Bedrock & Paradox

And I’m tired. So, by the numbers: FridayDouble back numerous times to get things I forgot. Camped at the KMC site. SaturdayWoke up eeaarly. It was damn cold. Visited The Mean Bean, and said hello to (ex)owner Joe for perhaps the last time. They’re moving to Boise. Hope the coffee stays good. Met Steve and…

Before I head out. Thumb Butte loop. Singletrack and road, Whiskey descent, with a bonus at the end. 2k of climbing in 90 minutes. Yeha! Edit: Something to look forward too later this year! Or not. Just six days left.

Got out for just a ride this beautiful afternoon. Businesslike on the singlespeed, plenty of fun moments running at rocks, plenty of moments leaning on the TT checking out the scene. Thought I saw some Enel tracks along the wash: Exi/Nevegal combo taking “unique” lines amongst and over certain boulders. Granite Mountain is a cool…

And now, I look to the future. An occasional curse on free moments and dull tasks at work. Spring is here! Time to get out! (pics for Ed and his short attention span) M leaves early tomorrow for Trans Iowa. A huge adventure. I’ve been a nag all too often in the past months; always…

Stan the man is back, with a follow up to last week’s article on “French theory.” Some notes: -His point that Derridean recurisve writing (of which he gives a good summary) is in some ways comparable to (for instance) St. Augustine is very interesting. My Augustine is more than a bit dusty, but the idea…

Slice onions, press garlic, sautee with evoo and a bit of sugar. Soak hens in sea salt brine. Mix onions with ricotta, wine, marinara. Prep glaze: evoo, wine, salt, pepper, oregano, etc. Drain hens. Stuff. Glaze. Bake in the clay roaster for ~100 minutes at ~380. Eat, with Scuffins TM. Chocolate-oatmeal-walnut Scuffins. The Joy of…

1: AZT 300 drama begins to close. Poor Chad, lucky Chris and Jefe. Hopefully Max has success and lets us live a little bit vicariously. Sounds like Mike’s training in the meat locker did some good, too. Chad, I told you so. You deserve a nice mountain bike as much as or more than anyone…

Too much to do this June, methinks.

So this what I know, from talking with Ed (as promised!), Marni, and getting a message from Dave (sorry, off riding): -Jefe (not Marshal!) fell asleep at the wheel, rolling and totaling the Element.-They’re both relatively fine, Jefe may have spleen issues.-They’re stuck in the Show Low hospital.-There’s some crazy shit involving a U-Haul?! Goes…
