Don't see any International shipping, even though we have Fedex over here. Ah well....

It is sort of like a cinnamon roll but rolled vertically and stuffed with whatever filling/flavor you choose.

The outside is sprinkled with the traditional purple, green, and gold sugar.

Wash it down with a good cup of coffee.

Prot, found a recipe thanks, but have yet to persuade Mrs B that she ought to make one! The coloured sugar will certainly be a problem, may have to make do without, or use alternative colours!

Passing by, been hibernating, but that's normal for me in Minnesota winters. Rained almost all day yesterday, no more salt, clean roads, temp below freezing on this sunny day and I'd take the first ride of the year anyway, but... don't want to get the sniffles and lower my resistance, wuflu is spreading fast here. Not terribly worried, but do realize if I'm as careless about my health as I usually have been, I might regret it. 73 next week, 22 year old trapped in an old body. Just had a thought GR, don't think I've seen a photo of you. If you aren't shy... I'll start, this was me in 2018 with my daughter in the Black Hills (71 years old). My 1200C is in front of us, only the tailbag is showing.



Fighting trim at 20. Holding a rifle somebody lost, mine's the one with some bullets plugged in, a sensible precaution where this photo was taken.



First photo, Dad obviously had a priority when he got back from Europe...



Lot of miles, lot of motorcycles, miscellaneous cars, houses, babies... we can pack a lot into 70 years.

That’s so cool Imold.

My health is actually improved substantially but I’d like to build my strength back up a bit before I start riding.

Hopefully this corona crap goes away soon and then I can get to the gym. I prefer to use machines instead of free weights, especially when I am not very strong like now. It gives some level of control to prevent an accident or injury. I also like the inclined treadmills at the gym.

My bike is filthy, the battery is dead, and the carburetor probably needs a good cleaning thanks to the stupid ethanol. These things are minor and can be dealt with easily.

I did some lighting upgrades on the Jeep that were a lot easier to do than I anticipated. The parts I bought were also of higher quality than I expected, so all the way around this was a win.

You know not what you ask! I'm as old as my Dad (and a few weeks younger than you) when he passed away and we never had many photos of him - because he was the one behind the camera most of the time. I seem to have followed in his footsteps, not aided by a catastrophic 'puter failure a few years ago. Darned thing was misbehaving, so I took it along to a local 'doctor' to get it fixed, but he signed its death certificate. No problem, as I had a remote hard drive with umpteen photos and other essential stuff backed up. Bought a new computer, got it set up, plugged in my trusty old hard drive - and that went down almost immediately! Tried several places to recover it, with no luck. That's one reason why there hasn't been any follow up on some of my build threads, as I don't have the photos I took along the way - or indeed the originals of those I have posted. So I have a big gap in my records of lots of things, including photos of me, our trip to the States in 2003, most of my digital photos.

I'll have to see what I can do!

Same thing happened to me once so now I do a back up every first of the month.
Haven't lost anything since.
