you don't know tannie Helene!????

Oom Kerleels giving running commentary (& zero f@cks at nig marietjie's wedding during the speeches; RWC semi final bokke vs Aus, while listening to the radio on earphones & being moer-of-a-loud) springs to mind: strafskop is oor! Auntie Helene almost moered him.Edit: gremmar,grammar,gremmer

i didnt say i was proud about it, but 3/4 ain't bad:)

Friday: Home made chicken kebabs (yogurt, masala, jeera & turmeric) on rosemary twigs - didn't have sosatiestokkies and had to improvise. Fresh bread with that. Saturday: kiddies party at Spur. Sunday: 5hr lightly oak smoked grass fed brisket, in red wine with potatos on the Cobb and honeyed Chelsea buns based on a hot cross bun recipe. Monday: Beer at Triggerfish!

akward at a school dance though

don't you have a couch? Bike deserves a PROPER pic...

Better to work on min BMI, e.g. 29+. Pardon the pun...

Who still rides cleats??? The odd-bins 938 talking while i wait for the smoked pork neck to bide it's time...

You only need to iron button up shirts & chino type trousers. Put effort into neatly hanging them up to dry & save on ironing. Better yet, from now on only buy easy care shirts

My commute now includes taking Alex to school as well. If not, PetiteGiant spends an hour in traffic doing the school run. We only live 2km from the primary shool, but 5km from playschool - in a different direction. Stellenbosch traffic is ridiculous. Well, the bike drop-off is much lekkerder: Up G Spot, down Coetzenburg XC track to say hi to Aztec the Appaloosa, the other horses and cattle at the University Farm and then on to school. Alex decided that we should have our breakfast "on the mountain" this morning. (EDIT: Added pic)

done that often. Gives a bit more smokey taste. I also use rosemary twigs in the cobb to smoke. Now you gave me an idea...rosemary smoked lamb rib

I, personally, will NOT order from CRC if I don't DHL the package. For +-R225 (package & forex dependent) you order Tuesday & it's at your door on Friday. DHL also charges a handling fee. Can't remember off-hand the cost thereof. They'll invoice you when package go through customs and you pay before its released for delivery. You get charged VAT at 110% of your purchase price, which is 15.4% (from 1 April 2018 that will be 16.5%). SARS also uses their exchange rate, but its not too far off.

I once sommer used the farm's beesspuit, Worked well, but we couldn't get the cattle out of the drukgang after giving them their shots. Brakes locked up. Dad was pissed.

XCM race calls for THE marathon tyre

Had to google that! It was impressive. Tessa only weighs 4.5kgs. That's probably 15% of her body weight there.

This must be some kind of record:

Piet "Jack-hammer" Botha said eloquently in "Goeienag generaal": "Generaal ry rond in sy blink, swart kar en speel skaak met die kinders van ons land." How many of the soldiers that actually fight and die have a say in what their leaders believe to be right? There are very few just wars: Wars that I'd be willing to fight in, let alone my son fight in. I believe fighting to stop Hitler was just, but him starting the war had no justification. This makes Sagan's statement relevant on that war. (Although I believe WW2 was a continuation of WW1, which was started in 1914 when the Great Powers were all just lus to moer each other. BUT that is simplifying a complex issue over which there is no consensus by historians. Therefore both WW1 & 2 aren't wars that I'd be willing to fight.

ask Lexx, but ×1.33 should get you to a not materially misstated answer.

Guys, need some input...not lus to go shopping, but lus for a meaty curry. Currently in pantry: boerwors, red kidney beans & coconut milk. Also all masalas & spices, etc needed for a curry. Do you think the combo (boerie & beans) will work?

My holiday project: Paint living room and make a live edge Silver Oak shelf to replace the funny little kassie we used to put the television on for the last 8 years... My dad planted the the tree some 35 years ago as part of a wind shield in his citrus orchards. Turned out that the shade of the large trees created bigger problems than wind and down they came. My boet had the foresight to take some of the wood to a sawmill and one plank made its way from the farm in Patensie to Stellies... I still need to source better brackets (will be hitting antique shops soon) and the make a plan with the freaking tv/dvd wires.

light Cobb with 1 cup liquid in moat. Salt, pepper, paprika on brisket. When cobb ready put some soaked woodchips on coals - i sommer use green lemon twigs about as thick as a thumb - put on grillgrid and toasting rack, dome on , heat for a few minutes. Place brisket on rack, smoke to your liking. Depending on size i smoke for 1.5 - 2 hrs. Wrap meat in foil and bake till meat reaally tender. May need to add brickets.

j7st love the Cobb. Can do so much with it. Pulled smoked brisket was awesome

i like the yellow. Purple Hope finishing kit?

Marina...once upon a time a client of mine. Really good guys involved in that business back then, unfortunately I lost contact when moved from auditing

A crazyguy is currently riding from CT to PE and blogging as he goes. He is not in a hurry (day 13 done and only in Hermanus), but it makes for interesting reading: http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/page/?o=1mr&page_id=526390&v=1U I'm waiting to see what his route is from George: N2/Langkloof/Baviaanskloof
