Cool view...

This is a pica I took on Januari 10th this year... Guess what... looks the same at the moment... "...Walking in a winter wonder land..."

Cool thoughts...

In this winter weather we all need warm and happy thoughts... "... just riding a beautiful bike somewhere in the warm summer wind..."

Cool cold freezing pica...

One image says more than a thousant words... Like the Therapy? song: "...Going nowhere...!" Even public transport is a big problem... Don't mind the cold, but the bloody snoow... so damn slippery...

Cool Snoowy Sunday Special...

This is this weeks winner of the Sunday Special...
When we left our beds this morning, it started snoowing some more and till now an additional layer of 8 inches of snoow ended on Dutch ground...
We'll start washing up soon and run out to do some more sleigh riding...!!! Ha ha ha, next week it will be ho ho ho...

(Not so) cool weather...

No, it's SHITTY weather for us motorcyclists overhere in The Netherlands... Freezing and loads of snow... No, it's not cool it's just bloody freezing and very slippery...when snoow... This night the temp will prob drop to a -15 Celsius... Fuck me gently...!!
This little guy is right... it makes you wanna drop your pants and have a shite...!

Cool Pan washing...

In these cold days before Christmas, -4 to -6 degrees Celsius during the nights and mornings (feels like -20 when riding at 80 km's/hour) makes you think of warmer days...
Washing the sickle is one of the things that has to be done during riding season and the guy in the picture has a strange radical way of doing that... Like it!... Only a couple of months to go...

Till then (as long there is no snow or ice on the roads) I'll be riding with the sun in my head to keep me from freezing...! (Did I say earlier it wasn't gonne be cold...? I lieing I guess...

IT'S BLOODY COLD! Fingers are freezing and little ponds are under my key board when I de-frost at work... Ha ha ha

I know, it's my own freezing bloody choice...!

Cool Sunday Special...

Since Sunday we have a special guest in our house, it's a Normann... A (un)happy little tree since they had chopped off his feet somewhere in Norway or so... Now he is happy beaver again ever since we adopted him... We as a family decorated him with little sparking lights and silver balls and little angels...

(Looks like he has to leave again beginning of Januari. Pica source: theworldwideweb)

Cool lucky bastards...

Indeed, very lucky... Due to a too loose fit in the socket in the wall, we almost had a in-house fire on the attic... This plug was connected to the laundry-dryer... Not far away from my little gold mine of old biker mags... One floor up from where my kids are sleeping...
Lucky, lucky bastards...!! A new plug is connected again to the dryer, the new socket I will install this weekend... Useing an otherone till then...

(Above the green/yellow wire there used to be a blue wire...)

It's his birthday tomorrow... > Some old Dutch tradition we exported to the US and Cananadar where they changed it to Santa Claus...)

This year is my ten year anniversary with this cool Australian band... I ran into their music when we were travelling in Australia in 1999... Never stopped loving their music...

"...Ladies and gentlemen... The Living End !!!..."

Cool old mags...

I had some time left and spend it at the attic... Ran into a big stagg of old(er) mags and got my hands dirty... It's a little gold mine and had to control myself...

Sunday Special...

Here is this weeks winner of the Sunday Special... A bumper sticker on the back of transformed city bus... became the following bus for the oldtimers club of a Dutch Willy's Jeep enthousiasts group... The back side of the bus was transformed into a greasemonkeypit / workshop... great job!

Cool guitar...

Another cool picture, this time of a cool guitar...
Here is my musical future as well... After 21 years of playing drums (several Rockabilly, Psychobilly, guitarrock and rockandfuckingroll bands), I will start to learn to play the guitar... No worries, I will stick to playing accoustic in my own little space, won't bother any of you with it... maybe some fellow campers at the camp fire ha ha ha...
So long pots and pans, hello strings...

Cool Aussie band...!!

Being November in The Netherlands, in other words: loads of rain... A very good reason to keep your Classic Engineer Boots all polished and greased up...

Cool (late) prins...

Our Queen's dad, late Prins Bernhard was the racey kind of prins and playboy as well as it seemed... Like everyone he had to learn to drive... here is what happend: in 1937 he ended up on the rear of a sand lorry... here is how a Ford two seater looks like after that crash...
