  1. I'm going for a ride at lunchtime. Alone.
  2. It's called "U.P." (and that's Switzerland anyway, you knothead)
  3. I saw one on a display for some crappy beer contest in Wegman's that had the handlebars on like that and the fork backwards. I would have loved to have won it, just so I could tell them I didn't want it.
  4. Hickory, on the smoker. I put it on the gas grill just to set the sauce.
  5. I do hope you mean the Orbea.... The Pinarello looks like someone beat the hell out of it with an ugly stick, broke it and went and got another one and finished the job.
  6. I'm thinking the apathetic clown at walmart who assembled it. I've seen this before, but never one in the wild.
  7. I think I read something about rolling codes being a problem. My garage door opener is ~20 years old and I don't put the truck in the garage anyway, so I can't be arsed to try and figure it out. Mostly it's just for when I notice I've forgotten to close the door and I'm leaving and am too lazy to walk over and close it.
  8. Fair point, but it wasn't in the rack this morning. But then, someone who hasn't enough smarts to ask the question "is this right?" may be dumb enough to have a bike they push everywhere.
  9. That puts them in a more upright position, and they can at least grab the brakes with their thumbs. Stupid, but there is at least some logic involved.
  10. ....does one ride something like that? Somewhere in the dim recesses of their brain, doesn’t something go “This is awkward and uncomfortable and doesn’t work worth a shit.... I wonder if there’s anything I can do about it....?”
  11. I don’t. I am a tried-and-true dead tree guy. I’ve tried them and don’t like them. I am typing this on an iPad with a cracked screen...because I fell asleep reading an ebook on it and dropped it. SO loves hers and has, on several occasions tried to give me one of hers, but they just feel all wrong - even though there a a bunch of things I read like out of print google books and books in PDF format.
  12. This was about bar tape, but your answer makes slightly sense.
  13. You'd be surprised. The 650bx40's on my Slate aren't that much slower than the 700x28's on my Roubaix.
  14. I don't. They're dangerous. I have successfully avoided the campus bookstore so far this year. OTOH, I went to a symposium on George Washington with TK, at the Fort Plain Museum and found a new dangerous bookstore and doubly so because they do online sales. (Funny: when I just did the search I came up with this page, which shows the book I bought at the symposium....which I shouldn't have, because it was by the only speaker of the day whose presentation kinda sucked....and his book did, too)
  15. Can't say much for the neighbors, though.
  16. My truck is 'spoda talk to my garage door opener. No workee.
  17. It's just you. It looks nothing like an Orbea Orca:
  18. You might be familiar with the sauce and rub I used.... This guy has never steered me wrong. There’s a reason he’s a 5-time BBQ champion.
  19. I know this is foreign to you - given your choice of living locale - but there are these things called “trees” they provide something called “shade”. Contrary to what you believe, “grilling” does not involve hovering over a hot flame, like a hummingbird over a volcano. Even the most finicky of flare-up prone foods don’t require you to do more than momentarily stepping up and moving/flipping them. Yes, princess, the grill is warm, that’s how it cooks, but the total cooking times are measured in minutes. Anything with a lengthy cooking time is largely hands-off. This frees you up to drink beer and/or ride your bike.
  20. Yeah, I did that once. That’s why I have composite, now.
  21. Alien communication? Programmer had a seizure?
