Picto Diary - 24, 25, 26 September 2018 - TIMDT's 39th
Above: TIMDT on her 39th! Le Gabriel Restaurant, Place de la Bourse, Bordeaux, France. 25 September 2018.
TIMDT: Turbot.
Mwah (sic): Game hen.
Happy birthday! — eating dinner with my love at Le Gabriel.
TIMDT also celebrated her birthday last year outside of the US. She was on a ship to Panama on 25 September 2017.
TIMDT was joined by most of her immediate family members for a celebration of family September birthdays last Friday at California Pizza Kitchen, in Murray, UT.

Background: Place de la Bourse.
Miroir d'eau is a one-of-a-kind reflecting pool that people can actually walk over. It was built in 2006. It is made up of a field of granite slabs which are covered in a half inch of water, creating a sort of giant mirror. It covers 37K square feet.
During the summer months, the shallow skin of water an be turned into a fog of mist, as seen in the image above, by a mechanism hidden beneath the slabs. Other than this feature, the pool generally sits as a quiet, if giant, puddle.
TIMDT and Mwah (sic) acknowledged to one another that we had never seen anything like this water feature.

Center of Bordeaux wine country.
The Romans started all this vine culture enjoyed in the West today.
Beautiful weather... low '70's, sunshine.
Lottsa walking, which is good.
Our taxi driver was a Harley Davidson owner. He said one of the best experiences of his life was riding a Harley, over a three week period, through the American southwest four years ago.

Virtue is its own reward.
TIMDT asked waiter if she could keep it.
"No," he said. "We reuse them." — eating dinner with my love at Le Bordeaux Gordon Ramsay.
Gordon Ramsay. Not Deplorable food...still, not bad.
Addendum:
Sooooo. The “Duck” is getting some brain surgery?!

Hog Nose Momma’s broken hip is healing and Bleeder is back on a motorcycle after breaking five ribs and busting himself up pretty good while reading his GPS at speed.
PAPARRAZZI CAUGHT FILMING BOOM BOOM INDIAN RACER
At the top secret Denver motorcycle studio one camera paparazzi was chased away after being seen using a selfie stick to film over the top of the 8 foot high wall enclosing the compound. Outside the enclosed Jumping Fish Adventure Resort in Montana another camera person was chased away after trying to film Boom Boom Indian Racer doing his outdoor morning naked yoga routine as part of the secret racing weight loss program that resulted in a 30 lb weight loss prior to the hill climb.
INDIAN SPORT SCOUT RACER QUIETLY GOES ON THE MARKET
The 1936 Indian Sport Scout race motorcycle (photo attached that is used with some ads) has been quietly announced as being for sale. Tire kickers, offers from Nigeria and time wasters or BSers have been ignored or told if trying to significantly negotiate or knock down the price they don’t know s*** about value.
SURPRISE PAINTING FROM SCOOTER GUY
Scooter Guy, unable to break away from a heavy work schedule in Thailand to help man the pits on race day in July, made an over-the-top contribution. He took the ad photo (pic attached) to a Thai artist who painted a 2’ x 4’ image of the 1936 Indian race bike on canvas. Unbelievable was how the artist, who had never seen a hill climb or the Indian after the dirt, captured the essence of dirty hill climbing or flat track racing with brown dirt on the race bike. A photo of the painting is attached. A fist bumping global “thank you” went to Scooter Guy for his conjuring of a way to be a part of the global team and surprising Boom Boom Indian Racer. The artist “did a heck of a job, right down to the red duct tape on the left handlebar that holds the kill switch.”
NEXT?
Finger waving at the few naysayers who sat on their porch, maybe huddled in their office cubicles or residences pounding keyboards while the Team celebrated a Hill Climb trophy and having scored an event T-shirt will ponder and likely be trolling and keyboard pounding the pending announcement that the Team has a plan to approach Elon Musk for space on a future moon flight for the Indian and Boom Boom Indian Racer to be the first to ride a motorcycle on the moon, or as a lady inner circle planner said, “It will be one small ride for a man, one giant motorcycle adventure for mankind.”
