National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day 2022 in United States

You didn't know this???

And where are my cookies, dang it?

 

Today is also National IPA Day. You have your chocolate chip cookie, I'm going to have my beer.

 

Two-fer...chocolate chip beer.

 

Local watering hole

 

Found all the worms eating my spud plant leaves, and fed them to the chickens, but the leaves were not comming back....
Finally found the other critters feasting on my plants or the worm eggs.
If it isn't deer, worms, or hoppers, I would have had a decent crop this year.

 

And now another has left us....

RIP Sandy.

She is the set up for my favorite adolescent joke. If you know, you know...

 

Big crush on her as a kid. Unrequited however...

RIP beautiful O N-J

 

Yesterday evening crowds made their into the grassy knoll aside the gravel path that leads to Launch Pad 39-B to catch what will likely be their last chance for a close-up view of the 5.75 million-pound, 322-foot-tall moon rocket. THAT IS 2875 TONS! Unfuelled. This is the big show in about 15 days or so. More thrust than your 60's technology Saturn V rocket. Launching from 39B a former shuttle pad. One of the four main engines will use a spark igniter to light the candle. This igniter first flew on STS-1 Crippen & Young in 1981. This will be its last flight. But it has been around flying into and back from space for 41 years, a record for any rocket engine part.
G*D speed Artemis I.

 

Wheeeeee!!!!

 

"NASA will land the first woman and first person of color on the Moon". Sitting up 300 feet up on a 2800 ton candle, 5-4-3-2-1 ignition. 6,600,000 lbs of trust was just lit under your butt. Poof all her color is gone.
Happy trails across the sky

 

Looks like the "Test Area" of the site has been tested.

Serious spillage there. Someone should see to it.

 

What's up folks, haven't logged in here for a while, summer, dedicating family time... limiting screen time and so on. Haven't really ridden much this summer or the past spring. Was up in Canada (the real one not the pseudo imtbtrails version) for the first half of the summer. Family camping up in Santa Margarita a few weeks ago, so have been keeping busy at least. Now it's back to the grind for another school year. IF i do ride it's Mostly clamshell from the doorstep. It used to feel like my regular workouts were there to support my mountain biking, nowadays it's more like I squeeze in a ride now and then to support the regular workouts. Just realized I haven't ridden El P in over a year... what a shame.

 

Another one bites the dust.



Downloaded a copy of my ride history for reference.

 

Methinks you're talking about the Canada I used to see from my back yard... I could almost wave to my relatives!

Glad you're back...

 

In Canada now visiting my son. Pics in the backyard of my in-laws place at Manitoulin Island!

 

Unfortunately it died several years ago…..it just didn’t know that.

 

All I see is venison sausage and butterfly steaks..

 

There was a car chase, seemed to go on for over an hour. My wife commented chase time will be much longer than the jail time. Thanks Gascone

 

Follow the deer trails, those are always fun.

 

Redlands named a top under-the-radar MTB destination! That’s your turf @Cyclotourist !

With a nice photo of Fontana!

San Timoteo. Was that so hard?

 

Fontucky?

 

Sammy Hagar's old place!

 

Alrighty. Let's see how fast they can change out the power poles and transformers on my property.

 

Well, merge my post?

 

Merged...

 

And with that, Gorby is off to the great kolkhoz in the sky.

No more glasnost. No more perestroika.
