And the interweb's sooooo delightful...
And since we've no place to riiiiide (or driiiink because the 500th open-bar office party this week was postponed for tomorroooooow because of aforementioned weatheeer)
let it go, let it go, let it goooo....

Peace, pirates and all ye friendly lurkers! Ridem if you can! Lucky goats.

who wants to ride to home base tonight?

Julie, I saw a bike with S&S couplers at College Park bikes today. It had polished/stainless lugs on each side of the coupler. It looked suhweet!
Lucky you.

So...I guess I'm the ninjapirate, it seems. Great photos Chimbly.


Is there riding to Home Base?

so Tink. How'd that sign work out for you?

I really need to go to bed.......

what part of the puzzle have i overlooked?

sorry, K, i'm not willing to use the word "dong." it's just me. hope you don't mind being the ninja.

as for couplers, you should check out some of the possibilities on this website:

*mrowl* of course mine won't be gawdy and over the top... i'm trying to keep it simple.
seriously, though. here's what i'm really excited about: riding to and from every airport without having to lug or store some ugly hard case:

and brit, why do you need to go to bed at 11:30pm? that's odd. i don't get it.

I had four meetings at work yesterday the first at 7:30am and I fell asleep in every one, I also fell asleep on the metro coming home, so I really needed to get some party prep sleep for the weekend, hence the need to be in bed at 11:30pm. Bikeforums and photoshop was keeping me up....

On subject of "dong", I agree with Chimbly dong is wrong, less dong more goat

Those couplers are sweet.

Goat mission almost completed, I think I left a leg or rib cage at the butcher. at based camp defrosting now.

The food score as follows:

green salad: check
Collet greens w garlic and olive oil: check
Not so cheap plastic flatware: check
Very tender pork chops: check
sparks: check
smoking chips: check
dismembered goat: check

Need:

Nice disposable plates
Ice
Drinking cups
stuff to sit on
tunes
French or Italian bread
Garlic
Muffin tin

will be roasting garlic, mincing garlic, rubbing w garlic.... more garlic!

call me if you need an idea (Julie can find me if you don't hav my number)

On my cell phone for rest of day

<bleat>

btw: there is a 24/7 giant a few blocks away ans a liquor store across the street in case we miss anything

collard greens? yummy. make 'em veggie please. call me if you need help with a veggie recipe.

oh chimbly...the dong isn't as malicious as all that. originally, in exchanges with a friend or two, k-dog...was mistyped and the 'n' was inserted. it stuck. 'dong' wasn't the intent, rather the unsuspecting 'dog' had an erroneous run in with the letter 'n'.

please no hate on the k-dong. much love is intended. but YOU may call me the ninja if you want

k

we may all call you ninja. it may stick.

The collet greens will be vegan! but someone will have to pick up garlic and 3 can of veggie broth.

If we get veggie broth, there may be pan fried noodles w 3 (san) mushroom sause..mmmmm also veggie, if not vegan. Q; is oyster flavored sause veggie?

Any Pirates or lurkers that do not have an idea of what to bring, I take $

or please call me and we'll work it out

Anyone who would like to do their cooking here, please also call me to pre-arrange kitchen time.

<bleaT>

oyster sauce is not veggie.
i need oven time - 50 min.

and... what the hell are collet greens? are those collards you're talking about?

collard, i'm a yankee for deuce's sake.

i said oyster "flavored", i'll check the ingredients. it is meant for the mushrooms, not collards. I'll make it alll work, don't worry

wow cooking for agang of pirates is as hard as cooking in jail

PNC, I don't know what you got for spices, but I will bring some of mine also. For those that don't know PNC and I will be man-handaling the Goat with lots of fire and smoke. It should be very good.

For those that don't know Tink and I will be man-handaling each other. I miss you baby.

pnc- this is a pot luck! you should just cook one thing. we'll all bring one thing. you're not making us a full dinner, you know!

Yeah I know, suddenly, I got all this energy. The goat stuff, I'll can on Kenton,
Collard greens is easy 15 min stuff, nice to have a warm veggie,

if there is energy and tme and something missing, the pan fried noodles, also a cinch

may skip the other white meat.

costco is dangerous

re; spices
rosemary check
sea salt check
pepper corn check
montreal rub check

Gosh, this all sounds delightful. I will try to make from my work party in Bethesda. It won't be till late...so you all better be going hard. I know you will be. If there is any late night treat you guys want, i am listening.
