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?

Way cool! This is my interest in drones, aerial photography.

Have you registered your Eye in the Sky yet?

It is 4 pounds under the limit- I don't have to

Hyu is a gret beeg sneekypants!

Okay, this is the drone I want...

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.

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.

You've not heard of the brand? They make rather decent low to mid price mountain bikes

Good for him! Riding year-round is fun!

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...)

I'd pay the pun vault to see you try to extract that things liver.

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

VW Bug?

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.

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.
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...

Yes, a '74 non-super beetle

Not much theft around here, and the ground is very sandy- kickstands are a dicey proposition

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.
