I'm realizing how lucky I am to live in a rural place where social-distance is easily achieved. I did run into a guy in the woods today but we chatted from a distance. He works on a cell block with a lot of old-timers. They're screening all the employees but if it gets in...

Anyway, rode with Benny and dropped a cherry today.

Cherry?

Cherry?


Like a cherry tree?

um.... that bark is nothing like the cherry tree bark I'm acquainted with.

????????

Does Benny ever get to ride along like the Big City dogs?

On a road bike I maybe could wear Benny out, usually not while mountain biking.

That's a beautiful log.:thumb:

HABITAT TYPES AND PLANT COMMUNITIES :
Black cherry occurs as scattered individuals in numerous forest types of
the East (see SAF cover types listed). It is codominant in only one
cover type, the black cherry-maple type (SAF 28) found in the Allegheny
Plateau and Allegheny Mountain sections of New York, Pennsylvania,
Maryland, and West Virginia [18]. In this type, black cherry is a
primary component along with red maple (Acer rubrum), sugar maple (A.
saccharum), and white ash (Fraxinus americana). Other common associates
include American beech (Fagus grandifolia), eastern hemlock (Tsuga
canadensis), sweet birch (Betula lenta), yellow birch (B.
alleghaniensis), yellow-poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), cucumbertree
(Magnolia acuminata), oak (Quercus spp.), and hickory (Carya spp.)

OMG look at that Cherry! That log is amazing.

I'm still not sure this isn't a euphemism for something rude.... :eek:

.....way back when I was employed in a grocery store and I was responsible for printing the promo materials, there was a "cherry fest" promotion and I doctored one of the posters to say "Lost your cherry? Don't worry, we have plenty!" and put it in some department mailboxes. Poor darlings actually thought home office had sent it down and started blustering things like "Do they know what this actually means?....." :lol:

Ha!

Got out of Dodge, if just for a few hours. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ac9988e1ee.jpg

We Hit the trail at 7:48am. Not anyone else on the trail on the way up. Maybe two dozen when we came back down at 9:30. Most kept their distance, but some were clueless. I was prepared though. That’s the Mrs. and daughter behind me in the picture.

If you are isolating with children you have time to teach them a song.

Yesterday I replaced the A/C belt and tensioner (sp) on my truck.
