  1. We took Smokey on a adventure walk near a popular MTB trail system I often ride. The trail system starts in a county park. As we were walking back to the car I saw this thing. It has several common tools tethered to the post, a pump and a rack to support your bike during repairs. I have never seen such a thing.
  2. I guess I really don’t think or dwell on it so I’m struggling to think of anything.
  3. Oh man, thanks! Let me see if I can get his head in box this time!
  4. In the image the guy actually has a head but I couldn’t format it to fit in the avatar... the original image was saved to an old PC that is long gone now so the headless rider just stuck... If I ever mess with my avatar I’d actually like to get that guys head back in the picture.
  5. I gotta say my hardest rides were races back in the day. Some of those crits were just on the rivet for an hour with a couple of prime sprints thrown in for fun. When I progressed to a point where I was placing and consistently top 10 (and one win!) I would finish so wasted I couldn’t stand up for several minutes. I remember sitting in the street just heaving trying not to throw up and seeing my quads throbbing. My hardest overall physical & mental efforts were not on a bike but during marathons and military training. Going all day long for miles & miles with 100 lbs of gear on you is a total physical & mental drain. The police academy had some tough moments but not as bad as the Army.
  6. The media focuses on Donald & Ramsey but the D line is really good without Donald, exceptional with him. The secondary other than Ramsey is young & good. It really depends on Goff & how he plays... I’m starting to not be a Goff fan. His erratic play is maddening.
  7. Smokey gets them up around 5 am most days so yeah that’s going to be a rough adjustment if the kid keeps them up all night...
  8. Actually I think they will be fine though. My daughter & SIL are truly outliers for kids their age... Both are 27 YO, between them they are making close to $200K, home owners & now a kid on the way. Couldn’t be happier for them.
  9. I helped my son in law set his up a couple of weeks ago in their garage. He bought a bad ass rack system and the bench fits in the rack. Pull the bench out & the rack can be used for squats. He’s getting a pulley system for it next. I told him to get it rigged up before their kid arrives as it will suck him dry!
  10. Dunno, I haven’t been out of my building all day... The article is a bit misleading for LA. The City of Los Angeles has a living wage of $15. But the CA minimum wage is $14.
  11. Wasn’t Dora a fiction of one of you feckers imagination? I totally fell for it if so... I also remember one of the LF ladies, Smartblonde maybe getting all sorts of pissed off over some of the Dora posts. Classic LF
  12. Yeah she sang a really sexy happy birthday to JFK. Oh wait...
  13. Jackie Kennedy was a pretty chic lady back in the day. Edit: Laura Bush if you like the Librarian type. Melania is OK if you like that type. Nancy Reagan was my all time favorite First Lady though. She was a looker back in the day but I actually met her once and she was really sweet. We did a detail at the White House and as we were all leaving we hear “boys, oh boys!!” We turn around and there is Nancy holding a basket of sandwiches & chips and an aid with a bucket of beer on a cart! Now make sure you drink those when you get back OK?!?! Yes ma’m! She shook our hands and thanked us for working the event. Classy lady. We ate the sandwiches on the drive back and split the beer up for later. Our Ops Sergeant saw us come back with the beer. SFC Secrest, a grizzled chain smoking NonCom from Bahwstawn. Whea da faaahk ya get tha beeeah?!!! Nancy Reagan! Nah sheeet really!?!?! Gimme one! OK sarge!
  14. I believe @petitepedal used that as he avatar back in the day. Is that her or someone else? BTW I love the classic jerseys with panels, I’d wear one like that.
  15. Yeah Saints Bucks should be a good match up too. Brady & Brees, I think the Saints take that one too. I hope your prediction is wrong but odds are high it’s right.
  16. I know I should be thankful yadda yadda but my wife’s riding passion has become a complete PITA for me. Shes mechanically inept so isn’t comfortable riding without me for fear of flats. So I’m forced to ride the road with her. Did I mention she’s mechanically inept? Pumping tires absolutely frustrates her so I get to prep two bikes pre ride. She will do bottles though. Then there is this pre ride joy: I always pick the ride, you pick. Route A: no too hilly. Route B, no too long. Route C, no I don’t want to ride near the beach, let’s just do route D... OK... Then we repeat this drill the following week and so on. I also screwed myself by getting my old cycling buddy back into riding. Now twice a week I get the joy of a road ride. My wife has been nagging me lately for a mid week ride not with my friend and I had to put my foot down on that. No way in hell am I doing three road rides a week, you want to ride mid week join us on Thursdays. I just want to ride my mountain bike...
  17. I am wearing my hair a bit longer these days and my wife often giggles at my whackadoo hair in the morning. Although still relatively short, this is the longest she’s ever seen it in 33 years.
  18. I often wondered if that was a real jersey or is it shopped? Did you guys make those up back in the day?
  19. Mad respect for Aaron Rogers, the Pack & their fans. Rogers is a Cal guy so I have been following him for a while being a Pac 10/12 fan.
  20. What is the weather forecast for tomorrow?
  21. Yeah this is a tough one to call. I’d be nervous if I was a Bills and a Ravens fan. How does either D stack up? I really haven’t followed either team closely this year.
