Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

 You made it up the hill this year. I knew you could do it  I really loved the way the wolf came along to cheer you on

Yeah! Come to THINK of it, I THOUGHT I saw a rocket sled with the name "Acme" stenciled across its flanks and just visible off to the right in the woods there, Eddy!!!

Yea, Keith, I feel bad I didn't say anything in here. I was "Face Booking" while in the hospital for the week as it was the only thing I could access on my phone and when I got out didn't think to do any posting. Amazing tool for getting information out in a couple of lines.
Folks in here have always been like family when it comes to such things. I feel bad now.

Nah, I think it was the neighbors dog? I don't know where he came from because I never did see him, but sure looks like a coyote! Which would not be unusual for these parts, could be a wolf too but it's a bit on the small side.

I don't think they are called "cougars" when they get that old.
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

Cool vid Eddy. Ya had me a bit worried going over what looked like a blind hill in the middle of the road...Then with your quick turn around (editing) I thought maybey your neighbor was out on his bike also. Ya weren't going too fast but you made it ALOT further than I would have...Thanks for sharing.

I surprised the people at the local shop last week when I rode in when it was 25 degrees outside for an inspection. I needed it for the Midnight Run next week. I don't mind the cold, but that snow is another thing entirely.
I expected you to spin up that back wheel when you left. You didn't disapoint.
