Late that afternoon, the County Agent I was working with asked me if I would like to take home some fresh asparagus? I told him no and he ask me why not. I said because it was stringy and I didn't like it. He said let me pick/cut you some the right way and you take it home, steam it, add some salt & pepper and butter and drizzle a bit of cheese over it. So he grabbed his asparagus knife (yes, I then learned that one should cut the spears a couple of inches below the soil surface so the crowns will continue to produce spears). Also, it's best when cut in the spring when it's growing fast. He then had me cut/dig the spears while he would hold the spears over a bucket and hit them with his big, sharp knife, till it fell through the spear, allowing the tip of the spear to fall into the bucket. So, I took a half a bucket home and my wife cooked them us as suggested. I couldn't believe it was the same stuff that I had tried to eat before. THE END |

Edit: Actually, even better would be a supermoto. I wish I had had one of those when I was riding. My KLR was as close as I got so treated it like an SM. I think a KLX 300SM would be a straight up blast. It won't be much of a sport tourer, but then with your size, you won't get very far on anything with an "R" in the model name. lol

Back when it was easy(and possible) to convert dirt bikes into dual sports here, we had a customer buy a KTM 450SM. We dual sported it, tossed the 4 speed setup and converted it to 6 speed with an EXE-W transmission set. That thing was a weapon on the backroads.

i've never been happier to not be part of facebook. my sister copied some link to a local town coffee shop collaborating with a chocolate shop in another town to build a new location for both stores. something to the effect of "great to see a small business expanding!" she got a multiple-paragraph 'book' DM from my cousin in that nearby town to the effect of "don't you dare support them for [reasons]"... i don't miss those interactions.

Yeah! I read! We've been doing it wrong. Well, I haven't. She picks 'em and I eat 'em.

I met up with the Director of the Institute, Dr. George Yammine, (ya, know it's amazing how good my long term memory is - ) now ......... what we we talking about? Oh, yes, fresh pineapple. So we piled into his jeep and took off to the pineapple plots. After we arrived in the fields, he asked me if I had ever eaten fresh, vine/plant ripened pineapple? I said no. So he whipped out his small machete and chopped off a pineapple and trimmed up a few slices. I had never (or since ever) tasted anything like that. It was soo juicy and soo sweet and what flavor! - I don't know how Dole takes that away from the pineapple, before they stick them in a can ..... but they do. - THE END |

I love pineapple. Ripe-picked is amazing. The ants know which ones are ready.
