First Snow...

 The first snows of the winter are here, right about on time according to the weather bureau.

These early snows often melt out, but this one seems to be hanging around. 

Looks like I'll be clearing the snow before I can finish chain sawing the pile of birch logs. Always one more thing to do before the serious cold weather gets here.

Fall Colors...

Just some random photos with the changing of the seasons...

Sunset illuminates the birch trees.

A rare site, all the dogs lounging on their houses.

Airheads...

 One of the summer activities I frequent are the Airheads meetings. They are a group of motor heads, bikers, or whatever you call them that prefer to ride older bikes. While most have BMWs, the airhead name comes from riding older, air cooled cycles, as the newer ones are water/oil cooled and much more complex to keep running. They're not exclusive tho, and welcome disparate riders like me on the Moto Guzzi. So here's some pics...

The August meeting was at the Golden Eagle Saloon in Ester. Steve proudly showing his shiny BMW, other riders in the background.
Lee on his newly restored Beemer. Not sure of the model but it dates from the fifties. Note dog in sidecar. He's a regular at all the meetings.
The September meeting at Ollies place, or maybe Oles, can't keep those two straight.
Lots of dogs at Ollies (or Oles). Not sure what he does with them, but maybe he breeds them for sale? Some are pure bred malamutes, others supposedly from an old breed of Alaskan Inuit dog. The dog in the sidecar looked confused by it all. So it goes.
