I don't get many days like this, so pardon my vanity! I went 2-0 in my first World League match for Team USA vs Team of the Czech Republic: Not only did Maryland's two NFL teams, the Ravens and Redskins, win: my Ravenskins fantasy team won to go 1-1 on the season: My Chesapeake Bay Retrievers fantasy team went 2-0 on the season: My Sapiens fantasy team went 2-0 on the season I should have played the lottery! How was your Sunday?

Would a different type of bra help?

I bet my Christmas lights are gonna be extra merry and bright!

No falling out. His visit was brief by design. We met, we drank beer, ate wings and chili dogs and pie. Then he is on to the next great adventure. When he's feeling more better we will bike ride somewhere. We never posted much on the Wednesday shenanigans but I was hungover on Thursday.

It's been a terrific four years. While it's likely I'll never actually meet most of you, we are still a family. A modern, internet family. We know each other, support each other and get along well. This has been a great four years and I look forward to many more to come.

Woke up congested so watched the F1 race live instead of in replay as I had planned. First corner crash took out several contenders. Read social media proclaiming the sky is falling because of the Huskers embarrassing loss yesterday. Had to wear cold gear on my bike ride, but not bad otherwise. WoW and I went to a favorite winery and had a pre-anniversary date with a bottle and a charcuterie tray. Very peaceful!

I think mine are due in December. I have to say I'm entirely enjoying all the benefits that come from paying those dues, like the super user powers and features (you know, like setting up my own custom themes) and being able to roll back upgrades on my computer if I don't like them, not to mention premium access to and discounts for the Square Wheels Forum Store.

I have funded the entire site for two more years. We are good to go.

This is how I picture Cheese.. Problem is, he embodies characteristics from all three.

I've posted this before, it's a pic from when we met.

Rode 30 miles with WOChrisL today. She hadn't been on the bike in a couple of weeks so we discussed doing about 20 miles. As such I hammered every little climb and one long one thinking it would be good intervals since it would be a short ride. Except she said you know, I'm feeling pretty good let's do 30 and turned left extending the ride 10 miles when i thought we were almost done.... Man oh man I'm freaking fried but it was a good ride.

Gym. 1 lap of the ole PT exercises, 3 laps around the machines, 200 machine crunches. Hind leg is trending poorer ☹️ Did get 10k+ steps. I guess I'm gonna have to go see a doc about the leg, been 2 weeks and it certainly getting any better. Oh, and I did work up a good sweat.

Did you go see one of those Mennonite doctors with the hand cranked MRI's?

I don't know. The 15yo kid I stole it from only had this one color.

Love? Shit, I can't even get liked these days. The forum has turned..

I kind of love this response. And it's so true.

It's awesome that it's available. One of our toughest, and craziest, recently employed their services, but I'd never call @Thaddeus Kosciuszko out, so if he chooses to tell about it, he will. @bikeman564™ has probably done more centuries this year than I have in the past 5, so I'm far from an expert. That means I'm more like you and not a superhuman like him. I've thought a few times of stopping, as has my wife. There a lot of satisfaction in actually making it to the end, and knowing there's an easy way to get a ride back really helps. You'll make, or you won't.

Saturday evening I was flipping thru the channels and hit PBS. An episode of Lawrence Welk was on. A couple were tap dancing. They both had on nice black suits. I don't watch the dance for more than a few seconds, but before I flipped to the next channel I thought of TheCheesyOne.

This could turn out to be the best (or worst), funniest (or meanest) thread ever! How I picture Cheese

Had a great bike ride. Headwind was brutal in the afternoon going back south. Made averaging 16.5 to 17 mph work. On the morning ride north we were averaging 22.5 to 23. Still had a great time. Too bad @Kzoo couldn't join us for lunch and the afternoon ride. I would have even given him a ride back north if he would have wanted it. We left the Mendon lunch stop about 12:30 and were finished riding by 2 pm.

Just got back from the gym. I am really enjoying the re-row feature. I do 3 x 3000meter rows and do my best to better each. Haven't failed yet but it is getting tough. Did some squats and presses. I will head back tomorrow morning so I can get a noon time nap before heading to UK tomorrow night.

One of the few times I grilled the chicken to perfection.

yes, very much so. I've enjoyed it

they can be pretty

Thanks for creating this virtual home for us, SW!

Show us the cheese

12 more after dinner on the AWOL. 48 minutes, 14.6 avg. I needed ten miles to get over 3,600 for the year.

Just under 56 miles at 15.3 mph avg. Damn near perfect weather except for a few light sprinkles of rain. What wasn't perfect were the roads. A lot of chip and tar and loose gravel. Once section was heavy washboard for well over a mile. It was so bumpy in places that I lost my $35 tail light. That thing is bright enough to see about a mile away during the day. I hop someone picked it up and gets some use out of it. I wish I'd had ridden my touring bike with bigger tires.

You are going to turn them into coconut bikini's aren't you ?

First ride. 33 miles of gravel.

I don't know, but my money's on this forum outlasting the old one.

I gained more than 5 pounds in Old#7's care, btw. It might have been my own doing, though.

I took a short nap and find all sorts of Cheesey hooliganism and wild conjecture! I will sleep again soon.

seen in Washington

This made me LOL in the waiting room at doctor's office.

My count is 9 for the year

Happy Belated Anniversary O' Great Square Thing. I missed the big celebration yesterday. @Square Wheels, thanks for all you do for us. This is my annual "don't be a twit" post. My one time during the year where I'm serious. For all the grief I give you, I appreciate your efforts here. You have a tough job, herding all us cats and some of us don't make your job any easier. Thanks for the 4 great years and here's to many more.

Go for it, it's flat ground and the hundred on flat should be no harder than what you just rode.

I did about twenty before cutting the ride short so I could drive back to Pennsylvania in time for WOLJ to get some sleep before getting up at her usual 2AM. to get ready for work.

Jsharr didn't say anything about inviting RG on this trip...

53 miles on the club ride

The guy hasn't any tattoos, must some sort of jail theme park.

real wife or jail wife?
