I’m hopelessly addicted to imaginary people. I tried FB, but too many people there aren’t imaginary, and they’re kinda assholes. So, if you’ll have me back, I’ll be glad.

My sisters and my Mom and I decided to go to the Catskills today This made me excited. The weather was very rainy this morning. This made me disappointed. We first drove to the cemetery and put some autumn flowers on the graves of family members. This made me happy but also very cold. I discovered that the shoes I wore weren't waterproof after all. This made me wet. Then we drove to the town we used to visit in the summers. We drove by the old house which looked nicely maintained and very pretty. This made me happy. Then we drove to the old restaurant for lunch. My traditional sister got the hot turkey sandwich as always. My wild sister got something different which is why she's wild. But my Mom ordered a BLT which is the first time in decades she ordered something other than the hot turkey sandwich. This made me shocked!!! The End

That I lived in a small house in the country...Snug & well built...with a fire place...and probably a puppy.... a nice 1.5 car garage...with room for bikes and crap (one must have crap in the country)...I have seen some old farm houses that would be perfect..if they were just a bit better insulated and tight... Well...I don't have the money for that...but it is nice to have dreams...especially on a snowy day!.

Amy just finished her Ironman, she had some problems this year

Took a hike with my wife in the early afternoon. We were the ONLY CAR at the trailhead! First time that has ever happened. I decided if the temp stayed above 60*, I would go for a ride when we got home. Thermometer read 60.8* when we got back, so I got in 30 @ 19 - which shows what a little less wind and a few degrees of temp can do for my spirit Then, got home and took my pup for a nice long walk around a neighborhood lake, and verified the ducks were still in place. Now waiting for my wife and our friend to finish making a delicious dinner!!! Tom

Points?

I see the problem with her time. She stood around taking pictures all afternoon.

Jemez mountains. Fenton Lake and FSR.

36 on a club ride and a bat mobile sighting

Yay! Great to see you back RS! I tried to conjure you back once or twice by using the @name thinghy, so I'll take credit. We are real and we are spectacular. :D Real like the velveteen rarebit - worn and such. :D

I just sent everything important to a Nigerian prince. I should be rolling in cash soon so that I can afford your dues.

I ran it through the calculator, the server shut down.

Tell me 60 isn't your lower end limit. 24F here. I went for a 2 hour mtb ride.

We keep scrapers and brushes in the vehicles year around. Never know what might happen at higher elevations even during the middle of the summer. Often interesting to watch tourist deal with snow during the middle of the summer.

I've accomplished my Sunday task. I convinced womaxx to bake an apple pie.

A perfect compromise, nobody is happy.

Remember. Race car spelled backwards is race car.

Busy morning...been doing laundry...a couple of delicate loads to hang dry...just had breakfast and put a load in the dryer...I sat down...and looked up....SNOW On the plus side it ain't gonna last...and it ain't accumulate .

Or on a ski trail or woodsy trail, or best of all, both. I needs to get oot and walk in the woods the next time it snows.

So just you then? No shitkickers or Methodists?

I writ a couple'a books an' load a short stories, but thas all I gots,

Love the peacefulness of snowing.

5 x 4 combos are not all the same. There are redundancies in every case however. The main transmission has wide step ratios, the auxiliary splits it with close steps. 1st gear in the auxiliary is not used when splitting, as it would be redundant. It is useful as a low starting gear, or for an extra available gear for a downshift on a grade without doing a split shift. A typical progression would be 1 & 1 1st 1 & 2 2nd 1 & 3 3rd 1 & 4 4th 2 & 2 5th 2 & 3 6th 2 & 4 7th 3 & 2 8th 3 & 3 9th 3 & 4 10th And so on til 5 x 4 = 16th. Some combos have a close ratio 5th gear in the main that is not split, yielding a total of 14. Been over four decades since I had my hands on one of those, but it's not something you forget. Here's an old cowboy showin ya how it's done.

So, how’s that been working out for you?

Well, I'm in charge of collecting the dues. Shoot me a PM with your bank info, and I can take it from there. It really is worth the cost, and quite posh. Oddly, it also makes posters better cyclists, which is a nice added perk. Tom

A NEW n00b!!!!!! YAY!!!! Finally, the torch is passed! My prayers have been answered. Just have to get the idiot @jsharr and his muppet @Kzoo to rubber stamp this and we'll be cruising into better days! Tom

Yay. I caught you a delicious bass.

I’m sorry to hear. Losing a friend is a heck of a distraction.

It has to accumulate on the road to count...

Happens to everybody. Truth is, the lyrics are like jewelry. They're nice, but the rockin bod, the dress, even the lingerie are more important (most of the time). My wife thought Hendrix sang 'excuse me while I kiss this guy'. That was a good one.

Just (mostly) cleared oot the accumulated mail and swept and vacuumed. Daughter #1 and her long thick hair moved oot so now Ruby took over as the main hair generator! We need a new kitchen floor but I want vinyl and the Mrs. wants hardwood, so we'll live with what we got. Oops! Just acquired another task as we speak!

Oh good. Something to help us through the dark days of January.

Darn Russian judges.

Michael Palin there, he’s from Sheffield, tha knows.

It's in the handbook

I am only partly real

I need a hug.

Some people see things that are and ask, why. Some people dream of things that never were and ask, why not. Some people have to go to work and don't have time for all that. George Carlin

Not at all, you never hear it hardly neither fore nor aft. I can only think of Olde Mother Hubbard, nursery rhyme or some such. I want to try these best ever squash, though, I do so love the blues and the greens, btw, know you the Turk’s Head variety? They not only look great and last long, they eat very well indeed.

At Corning Museum of Glass. BuffCarla with the Jimi Hendrix shirt.

There was a really good tea sample that you sent, one of those with a ton of capital letters, it was awesome and you should get some for yourself. It is one of the 'last chance' teas, and it is pretty cheap for what it was (I think). It wasn't the smoky one, I am not a fan of the lapsang souchongs of the world, although the smell reminds me of camping because it smells like a fire. EDIT: I looked it up, it is this one, I think you would really like it: https://www.teasource.com/collections/last-chance-teas/products/darjeeling-balasun-estate-2nd-flush-sftgfop1-black-tea?variant=3386225754141

AFLAC! That;s all I got.

I like sprouts, I don't have them that often. My wife calls them a gassy vegetable. I never noticed things like that when I was younger. I’m particular about what I eat if I have a massage scheduled or a doctor appointment.

Awwww.
