RIP Ivan. Thanks for making me laugh.

Yup, fucking cold. But I still got in a bike ride. The previous 22 winters have been downstairs on the trainer and I couldn't face another one.

Agreed, love that Costa Rican tarrazu. I first tasted it some twenty years and I've loved Central American coffees ever since. That acid balance...sublime!

As for the vinegar thing...as a kid, we had a hockey trip down to North Dakota to play against some 'merican teams. One of our adults, slightly inebriated, almost got into a fight at McDonalds because he wanted some "fucking vinegar for my fucking fries!" As an adult, I concur with his taste.

RIP Chuck Close. As a kid, I only saw his work in books. Then I saw one hanging at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. "Wow, now I get it."

Condolences Todd.

It's been ages since I've listened to NWW. I think I'll have to give that one a try.

Happy Birthday KG!

What cut will you be eating first? Asking for a doctor friend.

Jesus, did he leave out any adjectives?

Damn, that a fine looking omelet!

Same in Canada with Canadapost.

Maybe the 009S will now to be their TOTL can?

Sorry about your loss, Fitz.

Which chess films would you recommend?

RIP James Randi Thanks for exposing the charlatans.

If it's not too late, be sure to stop at Pisew Falls on the way back. It was my peaceful spot when I lived in YTH.

@acidbasement How did you get up there? Mom and dad worked up there in the early sixties. I was fortunate to do a half-dozen trips there when I worked for Via Rail in the nineties.

Oh wow! No, I haven't seen that. That'll be playing on the big screen as soon as wifey and doggos are out for a walk. She's definitely not a fan of this stuff. Also, thanks for mentioning some more bands. Most I've heard but not all, so I'm on a mission to check them out.

Man, it's been a long time but I still have most of his stuff on vinyl. Back in the eighties, CBC Radio had a late night program called Brave New Waves that introduced this country boy to Foetus , Nurse with Wound, Psychic TV, Current 93 and on and on. Good times, for sure.

You talking about Clint Ruin?

Condolences Jose. Hang on to those great memories!

Nice Calfee! Love that paint job. I've had my nude Tetra Pro for about a decade now and I still grin like an idiot when out riding, that's how great it feels to me. Just noticed the Speedplays. I use the T1's.

Damn. RIP Genesis

Thanks morphsci, I appreciate the recipe. Love all those chiles, and I happen to have everything but the hominy in my pantry. They might be hard to find up here, but I will prevail!
