Rest in Peace, Mr. Carter.

My bike before yesterday’s ride. Did a short 50 mile jaunt on some back roads. I really need to give that bike a bath.

I was wondering if Silver Carp are edible. It turns out that they are and apparently do not taste bad at all, according to some. https://www.sierraclub.org/sierra/eating-most-hated-fish-mississippi-invasive-asian-carp https://realtree.com/fishing/articles/invasive-carp-are-delicious-heres-why-you-should-be-eating-them ^^^^^ People from opposing points of view agreeing on something. Amazing! When I went to Germany for my job in 2010 I was in Erlangen. There is a fish restaurant there that has been in business since 1725, I believe. It’s called Fischkuche Nutzel. They serve White Fish and farm bred Carp. The photos led me to think the carp was white or silver carp. Anyway, when I placed my order I specifically said “I do not want carp. I will have the white fish.” The waitress frowned and said “Our carp is very good. Why do Americans not want to eat it?” ”Carp is considered a dirty fish in the U.S.” She left and returned with my order a half hour later. That was the best fish dinner I have ever had, and I have eaten a lot of fish in my lifetime. There was a piece of paper on the the tray that she brought my dinner on. I took it even though I couldn’t read it. When I got back to the states I found that paper and translated it. “gebackener Karpfen” = baked carp

Now that is a weird bike. I don’t see any place to put your feet. There are no forks. I wonder how long that front end would remain intact after a couple of trail rides or pothole impacts.

Agreed!

I started out intending to only watch a little while. I ended up watching the whole thing. I didn’t realize these carp jump in the daylight. I thought it was only after dark if the fish saw lights on a boat. I am curious why our esteemed Federal Government hasn’t taken steps to eradicate this invasive species. I have my suspicions that maybe they put them there at the behest of Greenies to stop fisherman from wanting to go out in the rivers.

Muscle Bread?

Even wronger…

So cool yet so wrong, but I love it.

This is amazing. Someone took a lot of time with this.

Screw Snopes! I won’t even look. They’re untrustworthy. No offense meant to you, Rye.

Yeah, it’s 1 year old and invisible. i have yet to see one in person.

We watched it. I can say that now, if asked. Not a kid’s movie. It was somewhat entertaining.

Or “Reservoir Dogs”

Found this today. https://www.usatoday.com/picture-gallery/news/nation/2024/12/12/nikons-comedy-wildlife-photo-contest/76944822007/ I think this is my favorite of the bunch. Southern rockhopper penguins (Eudyptes chrysocome) on Pebble Island, Falkland Islands. Can you say “Tombstone”?

My body is older than my age in regards to infrastructure, but my mind is still 25 years old…except for the absentminded part… When I was 18 or 19 years I read this quote by Hunter S. Thompson. In my 20’s I decided to live it. Now in my 60’s I can say that so far I have and I intend to continue. Today I am taking my bike out for a ride after I work out and have breakfast. I think I will pull some G’s on some fantastic motorcycle road around here. I’ll know which road when I find it. If you shook your head while reading any of my post try and go out and live a little. Don’t dwell on things you can’t control. Have fun with those you can.

I agree with both of you, but a knife like this does one thing very well. The sight of it would keep annoying people away. I have a Bowie Knife that is polished stainless and has a blade 10 1/2” long. I used to use it when I went camping in the mountains of California for chopping kindling. I used to put a piece of wood on my table then jam the Bowie into it allowing it to be seen by all. Campground moochers left me alone. I’d like to use my Bowie on Otto Communista!

It’s just people being entertained by something new and different. Much like posts in the Saloon.
