I’m heading out camping with some of the guys this weekend, so if anyone wants to come let me know. Probably somewhere close, out in the coast range. Unfortunately, I’ll be missing the Portland bridge pedal which I was totally looking forward to doing again this year.
I can’t wait!
UPDATE: Sunday, this puppy found a good home. He’ll be living with 2 other dogs, a horse, sheep and a large family of kids. It’s almost like the stories your parents told you about Rex going to live at a “farm” where he will be happy, but this is actually true.
Stats:
PK occasionally forwards me things he sees on Bringatrailer.com and today there was a link to a yellow Alfa GTV. I’m not keen on yellow (or the previous orange one) but I absolutely love how these cars look.
If I sell my bike, and have some extra cash laying around, I may consider getting something like this as a fun summer car.
On Mothers’ day I grilled up some awful tasty steaks for the fam, and like almost every other American family (Pops isn’t gonna like hearing me say that!) we like to grill things up. My folks’ yard is perfect, and they’ve got a nice, albeit huge stainless gas grill that’s worlds ahead of my pales-by-comparison Weber.
Anyway, so these steaks were AWESOME, and I just can’t stop thinking about them. They’re Angus prime grade beef tenderloins that are about 2.5″ thick an around 8oz each. I cooked them to somewhere just between medium and medium-rare, and you could cut them with a butter knife they’re so tender. Corn fed, all that jazz, but it actually makes a difference. They’re the best steak I’ve ever eaten plain. Just add a little salt and pepper while grilling, and that’s all you need. Downside: they’re expensive, even wholesale.
Now, I start thinking about eating too much red meat and all that stuff, and my other favorite food (also conveniently available from my family’s Alaska Seafood business) is Alaskan King Crab. With the pre-split ones, you barely even have to work to get the crab meat out. That and a melted bowl of butter is almost heavenly. Kind of defeats the healthy aspect to seafood though…
I quickly chatted with Chris earlier today about goals, making list and stuff like that. I’m so not a list person by nature. I see the value in them, and use them all the time, but it’s not something natural to me.
I’m also not the kind of person to set our my goals so officially. But I’m trying something new and making a list of them here, very publicly I guess.
My Goals in Life - in no particular order:
Of course, there’s lots of little goals in life, so I’m not even going to list those. This list of goals is probably going to keep evolving as I accomplish stuff on here or as my goals change, but that’s what pops into my head now.
