    Sweet Cars and Trucks

    My local mechanic and his office manager just built this awesome ride. 1953 Chevrolet panel truck body on top of a ‘71 4x4 pickup chassis and small block V8. They are going to keep the rat rod finish.

    Kind of late but if you are up later tonight or tomorrow, there is a very chance of seeing some northern lights. Big solar storm is afoot. NOAA Aurora forecast

    Moira went for her first bus ride today. We did a little hike at a scenic waterfall with some travel agents from Germany. I think that she really enjoyed watching the world go by from the lying down position.

    Ramps

    The house smells like wild leeks again. Blue Toes took advantage of the cold snap and lack of bugs to get another leaf pick done. She'll go for bulbs next week, they should be phat by then. Even the flowers are tasty, nice garnish on a salad (they come later).

    Building a House with Wood

    You don't need to figure that out, the person who designed your roof truss system should have already done that. Telemark Dave's job is designing and engineering roof truss systems, he explained to me once that if your house is built to code (in our region at least), it will hold WAY more snow...

    Ramps

    Seasoning and garnish. Really good on eggs, potatoes and in soups. The dried version has a much milder flavour than the fresh ones, so sprinkle on liberally.

    Full-on ramp aroma in our house tonight and yesterday. Blue Toes went picking yesterday and the dehydrator is running now.

    Building a House with Wood

    Can't speak for trackbiker's friend but we set up a similar path with 1" crushed stone and drainage pipe. In more decorative areas we put river rock on top of the gravel.

    I am not normally a big fan of things AI but inspired by someone else's post, I used Chat GPT to determine Moira's breed mix. It took over 15 minutes, though we do have slow Internet connection. Search terms were "Please identify this dog breed mix." Here are the results: Breed Mix Analysis of...

    Scouting mission today, there seems to be a bumper crop this year, with leeks popping up in areas not seen before. Blue Toes is going foraging tomorrow, we shall see what comes back.

    Ramps

    Hinterlandian wild leeks (aka ramps) are coming but as you said, a bit behind. Looks like a good crop though.

    Tales from the Hinterlands 2024/25

    The chair is bare but there is still snow on the ground and ice on the lakes up here. What a great winter in the east! So many ski hills close when they have lots of snow but no skier traffic, and our local bump is no exception. The WWHSTA team organized the 2025 Corn Harvest at Hidden Valley...
