At yet another bike o work day!

This time it’s Duncan who looked at the camera

Whenever I remember that the bike to work day is coming I will actually get up early with the dog and the dog cart. I think the first time I did the bike to work breakfast was in 2009; at least that’s where I found this blog entry. Back then I tried to hit every stati0n. Since I didn’t have Duncan Madog back then, it was easier to travel all around town and not have to stop to pee every 5 minutes. But Duncan is cute so it’s good to have him along for the ride.

Yet Another New Year?

The tree still looked good!

Duncan Madog not paying attention

Jeannie’s fingers can be seen on the left trying to make Duncan Madog look cute for the camera.  Duncan never liked the little Santa hat attached to his head and he would always seem to avoid being around when the camera is out, so this is the best picture we could get.

Jeanne and a ceramic horse

Yes, the local Budweiser plant had their Clydesdale horses for view in the stables but none were posing for the camera so this ceramic horse will do.

A Tanpura

Or close to it, depending on how it’s used. It is a home-made instrument that apparently can provide a continuous harmonic drone that works well with an Australian didgeridoo or Indian sitar.

Corgis Rule

The First Annual Tour De Corgi

Corgis Unite!

Go Crazy

Jim & Jeanne and Duncan

A Great Day For A Parade

And all the corgis from the area were there! Had to be, there were hundreds of them. Too much fun, but no, Duncan didn’t wear a costume.

The Corgis are Here!

At least in this painting…

It’s called Picnic Bandits

By Karen C. who has her studio above the Creator Hub. Duncan Madog visits her often because she always (most of the time) has a treat for him.

BREAKING NEWS: All the corgis in the area will come on down to Library Park in Fort Collins this October 3rd for the First Annual “Tour de Corgi”. Wait for it!

Check In

Saturday, June 20th, 2015

OK, so I haven’t checked in for a while…

Stuff is still going on

Duncan is still hungry, Jeannie is conducting, 3D printers are printing and I don’t what the hell he’s doing.

Duncan’s Ride

Wednesday, June 10th, 2015

Summer is almost here and Duncan wants to ride!

Duncan in his updated cart

The floor of Duncan’s cart was getting worn out; it was only a matter of time before he would fall through. The cart was modified in 2011 as seen here using the fiber board remnant from the back of an old TV cabinet. Actually I’m surprised it lasted this long. I found a nice piece of 1/4 inch plywood in the garage that did the trick and there was more of the cloth to make the cover. Duncan is happy he can ride this Summer.

Duncan in a Bunny Costume

No, not really…

Agro Bunny from the CSU Agronomy Club, or perhaps one of the member’s pets

The purpose of the CSU Agronomy Club is to gather together students with similar interests for their common benefit and advancement. The Agronomy Club provides a chance for students to take an active part in their department through fundraising projects, social events, and scholastic activities.

The corgi is with us on the road…

Duncan Madog

Duncan travels well and seems to like car rides. He sits quietly for hours in the back of the car and patiently waits to get out to pee at a rest stop on the way to Chicago: Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois! His food consists of a mixture of dry dog food, frozen green beans and pumpkin. The name Duncan is from the Highlander series ‘Duncan Mcleod’ and Madog is from the name Madog ab Owain Gwynedd, a Welsh prince who sailed to the American continent in 1170. A Welsh woman I once met said that Madog is pronounced “Madock”.

Duncan with friends

Friday, June 27th, 2014

Here Duncan finds time to spend with other corgis:

At one of the dog parks

Duncan found two friends and had a great time playing around. Duncan does well with other corgis, but he would still prefer dogs with longer legs.

At one of the ‘Bike 2 Work days’ breakfast stops

Duncan poses with SMOKEY the bear.  Not a real bear in this case but there was a report that a real live bear was seen out near the Poudre River and Taft Hill Road on the same day perhaps guided in by the smell of cooked bacon.
