243/365 (August 31, 2010) – We have had barely any precipitation since June, so this is a welcome visit from the weather gods. Puts a crimp on riding the motorcycles, but the forests will get a bit of a drink for a change. At the end of the day, August 31st was the wettest day in August….on record. From the…

242/365 (August 30, 2010) – Don’t you just love that moment when you open the dryer and pull out freshly laundered towels, still hot? I can’t ever help myself, I always bury myself in them for that moment before they lose the warmth. It’s one of life’s little pleasures.

241/365 (August 29, 2010) – We were heading to the boat today and when we went to make the corner we saw the street ahead was blocked off….and filled to overflowing with fabulous old cars and trucks. Apparently we missed the notice that there was a massive car show on down at Harbourside Park behind the Automall. So we parked…

We rode the motorcycles up to Squamish for a coffee and stopped at Porteau Cove on the way home. Riding that highway was a bit of a mental hurdle. Although commonly known as the “Sea to Sky Highway”, it is also referred to as both the “Killer Highway” and the “Highway of Death”. This road leads to newspaper headlines and…

239/365 (August 27, 2010) – Vitamin-D has a pretty cool biological history. It played a critical role in the maintenance of a calcified skeleton in vertebrates as they left their calcium-rich ocean environment for land over 350 million years ago. Because it can only be synthesized via a photochemical process, early vertebrates that ventured onto land either had to ingest…

238/365 (August 26, 2010) – I did it!! I passed my Class 6 road test today! I had never even entertained the thought of riding a motorcycle anywhere but in the passenger seat.

237/365 (August 25, 2010) – This is one of ours….dangerously close, within blocks, of our home.

236/365 (August 24, 2010) Retired luggage seeks new companion. Must be willing to travel and explore new horizons. Young or old, gender irrelevant, preferably human.
