If life gives you lemons…
Actually life never gave us lemons. Lemons are a man made cross breed between a citron and a sour orange. If you've been given lemons it's from other people. People suck.

This seems to apply to many things, riding included:
Courage is knowing it might hurt, and doing it anyway. Stupidity is the same. And that's why life is hard.

I was at a Jimmy Buffett concert many years ago, and it was an outdoor venue.
And it was POURING rain. Buckets. My not-wife-yet-at-the-time was miserable. Wet rat sort of image. So I grabbed her and said, very seriously, "You can only get so wet." |

so fish and chips I love. I know this has gone away from the first post but I love food and really love fish and chips. My wife and I took a British isles cruise a number of years ago. I had the local bear and local fish and chips every place we stopped. Each was a little different but all so tasty. I now live in AZ and good fish and chips is a bit harder to find and most are just not like what I had in the British isles. Oh well just though i should post.

Larry/Fud,
It is tough getting good fish and chips here in Minnesota. I think Fud is right - the secret is fresh fish and the batter. Also, freshly cut potatoes for chips. So much is frozen first here or processed. You almost have to go to a high end restaurant to get fresh made on the spot. Although, we have a chain restaurant out of "Wisconsin" called Culvers that has some pretty taste fish. The State of Wisconsin is known for their Friday night fish fries - very good. Large Catholic population in Milwaukee that have perfected their Friday nigh fish fries over the years. Bob Copeland ![]() Great batter - fresh fish. I expect not as good as in Joy Old England

Dooglas,
My Dad was a fanatical fisherman who owned a cabin on Lake Mille Lacs in Northern Minnesota. I was fortunate to have spent all my summers in my youth at the cabin. Here is the definition of fresh fish. The Dad's would go fishing and catch Walleyes. On the same day, they would fillet clean them and my mom would cook them in thick butter in a iron skillet on the stove. She would rinse them, coat with flour and stove top cook them in butter. Man that was good. I ate fish so often I got sick of it and couldn't figure out why anyone would order fish at a restaurant. Fish story from Minnesota "Land of 10,000 Lakes". Bob Copeland ![]() Sign put up at the local store. "Closed gone Fishing".
