It might be nice to edit your OP to let people know that the owner made it right. Glad to hear it was a good resolution and hope your next trip is awesome!...

re: I still prefer instant grits
Posted by hogfly on 4/23/24 at 12:43 pm
I need to cook more "regular" grits. I almost always end up baking mine with cheese, garlic and eggs mixed in so that they're more "cakelike" like a garlic cheese polenta than traditional grits. But that's because I'm usually making them for a potluck, and they serve more easily that way.

Anyone have any experiences? We (family of 4) are flying into Nice on 6/3 and heading to Finale Ligure for a few days of mountain biking then looking for other options in that general region (planning on staying mainly in Western Italy. We fly back on 6/14.
We aren't really that into large citie...

I know a local company that specializes in restoration of leather bound texts (they do a lot of bibles). Not sure if you’re interested in mailing off, but here is their website.

Thanks for all the advice. We spend a LOT of time in the car together traveling for biking. We ARE about to get to the point that he does trips on his own, but we are fortunate to get to do a lot of long road trips together and as a whole family with mom and sibling along as well.

He had an. essay he was working on for English for the first half of the trip there, so we talked through a lot of that for several hours. Then he had his headphones in because he was typing. I ended up listening to first season of Old Gods of Appalachia. I'll likely be breaking that out more in the...

My advice is to fly.[/quote]
We travel with bikes, which makes flying (and car rental / ground transport for the bikes) a pain. In all honesty, unless I can get a direct flight... I'm driving anywhere I can get to in 12-16 hours these days. I enjoy being in my car. I do not enjoy being i...
re: Coffee Thread

Anyone looking at the Fellow Aiden drip machine?
It might just be the one that persuades me to up my game. The wife and I both drip due to convenience (and very early/quick wakeup routines). As such, pourovers and such aren't practical for us as first coffee in the morning.

Hah. Not familiar with how the folk music and bluegrass scene fed into the psychedelic music scene? Jerry Garcia was a huge bluegrass fan before he was ever in the Dead. Like he travelled around to bluegrass festivals and made audio recordings. He also played banjo and performed in quite a few blueg...

I understand the inclination to dismiss these folks "gains" (losses) as non-lasting. That being said, it goes against just about all the science on formation of habits and lifestyle changes to dismiss this out of hand. Often some kind of catalyst/impetus is needed to establish or break habits.

Audiobook for 20 Hours in the car with teenage son
Posted by hogfly on 4/10/24 at 9:23 am
My teenage son and I are heading to Tennessee for a mountain bike clinic this weekend. We will be in the car for about 20 hours over the next 72 hours or so. I listened to [i]Kitchen Confidential[/i] on our last road trip, and he ended up just putting his airpods in and listening to music.
