My office buddy when wfh in my day job, meet Lola. A lovely lady who loves tummy rubs. She doesn't help much with my work but she's a good listener when venting.

New #motorcycle day today for me. Added a 2023 #RoyalEnfield #Himalayan #Scram411 to the stable.

We made the Arctic Circle, Owain on his #Suzuki GSX-250R (yes on The Depmster) and me@organicmaps@fosstodon.org My #royalenfield #Himalayan #motorcycle #canada #yukon #dempster

New tires/tyres at Yukon Yamaha - you take the wheels off, they spoon the tires on. A lifesaver! The gsx250r looks good shod in 50-50 rubber ;-) Shinko rear Anakee front #motorcycle #royalenfield #himalayan #suzuki #yukon

Gromit the #himalayan has brought me here along with Owain on his #gsx to the Yukon #Motorcycle Park just outside Whitehorse #yukon, - nice place, glamping for bikers and the idea place to prep for our next adventure northwards! #royalenfield #motorbikes

Need firewood for the camp? Got you covered… Gromit the bike at The Battlefords Provincial Park, Saskatchewan, just around 4000km from home, 1.5 weeks into the journey to Tuk @royalenfield #himalayan #motorcycle

John Gruber might be Satan. magit-wip-mode. I can never tell when NYT is being obtuse or unintentionally helpful. New Himalayan loom – fingers crossed.

Ugh, Apple News. Ugly, functional shoes. Selling the Himalayan. Band of Brothers.

@arnowi awesome now that is great to know! Happy to make stickers for anyone who wants one #royalenfield #Himalayan

Things done with my #royalenfield #Himalayan #motorcycle (named Gromit) in the 2 weeks we have been together, 2500km, camping, 12v sockets (2) USB ports (2), voltmeter, molle side bags, first aid kit, led fog pods, led light strip, sintered pads, oil, filter, air filter (K&N yay!), master cylinder guard, hand guards with indicators, tank bag, jerry can on the front right ‘crash’ bars, ram mount, advanced motorcycle handling course, and this… it's in Nepali and says... Himalaya (apparently!)

So I thought I would see what the talk was about and got myself a #royalenfield #himalayan #motorcycle #motorbike and after 2 days to do the 500km run in can report it totally rocks! Great fun and a smile a minute… mud optional but strongly recommended @Valheru @SeaFury

@TheAlchemist 🥥 This is 100% true: I had a white and gray #Himalayan #cat named #Tosca who totally unbidden would start doing boudoir type poses if anyone brought a camera within eyeshot. I'll never know if she could have been a star or if she was just a slut. 🥥

Scarred for life: the #Himalayan towns sinking into oblivion

The construction of vast dams and a network of roads and railways have taken a heavy toll on the state of #Uttarakhand, with buildings in #Joshimath and other settlements collapsing and residents blaming government indifference

by Hannah Ellis-Petersen, Mon 20 Mar 2023

"Joshimath sits 6,000ft up in the Indian high Himalayas, a mountain range steeped in spiritual meaning for Hindus who believe it is the abode of the gods. Nanda Devi, a peak visible from a point above the town, is said to be a manifestation of the Hindu goddess Parvati. The town is close to one of the most sacred Hindu shrines of the Himalayas, Badrinath temple, where millions of salvation-seeking pilgrims travel every year.

"As far back as 1976, scientists cautioned that any heavy construction, tunnelling or disturbance of the Joshimath slope could have serious consequences. The warnings were ignored, and an unregulated sprawl of homes, multistorey hotels, shops and restaurants was allowed to spring up along the mountainside. #Trees, which stabilised the ground, were cut down and drainage was neglected.

"The allegation now being investigated by independent geologists is that the cracks caused by boring and blasting the tunnel have spread deep into the mountain. As a result, the water that gushed into the tunnel after the 2021 disaster, and other disrupted water flows caused by construction, is now seeping through these cracks and destabilising the slope where Joshimath stands."

I am happy to contribute to buying portable ultrasound machines for #Himalayan Villages. Are you too?

@DrMingmaSherpa would conduct training for nurses working in remote villages to use these machines which could save many mothers.

#motorcyclists of #mastodon - got any opinions on the Royal Enfield #Himalayan? Am thinking of maybe getting a 2nd hand one to replace large & heavy Moto Guzzi
