Daytona Frustrations

Daytona Bike Week is one of the world's great spectacles. It ought to be on everyone's bucket list. I haven't missed one in years. One of the first things I do when arriving there is to search out a couple of great T-shirts ( no small task as there must be at least 10 billion of them on display ) to get me in the swing of things. But, darn, this is the only kind of stuff I could find. Frustrating for sure.

Struggling on through the first day there, I decide to get a creative shot of some beer cans in a tray of ice. Wouldn't you know it, this creature keeps jumping in my way....never did get the shot I wanted. At the end of the day, I fled back to Jacksonville. I'm not going to hang around a place where nothing is going my way.

I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Nicely done Tom! In second one you might want to clone out the leading lines.

    I hear you, Taz. Actually, I tried that. The left cheek cooperated, the right cheek gave me fits. The shadow was the culprit. The gal would sit on a little stool that left its marks. Somehow, I didn't notice those " leading lines " as she continually jumped around in front of me.

    Well pard,

    It's not for me to judge, although I do wonder what contortions you must go through in your car for the driver behind you to be able to read your new shorts eek7.gif

    Oh wait!

    I got a visual...... Have to go wash my eyes out rolleyes1.gif

    Hey Rags,

    Yea, the weather down there this year wasn't too conducive to shooting bikini babes....only had a couple of days when they were out in force. But then a couple of days of that stuff is about all a guy can take.

    I'm not sure about Orlando, but back home in Jacksonville they awarded me with the keys to the city. :ivar

    You don't give me enough credit. pard. I hire a driver so that I can keep my fanny hanging out of the passenger window. If the Pied Piper had had my bag of tricks, he could have ruled the world.

    BTW....is that a hint of jealousy I detect in you? These things do come in different colors to reflect your own personality.

    See you, brother,

    Well, Eric, it's the best I can do and not risk getting arrested. I'd love to show some of the mud wrestling shots and the topless competitions, but, with all the NASA snooping going on, I better play it safe. :hide

    Take care, buddy,

    Sadly when I look at the butt shot all I see is old frayed underwear. Not even counting how uncomfortable they look. If your gona run run around in your undies at least have a nice new pair on. :D

    Nice try at the angle and subject.

    Good to hear from you, Sam.

    Man, I've got to go see my optometrist. I didn't even see the underwear.
