My grand pup! 34 lbs & growing!

...they could not keep up. Boom!

@Parr8hed took some pics

Wouldn't know, as I don't normally watch other people in a bathroom.

Lets put together a date for Forum hello on Zoom. I am pinning this for RG

Installed the brakes, derailleurs and shifters on the frame last night. Tore down, cleaned and repacked the rear hub and installed the 10 speed cassette. We both wore shoes and Ryan wore a shop apron. I forgot to take pictures.

...from work. Haven't fired it up yet nor begun the process of making sure everything works properly, but at least is has the fresh Dell smell I got the darned one with a number pad though, so it's definitely a little heavier than my current one. Considering we're WFH for a while more, that's not an issue, but if we get back to regular commuting, less (lighter) is better.

I must have been easy. When my company terminated me in 2012 they had us in a conference room first thing in the morning to explain our termination packages and rights along with signing some paperwork. Then my supervisor was allowed to escort me back to the lab to pack my stuff (extensive sets of custom tools for the micro work that I specialized in). He trusted me to stay for a couple of hours while lots of people stopped by to express shock at what the company was doing as it was about 5 months before my full retirement time. When I was done I turned over all the documentation that was not in the computer system along with all my passwords, badge and keys. I asked my supervisor to come examine what I was taking with me so there would be no misunderstandings later. His attitude was "we trust you" and he helped me cart it all to my car. In return for being a well behaved leaver I have gone back a couple of times as a temp to work on projects that I specialized in that they had no well trained people to handle. They do have to pay a premium price for my time however.

Drop a few lbs. and you’ll kick her butt. (Runs and hides)

OK, I won't bore you all with another video, but the solar system is up and running, and the electrical room is done. I still have to string the lines to the outlets toward the back, but at least it's alive.

I know right? Those finger nails are awful

Nosotros llevábamos pantalones, zapatos y camisas, pero no sombreros.

I knew that part would get 'you' excited. I am not that interested in the secondary stuff, mainly getting rapid readings that will allow me to respond without all the finger sticks. We'll see what the specialist thinks about those concerns. I could always tell her a 'fib', that I still use a flip phone. By the way, it works, as I have a friend that got one, and it has helped his control immensely and lowered his A1C. That is what prompted me to go forward with the request.

We all believe in you.

Flex seal

That's gross.

Person 3 Finishes "business". Wipes up. Leaves stall. Whole damn bathroom now coated in TP dust because some moran bought the "good stuff"! Humanity sucks!

It is a test of patience for sure. I stay positive and kind, even when she goes about 1 mile an hour. She does try hard. That is all I ask of her. To keep pushing and trying hard. She lives up this steep hill. She rode half of it, yesterday. There are two sections that are not as steep. The great part is that she rode the last section right to her driveway, and her Mom saw her. I was cheering her on the whole time. I thought it was a good ending of the ride. During part of that hill she got very frustrated. I asked her to dig deep and try again. Push the pedals as hard as you can. She said "Ok, I will." She ended up being successful at pedaling the last part right to her home. It was a significant victory. Also, I got her to ride down this steep grass hill that she crashed on last year. She crashed and cried last time. Now, she has a better bike. I said "Will you try this again for me? Do you trust me to follow down me down the grass hill again?" She hesitantly said "OK. I will follow you, again." She made it down. She said it was scary. I told her that scary is fun. She does like the idea of doing things that others won't try. I told her Mother that I am molding a little adrenaline queen. The best thing that she said to me yesterday was that she told me I am a great teacher. Such a cmpliment.

"Records are made to be broken—even hair-brained, statistically improbable feats of chutzpah like the coast-to-coast driving trial known to auto enthusiasts as the Cannonball Run. Recently, a trio of relatively unknown perpetrators completed the unregulated run from the Atlantic-to-Pacific in a scant 27 hours and 25 minutes, shaving an hour and 15 minutes off the previous record of 28 hours and 40 minutes set in 2013 by Ed Bolan and Dave Black." https://www.forbes.com/wheels/news/cannonball-run-record-smashed-drivers-race-across-america-in-27-hours-25-minutes/

Another local that I adore riding with. Her and I toss the crowns back and forth. I take some from her. She takes some from me. She is faster up the hill and I get pushed. I push her through the techy bits. She took my QOM by one second this morning. Looks like I need to pedal a little faster. Really fun when you have someone that is fast to ride with. Way more fun than virtual masterbation against yourself.

Lets put together a date for Forum poop on Zoom. I am posting this for DH Flushing A Toilet May Promote The Spread Of Covid 5:30 p.m A new study published on Tuesday found that flushing a toilet can expel feces-laden aerosol particles into the air that may lead to the transmission of the coronavirus. A toilet flush can push out tiny droplets into the air. Simulations by scientists showed that showed 40 to 60 percent of those particles rise above the toilet seat. After about 30 seconds, some of the particles rose as high as three feet above the toilet seat. "It is reasonable to assume that the high-speed airflow will expel aerosol particles from the bowl to regions high in the air above the toilet, allowing viruses to spread indoors causing risks to human health," the study reads. The scientists noted that oral-fecal transmission is common among other viruses. Moreover, vomiting and diarrhea are two well-documented symptoms of COVID-19. But although the virus been found in the feces of some patients diagnosed with COVID-19, it is not clear whether a person can contract the disease through touching or inhaling feces. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there has not been any confirmed case of the virus spreading from feces to a person.

I like Dylan’s singing. I went through a period of time where he’s all I listened to. You should hear me singing Sad eyed Lady with him.

Is this you?

take a wingman?

Yeah sure but not to the chalkboard!

You don’t work at the post office do you?

I’d post another, this one makes you look like a scared squirrel.

I’ll try to update this thread periodically as I have cell coverage. A proof of life kinda deal.

Congrats on a fine parody!

Be nice to Eleanor. She looks up to you.

magenta skins, my idea. As in potato

which box are we talking about again?

I'd still hit it.

Hope you have a good one I'm riding w/ few friends this evening, then tacos

Perhaps for classic literature but it seems okay for the post modern genre. Tea?

Definitely a bell for those times she needs to pass someone else.

Spent the last 12 years of Scouting as a Cub Scout Leader, did most of the jobs in a Cub Scout Pack, but the majority of my time was as a Cubmaster to a large Pack of almost 100 Scouts and then a District Committee Member for the largest district in the Dallas Area. Served as the membership chair, Camporee Chair, and a Camp Commissioner for all the other big events in District. Also served as a presenter for Join Scouting nights and Friends of Scooting Fundraiser events. Lots of speaking, lots of leadership, In my new role as a Scoutmaster I have to learn to lead from behind, to mentor, advise and to step in only when necessary. We truly are a boy led troop. I have been very stressed and worried the last two or three months as the leadership as the leadership transition date approached. Sometime on Friday night it hit me that I do not have to speak or lead with words. I have to lead by action and be prepared, but that my Senior Patrol Leader, an Eagle Scout, and his leadership team have to do the work and that the adult committee that supports me all help with that and that my job is be the Scoutmaster. I do Scoutmaster conferences, I advise the Senior Patrol Leader and his staff, but I do not have to do it all. It truly was an epiphany. I literally heard a voice telling me that Luke, the SPL, had it all under control. I slept well Friday night and the annual program planning conference for all the new Boy Scout Leaders went off pretty much without a hitch. Ended over an hour early and we got every single thing on the agenda done. Only time I spoke was to do the Big Rock presentation on time management and do the story of why Geese fly in a V to talk about team building and supporting each other. Really looking forward to the next three years. I fully expect parents of Scouts to be my biggest obstacle. Have you ever had a change in your career or life that required you to learn a new leadership style? Thoughts? Input? Suggestions?

It's the kind of test you don't usually flunk.. unless they found something really really BAD. You just get areas of opportunities for improvement. Yeah I passed... WoBG was surprised... Then of course she wanted to meet my boss to offer some suggestions too. I was doomed... a wife at home and a woman boss. I should have know they would have liked each other.

day 147 yesterday...did a 4 mile bailoot ride. I"m getting tired of all this riding

Hot and bitter.

Transformer troubles. Megatron fixed it later in the day.

And I was just gonna type tl;dr. And then ask for the Readers Digest version. And maybe read it later in the computer. It is too long on the phone.

No idea, but this seems like a fun new toy for you to test out!

I would have let you have some of our gently used TP.

OMG, that kid is adorable! Glad she has a better bike and her mom saw her doing some impressive work on it. Good leadership, DH!

Kirby wants to know if she is going to eat all that herself?
