Sad. Let's hope they come up with some good ideas on what to do with the wood.

Don't **** crazy.

Just checked on Culver's website and a small helping of cheese curds is 510 calories. :eek:

Small fries is only 240.

The next time we go to Culver's, I'll have to give them a try - I've never tried them there. Now that I think of it, I think that I've had curds outside of the State Fair only once and that was when a friend was visiting from out of town and had to try a local delicacy.

Bummer. That's a couple towns over from where I used to live way back when.

Are you related to that guy who keeps breaking spokes with his massive guads??

Where was that? Our route goes through Liberty Corner and Lyons and then through the Great Swamp to Gillette.

Culver's curds aren't bad. They use two types of cheese, a white and a yellow.

You really gotta lay down the watts to snap a front wheel nipple.

RPK79 05-02-17 01:04 PM

Well, now I have an hour before I get a call about a job. No time for a ride anymore. It wasn't until I got home and dug out my spoke wrench that I realized I had some extra spokes with nipples in my bike stuff. I could have been back on the road instead of driving to and from the bike shop.

It has been that way lately. New people, old gossip.

I lived in Warren Township from age 8-18, roughly halfway between Martinsville/Bridgewater and Liberty Corner. Went to/graduated from Watchung Hills Regional High School. I suspect you ride within a mile or two of where I lived.

Cheese curds are for fat Wisconsins.

You left that old job, right? Funemployment for now or are you still slugging it out doing the work of 2 for less pay?

Funemployment, but it doesn't bring in enough to wait it out.

Nah... It's 50º and windy so I said screw it and ate lunch at home. Besides, I'm trying to get my Gianni Motta built up but I hit a snag and had to drive to my LBS and scour the old parts bin for a Campy NR jockey wheel bearing. I dropped the dust cover on my shop floor and it must have warped itself back to 1978 because I can't find it.
