Harvested Garlic yesterday. Let it cure overnight. Wish I could leave it outside forever.

This isn’t the best quality, I zoomed in using my phone to get the moon, Pyramid Peak and a poplar tree. Later I noticed a bird of prey photo-bombed the attempt, to the right of the moon, I think a turkey vulture.

That new trail to the top of Pyramid Peak is a great hike/mountain bike ride. A fork heads east towards Rudy’s Flat, that section has some great views into the canyon. I rode up there yesterday.

That’s nice! I also got a hawk photo bomb (look above the tall bald guy’s head) when taking a picture of volunteers that helped cook and serve a delicious Korean lunch at camp.

I’ve heard good things about that trail, especially the new section to “mahogany ridge” / Rudy’s. I’ve bushwacked that route before hiking… that was a real muthuh.

A post by rls on the Ireland thread got me thinking about Dublin and its rich musical culture and history. The busking, the pubs, clubs, etc. all make for an amazing auditory experience.
But strolling around the city there are also cool visual tributes everywhere to Dublin’s musical heroes. Here are a couple memorable snaps I got in May, representing two modern legends who are no longer with us.

I saw Phil Lynott and Thin Lizzy in the Salt Palace in 1978, they were the lead act for Styx. (I liked Thin Lizzy better than Styx, but was too shy to admit it. Everyone liked Styx.)
Small world, E-Ute!

That is awesome. They were a little before my time and while that typically means nothing for me, somehow I never really got into their music until a couple years ago.
They were a great band, and Lynott in particular was such an amazing talent. I’m jealous you got to see them live!

I’ve spent most of the summer so far, at my old place in Southern Idaho, restoring some old out buildings, so I’ve missed my usual round of Car Shows (I really hated missing ths British Car Show at Liberty Park a few weeks ago).
I did get to the Montpelier (Idaho) Car show last Saturday, and while not quite as interesting as the last few times I attended, found a few notable cars:
My favorite, was this late 57 Nash Metropolitan (I loved the Drive Inn props on the driver’s window).
(Related personal story: my father worked part time for Rancho Rambler, on the NW Corner of 600 South State, and brought my mother home from the LDS Hospital with my brand new little sister in late May of 1960, in a turquoise and white convertible version of this car, that he was driving for work. My little brother and I were so fascinated with this Mickey Mouse car we paid no attention to our mother or new sister for several hours.)
A couple of '73 models which many of you will remember, and may have driven, and which rarely show up at car shows. These are owned by an Australian who has relocated to (of all places) Lava Hot Springs, Idaho. The square back is a right hand drive, Australian Model, that belonged to his mother. (My wife’s mother had a yellow '73 Squareback.)
And finally, a few interesting LoboMan vehicles:

I had a nice bike ride today, including through Echo, Utah, and took a short break to look at one of my very favorite old buildings, the 1876 church/schoolhouse.
I remembered that I had read a piece about the building ages ago in the SL Tribune, in what used to be one of my favorite regular columns, that of Jack Goodman, discussing historical architecture in the SL area, and always including one of his wonderful drawings. I found the column online and have included a link below. (It was great in the old days when you could actually look forward to opening a newspaper.)

I was never a Trib subscriber, but I have his book on a shelf not 5 feet away from me right now.

My Pops used to say The Tribunes slogan should have been " Yesterdays News Tomorrow " since it seemed that they closed shop at sunset
