Thank you @SunFlower_7 

Hi there @TAB @Faith-and-Hope @outlander and all passing. 

BEAUTIFUL SOULS!

Thanks @Former-Member - we have 2 pizza ovens up at the community farm bro and sil have shares in - I helped make one of them.  They're great.  The plan is to make one in our vegie garden eventually.    We do have a cast iron fire pit in the vegie garden, which I love to have a little fire in at night sometimes.

But onto 'vintage'  @outlander and all - I used to have a vintage motorcycle ...

My mother sold it for less than half it's value when I was in hospital. Nuff said.  I loved it so!

[outlander]

is that a picture of your actual bike? @eth

[eth]

The pic is exactly the same as the one I had @outlander.

[outlander]

looks pretty stylish @eth
im not a fan of motorbikes- or riding them myself anyway, not brave enough for that

I'm not any more either @outlander  When I was going through a dv court case and manic and in flight state from PTSD I had a blackout while I was doing 80 in traffic - at least that's what I realised when I came to, still upright and travelling with traffic in lanes either side of me.  When I was 46.  Having another bike and getting my licence etc properly had been a dream ever since my mum sold the other one, but that put an end to it.  I parked the bike in a servo and couldn't even ride it home for 3 days.  When I did I parked it again and never rode it again.  3 years later I sold it for half what I paid even tho' it was in as new condition.  I couldn't stand looking at it any longer in the hope I'd get back on.

[outlander]

Oh dear @eth that mustve been hard for you back then. Hopefully you found a new dream to aim for

[eth]

Not yet @outlander  - at least not anything that's turned out to actually be a good idea.  Have started a few things when manic that didn't work out when depression kicked in again.  Still taking baby steps and managing bp and cPTSD on a daily basis.  

Sorry folks this might not be the right place for this part of my story, but it is what is evoked in me every time I hear the word vintage.

[outlander]

Baby steps are enough @eth and sometimes the goal of the day is to simply get through to the end of the day
