Tough one. Rode to a park where there used to be a locomotive. Unfortunately, like many parks right now, they'd lost their funding, and the engine had been moved up north. Grumble grumble..
Remembered there is a "dinner train" in Atlanta, so ran by there. Fortunately, I was in time.

It may not be much of a locomotive.. but it is a locomotive.

For the tag, how about a cupola? It doesn't have to be as grandiose, and it can still be on top of the barn..

The tag o rama did it's job. It had me out on my scooter on this nice fall afternoon. It won't be long before our southern brethren will have to carry on this quest.

Hhmm I like a challenge Chuck...next weekend will go hunting for a cupola...now where can I find one!

Easier to find and a lot more interesting to find up north, but not down in these parts.

Crossroads, pretty easy but I was at a loss for time and anything more interesting:

Is that our first European player? Most excellent.

I'm not able to get out and ride for probably another week and a half so this is my vicarious riding thread.

Grab: (actually a few times, just to make sure).

Way up behind a nursing home in Boonsboro, MD (close as I could get).

High atop Red Hill, near Keedysville, MD.

New tag: "mom and pop", small town diner/restaurant/cafe'/eatery. This the Dixie Diner in Smithsburg, MD.

Aaaacck! I just came in with my pix of "impediments to aerial navigation"

Oh, well.. it got me out on the Mighty Scura.

Chuck in Indiana · « **Reply #159 on:** October 28, 2019, 02:49:09 PM »

Well, I don't know about a Mom and Pop.. but here's a Pop.

for the tag.. how about a historical marker?

bad Chad · « **Reply #160 on:** October 28, 2019, 04:51:39 PM »

I'm just curious, which one of the Locomotives has the most power? My bet is on the Scura.

Unless the Scura has more than 300 hp, you'd lose that bet...

I know a guy that says his Burgman will do 160.

I'll bet it has more than 300 hp..

Historic Marker - yes this is the same Pickett 3000 miles away.

Since getting the Fascist (1937) bacon slicer running I've enjoyed the irony of using it to deliver our ballots. So how about a tag with your Guzzi at a ballot drop box or polling place?

No voting going on in Maryland this year. When it is, the polling place is just the local volunteer fire department.

Didn't think of that. Guess some states are smarter! Here we've got a raft of state-wide measures, some state offices and a bunch of local ones.

How far are you from Gettysburg? Maybe we can do a lateral and substitute another Pickett marker.

Antietam Classic Cycle · « **Reply #167 on:** November 03, 2019, 06:42:42 PM »

Didn't feel like going up to the mess that is Gettysburg today, just went for a lunch loop to Berkeley Springs, WV and back the long way. On one backroad near Unger, WV, I passed a place called "Farnum Colossi" and saw a giant Midas muffler man (and friends). Waaaay late with that one.

Never did figure out a polling place and won't be going in NorVa on Thursday just to find one!

SED · « **Reply #168 on:** November 03, 2019, 08:40:16 PM »

That's certainly tag-worthy!

Don't know of any giant people around here, but could probably come up with a life-size Orca. And there are some dinosaurs a couple hundred miles away (just down the road from Zillah) and more in Oregon. Also in Oregon are a giant ground sloth and an ichthyosaur.

Maybe someone will find a polling station or a ballot box by Tuesday, otherwise tag reverts to giant people.

Muffler men are few and far between in Oz. I know where there is a dressmaker's dummy in a Bikini, she's down the south coast. Or I could nip into Fishwyck and get a pic of an inflatable bedtime companion in the window of one of the dirty book shops.

C'mon! Someone must have a Muffler Man near them!

I still may be able to find a "polling place" to get us back on track. Don't hit the "reset button" on my account.

Didn't go to a polling place Tuesday.. we were in Indy. Elections around here were a few city officials, and we couldn't vote.
It's below freezing, so I'm out unless it warms up some. I know of a muffler man within striking distance.. and a giant pink elephant.

john fish · « **Reply #173 on:** November 09, 2019, 06:50:32 PM »

Getting cold here. Should be able to get a voting place, though.

Antietam Classic Cycle · « **Reply #174 on:** November 09, 2019, 07:17:22 PM »

My "voting/polling place" (Boonsboro VFD Station 8) is less than a tenth of a mile away, but no voting has taken place since last Nov. 5th.

SED · « **Reply #175 on:** November 09, 2019, 08:01:22 PM »

According to NPR only 5 states had elections and ours wasn't one of them - doesn't explain why we were mailed ballots and voters guides....

I would've thought there was someone from those state with a Guzzi!

Anyway, if you can't find a polling place maybe it's OK 'cause I found a muffler man... errr tin man?

nooo... I'd never ride a classic in the rain.

john fish · « **Reply #176 on:** November 10, 2019, 11:09:59 AM »

I’ll grab it. This is my local voting place. Used to be the high school and is now the local senior center and poll location. Yes, I voted there 5 days ago.

john fish · « **Reply #177 on:** November 10, 2019, 11:13:10 AM »

Here’s the new tag. Post Office.

And here’s a bonus photo. Because this is next to our post office and I like it. :)

Chuck in Indiana · « **Reply #178 on:** November 10, 2019, 11:20:57 AM »

Glad to see you out and about, Mr. Fish..

We're looking for temps in the teens (Fahrenheit) on Tuesday so I took it for a run, filled the tank, and put some stabilizer in the tank while I was at it.

Jeepers, I'm not liking this winter stuff. Who came up with this freezing temperature idea anyway?
