Torture Device

Yesterday, my bike seat was officially recognized as a Medieval Torture Device by the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism). So, I improvised a new one, and then bravely set off for Walden Pond. It was, how shall I put this, still a pain in the ass. Below is Rev. 2, and yes, the Tape of the Ducks is a major binding agent. Off to Walden Pond again, hopefully with less distress.


LATER: Well, it's an improvement. Am just going by the seat of my pants here, but may still need to come up with Rev. 3....

"Baconauts" - Hormel® Bacon Minute Films

Camping

This was the (evening) view from our camping site. Dinner the first night was grilled corn on the cob, grilled swordfish steak, and a hand-made Greek salad. Desert was rice pudding & chocolate pudding (a little of each), plus a couple of TJ's coconut bon-bons. (Annie was too modest to list all of the food she made, but it was really good.) If there's one thing that Annie and I agree on, it's that we'll never starve....


 Found this bad boy on the side of our tent the next morning:
