I think I may have discovered a fantastic new diet for me - dental work. They had to do a little something to one of my poor little teethes yesterday, which involved making 98% of my mouth and tongue completely numb. The work itself took 10 minutes at the most, the numbness lasted for five [...]
Thursday
The male-dominated bike-blog-o-net is full of photos of artfully scultped facial hairs. Since the female version isn’t really my style, instead i bring you the second best thing. Photos of our SSUSA display in the shop window.
Trout Pond
