Coast Road Trip, Part 5

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

Today’s photo from my road trip to the central Oregon coast shows some fishing boats in the marina at Yaquina Bay in Newport. We’d come down there to see some sea lions (say that three times fast), but they were all hanging out back behind a building. Darn them. The photo at right is of [...]

Twins

Sunday, February 7th, 2010

I spotted these two Honda motorcycles in the Dairy Queen parking lot the other day, and thought they were spiffy. So I took a picture. Because that’s what I do.
For the record, I changed the license plate numbers to protect the privacy of the bike owners.

Ride Of Last Resort

Monday, January 18th, 2010

From the random file comes this photo of a hearse parked outside of Weddle Funeral Home on 3rd Ave. Because it was there. A hearse is an interesting looking vehicle… very distinctive. Practical yet somehow stylish. Still, I’d prefer not to ride in one until much, much later.

Texas Tennessee Georgia Georgia

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

Nothing terribly exciting today, just some U-Haul trailers I spotted hanging out on E. Florence St. The title refers to the various states the trailers came from.

Old Rusted Chevy

Monday, December 28th, 2009

I spotted this old truck next to Dale’s Auto Body on Washington St. a couple of days ago. It looks like it’s seen a lot of time outside.

2009 Santa Cruise Part II

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

(View my Flickr photoset of the event!)
Today is the second part of my photos from the 2009 Santa Cruise classic car show and toy drive held at the Stayton Fire Department on Saturday. Yesterday I posted photos of the toys, so today I’m focusing on the cars.
It was quite cold during the car show, so [...]

CHEV OL T

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

The old Chevy truck was parked right next to where I took yesterday’s photo, so here’s a random photo of a random pickup parked on 4th Ave. a few days back.

Wild Ride

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

I stole these (okay, I have permission) off of guest photographer John Brandt’s Flickr photostream. I love this car, so I couldn’t pass up the opportunity. The photo at right shows more of the car itself. Click on it to see it larger.
I posted a photo of the back end of it back in 2007, [...]

What Happens Now

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

Continuing my fascination with motorcycles, here’s another photo of another motorcycle. I should create a subcategory for them, so I’ve taken a fair amount photos of them.
I spotted this bike outside of Freres Building Supply on 1st Ave.

ITS MYN

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

I spotted this awesome vanity license plate the other day, and it made me giggle. Somebody’s rather proud of their car, I’d say.

No Parking At Any Time

Monday, September 14th, 2009

I think the sign on this motorcycle shop, The Eagles Nest on 1st Ave., may mean only those on four wheels. Two-wheelers seem to get an exception.

Control Panel

Friday, August 28th, 2009

A rather large and intimidating Honda Goldwing parked next to my scooter the other day. I didn’t get a shot of the whole bike (there was no good angle from which to do it). I did, however, find myself fascinated by all the buttons and gauges on the dash (is it called a dash on [...]

Twuck

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

This truck — not sure if it’s a dump truck or some other type — was going down the road a few days ago, so I took a picture. I can’t remember what road it was, not that it matters. It’s a truck, on a road. The end.

Speedy Delivery

Sunday, August 16th, 2009

I spotted this Ugo’s Pizza delivery vehicle the other day, and it made me giggle. I like the flames behind the wheel wells and on the pizza the penguin is holding.

Noisemakers

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

I spotted these motorcycle riders going down Marion St. a few days ago, heading in the direction of Pioneer Park. I’d love to ride one of those things one of these days.
