    Random new bike thread

    Ya, dreams are nice, but it ain't happening. Also, I tend to build frame up with buying as few new parts as possible. I have not bought a full bike in a dozen or more years. Still catches my eye as it looks much better, not like my current one that looks like it was run into a wall with the...

    Angry’s Big Number Two

    914 Canuckistani Pesos for that tent and they don't even give you poles?:eek: Mountain Bikes and Technical Hiking/Camping gear for hobbies. Did you perhaps change your profession to Dentistry? :D After over a dozen years, I have to replace a couple of my tents and about had a heart attack to...

    Guerrilla Gravity, badass frame manufacturer in Colorado

    Luckily a step above that, but lets just say that there was an abundance of home-canned in my childhood. Not having much sure makes you appreciate things later on.

    $4/gas... coming this summer to a station near you...

    This year just seems steeper than usual. And yea, it is always the same. It is more expensive to produce than winter gas. Then in the fall we get exactly the same spiel. :butcher: Just like everybody is bitching about the carbon tax increase, but nobody did any math to see that the gas price...

    Guerrilla Gravity, badass frame manufacturer in Colorado

    You have not properly died as a kid if you did not have to eat stewed rhubarb. :fie: ...and yes there was stalks of raw with a bowl of sugar, and there was pie, and if the gods were smiling it had strawberries to try to hide/kill/disguise some of the taste. :twitch:

    Guerrilla Gravity, badass frame manufacturer in Colorado

    6 months of the year most of it came out of the basement after it was home canned. Later a chest freezer was added much to the relief of my tastebuds, but that just meant more work filling the damn thing come fall. And for years, mom wondered why in my house fresh veg was steamed until tender...

    Ode To The Unsung Hero: Classic US Breakfast

    I'm with you on the cold. I have a marble sheet that I also use. It, along with dry ingredients, butter and grater go in the freezer for an hour. Wet in the fridge. So nothing gets a chance to heat up, I grate the butter into the dry bowl then fold in the wet. All of this is done with the...

    Ode To The Unsung Hero: Classic US Breakfast

    Ya, it is better, used to be a mix of hard and soft, not sure if it still is. But from what I hear, still not the same. Oh, well, the fam and I happen to like the hockey pucks I make and the gravy to soften them to edibility ain't too bad either. :fie: :D

    Ode To The Unsung Hero: Classic US Breakfast

    I make them here at home. Have not had the real thing since I was a kid in Florida so no idea if what I make even resembles what it should be. All I know is I like it. Apparently, the problem with Northern biscuits is the flour. We have exclusively hard wheat, and the best biscuit flour is...

    Ode To The Unsung Hero: Classic US Breakfast

    Peameal bacon is the same loin cut as Back bacon, but they are cured differently. Back bacon or Canadian bacon is smoked, Peameal is unsmoked but pickled in a sugar / salt solution before rolling in cornmeal ( used to be spit yellow peas back in the grandparents time ) Peameal bacon is mostly...

    The last person to post a picture from their last bike ride wins access to the white courtesy phone.

    100% here in my back yard under full sun and an unseasonable 20 degrees. It is quite strange to see everything lit up in full sun and then seem to stay that way until more than three quarters occluded, and only then you had to be paying attention to the dimming. The twilight phase is a bit...
