Those are the ones, wallabies. How could I forget.
Kangaroo Creek Farm in Kelowna.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar…
Imagine a giant cockroach with unlimited strength...
a massive inferiority complex, and a real short temper...
is tear-assing around Manhattan Island in a brand-new Edgar suit.
Sound like fun?
I’ve seen that movie.
They show it about six or seven times every December.
Wisecracks aside, I know that to be so. It's what keeps me from giving up.
But you still don’t get a second chance to take a chance.
You funny guy.
If you’re whacked enough to travel 1600 miles down to my middle of nowhere…
Then I’ll certainly show you ‘round.
Well, actually I warned you up front.
The expand button was clearly labeled as something you ought not be clicking on.
Your fault this time.
I never said that the answer wouldn’t be: “Non-ya’”
Only that I would answer.
Kind'a related to the old adage about never meeting your heroes.
Then there’s the flip side where folks go on about “do what you love and you’ll never work a day”.
Of course, you may never be able to pay a bill either, but that caveat always seems to get over looked.
Well, a good percentage of it was made up of both house smoked bacon and pulled pork...
so the odds were in your favor.
Looks like you both had a really good time horse-riding.
You are referring to the Nike advertising campaign with Bo Jackson.
1. We have an early flight.
So.... what time do we get up?

Fast? Slow? Average?
Fast - it's so early in the morning that queues haven't built up yet.
3. Flight.
On time? Delayed?
On time
4. LA. Harley Davidson attempt #2.
Nothing? Poker chip? Chip & T-shirt?
Poker chip and t-shirt
5. Which way to the beach?
We go to one.
Santa Monica? Venice? Hermosa?
Santa Monica is the obvious choice - I think you went to Venice.
6. Which Marvel character
(that Kay's in love with)
do we see?
Iron man? Thor? Wolverine?
Thor
7. We go for burgers. Where?
In-N-Out? Shake shack? Slater's 50/50?
In-N-Out
8. We see the Hollywood sign.
How long do we spend looking?
about: (pick the closest)
1-5 seconds? 1-5 minutes? 1-5 hours?
1-5 minutes
9. What's for dinner?
Mexican? Burgers? Chinese?
Chinese
10. We told Kay we'd pay for
one souvenir. What does she get?
Clothes? Books? Candy?
Books
I was pleased to see she didn't have
a six shooter strapped to her hip.
(I'm sure she had a knife
in her boot, though,
just in case.)
She was very nice, though.
She called the stables
and asked if they had room
for two riders.
(They did!)
Bo knows horse riding.
(Bonus if you get the reference.
Or not. Just let me know.)
Eventually, she got tired of riding
side saddle... so she just turned
around... and rode backwards!
The horse... knew when to stop...
Or in her words,
"Everything in the desert will...
Stick you, prick you, slice you or bite you."
This tourist decided that
'Teddy Bear' sounded nice.
So she petted a branch.
After about an hour,
we returned to the stables
and shakily, wobbily,
descended from our mounts.
We stopped at a Harley Davidson
so I could grab a poker chip
and possibly a T-shirt.
And....
It was closed.
Hey look!
Towel animals.
Remember those?
(And before you ask,
the pizza was good!
The onion rings, just ok.)
But the real star of the show
is the organ.

Bonus: Did you see it?
PM your guess.
Or was it a snake? To be sure, you should have checked to see if Andy was wrote on the bottom.
Well, why would the actual business waste money to update their flyers when the old place keeps sending people along!
Nope, don't get the reference!
Uh, that's one lady who knows how to ride and one well trained horse!
sounding nice or no... I don't see how this looks like it should be petted?
I bet you were really happy to have your feet back on the ground! HAHA
Repeat visit!
Have they really stopped doing these at Disney?
I was there in 2014 and there was one or two in our room every time we came back. Kids just loved them.
That pizza looks amazing
But the pizza doesn't hold a candle to that organ! That place looks like something we would enjoy.
5 am
fast
on time
both
Venice
Iron Man
Shake shack
1-5 seconds cause it was a drive by
mexican
books
Oh, no! Even more suspect?!After this, the memory will
be fuzzy and the writing
even more suspect than normal.
Yes. Even more so.Oh, no! Even more suspect?!
As scandals go, that one now seems kind’a tame.Thanks Mr. Clinton.
The inspiration for my avatar.
Have seen it.Sure you do.
It's called a mid-life crisis.
I'm loving mine.
Have you seen my Harley?
Worse…You don't know me very well.
Wouldn’t blame you if you skipped it given the time that writing takes up.I haven't written about my summer
road trip as of yet.
(And may not... who knows?)
Well see…But I did drive over 1,000 miles
out of my way for a DIS meet.
Well, that and ice cream.
Will have to see if they keep doing it.There's a good possibility
of a road trip to see
a certain lantern festival
in the not so distant future.
Indeed…Holy crap!
Notes?Also, fair warning.
This update will be the last
where I took notes.
After this, the memory will
be fuzzy
and the writing
even more suspect than normal.
Just like I warned you earlier.You've been warned!
Nice move!
As scandals go, that one now seems kind’a tame.
The inspiration for my avatar.
Don’t know why, but that film just tickles me.
Have seen it.
Nice bike, to be sure.
A mid-life crisis, however, comes with the prerequisite of disposable income.
Still rules me out.
Well, that and the fact that I’m already well past mid-life.
Worse…
you don’t know me very well either.
Wouldn’t blame you if you skipped it given the time that writing takes up.
I’d certainly love to read about that trip.
But I wouldn’t blame you.
Well see…
It was the ice cream that made the difference.
Will have to see if they keep doing it.
And I’d hate for you to be disappointed by the end result.
It’d be best to make sure there are other things down this way you’d be interested in checking out as well.
Indeed…
Here’s how the dish is described in their menu:
Smokehouse Meatloaf .....
our ground beef, brisket, smoked turkey, and bacon,
served with mashed potatoes, smoked tomato gravy and
something green
(Just ignore that last bit there.)
We’re talking about a local brew pub down here called
Legal Remedy Brewing
http://legalremedybrewing.com/
One of my favorite haunts down this way; lots of good stuff on the menu
I know you’re not much on beer, but they also make their own root beer.
Since I don’t care for root beer, I can’t tell you how good or bad it is, but they do make it.
Notes?
You mean this TR has been based on some kind of truth so far?
I was sure that you were making this up as you went.
More epic car chases, shoot outs and explosions!
Just like I warned you earlier.
See just how effective that was, don’t ya’?
I'm soooo behind! So I'll have to withdraw my name from the contest. Have to leave while still somewhere in the middle, instead of rock bottom, right?
Can the Capybara be considered a R.O.U.S?
Either way, it's much cuter than I expected!!
What a fun trip to the petting zoo. I can't believe it was like 10 bucks a person. After paying Disney prices, that is a a good surprise.
Here's a link to the series of Reebok commercials for the Dan v. Dave.
Ah...spare time. What a nice novelty.I doubt I'll have it out by Monday,
but you never know.
It all depends on how much
time I can find.
After signing the inevitable waivers,
we moseyed over to the barn.
(It's a western. You mosey in westerns.
Sashaying is for them city-folk.)
She was very informative
and entertaining.
I was impressed with how
she rode side saddle so she
could talk to us.
Eventually, she got tired of riding
side saddle... so she just turned
around... and rode backwards!
Not like one unfortunate tourist.
(From an earlier ride.)
There's a cactus called a
Teddy Bear cactus.
It looks soft.
But that's because it's covered
in thousands of needles.
This tourist decided that
'Teddy Bear' sounded nice.
So she petted a branch.
It took Tammy over an hour
to get all the needles out.
Apparently, one time,
when things were mostly brown,
one woman (whom Tammy would only
refer to as "from the East Coast")
told her that they should
fire their landscaper.
Unhappily for you,
you have to look at a photo of moi.
But for whatever reason,
didn't get one.
Stupid, I know.
I mean....
Bacon? And pop???
How could I not???
I don't know either
We stopped at a Harley Davidson
so I could grab a poker chip
and possibly a T-shirt.
(And if you don't recognize that...
I feel sorry for you. )
