RE: CB1100 Monthly Photo Challenge - Inhouse Bob - 08-02-2020
Thank you all for your kind words. Mr. Houtman, I wish we could get down there. Our house there was rented out in a couple of days so we are stuck on the outside once again.
My chest is feeling a bit better, though I won't be doing pushups or shoveling anything for a while. Or sneezing, I hope. But it was good enough to go for a short ride.
So, on with the show!
This month's challenge is to get a shot of the CB in front of an institute of higher learning. Define that how you please. Here is mine...

George Mason University is in Fairfax, VA, 20 miles outside of Washington, DC. It was a sleepy college until their basketball team inexplicably made the final four in 2006. That small thing got the fires burning and the money flowing so that the school is becoming a major player in several fields, notably cyber security.
So, what do you have nearby?
RE: CB1100 Monthly Photo Challenge - Gone in 60 - 08-02-2020
Speaking of pulling muscles, I seem to have lifted a box of equipment incorrectly. Currently, my, um, “boys” are quite sore. I may be driving something without a saddle for a few days.
Which is just as well, because the institute of higher learning that was a few buildings away in our office complex, an art college, sadly closed recently due to the pandemic and related shutdown. It had been there for at least the 20 years that we have been near it.
Currently, the school is being gutted by a large construction crew and converted to general use offices. If we had done the subject of porta-johns that had been bandied about, it would have been very convenient.
RE: CB1100 Monthly Photo Challenge - the Ferret - 08-03-2020
The University of Cincinnati.. founded in 1819. 44,000 students enrolled annually. Currently annual cost is about $28,000. It was $3400 when I went. A lot of money back then. I attended in 1969 but eventually dropped out. My wife got her teaching degree there in 1973, the year before we were married. My son attended and was one credit shy of getting his degree when he was hired by a big insurance co. to do IT for them (makes me mad they didn't wait until he graduated or that he never finished on his own, but he has had a good career with the company) and my eldest grandaughter attended last year before switching majors and colleges.
This is the local branch called UC Clermont (For Clermont County)

Funny that no one was around due to Covid and right now everything is being taught online.
RE: CB1100 Monthly Photo Challenge - Gone in 60 - 08-03-2020
Change of plans this morning. My wife's phone started blowing up at 6:30. Her elderly aunt fell, and the family asked my wife if she could come render medical assistance. So, I had to "sack up" so to speak, and leave her the car.
And pulling up to the office just now, I realized that the office next door to ours is an establishment of higher learning! After all, what better education is there than in the Sport of Kings.
Behold the fencing school next door.
Like our shop, there is an office space in front, and warehouse space in back. As they were moving in, they set up some large table saws in the back alley. They covered the warehouse floor with a grid of 2x4s, and were cutting sheets of plywood to go over the grid. I found this quite curious, and asked what they were doing. The exchange that followed sort of set up the tenor of the relationship that we have had with this establishment over the years... :
"Welcome to the neighborhood. I see that you are doing a lot of woodwork. What are you making?"
"A spring floor."
"Spring floor? Interesting. What business are you in?"
"We are a fencing school."
"Wow, that's cool. I suppose that if I were learning how to build a fence and fell off of the ladder, I would want to land on a spring floor."
Turning off saw and staring at me very blankly... "No. The kind with swords."

LOL GoneIn60!
Great topic, InHouseBob. Alas, didn't ride today so no chance to beat The Ferret or GoneIn60 to the punch. I'll post mine later or tomorrow. Hope you're feeling better.
RE: CB1100 Monthly Photo Challenge - Gone in 60 - 08-03-2020
I didn't mean to beat anyone to the punch. Just pulled up to my office, and thought "Hey.. the neighbors are a school!"

The lack of crowds was one reason I figured this would be a good photo challenge. Less challenge :-)

No worries... I had intended my post to be a little wittier, but I hiccuped and lost all feeling in my fingers

RE: CB1100 Monthly Photo Challenge - Gone in 60 - 08-03-2020
Took a spin around my neighborhood on the way home from work. I had no idea that my part of town was such a bastion of higher education.
That second one is a short walk from my house... might be time to go for an advanced degree in mixology.
