  1. Photo taken by the lady that gets our bum lambs. She and her granddaughter dress the lambs. She found them looking this way and was quick enough to take a photo. I hope you like it.

  3. My husband and I used to take this kid snowboarding all the time. He was about 12 at the time. This was 15-16 years ago. Sort of mentored him, taught him to ride with the big kids. Anyway, he and his family moved away about a decade ago. I messaged him and his Mom about a reunion this Summer, as I have never even seen the Oregon coast. Lame, right? They both replied fairly quickly and are thrilled. He said he is looking forward to it and that he talks of us often. He has married now, and has a new baby. Ironically, he married a gal with the same first name as mine. Which is not all too common of a name. Our plan is to have a bonfire on the beach. I am super excited. There are bike trails out there too. They look delicious.

  6. So I went to a different PB yesterday to see if I could score any final close out deals. Looked around and nothing really grabbed me. Then I checked out the bikes and found a deal too sweet to pass up. Fuji Cross 1.7, AL frame, 105 drivetrain, TRP Sphyre discs, praxis cranks for $500! Originally listed at $1,400. Spoke to the missus after work and got the green light so pulled the trigger on my lunch. I got the last one in my size! The guys at PB don’t even pretend to try & fit yoyu. they just said yep looks your size... I’ll need to dial in the fit myself but that will be easy. They needed some time to adjust everything so I left it there and will come back for it after work. I’ll post some pics later.

  9. ...I've camped outside in every one of those states. It looks like they decided to avoid any place that did not have a bountiful supply of mosquitoes. This is good planning. It will probably cut down on the crowds using the trail.

  10. Yes! I hate to be 1% on all of you though. My Volvo has heated steering wheel heated windshield and heated wiper blades. I think the washer fluid is too insert pinky finger extended while sipping hot black coffee (from McDonald's because it's a $1)

  11. No offense, but what does a Texan know about these sorts of things? Two folks who shouldn't weigh in on this are YOU and @shootingstar.

  12. I’ve ridden all year. Even when we were -30. In fact I rode last night in the middle of an ice storm. Now where’s the remote so I can change the channel without getting off the trainer?

  14. ...the little pull chain on the Cyclo Benelux rear derailleur was busted, and I just managed to find another one on ebay at a ridiculously exorbitant price, but it was easier than making one out of an old Sturmy Archer 3 speed control rod. Which had been my plan. Which is why I had been putting off this restoration. I don't think I'll be able to use the original pedals without crippling myself, so there will be some minor modifications made. It came with the white Bluemels mudguards. I doubt the original or subsequent owners have ridden it much. The guy I bought it from was using it as a wall decoration.

  16. My son and I took my six grandkids swimming a couple weeks ago. When it was time to leave my son had me stay in the water with the almost two year old twin boys while he took the girls in to help them get dressed. He said he knew if he dressed the boys first they would be back in the water as soon as he went to help the girls.

  22. Sorry. I had a moment this morning. Didn't like the prodding. The truck had a warm heater. My bike is here, and I can ride home. People in my hall are dropping like flies from the flu. Pretty much everyone around me has been sick. Luckily, I have avoided it. Was feeling a tad frayed, and today broke me.

  32. "I have made this longer than usual because I have not had time to make it shorter" which is attributed to Blasé Pascal. I will write something then usually remove words and whole ideas making things more concise. Then there's Shakespeare's "brevity is the soul of wit".

  33. Brilliant! LW always knew how to bring it. The drummer steals the show. Is that Gabe Kaplan playing bass? Love how the Maestro brings it all together and makes the group swing.

  34. What? You're cool with him having a bionic arm, leg, ear, and eye. He fights Bigfoot. He runs 60 mph? That's all good, but they f up the opening sequence with different jets and that bothers you? Does it bother you that Lee married Farrah? One of Charlie's Angels marries a dude that doesn't know which jet he should be flying.

  37. Not at the time, but I think we have turned a corner so life is getting back on track. WofZ had some medical issues surface rapidly which kept me pretty occupied, but she is (hopefully) on the road to recovery now.
