  1. Don't get any stupid ideas, Mr. Knievel!
  2. I think I broke the code. Y'all have plans to Annex! Birch Bay was always an easy weekend camping area for the family. There were a lot of birch trees there when I was a kid. Maybe they gave way to development?
  3. Hmmm. Most Canadians just call it the West Coast in Canada. The Pacific North West never included the South West of Canada.
  4. Strange post. What do you mean? There are so many metrics.
  5. I predict you will still want a steak after that orange.
  6. I suggested to the boss we do a high altitude sight seeing trip. He suggested we just go to Barbados. OK.
  7. Too verbose. It is either two words or three words if you prefer to use" , yourself" or ",Sandra".
  8. I have had many types of seaweed and none I need to repeat. Not suited to my taste.
  9. Blue dirigibles are the fastest!
  10. Bo considers him the hot hispanic chick that was kinda forgotten about.
  11. This isn't the Love forum. It was a new and better entity @Square Wheels created as a breakaway. The ones you don't remember either changed names or came from Bike Forums.
  12. I am convinced you are correct. Bo is a dick.
  13. There are a few guys like Thomas Delauer sp? that claim sugar is far more addictive than crack. Best not to cheat at all if you are trying to quit sugar.
  14. I would say Geddy leans toward introvert but they were all very humble. The first real conversation I had with Geddy, we talked riding both bicycles and motorbikes and music. He said at that time that he was just happy to be a working musician. Peart was a solo act. He liked his reading time and cycling solo. All 3 enjoyed performing though. Geddy and Alex were school chums whereas Neil came along later. I think he felt literally the third man in, even though he was so integral to the sound. Deep down, he was probably right. Watch this version of Xanadu. I believe it is one of their best composures with time signatures all over and the early synth stage of the band. Both Geddy and Alex have double necks so Geddy played Bass, synth organ, guitar. Alex played 6 and 12 string with a huge array of pedals. Neil had relatively few electronic sounds and was all over playing the bells etc. Xanadu though, is based on a poem by Samuel Coleridge. Not the lyrics of a pop rock band, for sure.
  15. They were all avid cyclists at various points in their career as well. Alex was a natural at everything. Certainly all sports he played. Many of NP's lyrics were based on Ayn Rands writings. All 3 were great individuals. Super generous with everyone and just normal people. The first show I flew them to was the last time I wore a uniform. At their insistence, it was a jeans and t-shirt tour. If you want insight as to what they were like, there is a YT video of them at a restaurant in Quebec. Many bottles of wine were consumed.
  16. Machka and Rowan? She no longer posts on BF either. Stopped in 2017. Just checked her blog. Rowan had an accident in 2023 and I gather that changed a lot for them. I think he was/is unable to work so their finances have taken a hit. Stressful times. She was a really nice gal and an avid brevet rider.
  17. They are known to be musicians, musicians for their technical skills and lyrics. Geddy held a huge presence being the bassist, keyboard, some percussion and only singer. Peart was a top 3 percussionist for me and Alex, a top 40 guitarist. As a trio, top 10 for sure.
  18. Is the restaurant named Salvador Deli?
  19. The problem with housing and club boards is they attract the wrong kind of people to run them.
  20. Yeah, when did that become a thing?
  21. Exercise and diet is how you live but not why you live. Take rest days, 2 per week with a third on alternating weeks.
