Tour, 17.5 Mile Bike Ride, Big Damn Moose, Cuc, Peas, Garlic, Kevin Smith Show - Saturday

in Homesteading20 days ago

Yesterday morning I was watching the tour stage and it looked a bit rough with the rain and descents. Surprised no one wiped out hard at the speeds they go. Pogi easily won the stage.

I was on the road for an hour ride semi early. I wanted to get back before @stryeyz and the boys left for VBS.

I was heading north on Cedar and vehicles were stopping to look at this BIG ASS MOOSE. It paid no attention to the cars and trucks but it sure took a notice to me.

Being on the bike I much more closely looked like another animal and it turned and began to walk towards me as I rode by. It was really giving me the stink eye look.

If I would have stopped it likely would have come after me. Big damned bull moose. That rack was quite impressive.

It was giving me a solid stare...

Made it home in right about an hour with a better avg speed.

Rather large cucumber was ready in the greenhouse.

And likely nearing the end of the peas.

I was able to get another variety of #garlic processed and the Carpathian gave me exactly what I planted in numbers and 7.5 pounds in weight, from the 2 I planted.

@stryeyz and I went to the Onion down town for dinner which was quite tasty.

Then we walked around the block and then got in line at the comedy club. It's first come first tabled so we like to be in line a bit early for the 6pm doors.

Our table assignment.

It was a KILLER show and it was ONLY Kevin Smith for 2 hours. He is the exact opposite of Silent Bob in real life and can talk pretty much forever.

Headed home as the last light faded and the wall of smoke was on the north horizon.

Got the trailer hooked up for this morning once home.

MY WING IS SOLD!!!! I got the rest of the money as we were watching the show! YAY! Now if only the RS5 road bike I want would become available I could order it.

I have been to town for grain this morning and emptied the trailer already. Tour is on now, World Cup final is at noon, we want to get some berry picking done, I have more garlic to process, clothes to wash,
cabbage to harvest and likely beans to pick again.

I have heard that moose can be a bit aggressive... nice photos my friend, nice to see from a distance!!👍😀

Bears and mountain lions are dangerous, but they are also perceived as obvious dangers. Moose and bison look comparatively innocent, but are if anything more territorial.

I heard that my friend, a moose can be very dangerous!!!😬😳

I've had moose charge me before so out in the open like that I was for sure going to keep riding. No trees to hide behind in the fields.

I hear you my friend..... I would've done the same thing!👍😇
