    Spidy night Sort of makes these more intense knowing Zendaya and Holland are married now and were a thing during this film and the previous ones Her acting is just wonderful ...ability to be a convincing teen yet was nearing 30. Chameleon and gorgeous. Maybe I should hit the cinema :unsure:

    Season 8 of Alone I just finished. The winner deserved it tho that was an area both dangerous ( griz, cougar , wolves and black bear all showed up - even a fisher which I've never seen in the wild ) yet resource light. Still some lovely shelters and innovative fishing. Online reviews said 6 and...

    Oh I'd ride to PA with the luggage on but I'd pull the panniers for the twists. My Vstroms and the CBF1000 were very different bikes unloaded. Mind you the CBF1000 hardly noticed....torque beast. Bandit would be a hoot. 🍾

    Queensland brought the hammer down on kids. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08-30/queensland-under-16-ebike-ban-drivers-licence-mandatory/107072034 I saw two kids, seated on the floor of a standup scooter, no gear at all - maybe 6 and 8 years old. Older kid could hardly reach the throttle...

    Riding Down Under - Tropical Cairns Australia

    This is an area on our bucket list -- west coast of Australia - Perth and north. Would not be doing this hike but - very impressed with the National Park Rainy day ...dogs went back to bed. Low 20s and off and on showers. Actually nice to see these vLogs on the 55" screen despite the...

    Where to get a puppy?

    Both of ours are VERY responsive to the squirt bottle ...All I have to do is brandish it most times. :sneaky: The young'un does the constant bark when she thinks we need to pay attention to her...quick shot with the bottle shuts her right up. Need an automated version out side my bedroom...

    That Bandit has a lot of years left. Only 32km - just nicely broken in and fully loaded for touring. Take the luggage off and blitz the twists.

    Enjoy these but Murican exceptionalism surfaces...one guy was mouthy then lets his ferro rod burn up .... 🤪 and he tapped out in a couple of days. Some of these experienced contestants have some serious skills and chops - one indigenous guy very skilled. They are out there with moose and...

    And no bags with it ...not a good choice but lot's of fun for short trips. Very short fuel range. Superb brakes and will last forever as the motor is a detuned Fireblade. Off road with the insane torque it has would be...exciting...not in a good way. Vstrom 1000 the better choice if you really...
