episode 149: waffle cone

under the blanket...

Generally speaking, I feel that the waffle cone is a huge rip off. I mean you pay something like an extra dollar or a dollar and a half for a stale old cone that really doesn't taste that good. I remember when I first saw the waffle cone, how excited I was, that maybe it would taste, I don't know, like a waffle. With that premise, I was giddy at the thought of having a little Belgium waffle in my hand, with some sweet, sweet ice cream. Oh, how wrong I was.

Last week we stopped down the ole cold stone creamery, the girl offered me a waffle bowl. I scoffed at her and said, "come on now, you know that the waffle bowl is a total scam." She smiled at me and nodded, acknowledging my clear command of the situation. Now the pretzel cone. I have to admit, is somewhat intriguing to me, now I believe that it's a scam too, and as such haven't tried one, but still the sweet and salty together could be magical. Any advise on the pretzel cone?

E-town and I rode the Fairhill course yesterday. Randall and company have out done themselves. The loop is very challenging, and hits most of the well know sections of single track in the park. I'll admit, with the number of times Randall sends us ripping down the a hill, only to make a 180 degree turn and climb back up, I think he was trying to make the course hard, not fun and flowing. There was a time we did the same thing as we had some folks at Granogue over the years that wanted the course to be harder, not funner. That was kind of a bad idea. All we talk about now is "does the course flow" .

Anyway the course was close to 30 miles, and E-town and I did it in around 2:50. I love fairhill, nothing brings a smile to my face like southpark and kenny's revenge, that twilight zone section (I think some call it the jersey turnpike) is divine. Randall has done an excellent job of looping in just about every trail, and his anti-zombie work has been top notch. I did see a suspicious hole, where I'm guessing he had buried some zombie corpses.

Layla is pretty scared of thunder, and fireworks. The usuall Friday night fireworks we get here in Cecil County set her into a tizzy. The fourth of July is her personal hell. I swear the dude in the neighborhood below me is setting of weapons of mass destruction, Layla is trying to hide anywhere she can, just trying to find some cover. poor girl.

behind the end table...
