What bugs me is the not-so-good coffee shops offering latte, cappuccino etc., when all they do is press a button on a machine that produces variations on the same thin, tasteless milky drink with soapy bubbles on top.

I prefer simple, filter coffee, but so many of the shops here now don't have it... you have to get an "Americano" instead.

How much cycling to offset a few of these puppies?

"Surely that's a joke", I thought, and then I found this recipe for Banana Baked Donuts With Maple Glaze And Bacon Topping.

My favourite part of the recipe is the glaze:

Strain bacon fat into clean bowl - you should have 1-2 tablespoons. Mix with ½ cup maple syrup. Add 1 ½ cups powdered sugar. Stir to combine and set aside.

This is what makes America great. You simply can't ride off those calories in one lifetime...

Just like my bacon, egg, and cheese donut breakfast sandwich.

I haven't had a beer in 30 years; I've hiked maybe 5.000 miles in that time, carrying a 65lb. backpack and I wouldn't even want to estimate how many rods I've portraged with a canoe yoked.

How many beers can I drink?

As many as you want.

But pace yourself. After 30 years you've got some catching up to do.

And hangovers suck.

Reminded me of a roll cage in a Mazda.

Oh - I must remind you of Rule #24. See Velominati ? The Rules

I'm liking rule #5.

Elk in this area are big. Usually as big as, or larger than a draft horse.

Even this cow is huge. I would guess around 14 to 16 hands.

I'm laughing, but I'm no stranger to donuts myself!

He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first donut...
