Elevator Friday - near Bentley, Alberta

Thank you to Dale Redekopp.

That hurt

I put my 2018 Kawasaki 300 Versys up for sale. I bought it late in the motorcycle season in 2023. I did some minor fixes and rode it about five times before I parked it for the winter. I was stupidly busy that time with work and looking after mom. I was excited that I would be doing a lot of riding next season.

Well, 2024 saw me in the hospital for seven months and I have not been able to ride it since. It hurts a bit putting it up for sale as I had grand plans when I bought it. Sometimes you have a change of plans. 

Soon I will be down to two motorcycles.

Possible technical difficulties

Ever since landing in the hospital I became overly reliant on my iPad. I use it for practically everything. I am having some issues and I may need to replace it after ten years. Blogging may take a hit.

Abandoned bug

You used to see these on the roads everywhere. The colour got tweaked to make it stand out more.

Plan C

This is a long weekend here. My initial plan was to meet up with my sister and drive to where mom wanted her ashes scattered. A snowstorm changed those plans. My backup plan was to drive to the forestry road by Sundre, Alberta to look for bears and other wildlife. An out of control wildfire in the area scotched those plans.

Rather than give up and stay at home I went to the Torrington, Alberta Gopher Hole Museum. It is a small building a little bigger than an oversized walk-in closet in a bigger house featuring stuffed gophers posed in dioramas. I had driven by the place over the years and decided this was the day. The whole thing is silly and will get a laugh or two.
