What sorts of extreme events do the rest of you participate in?
Extreme Buzzard watching.... (at all depends on who is watching whom) Extreme Diamond-back dodging... Extreme Bird-spider slalom... Extreme downhill road-kill production... Extreme Oryx racing (normal is when the oryx is in front of you... extreme is vice versa) Extreme Cougar racing (same as above)... Extreme humor... this is when your partner jokes to an army enlisted man who holds a 50mm machine gun pointed at you during a live drill.... and then there was the one bout of extreme out-of-control missile avoidance.... oh... and I forgot... extreme debugging... Your software crashes during a "live" event, money is on the table, you have 12 minutes to find and fix the bug or your company looses more money than they will ever pay you.... :omg:

I was very angry because it took so long to destroy it.... I complained.... When I found out the delays in destroying the out-of-control-bird was because the instantaneous impact predictor (IIP) was updating too slow (1 per second) and they could only destroy it when it was aimed away from public.... I wrote a 20 per second version the next week. I don't like seeing missiles headed straight for me.... It's like a personal thing.... ;)

I'm eating a beer-braised italian sausage w/ sauerkraut, carmelized onions, fried potatoes, and spicy mustard on a garlic-buttered roll, with a pickled pepper on the side. It's extremely good... :-\

Yeah, hate to break it to you, but that's long gone. It's peach cobbler today... :-\

I just got a small basket of peaches from the farmer's market. They don't last long enough to even think about starting on cobbler. I can't wait until the blackberry canes start producing though.

I made refrigerator pickles for the first time a few days ago and just finished them off. Man were they good. Fresh cucumbers and onions appear to be the key.

Going along with the Hobbies[^] post from a few days ago, I'm only a few hours away from a week's vacation. I am participating in a 340 mile non-stop canoe race. Missouri River 340[^] I have 100 hours to go the full distance. What sorts of extreme events do the rest of you participate in? Hogan
It's not really extreme, but I did just manage a one minute elbow lever.

Yes. I also like the flavor that good cider vinegar brings. One thing i really enjoy about refrigerator pickles is that i can mix up a big batch of them and freeze most of it immediately - they're crisp and delicious months later.

Yeah, I didn't think of the vinegar part of it. This is the first time using an organic more expensive vinegar. I'd made pickled onions and pickled jalapenos with mass market vinegar and that might have contributed a chemical taste.

I'll have to do that. We are getting boatloads of cucumbers right now.

You have no idea. The term "clusterf***" comes to mind.
