Booked hotel based on its bar. Crossing fingers.

Seems perfectly reasonable.

Have fun Ric!

Glad it worked out. I can not do a track stand.

My recent bike fall related injuries are just about healed.

This picture doesn't provide the full effect of Santa in the off months wearing hot pants lederhosen, a tube top dropped down below the nipples, and a weight lifting hernia belt, but that is how he looked six hours earlier when he walked into the shop we were in. He did adjust his tube top up a bit to chat with the shop keeper, but otherwise he was quite the same vision. Rockin' good times in Munchen!

That pic is awesome!

Nice recovery Chris. Riding in Munich today was a times challenging but no dramatic incidents like that one, thankfully. We didn't rent helmets and it made me nervous about the kids at times.

Seems perfectly reasonable.

Now that we've arrived, it gets even better - just been instructed it's self-serve.

WAT? That could be dangerous!

Nice, Ric. Have a wonderful weekend.

Even better!!! Yes, moar moar better.

Woke up tired and sore today after moving 10 ton of pea gravel around yesterday. Campground owner used the front end loader to bring the loads and roughly spread them out. I got to use rake and shovel to finish the job. The new area behind the trailer looks really nice now.

Finally got my car back this morning after not having it for two months.

Same Saturday routine-

caught snake,

Cheaper than a dog or cat

took daughter to practice for her driving test.....

Ding, we have a winnah!!!!

Indeed it is and a youngun too. Gene snakes seem to like old French Burgundy because the really old Burgundies taste like mouse.

1) feed snake some French Burgundy

2) wait until it gets drunk

3) ? ? ? ?

4) grilled snake marinated with French Burgundy for dinner

At the free outdoor concert at Grant Park (you all remember the big silver bean?) having a picnic with the family. Weather is perfect.

Program: Marquez: Leyenda de Miliano Rodrigo: Concierto de Aranjuez Dvořák: Symphony No. 7

Food and wine:

Cueva de las Mannos Malbec, Manchego and Stilton cheese, pickled okra, garlic stuffed olives, chips and mango key lime salsa, genoa salami, chocolate dipped strawberries, French baguette.

Best part ... Kids are behaving. So far. Great, considering our sitter fell through!

Life is good.

Nice snake!

Me (and son): went to a nearby town and got our pic with the Stanley Cup. I got kinda jingly when I got near it

How much beer can that thing hold?

Todd ... That is effing amazing that you got to actually get up close and personal with the cup. I think that is one thing that makes hockey more of a "peoples sport" than the other pro money grabbing affairs.

Oh, was that your dad in the pic?

That's a great moment, Todd! Congrat again on the big win. We got to take a pic with the World Series trophy but we could not touch it.

Tour of gold mine. With gold prices soaring they've got a plan in place to reopen. We'll see.

Very Indy.

Reported a little problem to the water company today. Seems there was a break in their "main" right at the junction where it goes into the meter box for my house. Thankfully, it was on the road side of the meter box, or it would have been my responsibility. They must have lost thousands of gallons of water. The way it was bubbling up reminded me of the opening sequence of the Beverly Hillbillies, only it was water and not crude.
