- Some text incoming here, I warn you.Here's Asher. He's a little under 2 years old but we don't know for sure what age. His original owners apparently moved house and LEFT HIM BEHIND, literally abandoning him. He was probably just over a year old at that point.Thankfully the neighbours tried to take care of him but he ended up living outside as they couldn't take him in. They fed him and took care of him until they could get him a slot at a shelter. He landed at the second shelter a little later as the original shelter was not a no-kill shelter and he was on borrowed time. That's when I got the lead on him and it's taken a few weeks to get everything sorted out. Last night Asher came home. I caught this picture of him after just about an hour of being home. I think he's comfortable.He's a huge love-bug. He wants nothing more than to be petted and loved. Not surprising with what he's been through. I've got some training to do… he's housetrained and knows some basic commands but he's also still a puppy… "stay" seems to be problematic LOL.He and Nanuq are getting along just fine. I think we'll have a few scuffles over rawhides as Nanuq's used to having them all to himself and Asher likes them too. But nothing we can't handle.Welcome home, Asher. We're so happy to have you.#siberianhusky #huskiesofinstagram - February 1, 2026
It’s been a romantic image of movies for a hundred years. The hero, fresh from rescuing the damsel in distress / princess / willing sex slave mounts his horse and rides off into the sunset as the end theme plays. Now, until you’ve actually been a “rider”, then you’ll fail to realize that riding into the setting sun blows like almost nothing else on Earth. In a car you can use the sun-shades, block the sun with the bodywork etc. On a bike you can do nothing but maybe drop your eye level a little and hope the brow of your helmet blocks the sun from blinding you.
Obviously from my rant you can tell I just did this… damn that sucks. Important note for the future; wear shades! I have a pair… unfortunately they were in the garage at home, and I was on my way home at the time. C’est la vie I guess.
Nothing much to report at this time. As you can tell my blog has taken a back seat to life again, which is no bad thing. My life of late has been mostly riding every opportunity I get, learning the limits of myself and the bike and practicing all the stuff I learned at the MSF course. You know, it’s going to take me a long time to get all of this “down”, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. It’s as close to flying as I get most days… I can only imagine the kind of mood I’ll be in when I ride to the airport, fly a plane for an hour or two and get to ride home again 🙂
I’m also learning that despite having a Corbin custom seat that was delivered with the bike (purchased by a prior owner), I’ve come to like the stock seat a lot more. Why? Well, the Corbin is nice, looks sharp… but it does give a harder ride. Fine for short distances, but doing any kind of serious riding can give you a serious pain in the arse.
Well, hopefully I’ll get some more time in the next few weeks to write again. I must admit it, I bought the bike primarily as a commuting tool, and a way to maybe reduce some of my monthly expenditure. I honestly never thought I’d enjoy riding as much as I do. It’s really much more fun than I ever thought it would be. As a result I’m riding every opportunity I get. Even riding in the rain once did nothing to dampen (literally) my enthusiasm. My jeans on the other hand were a completely different story. Add to that the windchill in my crotch…
I’ll leave the rest to your twisted imaginations.
