In my attempt to keep the apple trees from behind my house from trying to ruin my day with allergies I have sourced a local Bedillion Bee Farm to get honey from.

They sell bees from the farm in 3lb or 5lb poses which led me to ft some questions to ask the owner, like how do you transport bees!!  I envisioned the scene from Tommy boy with the bee in the car and totally thought that would be the outcome if you put them in a car.  But he said its not that bad.  lol They were really nice people.  Will venture up there again for some of the Japanese Knot weed honey in couple months.

Ventured off in route to find this near perfect rated taco joint I found on good Fri when was released from work early. Only problem when was like 4 miles away from it when found it and my wallet was way way back at the car. So.. Take 2.

This time ensured had money! Around Cecil we headed out across back roads(Hills!) to get into southpoint where Los Chiludos is located.

The fish tacos were delicious. They had some awesome beans. They were garlic flavored beans but was not any garlic in then. Going to mess around and try and make them. Think is making a garlic tea and hydrating dried pinto bean in that. Maybe? I dunno

The salsa we got to start was great like I Chipotle kind of spice with chared veggies. And of course booze for fuel to make it on the ride back!

This was the longest day trip of the year, hit spots of rain and little vicious thunder shower on the return trip.

Weekly venture to see music took me to Mr Smalls to see the Band of Skulls.

Kicked off the first mountain bike ride of the year. Beautiful day, the sun felt amazing.

Only had one close call, I was told by passing biker coming up a cliff.. it’s fun going down, and to just stay to left and keep my weight to the back. Well I ripped it, and it was a recipe for disaster. I had to bail out or I would have broke something. I’d guess 30-40% grade but with larger rocks.

This Saturday took part in the East End Brewery Keg Ride again for this year. Could not have asked for better weather for the event.

We started off with the breakfast of Champions, of a keg ride, with kegs and eggs at Bocktown as part of the Pittsburgh Craft Beer Week. Got a nice sampler of Brewery collaborations they had on special. I have not had beer at 8am for a long time!

What a fun day it was.

Put the intake bits in the rx7 after leaving it apart for like 2 years. Still have power issue but car started up easily and perfect idle.

Left the car out of the garage to clean it up a bit, and got a free car wash out of the deal.

This was The Mantras playing at Thunderbird Cafe.

Going to start keeping track of the shows that check out across  the weeks. Getting back on track to seeing at least a show per month. Hit a little dry spell but that should be in the past. Music is great for the soul.
