Nothing to Say

I like McDonald's pancakes and so I tried improving them. I microwaved a bottle of real maple syrup, wrapped it in a towel and took it with me to McD's for breakfast.

Results were disappointing though. While I normally can just about drink real maple syrup straight out of the bottle, it didn't taste good on the McD pancakes. Too sweet. I had to switch back to the McD syrup in order to enjoy the meal. The McD pancakes and syrup have apparently be engineered for a delicate balance that can't be beat.

One 30 year old Schwinn tandem bike, an artificial Xmas tree mounted securely by three large rubber bands on top of the rear baskets, assorted ornaments that stubbornly remain in place, 60 red lights, 180 multi-color lights, a portable rechargeable 100 Watt A/C power supply, a MP3 player crammed full with holiday CDs and more holiday favorites recorded from pandora.com, portable speakers and a few real jingle bells hanging off the rear end. Plus twin sets of the latest Blaze headlights and Super Flash taillights from Planet Bike just to keep the police happy and blind approaching motorists.

We power all of the Xmas lights for two hours on a single charge. And we carry a small backup power supply that can power half of the lights for two more hours.

It rolls too. Our longest ride so far was 25 miles in one night.

We've lost track of the number of compliments.

Great F***ing Lights
