Both my garden gnomes were stolen...err kidnapped.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

Always wear a helmet, eye protection, and protective clothing. Never ride under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Got one!!! The little bugger is quick for such an old fellow. Bad Romance (my Honda Shadow) is rather embarassed to be sporting a lawn gnome but she is a good sport. A couple of my riding buddies at work went on a gnome scavenger hunt with me, we ended up finding one in a trailer park, the friendly gentleman who owns the gnome, offered to go inside and bring a couple more of them out in case I needed a pic with multiples, lol! Anyways, what a wonderful lunch break. Blues this was a blast, I want to be just like you when I grow up.

For the next challenge....
OMG it's hot out there!!! Your bike at a children's lemonade stand or a snow cone / shaved ice hut. Good luck and let's get this game rolling!

My parents just retired in May to Kelowna, so I will be riding out to see their new place with my daughter. If I get the bike fixed in the next few days it will be for the August Long Weekend...3rd to 6th...should be a nice ride. My sister has also moved out there, so it can be a bit of a family reunion (other sister is trying to sell her house and move to Revelstoke...1.5hrs away)...then Alberta is ALL MINE...in my family anyway!

But since the knome has been found, I will have to see what the next challenge is...Lemonaide stand...we're having floods, I won't be finding one of those very soon...thunder was loud enough last night that my "adult beverage" glasses were rattling in the cabinet...those better not break or I will have to drink from the bottle! :laughing:

Thanks for the compliment. :D


Hmmm....I haven't seen any lemonade stands around....and I'm quite sure we don't have any snow cone/shaved ice huts around here. Maybe on the weekend there will be some kids out.
