Popular Post zKars Posted June 7, 2019 Author Popular Post Share #2 Posted June 7, 2019 NO straight roads. All perfect pavement. Could never drive every road. Too many, every one is tight narrow twisty, bounded by rock or bush RIGHT there at your mirrors and rims. Lots of on-coming traffic, including trucks, makes for continuous butt clinching, challenge filled driving. Glorious! Only downside is the passenger's constant screaming and pleading for mercy. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheee! Posted June 7, 2019 Share #3 Posted June 7, 2019 I believe the Irish invented a beverage or two to calm the passenger. Perhaps that is the solution! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

240260280 Posted June 9, 2019 Share #6 Posted June 9, 2019 That looks like the west coast! Watch out for the mud and dirt and flooding on the road on rainy days (very few elevated roads with ditches). I lived there for 3 years. The short cuts were fun but you had to be careful.

zKars Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share #7 Posted June 9, 2019 Never experienced anything in Canada even close to what I find here. Hard to explain. Just know it's VERY fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

240260280 Posted June 10, 2019 Share #9 Posted June 10, 2019 Be sure to see the Castle in Trim and New Grange passage tomb if you are traveling just north of Dublin along the Boyne River!y You can climb the tower in the Monastery at Slane. My fav spot was a bit further north in Old Castle, another passage tomb/hill Witch's Seat/ Cairn. We used to go to Virginia when homesick... lots of coniferous trees! Watch out for black spots and speed traps! Also if you are in a pub, be sure to try chicken curry half chips and half rice. We were addicted to Tato crisps and Cadbury chocolate. You can get nice sandwiches and soups too. Best in the world... even at a Spar. Chicken with stuffing... baps.... chicken tika sambo, almond fingers..... mmmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zKars Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share #10 Posted June 10, 2019 Didn't see or generate any black spots. No surprise they exist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zKars Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share #11 Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) The Ireland trip even generated a few ideas about my future plans for parts storage and inventory. This is the "long room" in the Trinity College library. Plainly the concept of "heaviest on the bottom, lightest on top" as seen in the ordering strategy on the shelves, also applies to car parts. Sorry having trouble with this new .HEIC files that my iphone is magically using now.... Anybody else fighting with this crap? I can't just choose files from the "Click to choose files" button anymore. Apple strikes again. I used a resize app to grab one and saved it, which saved it as a jpg, but this is not fun.
