Pets of Mudspike

I know right! :roll_eyes: …kind of makes you wish the Neanderthals had won…but I guess they would not have named themselves “Neanderthals”…regardless,I repeat :roll_eyes: .

Discobot sets the rules and we all know how he feels about us humans, don’t we?

You would want us all to just vanish from the face of the earth, wouldn’t you?

The aussie in one of my favourite films (the 1995 remake of Sahara,) was from gundagai.

:slight_smile:

Gundagai (Gundy for short) is a Brumby who was trapped in Kosciuszko National Park as a yearling/two year old.

The sale yard was in Gundagai and that was what his first owner named him.

Just a little bit of Lightroom on these photos of Rex:

Compare them to mine - since I started fitting the phone to the bike handlebars the photos have become really tosh (I heard it messes up the camera stabilising gyros).

My new phone wallpaper:

I have bought a new phone with 3 lenses and more camera options than I will ever understand, let alone actually use, but I’m loathe to say goodbye to my S9 :frowning:

Ya most cameras can get killed by bike vibrations, even if you go with QuadLock and their vibration damper. It does depend on the engine type though.

Singles and Twins will almost definitely kill a camera. Perhaps a Ducati V2 may be smooth enough but I am not sure. BMW’s boxers are also likely an exception to this rule.

Triples are likely on the border, probably good if they are a known smoother one and you have the quadlock damper.

Inline 4s are usually safe, I don’t see many using the damper and don’t hear many complaints.

If you are a 6 cylinder - Goldwing and K1600 are fine.

I don’t know - that guideline is based on a motorized-cycle not a cyclized-motor…. :rofl:

It could all change in the “engine with wheels” category.

I’m amazed at how I learned that lesson, at the tender age of 7 years old. T’was in Limassol, and there was a German Shepherd just laying in the middle of the footpath in town, fast asleep. After I woke it, holding out my hand in greeting, it snapped at my fingers and promptly went back to it’s resting position with no further fuss.

No blood, no pain - but shock! Lesson learned - and incredible at just how that dog behaved in teaching me that lesson, seemingly having assessed the situation and required response perfectly. It wasn’t just the one lesson learned, for me.

I have always understood animals better than I do humans, so have never had any such problems or lessons :wink: Sure, I’ve gotten a few scratches and wounds over the years, but have yet to have an actual negative experience or reaction with any animal. I just keep get people telling me how their pet usually dislikes strangers, men, this and that and them being surprised.

But back on “topic”; I’ve “taught” my dog well. I can do anything without a bad reaction, beside not wanting to let go of tasty things or trying to hide when I bring out the ear cleaner :sweat_smile:
Makes things easy whenever she gets e.g. dirt in/near her eyes and such.

Sounds like my Dad.

Animals and kids just love him on sight and naturally gravitate towards him.

What kind of dog is Prince? He looks like my Border Collie/Treeing Walker Coonhound mix.
