If you’re like me, you’ve heard of the whiskey sour but probably never had one. Oh and if you enjoy the flavor and feel of sucking on a lemon then this drink is definitely for you! Just three ingredients: 1 part simple syrup 2 parts fresh lemon juice (basically two lemons) 1 1/2 to 2 parts whiskey or bourbon Shake with ice, strain and serve on ice. Enjoy! You can thank me later.

It’s the time of year again: Time for Laconia Bike Week! A group of 5 of us, that turned into just 3 since this was a mid-work week get-a-way, got together so we could go over to Gunstock and see the hill climb. I pulled out my trusty (ok, far from trusty, but completely rebuilt) T120R – 1968 Triumph Bonneville. Not the best bike for long tours, but this was the right distance for this bike. Far enough to stretch her legs, but not so far that I couldn’t get it back simply enough if it all went wrong. The first thing we did was go down…

So there’s a song on the radio by Old Dominion called: Hotel Key and it reminds me of all the hotel keys that we’ve kept over the years. I finally found a purpose for them which allows me to display the destinations we’ve been to but also lets them serve a second purpose. Refrigerator magnets! So simple it’s stupid. Buy a magnet strip, they either already have a sticky side or you glue it to the back of your hotel room keys. and just like that…. So remember to keep your hotel room keys next time around. Instead of disposing them or leaving them behind, you can…

It’s been a long long time since I’ve last gone. Probably 20 years? Or at least close to it. Last time I shot my over and under I was still in college and still shooting pretty well. I was invited to a private club by a friend and member. Actually he’s been kindly bugging me for a while to go and while I wanted to make it, prior commitments on the particular weekday (Wednesday) kept me from attending. This week he asked again, and this time I was available! I pulled out the trusty Valmet gun I’ve used since I was 16. (not my photos below, but the same gun)…

Since the first trip didn’t go as planned: https://www.missionexploration.com/mountain-biking-at-gunstock-my-first-try/ I had a moment this past Sunday to go back up and try again. Shoes, shorts, helmet, bike and new water bottle… I was good to go. One thing: I forgot the map. Getting lost wasn’t going to stop me and I knew damn well which trail to go on. I wasn’t going to let this one trail get the best of me! So up the hill I went. Oh and it was a hill. I biked up 95% of it (to throw out an arbitrary number that means nothing). Only a few did I get off an walk. I…
