Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I hope you visit in the cooler months(November-January), so we can go out for a ride. I'll introduce you to some real jackasses.

The pretzel ones are worthy of your consideration.

I'm not anti-hazelnut. I have an occasional Ferrero Rocher. But, yeah, don't put that stuff in my coffee.

Coffee-flavored coffee only.

That run was sagging really bad in one spot, so I jacked it up then screwed some 1/2' plywood on, then some 1/4" wallboard is gonna go on top of that. Hopefully that plywood sheathing holds that wall together.

Just picked up a second sheet of plywood and the drywall today. The sagging spot was by that first big knot, it was hanging down about an inch.

True coffee has 2 ingredients, everything else is a coffee flavored beverage.
Water, barley, yeast, and hops make beer, everything else is a malted beverage.

Coming to the end of June already. I'm planning on accompanying my wife to Belize this time (she goes once or twice a year). I haven't been for ten years. All those little kids will be grown up, while I have remained the same. We plan to leave the first week in July. It is unlikely that I will take a bike, but one never knows. Theft is a normal activity in those parts. Not even looked down upon. Better to not tempt fate.

No

The restaurant had some Jackson Browne songs on their playlist, and Bill was unfamiliar with his music.

Still no luck on the nut paste M&Ms - they didn't have them at my LGS, either. Peanut, Plain, obviously, and Caramel seems to be a local fav, for some reason.

We used to live in Toledo, so we're going there. Punta Gorda, Jacintoville, San Pedro Columbia, and a visit or two further back in the bush. We have friends on the Northern Highway, outside of Belmopan. My wife represents a NGO, and has to go hand out scholarship money. We have a friend who stayed with us in Merida, while she was having cancer treatments over the years. We will be traveling by car this time, a first, and a precondition of me going at all. I have ridden thousands of miles on chicken buses and am ready for a break. Belize has THE BEST beer in all of Central America. Belikin Stout (it is better than any beer I've come across here too). Maybe we can bring a case back with us.
