Had the Sprint out for a bit of throttle therapy today.

I had a 2000 Thunderbird. I love those classic neo-classic Triumph triples.

Urban sketchers find the sublime in the city block Sketchers say making art together in urban environments allows them to create a record of a moment and to notice a little bit more about the city they see every day.

A little brightness for your feed! 🎨🦋 NPR did a piece on #UrbanSketchers and it genuinely lifted my mood.

1949: Mother's Sponge Cake A light moist cake topped with a sweet, broiled frosting by Margaret Sullivan, an award-winning baker whose name should be known

As I research the 1949 Pillsbury Bake-off contestants, I occasionally find a story that breaks my heart. Margaret Sullivan has a tale of loneliness and addiction. The silence that surrounds her life speaks of isolation. But man, she made a REALLY GOOD cake. #baking

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!

I am seriously considering the new 800 Trident to replace my Street Twin. Those Thruxtons are beauties

Yes we have Infrared Bull. Would you like 1310 or 1550 nm?

A handsome blue Triumph Sprint ST motorcycle parked near the mountains in Colorado. (A Triumph Tiger is parked just behind it)

Great (?) Minds think alike! Here's mine. My son's Tiger in the back.

A 3/4 view of a Honda GB 500 motorcycle parked on the side of the road.

Great run today on the GB500. Nice twisties and a few dark dark clouds on the ride home to keep it interesting.

That turtleneck seems (adorably) too tight.

a brown wire-haired pup stands on a wooden deck in a grassy yard. he looks at us with golden eyes and his right ear flipped inside out. he has a pipe-shaped stick in his mouth, giving him the appearance of a sophisticated and dapper gentleman. just give him a deerstalker cap and a cloak, and he'd give Sherlock Holmes a run for his money.

This pup found a stick shaped like an old timey pipe earlier today and has already solved three mysteries. 13/10

A downy woodpecker sits on a spruce on a sunny winter day. "Ahh... Febuary" it says. Close up on it correcting "Febrary" then "Febberary..." then finally "Frebrury"

Great article. Harper's rebuilt my '72 MG Ambassador and were a great source for parts. I had no idea of his racing background.

“This instrument can teach, it can illuminate; yes, and it can even inspire, but it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise it is merely lights and wires in a box.” -- Edward R. Murrow, 1958

1949: Swing-Your-Partner Cake A white cake with white frosting and a whimsical "turkey in the straw" topping, by Mrs. Rodgers E. Slick, an award-winning baker whose name deserves to be known

A life of hard factory work and raising a family at the same time. That's Evelyn Slick's story. But it's also the story of a glamorous trip to NYC to bake her tasty white cake at the very first Pillsbury Bake-Off.
