Fun, food, and family
No, I'm not a Knoebels Amusement Resort* ad :P But, I am a happy bouncy biker chick :D Today was excellent. It started by me finally giving Bluebird a much needed bath. He's shiny again :) I would have replaced the damaged fairing too, but I ran out of time. We got on the road about 12:30pm to my cousin's daughter's birthday party. The weather was ( Read more... ) -
I think we missed something...
What started as a semi-incoherent rant about "cinderella having a 5% chance of turning into a princess after putting the slipper on" (i.e. spell casting percentages), became the following (culled from the NWN2 message boards ( Read more... ) -
My driveway hates me
Yes, my driveway hates me. Either that or Bluebird doesn't like going home. I pulled the same trick darph_bobo did a month or so ago and dumped the bike in the road. No real damage to me; my brain was actually working at the time surprisingly. Basically I felt the bike start to go and took a step away from it as it fell. This resulted in me not getting stuck ( Read more... ) -
Weekend stuff
It was a busy, busy weekend here. Friday we took off and I did some heavy gear shopping. Didn't buy anything but found a pair of boots I liked, but they weren't my size. The local dealer wouldn't order them, so I jotted down the website and figured I'd order them myself later ( Read more... ) -
Rain is....wet....
I think accuweather.com needs some better forecasters. It was not 80 and mostly sunny today ( Read more... ) -
It's nice to be appreciated
I received a most curious call this afternoon. It was from Land's End *thanking* me for my business. Now I didn't order all that much (a few shirts and two pair of jeans) and this was the first time I'd ordered with them. I've ordered online from a few different companies over the years but I have never received any kind of thank you like that ( Read more... ) -
Dirt, gravel and deer...oh my!
It was an...interesting ride to work this morning. It's a nice day, so I take Bluebird instead of the GTP. About 10 miles into my commute, I'm headed downhill (approaching the Lenox exit on PA106 for you locals) in a blind right hand turn. I come around the bend and find gravel across the whole lane. Gravel in a turn on a bike is a Bad Thing (TM). ( Read more... ) -
Who thinks up these 'meme' things anyways?
Guess it's my turn to answer one of these ( Read more... ) -
Tonight's Menu
I made another "experimental" dish for dinner - Greek-style Pasta Skillet. It's a fairly simple dish, takes about 1/2 hr to make. The interesting ingredient was cinnamon. Now, I've cooked with cinnamon before, but never in a dinner dish. It complimented the feta cheese rather well I thought. I don't know if the cinnamon is typical of Greek food but ( Read more... )
