  1. And you're still around! That disparity starts to be important and clearly makes the older guys (especially tall w/ teeth) more in demand! I can't imagine what another decade adds/subtracts rom the list, but "a pulse" might be it.
  2. Had that happen a few times on the old door/opener. Happy I wasn't in the garage when it did as it sounded like a gun shot, and I imagine would have scared the shit out of me.
  3. He doesn't mind they're not plumb? Great pics!

    Drat! I thought this as a cycling topic! I bet @maddmaxx has a pile of those plane documents in his guest bathroom linen closet.
  5. Yep - when you ride for pleasure and not pay, the math is pretty straightforward - will this be enjoyable or not? Heck, dark and rainy brings in "is this safe (enough) or not?" and at our ages, tempting fate is best kept at a minimum.

  7. Virtual friends, dude! Like @jsharr!
  8. Give it a few years, and the chips in our brains (not the COVID ones, but the ones we elect to implant) will take care of that in the "background" and no phones will be needed.
  9. I chose "detached" because I ASSumed were considering them the "free" ones.
  10. I do wonder about the A -> B nature of fat/salt/sugar leading to artery clogging, obesity, kidney issues, or any other diet issue. It seems way more varied than that to me. I do think, for the folks who see early that it DOES lead to bad outcomes, they need to nip it in the bud and adjust ASAP. But I think many folks can eat a lot of that stuff and still be healthy - either through luck, moderation, and/or activity. Other folks seem screwed no matter what they do. And far too many just stick with eating that way despite knowing it isn't the best system for them. Probably worst are the folks who try but in a way that neither makes things better nor improves life in general - ie jumping on yoyo diets or replacing real sugar with "fake" sugar or processed health foods instead of un- or low-processed whole foods.
  11. I knew you were going there. Legally, @jsharr couldn't. And if he did, I would have had my posse pick him up and get the bounty. He better be careful.
  12. Generally, the best way to make delicious food is to add fat (lots of butter) and salt. Sugar too, sometimes.
  13. How far before? One nanosecond? One hour? Four hours? Or 12 hours? I mean, we need more details to show how wrong you are!

  15. Man! That could have been snow and/or ice! What did we do to piss off the weather gods????
  16. Nope, but I can see doing it with spaghetti. Not sure why folks (and I) don't but we usually just dump the box into the pot of water and call it a day. Would only take 5 secs to break them in half.
  17. ...but is it precise?!?!?!?
  18. GRAPHITE, man!!! Use your phone! Jeebus, do we have to fact check everything these days???
  19. I am sure this changes over time - especially with aging or injury - but to me, how one lives "normally" is not too different from how one lives on vacation. Visiting family or a trip to a foreign country still have me essentially being true to myself - ie not sitting on a couch and stuffing my face but also not seeking out the nearest gym so I can hit the treadmill for 2 hours. Luckily, on a trip, I tend to be walking all over the place - or better yet - riding all over the place, and the biggest difference of all to my eating is that I make room for dessert as often as I want. What I find, though, is that I don't actually always want dessert and come to some happy medium where I am not depriving myself as much as sated and being more picky. In general, I am a sucker for tiramisu but after maybe two of those in a week, I'm good until next time. I'll try something else and/or not want dessert at the next meal.
