Confirmed, it's hot and medium/high humid.

Going riding, might pack an extra beer, idk. :confused:

Grilled jerk chicken thighs with coconut/cilantro/lime ride for dinner.

And just for fun, going to stuff some jalepenos with cheese, wrap them in bacon and grill them too.

Can confirm, is delicious. I'd recommend a soft cheese. Pro tip: figure out a way to cook them upright. Grease drips off so the bacon gets crispy, and the cheese doesn't spill. I've used skewers before.

Hello all. Drive by party for my niece in Stoney-ville, then MIL arrives (via car journey, tested Covid negative prior to leaving) this afternoon.

I use cream cheese. Wrap enough bacon around them and it seals it all in. Wet toothpicks seem to do the trick, usually.

Riding the baggage carousel.
:wave:

Rode yesterday. Mechanical issues. Broken spoke, Formula brake lever pin is attempting to migrate its way out, still got 31 miles. Leaf with rack and bike installed saw no appreciable drop in efficiency, so that was nice. Wife made killer dinner. Ate too much, probably drank too much. Night terrors followed, I am now super le tired. Dishwasher is throwing an error code. :rolleyes: I shall attempt to fix said dishwasher, and/or take a nap.

Here. Got A/V mostly setup this morning so far. Some issues with one zone, but correctable. List for this weekend isn't too long, but long enough that I'll be busy all weekend.

Workbench and saw are gone, so I'll be building my own and going the route of track saw and parallels per @AngryMetalsmith and @Adventurous

If you are building your own workbench, incorporating a section of MFT (multi-function table) would be super handy, especially for the stuff that it sounds like you are doing.

Festool makes a pre-built version, but there are plenty of templates you can DIY with a piece of MDF.

Rode some MTB with splat, wife, and others. Pics on teh stravas.
Anyway, this was an interesting ride. It's basically a bunch of flowy downhill trails, then you climb back up. Go down, pedal up, go down, pedal up. I got about 900' of climbing in 7 miles. with one flat in a gnarly rock garden. Also, the trails are literally built in the backyard of a brewery. Park at the brewery for the trails. It'd be awesome for post-ride replenishment if you're into that sort of thing.

So my youngest daughter just turned 18, right? Can't have much of a party right now but her good friend stayed over. I'm cooking and she comes into reice their bong or whatever and I say "So, are you 18 yet?" She looks at me like a fucking deer in the headlights, gives me a thumbs up, then runs out of the kitchen. I'm like "What's her problem?" A full five minutes later, I realized why.

apparently one of our dogs scared the shit outta the dog sitter last night. while she was watching a horror movie he went into the 10yo's room, grabbed a possum skull from his shelf, and came and dropped it at her feet. lolol

Holy shit it's hot out. Even the cows are saying fuck this and laying down.

Took it super slow on the ride, drank lots of water and had some beer. Great ride. Now to go rehydrate my skin in the shower. Or maybe I should just lay under the sprinkler.....if only the beaches were open.




This is also the forest that had the MASSIVE tent Caterpillar infestation a few weeks ago. Well they've now turned into moths and are everywhere. Have never had so many winged objects fly into my helmet. After the first ten I just said fuck it and didnt both removing them.

I think I did that on a 1.5 mile out and back 3 mile ride earlier this week :D

Wife and I did 45 miles, 6500ft of vert up in the mountains proper. Crossed 2 different mountain passes.

1/2lb bison burgers going on the grill momentarily for both of us.
