-round. The rack is built of PVC piping and painted with FUSION to protect it from sunlight.lake_wrangler wrote:And not only do you have a bicycle (can't quite tell if it's a rear suspension mountain bike, or a hard-tailed one), but you even have a bike rack to rest it upon.

So only to help stand it, not really protect from theft? (I'm guessing that if anyone knew, they could make quick work of it...)Sgt. Howard wrote:The rack is built of PVC piping and painted with FUSION to protect it from sunlight.

I think our Francophonic Friend was green with envy that it was a Mongoose.

Re: My place from the air-
The tricky part comes earlier. Those who make their living force-feeding cobras, tend to charge a very high price for their services. Hence, the high cost of cobra pate, and the reason you won't usually find it on the special-bargain-meals section of the menu at Denny's.DinkyInky wrote:I'd pay the pun vault to see you try to extract that things liver.Dave wrote:Pate de cobra gras.Jabberwonky wrote:Mongoose jelly?

If I had only known when I was in Afghanistan. I could have captured some of the free range cobras and made a few somalians on the side.Dave wrote:The tricky part comes earlier.

When I first arrived at FOB Salerno part of the briefing was a warning about walking around the 1st LA because of a cobra they hadn't been able to capture that was out mainly at night...
I was the only one at that seemed to be bothered by this. I asked "Why haven't you tilted the base on it's side and shook it until the cobra fell out?"
A brief shrug of the shoulders and "We just haven't gotten it yet." was the only answer I got...

Re: My place from the air-
I've found kickstands to be a dicey proposition on pavement. I usually just lean my bike against a pole and chain the two together.
