Reunion

January 31, 2020 Culinary Facts Travelling No Comments
After another fun time dialoguing with my temporary neighbor, obviously over pancakes, I headed out and thankfully there were no opposing traffic vehicles on the rather narrow road which winds its way along the mountain. Yeah funny the number of similarities. For instance, we are both en route to a…

A Tour Guide!

I left wherever I slept last night late. Certainly too late to arrive in Yuma AZ by one. Or two. Maybe I arrived about two. The serendipitous thing is I’ve been semi on the lookout for when the correct alignment of geography, fatigue level, sense of urgency and daylight occurs…

What Does 665 Miles Get?

January 15, 2020 Culinary Facts The Bus Travelling
Met a guy filling up a rental RV returning to Dallas from Yosemite. That thing was fine in the winter; water, sewer, etc all ok. I can see the attraction: it’s the same sort of thing as using gas or electric heat vs. a wood stove; it’s just easier. Lots…

It’s Cold

Team, it is teens in the day and has been in the negatives at night. 5.10s plus gore tex socks plus regular old socks are plenty though. It’s my fingers whose cold can be surprisingly intense. I don’t have the right things for legs either. Thank goodness there’s so much…

Uphill In The Snow

November 27, 2019 Culinary Facts Mountain Biking No Comments
We’ve been walking more these days with the trails pretty much covered and the roads either muddy and gross or scary icy. The boughs really droop when loaded with snow, making for a game of duck under with seriously shivery consequences. Trails made by others, two legged or otherwise, become…

Scobi Is In The House

Over the last couple of weeks we grew a scobi, the collection of organisms that’ll turn sugar, tea and fruits into the delicious beverage we call kombucha. We’re following Dave’s recipe. Same Dave who makes succulent dishes from all kinds of uber powerful peppers. As of now, the tea is…

The spare tire could sinch way up high if the muffler was moved. It sits just behind and parallel to the rear axle. It could go same orientation and as far to the rear or in the space between the port rear tires and bumper. No muffler shops open today;…

Loose Ends

Post pancake plus coffee breakfast in the Home Depot parking lot, I got a haircut which included the always not relaxing getting the backside shaved with a blade, the remaining pieces for the battery shelf securing project and drove out to rendezvous with Tim for getting some odds and ends…

The Best Meal Ever

I rode an out and back taste of the Walnut Canyon section of the AZT (https://www.trailforks.com/trails/azt-walnut-canyon/). That’s starting at the Walnut Canyon parking lot and going pretty much NE, turning around at the freeway. Beautiful area and fun ride and nearly always above 6500′ without trying. Being real, it was…
