Cool company...

It's been over a year now since I started my own company. Loads of things happend and I learned a lot as well. Got myself interesting customers and creating beautyful stuff. Not only PowerPoint presentations but also graphic design, house style design, Blufftitler animations, some photography and just having a good time at being my own boss... hahaha.

Cool group of heroes...!

Here is a very cool pica of a cool dude, a hero to me... Close to liberating the Netherlands this pica is taken in the South of the country... Young men risking their lifes to come over and fight for our freedom, from all over the world young men (and women) left their homes and came to side of the world to liberate us from nazi Germany...
Every year we remember the ones who didn't live to tell... Foreign soldiers but also the countries heroes from the resistance... The next day, May 5th, we celebrate our freedom...
A big thank you to all of them fighting for our freedom...

Cool ride out...

Like a smart man once said: "Alway expect the un-expected"...

Uncool first snow...

After yesterdays (and todays high water) serious storm, more winter weather arrived overhere in the low lands. Just saw the first snow of this month...
Salty roads and a nice looking bike don't go together, if you want to keep her looking good... I think I have to putt her into hybernation till the roads are clean again... More because I want to keep the sickle good than I couldn't stand the cold, cause I can... (if you read winter posts of previous years...)

Cool mom...

Here's my mom in 1957 or 58...
Today it's her birthday, she turned 80...!!!
Eighty and still goning (less strong then she wants)! Bad hipjoints even after hip surgery (on one side) 5 years ago, daily in loads of pain... She also has to do the other side but hey what do you think... not after this succes experience... Hope she will stay a bit longer, as long as she can handle the pain...
Love you mom.

Cool pitstop...

"Jealousy is an emotion and typically refers to the negative thoughts and feelings of insecurity, fear, and anxiety over an anticipated loss of something that the person values, particularly in reference to a human connection."
Source: Wikipedia

People can react very strange when they are jealous. Specially on the road; jealous when one rides on his motorcycle between the lanes. Closing the gaps...?? Or riding very close behind you when you just overtook them (on the right hand side because they thought they own the fast lane...). Most of the tims it's Volvo and Audi drivers who can't control their feelings of insecurity and fear...

Ride safely...!!!

With honour and Respect...

Tomorrow early in the morning, it's 69 years ago paratroopers entered their skytrains, to fly to the beaches of occupied France and night jump into the into the unknown... 'Round seven in the morning the invasion started on the beaches of Normandy, a start to kick the german's asses and kick them back to germany...
Unfortunately it took almost a year to free Europe...
I think we should have a huge amount of honour and respect for these young men who fought for our freedom. Thousands lost their lives even before they had a foot on dry Frensh soil...

With honour & Respect...!!!

Cool and (un)True

I know I'll never grow up...!!!

Cool or not, you're getting Bohica-ed...

Sometime you get that feeling somethings ain't right...
Then, later you find out your gut feeling is correct... You confront the other person and he says he doesn't share that feeling, that things are uneven... As soon as you confront him with hard figures he still doesn't want to change the situation... Yep, you get the feeling you're getting fucked... Actually,... you are!!!

In other words; bend over here it comes again...

(Time for a change...?)

Uncool to post, but feel the need...!

It's still necessary to keep the people in the
fourwheeled vehicles awake...!!!

Cool but strange pica...

WTF...?

Friday January 11th, a red dust cloud is on it's way towards Onslow... A Australian west coast town...

Bagger mate...!!!

Cool warf...

In 1991 the family hotel concern 'Van der Valk' bought this warf for 1 Dutch guilder (0,46 Euro)...

In June they already set up the plan to make them not responsable (they agreed in 1991 that they are responsable...) for the maintenance of the warf... Not only the family has the restaurant there, they also let the shops to the shop keepers... They are the victims of the 'no-maintenance-option' of the Van der Valk family...

I love declay on buildings but this is realy sad, to see the only interresting building in the Netherlands fall into the sea... To bad...

Cool lighthouse...

Riding through the harbour area with mini me this weekend... This an old lighthouse in our local harbour... It's been transformed into a antenna for mobile phones... Nice how it's almost an invisable transformation... Better then the obious fake trees they place in the nature areas...

(un)Cool maintenance moments...

The wet season is starting over here in the Netherlands, so I thought I'd better get myself some new rubber on the front wheel... It was getting wobbely anyways...

I was a bit to enthusiast on one bolts and yeah... it snapped... Leaving a small bit of the stud in the lower fork leg... Bugger mate! YOU MUPPET!! Decided to heat the hell out of the leg and with a pair of grip pliers I managed to get the bugger out... Ordered a new one for 80 Euro cents and have to wait till Tuesday for it to come in...

(An old beer crate always makes a good support stand...)

Cool sick blues...

The misses and daughter wanted to be swung around, backwards-forwards, up-down, left-right, till they almost had to throw up... Well, the got value for their money... "The ride lasted a bit to long this time..." ha ha ha... Me and mini-me had a good distance and view on it...! Nice fair-ride...!

Cool beach pica...

The kids had a beach excursion last Sunday, learning about the animals - shells - plants in the dunes... We did a little stroll on the sand and  found the trash-dumpsters didn't float out to sea... Let's keep the beaches and seas clean...

Cool, cool heroes...!!!

Over here in the Netherlands this Friday we'll have 'Remembrance day' and on Saturday we celebrate our national 'Liberation day'... Friday we remember all the people that fought for our freedom during the second world war (and all the people that suffered from acts of war)... At 8 pm the whole nation will be silent for two minutes (where ever we go, we will stand still) and the day after, music festivals are widely spread... Celebrating our freedom!

Thank you all for fighting for our freedom!

Freedom is something worth fighting for...!!!

Cool preview...

They say it's gonna get freeezing cold from this weekend on... Skating on the canals...?
Time to get the winter stuff out again...

(Un)Cool search...

For two days, the original keys to The Young Geisha had a little vacation... I couldn't find them and that drove me mad... Asking the kids if they had played with them... Turning over every dumpster, twice... Searching every room, bag jacket jeans I could lay my hands on...

Finally, checking the corner with jackets again, third time, laying on my tummy on the floor... From the corner of my eye I saw the buggers hanging between the bottles of wine laying there...

For you who don't know; Honda has a chip in their ignition keys which is checked every time you start the sickle, the H.I.S.S. Honda Ingnition Security System... Expensive to order a new key...!
Thank god I found the little buggers again...

Cool protection...

This morning  it was a fogging small world again... But entering the city of Amsterdam visability was fine... Maybe there was still a cloud hanging in front of the head of the driver of 'the whitevan men' van... When he decided to drive off the sidewalk, he didn't look to see if there was anyone else in his world...
At that moment my protective angel jumped off the back of the sickle and pushed me around it... Thanx Angel!
