Dottleshead Posted April 13, 2019 Share #1 Posted April 13, 2019 I admit it. We in PNW like to give Californians a hard time (who doesn't?). But there are some amazing tangerines coming out of there right now. I bow to the Bear. I love the Sacramento Valley at this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dottleshead Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share #7 Posted April 13, 2019 I'm guessing Bike Forums. That hippie makes everyone question their own sexuality. Oh, that and @Kzoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onbike1939 Posted April 13, 2019 Share #8 Posted April 13, 2019 I was his mentor for many years when he was but a callow youth. I do take credit for making him a sophisticated man of the world and for teaching him how to use a fork and knife. That man owes me everything....he lived his whole life in dungarees before he met me but chooses to forget how I moulded him into the silver-tongued charmer he presents as today. I regret nothing............sob. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Page Turner Posted April 13, 2019 Share #12 Posted April 13, 2019 ...the citrus trees are all going into flower now. I've spent the last couple of days getting off the last of the fruits and cleaning up with some shaping and pruning of the trees. When you grow up where I grew up, on the mean streets of the nation's capital, having access to fresh orange juice is a luxury. The juice is Vegan, gluten free, high in C vitamins, local, free range, and delicious. WE have a couiple of citrus and fruit pest invasions here right now that don't seem to affect my fruit or trees, but the state Ag guys come through periodically admonishing me not to export any fruit from my yard, and putting up insect monitoring traps. I'm gonna go outside and grab some kumquats before they're all gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No.......that's fine....no problem. It all sounds so wonderful and exotic and so different from my sad existence over here. I'm now going to cheer myself up by having a pee and then make myself a fried egg sandwich.....sigh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickinMD Posted April 13, 2019 Share #15 Posted April 13, 2019 I'm partial to Clementines. I guess I should get some soon, though I'm limited to how many I can eat due to type II diabetes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dottleshead Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share #16 Posted April 13, 2019 Is the fried egg like a laxative? Because the fiber in these tangerines are going to open the flood gates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dottleshead Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share #18 Posted April 13, 2019 The tangerine season lasts from October to April in the Northern Hemisphere. The clementine season lasts from mid-November to January. FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Page Turner Posted April 13, 2019 Share #19 Posted April 13, 2019 ...Clementines are an excellent pollinator for Mineola tangelos in the home orchard. In case anyone is interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I'm opening up my heart here and you're all discussing bowel movements. Please accept my apology. It's what I do. If I can't talk sex or politics, that leaves coffee, weather, and bowel movements. I realize this flies in the face of you highly cultivated and sophisticated folk but I feel a genuine responsibility to keep you grounded and remind you of your apelike qualities -- that you gents across the pond like to stuff inside. Think of me as holding your ass to the toilet seat (fire). In the long run, you'll be better for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dottleshead Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share #22 Posted April 13, 2019 Plus the Sacramento Valley is moving into a state of brown so there's some good symbolism going on too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
