Well, while in Oakhurst Yesterday while waiting for Silver's tires to be rotated, I walked about Town, and sighted Bicycle shop by McDs, and, bought a New Bike!...this purchase long thought about...idea is to have Bike to rollaround on on the Foothill Roads, and when on vacation...and I would have done this today, 'cept Silver has the front end wobbles again, the dread 'death wobble'...even worse now after the tire balance and rotation!, which I had had hopes would have fixed it, as new tires did last year, but no...hmmph...now thought is to leave Silver at the dealer's shop, and %^&# the expense!...sigh...anyway, sighted one Hawk in Town...faraway pic...sorta like pic of Hawk, Redtail, flyover and call while sitting awhile under the Ozone Cottonwoods this Evening, which was after New Bike rollabout to the Village, and around the Outside Loop, which is when and where I sighted Merganser Flotilla at Swinging Bridge!...very cool...I have had a bike all along hereabout, a beach crusier, but I can never get the seat to stay up, and it's a bit tiring to peddle...thought is now to bikeabout in early Morning...sunny blueblue hot...Raccoon at Last Chance under the Bus Port...sighted Raccoon following Owl's raspy call from the Woods to somewhere in the Courtyard!...wondering if call is Sentinel's, or New Fledgling...do adult Great Horned Owls make the raspy call?....clip and pics with the new underwater camera...oh...sighted Hawk, I think, too, upriver just after Merganser clip...new camera has 5x optical, and 20x digital...tried to use the 20x to see Hawk, but no luck...oh...camera does date stamps ,and gps record too!...but have shut off the date stamp...bike is 'specialty expedition'...
