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

@Makel. If you want to do something good, dehydrate some hot peppers and then immediately afterward do your pineapple. It is crack.

Why don't you just dehydrate the pineapples with the hot peppers?

I went back to pages 120-1.

I thought the most noteworthy post was Velovol boasting about the beauty of his instrument.

I spilled about one scoop of coffee grounds on the floor, Chloe got to them before I did (I had eggs on the stove). She is acting funny now. I doubt she's learned her lesson.

Pearl has never learned her lesson. I spilled some fresh ground Mrs-LAJ pepper mix on the floor and she licked it up. She whined for 2 hours. Just this past friday I was brewing a Stout and spilled some grain on the floor. She licked that up as well.

What kind of funny? Too much caffeine can cause serious medical problems for dogs- including heart arrhythmias. I'm not sure how much caffeine is in coffee grounds but that kind of thing is usually easy for a vet to find out by calling poison control. However if heart rate is normal, I wouldn't necessarily bother, the arrhythmias would be associated with an increased heart rate.
