Jeez, make it a challenge. Like a non-Harley domestic.
Well, never mind. We'd never get a new tag.

I would, but I can't get my bike out of the garage right now because of all this frickin snow...
I had to de-ice the plane today before takeoff. This weather sucks.

O, Woe is me!!
So posting from the field is OK?
Bike with water was kind of cheating for me, since I live three blocks from salt water, so I used the excuse to ride to a park I haven't been to in years. Didn't post because I didn't have a new tag in mind, thought I'd watch for a bit first. Still, you forced me to go out into this obviously horrible weather. I even had to put a sweatshirt on under my mesh jacket! B-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r! This is St. Joseph Peninsula. That hair that sticks out from the pimple on the Florida panhandle.
I made a "fun" version, too, with my 8mm fisheye lens:

Yeah, I figured I'd get Bruced because it took a day and a half to load up the damn pics! And like I said, I didn't have a new tag ready anyway...
But my question still stands, and I've seen other tag threads play it one way or the other.
Is posting from the field OK, or do you complete the ride and get home first?

Posting from the field is fine, (assuming you can post a pic or functional link), but the hope is that you post the next tag the same day. Preferably shortly after the grab. A lot of folks can only get out on weekends, so if you post a grab, then drag your feet on the next tag, it wastes riding time for some peeps.
I may have to push that 2x2 rule and grab the current tag if no one else goes for it tomorrow. I've got a HD dealer about 30 miles away.

Yeah?
Road is bare outside right now, but current forecast for tomorrow is for ~ 2 feet of the white fluffy.

Yeah, but I have to work for a living. See ya tomorrow!!!!
EDIT: OK, I put on a long-sleeved tee and went out for a barber shop. Not much of a ride, only 3 miles or so, but this one has a story.
It's maybe half a mile from my childhood house here, and I got my hair cut there. Once.
I came out looking like I'd been in a military prison for some years. You know, like majicmaker, but not Hispanic. All I was missing was a broken nose and some neck tattoos.
But to be honest, I don't recall majicmaker actually having those, either, now that I think about it....
Anyway, after all these years I finally have the chance to publicly cry "FOUL!" on this place for the abomination they made me wear for the months it took to grow back out.
Next tag is 2 hours away, I'll pick it up tomorrow afternoon. I have the grandkids in the morning, so you'll have to wait till then.
BTW, just a mile down the road I was wishing I'd left the long sleeves at home. My phone said it was 65, but I think it gets its info from the airport, which is 30 miles from here. It was closer to 72.

Next tag, assuming my barber shop is OK: novelty water tower.
You've all seen the golf balls, baseballs, even Mickey Mouse ears. So pretty much any water tower that's not just a plain tank with the city or utility name on it. It might be painted with a mural or other artwork, maybe made up to look like fruit, or an animal.
This one at Pensacola Beach is a beach ball. It's actually no longer in use. The utility sold it to the city for one dollar some years ago, and the city just repainted it last year.

Interesting! It's warming up and the roads are salt and snow free now. I'm going for a ride tomorrow.
Nice grab and new tag Wfooshee. Not sure I'd have a chance with the water tower, we mostly have on ground tanks here with boring stuff on them, if anything. Hopefully someone will find a good grab for that. If it goes a week w/o a grab, we can bug you to pick something else.

O, Woe is me!!
Yeah, the out-of-use tower I used was actually replaced by ground tanks. It was a landmark, or beacon of sorts for the beach area there, so they elected to keep it. It had a twin at the other end of the beach which has been removed.

I have a plain looking water tank in mind, but the painting on it makes it unique. Hopefully I'll submit it tomorrow for your approval.

I don't see no stinking water towers!!!!! Don't make me find another tag. I'm having a bad week at work and I'll take it out on you guys.
