August 2025 - Sold Stryker, Strip the House, Big Garage Sale

In the month I took a stroll down memory lane, Black Berry Bold Classic coming back, Sold Stryker, had a few weekends of Garage Saling and the big battle...started Stripping Paint off my house...bad idea...

A bunch of Calgary August saw lots of rain , but came right at the midway point in time for selling off some stuff.

Look at all those vintage items


Check out the Blackberry Bold Classic from 2015 still rocking in 2025!

so much stuff that 
never gets used

Look at that moon...


Bought my 2017 Vstrom 650 "Stryker" in 2020 never expected to buy something so new, but hey the Pandemic changed us all.  Had some great day with my yellow buddy (rode over 10,000 km), but now with my new adventure on the horizon I truly didn't need two motorbikes in the garage.  Good bye my friend.  Brennan was so pumped for his first bike.

First bike for Brennan

They'll both be ok

Decided to jump in to a little, that became big project of painting the siding on my house...The paint on the sunny side was in bad shape and only 10 years old.  It was done poorly by a pro Michael Wallace, a drummer, I gave a shot to help finance his music career.  It all looked good, but suffered air trapped under the primer.  This was going to take some effort...


How many different tools...
Do I need to buy more?


Dale's suggested tools

Roger's suggested tools

And Stuart's suggested tools.  I used them all!
