And today we taught the kids about death

Well this is a fucking setback.

Chip was a bit lethargic, some sugar water and cuddles and she cheered right up!

We’ve built a little chirp play ground.

And my three year old daughter has named them:
Anna
Elsa
Hilda
And Chip

The Chesters will look pretty swell with the paint job, not matchey-matchey but complimentary.

Perhaps I should just buy her a honey B17s?

Spec Chisel Ltd in Earth.
So far the build is going to be partially a parts bin build and a bunch of new bits

*Spec Traverse Fattie 650b wheels
*Simworks Super Yummy 27.5x2.22 tyres
*RaceFace and Whiskey cockpit
*B17s off her Soma
*XO shifter
*GX derailleur off my Chameleon
*XT cranks off my Yo Eddy
*RaceFace Chester pedals and grips
*older XT disc calipers that I need to source levers for

So after we found out that were we’re gonna have another baby (youngest of 4 for me) my wife decided she wanted to sell her “actual” mountain bike, but keep her 90s Indy Fabulous for tooting about with the family. Then right before we moved to the country side with 10 acres my wife decided she wanted to sell her Indy Fabulous and just keep her Soma rando bike.

And now she’s been grumbling that she should have kept her mountain bike, or perhaps she should sell the Soma and get a new mountain bike...

So her birthday is April 1rst and she has this surprise coming:

A place to document my family’s collection of mountain bike projects.

Depends what I’m doing with the rice.

The only routine use of 0 in ammo is thirty aught six 🙂

Lots of Americans refer to it as thirty odd six.

Put rice in pan add salt pour in enough water turn heat on high. Turn off when water is gone.

You should add salt after the water has reached a simmer. According to Alton doing so before can cause your pot to pock.

At this point they’re of the friend variety. Have some polish chicks coming in about a week. We will get some eggs in the fall, probably enough for our own use.

So it begins

Ahh thought you were looking for a way to do it

Ah nice one thank you! Not sure on size of tube, just an idea at the moment to convert a frame to 650b for a laugh...

cheers again,
Matt

Ignore this

Loads seem to add a specific soup or something .

This is due to a lot of “family” recipes being originally found on the side of boxes. Some of the poorer regions are famous for having random ingredients as substitutions, Sprite cake being a favorite. Basically the soda adds a leveling agent and liquid so you can leave out eggs when making boxed cake.

Fair enough, I’ve just seen on LFGSS many times folks acting like every thing in The US is prepackaged. It seems like the same amount between the two countries tbf.

My Irish MIL complained about how all the pastries in the US have too much sugar, yet the only place she would get breakfast when she was visiting was the Jewish bakery.

As a Canadian I was wondering that too, I've only ever heard "of" in reference to time when I'm in UK and Europe.

Also @bright

Well we do say “of” as in “quarter of twelve” as in 11:45. At least in New England, but the US is pretty big with lots of different regional ways of saying things.

I think I'd find living there depressing.
Mind you, when the fresh fruit & veg cease to appear on our supermarket shelves.......

Well, British cooking and its lack of fresh ingredients is the butt of many American jokes.

We stopped selling the cut out cambiums as they got returned at an exceptionally high rate. It was always complaints about how bouncy they were.

Wife’s birthday present, shhhh she doesn’t know!

Motivational shots of my second turbo brick (RIP).

This is gonna get weird, I’m gonna make it weird...

Here ya go.
