    Missile silo. Never thought of that. We have some cold war remnants in NJ on display including a Nike missile. An article on it. I have a pic of my GS next to the missile (on dumb photobucket)


    Mario, let me know if you head out to Red Bank. Ill try not to be a loser and get out for a ride.

    Old pic.

We still have a few in NJ. I passed one this morning on my way to work with an old gray and red Ford Tractor in front if it.
    I thought I'd look for a missile silo since we have a very large stockpile next to Albuquerque but the thought of being shot by an unmanned rotating gun turret was a real bummer. So, it was a toss up between a sawdust or concrete silo.....

    Hoping I can get out for a ride again this week. We have a pretty cool Comic Book Shop about 30 minutes from me... some may know it... Jay & Silent Bob's Secret Stash...

    I'd be more likely to pull a lobster from the Rio Grande than to find a grain silo around here. I did however come acrossed a concrete silo.

    Here's the museum tag. A snowmobile museum I stopped by today. A whole bunch of vintage snow machines in that building. The trick is to visit when it's open. Here is their link to generate some interest or to do a virtual tour.

    It's hard not to ride by at least one of those on every ride, lol.
    Man, I looked all over for a duct tape repair of some sort as well. Every time I drove another vehicle I'd see a bumper or car window taped up but try to find one, yeah right! I saw a GS 450 a while back with a fairing held together by duct tape. I looked all over town for weeks but never saw it again. Oh well.

    Ok, here is the 40mph speed limit sign. I looked everywhere for a duct tape repair and couldn't find one anywhere so, I took the option for the speed limit sign.

    Not really sure why it keeps posting it sideways, it looks proper everywhere else. The only thing I had available was my phone so, sorry about the quality.

    Now, to hopefully get the ball rolling, here are a couple options:
    A museum, this one just happens to be a Flight Museum. Another flight museum would be fine but, it really doesn't matter what kind of museum, it can be an Art Museum, a History Museum, a Science and Technology Museum or whatever kind of museum that you see.







    If there is no museum around, you can do a College or University.












    If there is no Museum or College/University here is another option, a Hospital.




    There are a few options here so, hopefully it'll get the game rolling again. If these all fail, there is always the option to get the 45mph speed limit sign.

    It's good to see a new pic, and a nice one at that! I think this photobucket crap just opened up a whole bunch of possible new tags. Pics or it didn't happen, right?

    I like playing the game so I am continuing the dual theme. Here is the 35 sign so next up is 40 mph or an outdoor duct tape repair, or both!

    Or, are there two parallel games going on at the same time?
    Great question! Honestly, I've been looking for a 35mph sign that has been duct taped up somehow to try and appease both. But then what?

    The speed sign seemed at first an easier way to appeal to the masses with it getting harder to find new tags and all. It wound up, at least in my mind, being way too predictable and easy like low hanging fruit. The game seems to try to steer back into the original format (rut??) but some don't want that. I realized it wouldn't be hard, in say a half hour, to grab every mph number possible and just post one after the other if one was so inclined to do so, thereby taking any fun or challenge out of it. But who would do such a thing, right? And why? Guess I've learned to be a bit cynical raising conniving teenagers.

    I vote to bail on the speed sign altogether, and since I made a mess of it, if necessary I'd gladly refrain from future posts to see it enjoyed by you folks again!
