Things I see “lookin’ out my back door”.

Neighbor enjoying one last run for the season. Dog seems to say; "Here he comes.” Followed by; "He's gone!"

Inline 6 two stroke noises make for tingly bits.
The tunnel hull races are still fun if you can find them.

Dude, landscape is your friend.

Thats a fucking awesome backyard. I have a huge fruitless mulberry (morus alba) in my backyard that is beginning to defoliate. I hate it and might get it mulched this winter.

A client of mine (maybe 10 years ago) had the big speedboat with the huge wing on the back that was used in the TV show Miami Vice.
Wellcraft Scarab

This must be them, or the next owners since I think he was on Simcoe at that time.

That's a nice yard on the bay. Hours on the ride on mower per season I bet. And it probably never looked greener than it does these days. My yard is the greenest I can remember practically.

Thanks and you are right, it's the greenest it's ever been in the 33 years we've lived here. However, We're not on the Bay. We are on the river just below lock #7.

No ride on mower either. I have 26 trees in the back yard alone I have to cut around. Plus, a 5 foot high hill I call Mount Poop that I have to get up and over. Rideons tend to dig ruts going up or fall over going sideways. I need the exercise as I'm way over weight. So, I have a walk behind. Although with my heart condition it's AWD and I only make 4 to 6 passes before sitting down to rest.

I miss my two-strokes. I raced karts and motorcycles. Nothing like the sound of a three or four cylinder two-stroke GP bike!
Tunnel hulls are fun too. I used to catch the GP races from Europe on satellite TV.

I think "landscape" was referring to the camera orientation...

Yes, I got it. I suffer from VVS, hehe...
I just haven't got around to writing about the "Big Dig" and thought this was a good place to show a couple of shots.

Nice camera work. Fills the whole frame, all wide and spacious. So relaxing.
