Don't work too hard.......I have 25 mins left to go of my lunch. No carbs yet today...... :2thumbs:

[Felicia]

.....back to work.

[greyhair biker]

lunch was a turkey & swiss on wheat, followed by a hike with a couple locals to the nearest ridgeline, back in the rain & then a quick cardboard pizza with cajun spices thrown in for good measure...back to the bikeshop - customers' waiting. Now I wait patiently for my new bike to arrive :roll:

(I was a dorky kid - and it was much better than liver & onions or kidney stew.......)

Yeah, barszcz is great with beets and cabbage and kidney beans. Barszcz is also a traditional Christmas eve meal on our table just without pieces of beets, cabbage or anything else, only pure borsch. You eat it with cabbage and mushroom pierogis. Ahhh, good times.

Felicia you don't like a nice liver with onions? Heh, I remember I used to like it but not any more. Still smells nice though.

Did your bike arrive? I love it when the UPS man delivers because you know it's going to be something good. Kind of like Christmas. Speaking of, maybe I should do a little online shopping this morning. :2thumbs:

HEHE!! Oh and local update.....it's downpour rain right now so no morning bike ride. :( But today I have to work (blah) and prepare for my little road trip over to Bullhead City for the weekend.

Cheer up folks ;-) Tomorrow's friday!!!! Oh yeah, I am having beets soup for lunch again, heh. But it's good, and I don't eat it too often, so I'm not complaining.

Looking good today! Rain part of the forecast? Sundays Lady Mountain trip looks clear and sunny! Then next week the Virgin just might be offering?!

You do like those beets! Sounds good.... I broke down and got my sushi yesterday "samurai 21" and it was yummy.

NICE!!! Sounds like you've got a really fun weekend planned. Good thing rescue season is slow. I'll be doing the family thing, but I may go sneak away and say HI to Denaliguide since I'll be in his neck of the woods. I wonder of any good hikes in the Mohave Desert? HEHE!! :haha:

Send me your recipe. I'd love to try something new!

Will do. It's easy to make.

As far as sushi, I am going to try out that Go Sushi place on 3300 S while on my way to REI one of these days. I heard it's good.

Lady Mountain has soooo many flowers right now! And weird fish-flowers too. We kept smelling this terrible smell on the way up every time we came upon these flowers - but on the way down after the sun wasn't so high, they didn't have any smell at all. And the views from up there are so fantastic!

I'll be in Zion too this w/e - leaving today right after work! YAY! :mrgreen:

There's a lot of really cool stuff in the Mojave Desert: hikes, caves, lava tubes and ghost town type stuff and lots of petros & pictos. And there are some great "booming" sand dunes too, but most likely, your family is probably not living near the really good stuff. Flowers should be out in full bloom everywhere. :ahh:
Have fun everybody ~ it's gonna be a gorgeous weekend!

Any good hikes in the Mojave Desert? Not to come off as a shameless plug, but I just self-published a guidebook (Rambles & Scrambles) that covers 239 mountain hikes, scrambles & climbs in and around the Mojave Desert. A couple dozen of them are undisputable desert classics.

And the flowers are indeed in bloom!

This is an excellent book! I have a copy!

And I am not just saying that because I like to hike with Courtney. :lol8:

Thanks Tanya. Everybody has been so nice and supportive and complimentary (at least to me) in their reactions to my book. I realize that might not be the case behind my back.

While my first effort, and certainly not without errors and/or room for improvement, I'm still waiting to hear my first "this book sucks, it isn't accurate, it's gonna get somebody killed" sort of critique. Who's gonna be the first?
