My May Journey

Well, looking back at the month of May, it was a fun and enjoyable ride. I hit the road to travel shorter distances than I did in April, with that Hilton Head beach trip. However, several day trips did result in some great photos that I am going to share on this post. Under each photo is a brief description of the location, time, and other details.

My best May 2011 photos:

Wild birds eating off of this bell shaped seed feeder that I installed on my patio. It
took the birds several weeks to even start pecking at it, but more birds arrived after
each day. I saw two cardinals, lots of chickadees, and some thrushes eat seed. One
day the bell fell down off the hanger and then it was gone a few hours later when
I came home from church.


This is a PowerBook G4 Mac laptop that I repaired. It would not boot into OS X Tiger,
so I removed the hard drive, formatted it with a linux boot drive, then re-installed the OS.
After several software updates and a battery calibration it is like new. The only problem
is that there is not much software that I can purchase and install since this Mac doesn't have newer
Intel processor. I did find a game CD at Office Max that does still install. I have played
some games of checkers and a maze game, both on the Hoyle Puzzle CD.


This is a my awesome disk golf drive on hole #7 at Centinenial Campus DGC in Raleigh.
It is very challenging to reach the basket on this short 9 hole course, like an S pattern
through the trees, that I hit just right.


Another disc golf photo, this is number 11 at Kentwood DGC. I posted this one because it maybe a sign pointing to
this year, 2011. There is a bridge that cross over a creek, with a very overgrown, weeds and rough area
to the left of the fairway. Is this a sign of the rapture that will take Christians out of this world, leaving behind
the terrible tribulation(on the left). I have scored a 2 on this hole before, but it takes a very "straight" shot.


May was National Bike Month, and I took several photos while out riding my around on
my Mongoose mountain bike. This is Lochmere Lake in Cary at the end of a small pier at a boat ramp area.


This is part of the Hog Run trail system at Harris Lake. I think it is on the Advanced Loop
section, one of my favorite trails to ride, and always cool even when it is above 90 degrees.


A photo of my time going to play darts at Sharky's tavern in Raleigh. Others were playing
pool on those tables. Watched some of the playoff b-ball and hockey game on the wide screens. I think
I won all the dart games that I played.


Attending a singles event at Hope Community Church in Raleigh. The group is called Journey.
Sometimes they have other events that I try to attend if not working or busy.
