A Misty Fall Afternoon
Installing Wrayal’s Sidecar
This article first appeared in Sidecar Traveller Nr.46 October 2019 I recently spent a couple days helping a friend swap his sidecar from a BMW G650 GS to a F800 GS. The 650 was his first sidecar rig; he’d gotten a smoking deal on it and it had served its purpose...
Walter’s Game Cart
I bought an inexpensive game cart from Sportsman's Guide and modified it so my dog can haul it. https://vimeo.com/user371939/download/463445444/a50d0446dd https://vimeo.com/user371939/download/463445444/a50d0446dd...
First Fall Foray
Summer 2020 in Oregon featured plague, drought, and catastrophic forest fires, but it had been raining hard the first few days of fall. Mike and I went up in the woods Friday to see if we could find any mushrooms. Walter Dawg and I arrived before Mike. Once parked, I...

Good Morning
9/2/26 6:00 56f (13.3c) Clear sky, calm, cool air. The light is slow to arrive. The morning star hangs against a lavender backdrop, low in the east. This morning feels like summer ending. It won't feel that way this afternoon, when temperatures climb above 90f...
Good Morning
9/1/25 7:00 58f (14.4c) Light breeze with a thin, broken cloud cover. The hot tub chemicals need adjusting, so I have to wait a few minutes for my soak. ...
