    Listenin' tae a natife scotsman spick sassenach shoods gie us aw a newfoond appreciation fur th' micht ay th' roman empire. 'at hadrian’s dyke coods prevent th' spreid ay th' sassenach leid north is a true tribute tae th' ingenuity an' skill ay those roman craftsmen. scotlain has nae only different words fur things, but different pronunciations fur words 'at sassenach speakers frae aroond th' warld mauna be familiar wi'. even the-day some ay scootlund still speaks a significantly different leid tae sassenach. some ay th' western isles spick gaelic yit, an' oan th' eest coest doric still has puckle strongholds left.

    HOLD THAT THOUGH!!! ;-)

    Anyone have a glossary? I suppose this is considered a dialect of English but if it goes any farther it could just about be another language.

    And here comes another photo of my Sierra adventures!

    Dialect or language on its own, I guess it all depends on how further it goes. Yeahhhh! That photo on the snow seems to say time for less talking and more riding guys!. Cool!

    That's a horrible thought, I tell you, that would cramp my style.

    BTW Inter, I was checking the forecast and they're saying high winds (30 km/h) for Friday, so that might put a crimp in our road ride, that wind might blow us all over the road. We'll have to watch the forecast and play it by ear.

    I can't stop! Brace yourself, here comes another one!!

    P.S. The idiom count for this post is three. I think they're fairly universal, not just American English.

    1. cramp my style
    2. put a crimp in
    3. play it by ear

    I'm still trying to guess what I've read a few posts before... Is that supposed to be English?! It's time for me to spend my time in a different way :cursing

    Jorge, I think when the stork brought you to Spain it must have made a wrong turn or something, cos you're practically a Scot!

    Horror, for some reason you can't see my latest picture! I know you don't want to miss this so let's try again.

    I think the above picture captures the spirit of enduro riding; you never want to pass up a chance to get airborne!

    In that pic it looks a little like he's got a cape on. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Enduroman.

    Tomorrow I'm heading to Hoyo de Manzanares for more fun on two wheels, and off two wheels when I'm in the air, ha ha. Looks like it's going to be cold and windy (and maybe even rainy), let's hope it's not too bad. At least there shouldn't be snow: we chose a lower altitude just to avoid that cold white stuff.

    BTW, today I've bought some body armor and I'll be trying it out tomorrow: hope it's comfortable, it seemed to fit OK in the shop. It's got shoulder, back, chest, elbow, and forearm protection. In any case, if I have any hard landings I'll be more protected!

    I'd like to be able to fly away, ha ha ha.

    We had a good ride today in Hoyo. We were lucky and didn't get caught in the rain. And it wasn't windy at all so the cold didn't bother us, in fact I was hot with my body armor on under my jacket. By the way, I'm really happy with it! It didn't bother me or inhibit my movements. But I'm wondering if I'm going to be able to bear it in the summer when it's hot. Well, we'll wait and see.

    So thanks to my body armor I suppose I look like a pretty beefy guy, not the beanstalk people usually take me for, ha ha.
