Today was one of those days that you dream about

That looks epic. We're due to get snow, everyone will lose their minds, chaos will ensue for a week or so because nobody is prepared, then it'll turn into muddy slush and then be gone.

I'll just throw my winter wheels in the boot, snowchains on, pop to the garage and get them put on. The benefit of growing up in Germany where they're a little more organised.

Oh boy do those look good. I love pizza but the cheese kills me, Runny nose and flemmy for days after eating one.
I have learned that old cheese has no lactose, am experimenting this weekend with some extra old. I've been buying "lactose free" cheese but is double the cost.

It is my favorite area to play. The sun showing up was icing in the cake.

Mushy peas.... Not for me, I like em fresh outta the garden.

Amen. My Nana used to have a huge veg plot when I was growing up. Getting to eat carrots, green beans and peas fresh out the ground/off the vine after a quick wash under the garden tap was ace.

Along with rhubarb for crumbles and loads of strawberries. Happy memories.

Those pizzas look delicious.

That sledding looks like I'm gonna need to take out another loan.

Eating fresh veg out of the garden changes the way otherwise mundane food tastes. Except the rhubarb. It's good for rabbits to hide under but I've never enjoyed eating it.

I just looked at the DH bikes on here and for $1,100 to $2,000 you can get a killer deal!! I would roll towards used but that is money where the Kona is already paid for soo...

I am faster on my 2018 Enduro 29 than I am on my M9.. But when shit goes wrong, the Enduro is being ridden at its limits, the DH bike has a bigger cushion for mistakes.

For 2020, I think I am getting rid of the 2018 Enduro and the M9 and just buying a 2020 enduro and butting a boxxer on it for a park/DH bike.
