So the world lost Jeff Beck. He was feisty and difficult at times but really deserved his status as one of the best guitarists of the classic rock era.

That sounds great!! Do you give some away? I can’t imagine keeping that much sausage around even if I froze a few pounds. Enjoy! What is your spice blend?

yes, some is for others and there is no freezing.....its a dry cure then vacuum bag.....still have 4 links left from last years batch ... i got this down to a science

spice is basically salt, pepper, paprika, raw garlic and a bit of curry.... the real flavour comes from the apple and cherry wood (i use mostly apple)

That is a great hobby. I am not that dedicated but I like smoking a brisket or wings for the boys

Tried my hand at bagels the other day. They came out pretty good, but I forgot to take post bake pictures

havent done bagels in years...might have to revisit making them as i have a container of "everything bagel" spice mix my brother gave me

 

[Saugus]

Bagels are one of those things I'd like to try and make, but never am able to find the time.

 

[njdevils1982]

holy wow.

 

[My3Sons]

holy wow.

it looks like some of that footage was from an infamous birthday party he threw. He was one of a kind to be sure. I regret not seeing them while he was alive.

 

[Capt Nico Poo]

Flying back to NYC tomorrow from San Fran. West coast was fun but dont think these big cities are great tourist cities. Guess you'd understand their greatness if you stayed here for a bit longer.

Bought a SF Giants hat today for the lols.

@My3Sons I have a Jamis Hijack A1, I'm not sure if it's a hardtail but I do put it to good use, rode Hartshorne and Huber Woods today (11 miles).

I'm guessing you live in either Florida are out in the midwest, both places I would be miserable when it comes to MTB, I need hills and rocks and such.

Never rode out west but I disperse camp out there every summer, will be in Olympic Peninsula this July for almost two weeks, but yeah, every time I'm out there I wish I had my bike.

Figured I'd move this in here, the other thread is already OT'd lol.

I'm actually in Louisiana right now. With the youngest headed off to college next year we will how much longer that lasts. I can find plenty of rocks down here and there is a very well manicured bike trail center about 30 miles north of me which has some nice man made obstacles and jumps and features maybe 50-60 total miles of trails but it's just not elevated that much. Still, it's better than nothing. Most days I just ride around on the golf course in my neighborhood and bump around over the oak roots and such. I'm old and need to exercise and cannot seem to handle a treadmill or an indoor bike. The feel of the outdoor air moving is important to me somehow and a road bike seems dangerous to me. I've go the advantage over a golf cart moving at the same speed as me compared to the cars on the road.

Edit: Your bike is a hardtail since it only has a shock in the front.

I would think there more hills in Louisiana. Interesting.

For me it's the best workout, go hard for a couple hours and you do a whole body workout, especially the core.

You can't get that from riding on the roads.

There are some hills further north but that's at least an hour to an hour and a half ride away. That's more time than I'll typically have to devote to it. I can ride to the local trails in 30 minutes, ride for as long as my old self can take it and then get home in 30 minutes to shower and collapse.
