I thought of that after I posted it. At least I didn't say anything about the hand-pulled Hop Devil and Storm King, nor the fantastic Monday night taco special they run.

Having not had it, I can't really argue. But, Victory Brewing's "Hopped Up Devil" ice cream is really, really, good. Vanila base with chocolate covered coffee beans, cinnamon, and a fair bit of cayenne. I've never had a spicy ice cream before, but I certainly will again. Mmmmm.

I'm not sure how 'cafe' I'm going to go. A motorcycle is primarily a form of transportation for me, so having it be functional is important. Plus, my kinda-girlfriend is going to learn on it, so I don't want to throw some crazy ergos on it and discourage her. Maybe it'll be a two phase build, something a little more standard to start and then down the road the full monte.

82 Silverwing Interstate. It's going to be a project that'll end up something like this, although likely not nearly as pretty::

I have a two-fer: spend the weekend with the girl I'm dating, and for the first time in 7.5 years I get to utter the phrase: "I can't believe I just bought a motorcycle."

My girl is visiting. nice to have someone around the house.

Yeah, I think they were the same physical size as a long play record. Just a little too early on the technology curve since they didn't have a good data density. I think Video CDs were worse though, 45 minutes of medium quality (as in looked only OK on a SDTV) video per disc.

I'm not sure LaserDisc really fits, it was more ahead of it's time than an alternative to DVD. HD-DVD and Bluray is probably more apt.

Now you're just teasing the poor guy.

Hmmm............. I don't always drink coffee, but when I do I use a French Press. Stay thirsty my friends. Yeah, the press is kinda tough to clean up, but it was <$15 at IKEA. For cleaning up, this seems to work best: take a paper towel, put it in the sink. Add a little water to the spent grounds, swirl it around, and dump them into the paper towel.

I'm not sure why people worry about lines for this team, you know Lindy has one of those toy slot machines behind the bench with pictures of LW, C, and RW on dials.

You have an odd way of saying you like trades, then. You give the impression that you're really upset about it.

I propose that we never adopt the 'CoHo' moniker I saw on posted link, that's stupid. Maybe CoHo gets subbed to Hodgenstein like Pominville.

Yesterday, baked pesto salmon and chipotle mashed sweet potatoes for lunch. Tonight panko crusted salmon and something for a side.

I eat Necco wafers by choice, so you'll get no judgement from me.

Victory Yakima Glory, watching hockey. Mmmmm.

Towards the end they're talking to her and she claims they are. They don't *act* fake from what I can tell, but who knows.

Oh come on, Steven could be an extra or something.

Unless they're Bruins prospects. https://signup.netfl...=1&rdirfdc=true Not showing up on my streaming account yet, but it's not quite Friday yet either. There's hope.

I just realized Monday is a work-from-home day and the trade deadline, but since I don't have cable I can't just throw on NHL Network and monitor everything. :censored:

This is going to sound like snobbery, but what is good is rarely popular and what is popular is rarely good. Try different things than the people around you; sometimes it'll go well, sometimes it won't, but at least you'll get to know what you like. This goes for many more things than alcohol. Rusty nail. Great cocktail. Also, if you're in a decent bar (which may be a non-intersecting set with college bars), ask the bartender for a recommendation. Sometimes you'll get something amazing.

It was either motorcycle, bicycle, or volleyball. I guess I should have said it wasn't wedding tackle related activity. But that's another complaint altogether. :)

Once you get past entry-level PC support, it's a pretty good gig. Depending on your environment, the off-hours work can suck but probably a lot better than the hours for your current job. The only problem I run into are people working in IT that seem to hate doing IT work. Similar to Engineering, you tend to get a lot of people that see it as a lucrative career regardless of whether they're good at it or like doing it (not saying this is you AT ALL, just making a general observation). I wonder if doctors and lawyers experience the same thing? Complaint: tweaked something in the 'wedding tackle' yesterday, and I'm really uncomfortable today. I wasn't doing anything fun, even.

Speaking of which, I read an excerpt of Papillon in HS and finally read the book a couple years ago. Great action/adventure book. In theory it's autobiographical, although some dispute that Charriere borrowed some of the events from other prisoners. http://www.amazon.com/Papillon-P-S-Henri-Charriere/dp/0061120669/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1329941112&sr=8-2

Maybe you should try some historical fiction or alternative history. The first is fictional characters placed in fairly well researched historical situations, the second taking a single pivotal event in history and having it go the other way. Or just stick with non-fiction, there's no reason to force yourself to read something you're not really interested in.
