Bacon Vodka
makes up one pint Fry up three strips of bacon. Add cooked bacon to a clean pint sized mason jar. Trim the ends of the bacon if they are too tall to fit in the jar. Or you could go hog wild and just pile in a bunch of fried up bacon scraps. Optional: add crushed black peppercorns. Fill the jar up with vodka. Cap and place in a dark cupboard for at least three weeks. That’s right- I didn’t refrigerate it. At the end of the three week resting period, place the bacon vodka in the freezer to solidify the fats. Strain out the fats through a coffee filter to yield a clear filtered pale yellow bacon vodka. Decant into decorative bottles and enjoy.

Bacon Vodka?
Ok, I think this is the best I’ve seen my TBS sticker on my seat post.
That’s what it looked like as I was cleaning the bike after Leadville. The finish was in the rain, made lots of mud, which is what I really wanted to be riding in at that point. At least I finished.
Wow, what a ride. Still more fun than I should have, even after all this time. Course is great, support is awesome and it’s just out there enough to make it all worth while. Come ride it with me sometime.
Watch Yer Bacon
Sorry to be posting a bummer, but here’s what happened and what to look out for. This evening at 5:30 pm, southbound on Lakeside Dr. just north of Lone Tree I was passed by a Silver Toyota SUV, I think it was a Highlander, NV plate 834 VEH, I think 3 occupants, young, white, probably stupid. Passenger threw a nearly full tall can of a drink at me. He threw it hard and fast and it hit the grass on the side of the road with a gut-wrenchingly strong thud. Went by my head so close I felt the wind from it, but a clean miss. Fortunately for me, these assholes probably don’t know enough about the laws of physics to accurately throw anything but it did shake me up a bit. I immediately called it in, issued a complaint, will go in tomorrow and sign said complaint, but don’t expect a whole lot to happen. If you happen to see said SUV, last seen heading west-bound on Lone Tree from Lakeside, let me know. Stay safe, it’s a friggin’ zoo out there.
Good Music Coming…
Lee Rocker (for those of you old enough, he was the bass player for the Stray Cats) is coming to town. He’s playing at Vixen in Sparks (http://vixensparks.com/home.html) this coming Friday, May 30. He puts on a good show and more importantly, his band is awesome, anchored by one of the finest precision drummers you will ever see (full disclosure: the drummer is my brother).
