Glad to see that you are taking steps to ensure less losing or leaving stuff behind. Dodie has always been a list maker/double checker and she packs for planned next day excursions the night before. Steve tends to wander around with his head in the clouds but is the only one who can repair bikes or deal with technology. As always, we are better together.

Wow, Scott ! What a great memory! But, I think it was “putty putty” ( as in cement) However, I like YOUR rendition better -it certainly “fits” the photo theme! Ok..back to bikes and birds.👏

Phew! Glad to have the clarification ..now..don’t forget to look at it 😬. ( we ALL do this!)

Oh, how funny. Even the facial expression looks like his. And didn’t he sing ‘Cement mixer, ducky, ducky’?

It’s not a single checkoff list, because the requirements are contectual: his/hers, bike/hike, time of day,etc. It’s more like a set of reminders for your consideration.

Looks like Liberace’s pompadour; very pretty duck, though!

Maybe it’s a weight ( sinker) for the fishing pole 🫣

Now..where is the check mark on the list🫣?
Oh..this was a pre-list, right?

We bring a small power bank on tour, a holdover from my camping tours and from when my old Garmin used to run out of juice mid-ride, for no discernible reason, but which went away following an update. I still carry it in case something dies on the road (phone, Garmin) and it’s also useful for charging my Di2 without the need to find a convenient outlet.

For my Garmin, I’d just plug it in and run the cable to the power bank stashed in my handlebar bag.

Snack 4 Rachael!!

This would be on my list, too. 😁

This gathering was a fantastic way to start 2025!

The happiness of being able to see friends leaves a lasting glow, ¿No?

Torch a few rock pigeons for dinner, probably.

Oooh. Nice shot.

What's with the propane tank?

You’re very creative!
