No project. Already part of the trip.
No project. Already part of the trip. Wife wants to visit Deutschland in Nov of 2020 for the Weihnachtsmarkt in Mainz and possibly Bonn. You can buy me a Glühwein and a Pilsener and we’ll call it even.

I had a Pils in Freiburg, Germany. Horrid. Local brew Hefeweizen was MUCH better. Prep for the trip looks good. Nothing you don't need. I saw a sign in Arizona recently. Watch for bears and mountain lions. :-O

The worst German pils has got to be better than Blue Moon or any of the funky boutique brews we currently have flooding our US market.

Lived around Freiburg for 27 years, nicest area in Germany. Had to move to Stuttgart area for business. If you're ever back to that area, ask for a Kräußenpils from the Elzacher Löwenbräu (brewery).
Heard about a jogger killing a mountain lion with bare hands recently:

Lol although I wouldn't want to do it with my bare hands, 50# isn't much of a mountain lion. A hungry cub. I have a 184# one full mounted downstairs that I killed with a recurve bow and wood arrow in Montana 25 years ago. Take one that size on with your bare hands and you'd be lion chow.

Just as well you hit it, then, Ferret!
Are you and Django planning to meet up on the epic ride?

I was pretty impressed when I saw the headlines, but after I read that it was a 50 lb. starving cub, I felt sorry for the little cat.
I've found that these cats outside of populated areas tend to keep to themselves. I camped near a large mountain lion in Northern Idaho several years back. Every night I'd hear it scream up on the nearby mountain (presumably after a kill) and in the morning I'd usually find large cat footprints around my camp. It never gave me a bit of trouble.
Then there was that time I was playing the piano...

I suppose it sang flat, Flyn which was why it had to go?
RE: Ride across the USA - the Ferret - 04-26-2019
Cormanus I would love to meet up with Django and would love to ride part of the BRP with him if I can arrange it.
Most of the cats that attack people/pets are young under 100 pound animals that are having a hard time killing the big game they normally live on ( deer, elk, sheep) and are starving. They haven't learned a fear of man yet and hunger is over riding their natural fear.

Excellent. The first part, not the second.
