agile_one Posted September 7, 2013 Report Posted September 7, 2013 Nice, Mike & John. Now fire up the barbie for rattler appetizer and gator main.Hmmmm, which wine? Quote
jp11801 Posted September 8, 2013 Report Posted September 8, 2013 it was a great hike and really epic in that we were way off trail and deep into the part. The water parts were cool but reeked havoc on my knees and feet. That rattler was not amused with our group at all Quote
Aimless1 Posted September 8, 2013 Report Posted September 8, 2013 Just returned from taking my 6 yr old grand son to a county fair. Animals, rides, corndogs, rides ... well, you get the idea. Great fun. Quote
Voltron Posted September 8, 2013 Report Posted September 8, 2013 Sounds more fun than slogging through the swamp, Al! Did you have any fried dough? Quote
grawk Posted September 8, 2013 Report Posted September 8, 2013 corn dogs: fried dough, filled with cock Quote
raffy Posted September 8, 2013 Report Posted September 8, 2013 (edited) What she said! Eww!Triple eww. Did you have to get up at 6am to slog through the swamp? If so quadruple eww. Edited September 8, 2013 by raffy Quote

jp11801 Posted September 8, 2013 Report Posted September 8, 2013 What a bunch of little girls. On a tamer note watched the sun rise while drinking coffee on the beach followed by a short swim... Mike if you are up for it maybe 9 miles at JD next weekend early am isn Quote
jp11801 Posted September 8, 2013 Report Posted September 8, 2013 (edited) yup 9.5 miles saturday with the intent of feet on trail at 8am Edited September 8, 2013 by jp11801 Quote
ironbut Posted September 8, 2013 Report Posted September 8, 2013 Cool pictures guys. I don't know about gators, but snakes don't go out of their way to attack humans like movies would lead you to believe. When I was a kid in Georgia, I used to run around in a patch of zudzu vines sometimes. One year, my dad caught a bunch of Copperheads in that patch to sell to some lab. He filled a 55 gal drum about 1/4 of the way in just a couple of days! In my kid-bliss, I'd never even seen one there. 1 Quote
shellylh Posted September 9, 2013 Report Posted September 9, 2013 Congrat! I know I would be really unhappy if I couldn't get my favorite (Frantoia). Quote
Salt Peanuts Posted September 9, 2013 Report Posted September 9, 2013 I've been meaning to try that olive oil ever since you mentioned it a while back, Reks, but have had no luck thus far. I'll remember to look at Kosher and organic sections next time - never thought to do that. Quote
shellylh Posted September 9, 2013 Report Posted September 9, 2013 I've had Frantoia, and it's very good, but I think Halutza is on another level, if you can find it. Desert climates really ratchet up flavor density in fruit, and while much of Italy is semi-arid, it doesn't quite do what the desert in Israel does. Of course, ratcheting up the flavor density in fruit isn't always a good thing (I've had a few really weird wines from Israel and Lebanon, though also a few rather nice ones), it works nicely for olives. I'll look for it. Quote
Aimless1 Posted September 9, 2013 Report Posted September 9, 2013 Started the morning with no power. Received 4.9 inches of rain between 5:00 a.m - 8:00 a.m. at home and 5.63 inches at the office. Many new streams and small lakes across local road ways on the way into work this morning. Crazy detours to get to the office. Between the April flooding and this storm, it has been a very wet year.

For those interested, you can buy their organic version at Amazon. It's just a bit pricey. Or you can buy the non-organic version at Zabar's for a more reasonable price. Quote
shellylh Posted September 9, 2013 Report Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) For those interested, you can buy their organic version at Amazon. It's just a bit pricey. Sorry, for $120 I expect free shipping. Also, I would be a little worried buying olive oil from a place called "cosmetic solutions." Edited September 9, 2013 by shellylh Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted September 9, 2013 Report Posted September 9, 2013 I like how they put the price per ounce in a paranthetical aside, just in case you thought it was a typo. ("No, we meant to do that.") Cosmetic Solutions == money laundering front? Quote
Dreadhead Posted September 9, 2013 Report Posted September 9, 2013 Tried to sell something on Craigslist. Fucking scammers. Quote
Augsburger Posted September 9, 2013 Report Posted September 9, 2013 Cosmetic Solutions == money laundering front? That certainly is one way to do it. Chris, I hope the attempted scam was not successful. Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted September 9, 2013 Report Posted September 9, 2013 Chris, I hope the attempted scam was not successful. Aye, since you posted same day, here's to hoping you picked up on it before rather than after. Quote
Nebby Posted September 9, 2013 Report Posted September 9, 2013 Went scouting around the local bike stores on DA9000 pricing. One of them "looked up" their pricing and gave me....MSRP. Quote
Dreadhead Posted September 9, 2013 Report Posted September 9, 2013 Aye, since you posted same day, here's to hoping you picked up on it before rather than after. It is so. I reported it soon after he started talking about a third party doing pickup and paying with certified check... Quote
