We got some goat cheese in the fridge (goat blue), and I love my cheese, but man, this stuff reeks of billy goat piss. It’s so intense I can only eat about 5mm as a time.

The goat thing is actually a lot worse in the Olympic Mtns. They’re sort of native to the Cascades (where the Enchantments is). In the Cascades, they have natural sources of salt, can’t remember how. Rocks maybe? They were brought to the Olympics for hunting, but they don’t have salt sources there. Except that hikers tend to spray salt from their bodies at random intervals (which is a damn good way of training animals).
When I hiked the Enchantments (clockwise, the easy way), we encountered a mom and baby and then later a group of three. They couldn’t care less about us.
Last I heard, they’d either killed or relocated all the goats they could find in the Olympics.

Goats or Eastern Oregonians. They’re both ornery and don’t belong on the west side.

How about instead of salt-loving goats, hallucinogen-loving reindeer?
Other explorers studied the Koryak tribe of Kamchatka and
found that they obeyed Big Raven’s instruction to eat the
fungus. A typical hallucinatory experience evolved. First the
participant fell into a drunken stupor. When he awoke, a
period of frenetic activity ensued with accompanying auditory
hallucinations and changes in colour vision. The active
hallucinogen passed into the urine which they still valued for
its psychedelic activity. The local reindeer would often follow
the drunken individual around and if he relieved himself in the snow, the reindeer would eat it and become similarly
intoxicated. Reindeers in this state can easily be roped and
killed.

Didn’t a Olympic Goat kill a hiker a while back? They’re salt-hungry and aggressive.

Shimano’s best years were late '80s, early to mid '90s
At least six people on today’s ride commented on my “cruiser.” One woman said, “Where are the flowers?” These are the kindly, heartfelt remarks you must suck up and endure when you ride a Rivendell on trails.
I chuckled.

Then there’s that whole bit about lever actuated front derailleurs, wondering what they are like to use, wondering what it would take to get one manufactured…Like is he willfully NOT looking at anything Jan does? I’m not in the biz and I can tell you about at least 2 recently constructed lever front derailleurs.

HY have an idea for a sw8 shin rest for my bass clarinet to hold it a little further away from my body when I’m playing standing up.
WTH I have no idea what to even google to figure out where to get parts to make this thing.
HY/WTH? A friend sent me some photos of two more modern bass clarinets he is repairing that I wanted to compare to the keywork mods I did/am doing. What I’m doing is so fucking different. I tried to think through some of the harder lines I have been working on and I am having a hard time wrapping my brain around doing them on the newer instruments. My whole setup is deep into homercar territory, especially if I get this weird shin rest working.
