Sidecar Traveller Nbr.43
Did you get your copy of the latest issue of Sidecar Traveller yet? We have another article published. My words and Andy's photos. A picture Andy took of me and Walter in front of the tipi graces the full page of the back cover....
Low Census
The doctors took the day off so they sent me home. It was warm out; it seemed like a good day to change my tires. The front tire was still good, so I left it alone. The rear bike tire was badly worn and the sidecar tire was bald, so I devoted my attention to replacing...
Spring Excursion
Wrayal and I decided to take a trip up Fir Mountain Road and see if the snow had melted. He loaded his dog, Jenny, into his DMC sidecar and met Walter and me at my house. We headed up Sywers Drive, which was impassable just a couple of weeks ago, and then up Fir...

Good Morning

Good Morning
1/21/26 5:30 28F (-2.2C) Freezing fog. A cold breeze blows through the black trees looming from the murk. Walter is marching sentry, barking harsh commands as he goes: "Halt! Who goes there? What is the password?" Satisfied, he returns to his post, waiting...
