Good morning everyone. Back to the rest of a weird work week (with another like it next week).

Now if you were to live north of the 49th parallel. Better known as the Great White North. Or CANADA 🇨🇦 🍁.

You could sit back and relax today and enjoy the holiday, called Boxing Day.

History of this day:

This custom is linked to an older British tradition in which the servants of the wealthy were allowed the next day to visit their families since they would have had to serve their masters on Christmas Day. The employers would give each servant a box to take home containing gifts, bonuses, and sometimes leftover food.

Modern tradition is the following:
Get to the mall or store for the Boxing Day Sales.

Now this has turned into:
Boxing Week sales.🤣

How times have changed from the lowly peon getting a box of table scraps. To the modern day version of materialistic wants and needs.

I figured out oldmxrat some time ago but never called him out. Old not so much Mx motocross and rat referring to desert rat someone from the desert. My CRF450x I also have 1976 Honda Elsinore 125 and 250 Enduro, with California license plated one digit off from each other, so basically matching. One day when I clean out the shed I’ll post a pic here. They’re buried in there.

Had a Honda 68 CL350 in the early eighties. Rode that puppy to/from work in the snow a couple times.
Later an 83(?) Honda CB500-4.

Weigh to heavy (pun intended) for thoughts of 2 stroke trails.
Both ridden on dirt when/where required.

Rode the former railroad grade a couple times on borrowed Harley dirt bikes.
Owner wiped out behind me one day on the whoop de doo's and I had to lift his bike off him.
Metal and well toothed foot peg had punched behind his shin bone. Looked like a shotgun slug hole. He rode the same bike to the doctor.
He bought Harley Sprints and flipped (fix up and sell) them. We never ran one of them for some reason.
