There's a little Dairy Bar down along the river in Chilo, Ohio about 25 miles from home, technically called the Chilo Dairy Bar. We eat there quite a lot in the summer when out riding. They smoke their own pork and make a great pulled pork BBQ sandwich. Their mascot is a pink ceramic pig and we just refer to the place as "the Pink Pig"
I thought it would make a great pic. Anyhow I'm laying on the ground in their parking lot trying to get this pic when I hear a car pull in behind me and a lady's voice says "Are you alright?". I roll over and say yep, then struggle to get to my feet. Nice red headed lady say's "well, I saw you laying there and just had to stop to see if you were OK". I told her how much I appreciated her concern, but that I was fine and that I was trying to get a pic of the pig thru my spokes for a mc forum contest.
She smiled and said something like Oh, that's a good idea. I thanked her again, and she backed up and took off east down 52. I fired up and headed west.
Sometimes people surprise you with their niceness. What a great day.

I do like the artsy. I rode yesterday, but didn't see the challenge until this morning. I'll see what I can do, but it looks like it might be a picture of a snow bank taken through the wheel if the weather forecast holds true.The ferret_imp said:

Oh boy, lots of snow here. If I parked any of my CB in a snowbank, no one would be able to see it...well, except the mirrors.

Funny that you should mention Covid and boat ramps...
During the Recent Unpleasantness, Mrs. G and I were looking for outdoor activities that would keep us occupied. One of the urban hikes we came up with took us past the boat launching ramp in the Newport Back Bay. There was a rather remote bathroom that was a good pit stop, and we started becoming fascinated watching people launch and recover boats. It was a great social experiment. On one hand, we saw people who had just spent their government fun money on a boat, and watched first attempts at launching. Other people with a decidedly Covid-be-damned attitude, launching party boats overloaded with people and booze. Most simply with a "I just want to go fishing and forget the world" look. All the while, observing the etiquette of launching, on ramps that were getting much more use than they usually did with so many people with free time on their hands.
We still like to watch from time-to-time.

Kind of artsy I guess. Not sure which one I like better so you get the top 3 of the 10 or so snaps I took.

Running like a top
It’s been a while since I wanted to take a photo of this antique which is on display in one of the green spaces of my city... But through the wheels of my CB, it doesn’t look very good!
I like this old horse-drawn hay rake, it looks a lot like the one used by my grandparents. I even remember seeing my grandmother use it, I must have been 6 or 7, it was in the early 1960s.

My entry is from one of my usual runs, up in the Wicklow Mountains. A derelict shepherds cottage. Taken today on my lunch break (slightly extended 
). Ten minutes after this I got caught in a 5 minute torrential downpour and my legs were drenched, I had ditched textiles for jeans and paid the price. So much for the weather forecast!

Nice Tev.
The weather looks okay in those snap. Sounds like some sullen bad luck.
