    What does your day look like?

    It sure will! I should have put some schwalbe on... One thing I have noticed about the assgais is they get a lot of little stones, sticks, seed pods jammed on the knobs! You sound distugstipated... Today is the harvest day, sausages be ware!

    What does your day look like?

    Taking the new bike for a trail test adventure. There's going to be a bit more climbing than I like and nowhere near enough jumps. And yes, I am acutely aware of the bike being in the reserved seating area. If demand arises I will be yielding it up.

    You know you're getting old when ...

    Second Hand Bike Recommendation

    Just had a youth ride past me on the mean streets of carrington utilising one of these (the importer seeks to be around here somewhere).

    The cooking thread

    I haven't armed myself with one in a knife fight yet, but I'll keep this in mind. I have one of these for honing the edge on my knives. It works really well on the kiwi. https://www.nisbets.com.au/victorinox-diamond-steel-254mm/gd047

    The cooking thread
