No touch 10 second garlic peeling

Fall is also pesto making time around our house.  Buckets of washed basil:

 Garlic peeled the 10 second method:

 
This year Fahzure and Mrs. Fahzure grew about 20 Basil plants and 200 heads of garlic.  We'll try to put up about 3 gallons of pesto, so having to peel 15 or so heads of garlic can be a real chore and hard on your hands. I use the side of a Chef's knife or cleaver to break apart the heads, so I don't end up touching the garlic hardly at all:

A couple of caveats, it's about 10 seconds per head, and with the bowls the size in the video, about 10 heads is the efficient limit. This method does generate a bit of waste in that the tips of the cloves often break off, mixing with the husks.

Cycling for everyone

So safe that everyone rides without a helmet:

Always a fan

NWD has consistently brought out the best and most progressive freeride videos over the past decade or so, largely due to their affiliation with Wade "The Godfather of Freeride" Simmons and a other shore riders and builders.

Also, its hard to ignore the significance of Jed Mildon's Triple back flip on a bike. These super ramp tricks are out of hand.

If you notice, in the video, there is a large air bag after the exit ramp.  This innovation has rapidly increased the development of new tricks in many action sports.  I tried an airbag at Sea Otter and loved it:

Ken and Dave of Camp of Champions were gracious hosts, but Justin Wyper outdid them by allowing me to ride his bike the second day. Although I did not get to ride the Killswitch, the Black Market hardtail was very flickable, encouraging me to try my first back flip.  These devices take it up a notch.  Thanks to Justin Wyper,  a sick f***, and COC.

Not usually a fan

Of mountain bike and bmx crash vids; I figure they make you focus on bad habits, poor form and fear.  This crash vid has nothing to do with bad habits, poor form or fear.  In some situations all you can do is laugh:
