How I Came To Have Two Grabbel Bikes.
JerrySTL replied to Johnny Come Lately Name's topic in The Café
I'm thinking some JB Weld would do the trick. -
24.51 miles on the road bike.

A Tesla just pulled up! Damn. Not a rider. Two riders just showed! Off we go.
-
If no one shows in the next few minutes, it will be a group of one. The weather is a little dodgy plus there is another club ride that is more fun this morning. I am leading the "turtle" ride and the other ride is for the "turbos".

Nope. However I tend to say Jag-U-war instead of Jag-war.

My oldest daughter spent her early years in England and that's how she pronounces it to this day.

There's an old book titled Mythical Man-Month Basically it says that doubling the number of people working on a project doesn't cut the time in half. Often it causes things to take much longer due to training or just the fact that new members of the team might not be any good.

I'd oversee the entire Air Force. Just sayin'.

23.26 miles on a windy group ride.

I once worked on the third story of an office building. One day the electricity went out and the fire alarm came on. Time to take to the stairs! Except that the doors from the office to the stairs wouldn't open! Seems that they used electromagnets to hold the doors closed until the code was punched in when entering or pressing a button when exiting. To keep someone from breaking in just by turning off the electricity, they had a battery backup for the magnets! Great except that the button to exit didn't work with the battery. Another guy and I climbed into the ceiling and disconnected the batteries so that we could escape. Thankfully there wasn't a fire.

Next time I get the urge to be a nice guy…

Have you considered switching careers to becoming a government bureaucrat? You could be a natural. -
This parody has me green with envy.

17.1 miles with WoJSTL on the Schwinn Twinn Tandem. 20 mph winds on the way back home. There was a wild turkey running alongside of the bike going 17 mph for a half mile.

The public speaking part. My instructor in military academic instructor course told me at graduation that she didn't think that I'd make it to graduation. A couple of years later I started working on my BS in Occupational Education to improve myself. Once I started being an adjunct facility member at a local college, I actually started liking teaching plus the money was pretty good for a part time job.

Food poisoning is a great weight loss plan. I had a severe case from eating a fish sandwich at a restaurant when I was 15 YO and to this day I don't like to eat fish.

Religious vocations? Less than zero. In the other sense of the word, I'd say two. I wanted to become an aircraft mechanic as a child, so I did. Later I was drawn towards database work. Being an instructor both in the military and college level certainly wasn't a vocation. I had to work too hard to be good at it and really didn't like it all that much.

I thought that MIL's went into the back seat and a Del Sol doesn't have one.

I don't have Netflix so I'm not sure. Heck I'm subscribing to 4 other streaming services right now. I need to dump a couple.

Job? What's that?
-
I read The Three-Body Problem. Excellent. Let us know if Shards of Earth is any good.
-
30.5 miles on the tandem.
-
I look for "pull throughs" also.

Jumping out of a perfectly good aircraft is something that I can't wrap my head around. Having a pilot practicing jumping out of an aircraft might give me nightmares.
