Frozen-Thawed-Baked-Washed,and Refrozen?
400 Mile Loop, 4 wx changes-
Woke up at 7am to 41 mountain degrees, that's February weather in Florida, so we froze all the way down the mountain. Leathers didn't come off until we were nearly into Mexican Hat, Utah. Scorching heat in the mid to upper 90's in Monument Valley. On the way back up into the San Juan mountains, we hit the mutha of all thunderstorms, and the temp dropped almost 40 degrees. If it's okay to freeze meat, then thaw it, then bake it, wash it, and re freeze, guess we'll be okay..
Friend of the show competing in "MC Cannonball Run"
Dale Axlerod, friend to "Butch", and "Scary", competing in that big coast-to-coast mc cannonball. Big deal, you say, we do this all of the time, ala Hoka Hey, right? Wrong! This one is for pre-1915 motorcycles only! How cool is that? All the best to the competitors. Don't store 'em, don't scrap 'em, RIDE 'EM! (Dale currently owns an '07 Curtis, and a pair of 1928 HD's.
"Shroom" Festival rules in Telluride!
A wet year up here in southern Colorado. The forest is ablaze with all sorts of mushrooms. One dude brought back a bushel basket sized puff ball. I recognized a couple varieties of mushies from the old days when I'd go out and pick some with my dad. Toss some sliced onion in a pan with 'em, and fry up a dinner fit for a king. The town of Telluride, Co, is going "shroom" crazy this week, with their annual festival. We might have to camp overnight if we go.. ya know..?
Are you crazy RE prices?
Picture an old two story farm house, ala upstate New York, Iowa, or any rural community, worth maybe 100 grand, including a small lot. Now see the same property for sale in Telluride, Colorado..are you ready? $1.8 million, and there isn't five feet of property on any side of it. $14 million buys you a private swimming hole on the Animas river, both sides. This river continues to amaze me. The portion which flows directly through Durango rivals the streams in Glacier Natl' Park.
Trout Poisoning?
We have to eat the half dozen on ice before going out for more. They're big and fat this year. Been playing catch and release with all that aren't in the 13 to 15 inch range. Those will just fit in the big old fry pan. The river we fish had a total wash out from a freaky-large snow melt last spring. The thaw came all at once, and seems to have washed out all the larger brown trout, leaving the rainbows to grow big and fat. We'll roast those six over an open fire of mesquite tonight.. should be pretty tasty!
