Bacon-infused Bourbon
I promised elsewhere that I would post the results of my experiment, which was, overall, mildly successful ( Read more... ) -
Now that's just _mean_.
She's got to be teasing me, really. The bike always chooses places to die that maximize potential embarrassment, yet let me get away eventually without calling for assitance.
I've decided that I can't desecrate my memory of Lana by naming this vehicle after her. Nothing is permanent until the paint is dry, but for now, I re-christen the bike Tory ( Read more... ) -

Checking the back, someone had managed to smash the plastic cover on the passenger-side rear turn signal without touching the rest of the housing. Upon further testing, the clever vandal managed to not damage the ( Read more... ) -
Espresso
I'd nearly lost track of how big a difference real espresso makes when doing "interesting" things with coffee. Geoff, thank you again for Mr Krups. I sense a new creative outlet coming on.
