  1. The local gravel club calls their group rides: Serious Business, business casual, and Party Pace.
  2. Dinner somewhere on Friday. I didn’t mention it as I’m ignoring the prospect.
  3. I’ll be sure to leave all that goodness in Ohio before crossing back into West Virginia. Even West Virginia has standards. How can I consider this a vacation when a) I’m going to Ohio. And b) visiting the outlaws? I’ll start drinking Thursday morning.
  4. Correct. Henrietta Lacks received nothing but attempts to treat her cancer. But @MickinMD may have some genetic super blood that finds a cure!
  5. Next week we are driving to Ohio with three adults and two dogs. We are renting a Chrysler Pacifica through Costco. Pick up the rental at Dulles airport on Wednesday to pack the night before. Plans that I’m aware of are a brunch with Janet the Martyr and Silent Doug. Son of Parsnip will ride with Silent Doug for a golf outing then he will be picked up by a friend who lives somewhere near Dayton for Friday night shenanigans. Wedding is on Saturday afternoon at some farm / barn wedding event place between Cincinnati and Dayton. Drive back on Sunday, return the minivan on Monday.
  6. You may be the next Henrietta Lacks. For those who don’t know, here’s the rest of the story: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henrietta_Lacks
  7. I cannot confirm nor deny. I saw it in the pre-dawn light at a traffic signal. The photo provided is a stock photo off the interwebs. I was surprised to see one as there aren’t many on the roads now. IMHO, investing in one of these is like buying DJT stock right after the IPO; done by enthusiasts rather than investors.
  8. Maybe you should retake the English as a Second Language classes. I think you missed a few.
  9. Still good. Eat away those tasty Old Bay cheese curls!
  10. Do you remember those? I saw one on this morning’s commute. It was in very good shape for the age. No visible rust but at 6:00 am there wasn’t enough light for a better look. Pennsylvania tags. I wonder what his story was. Looked similar to this:
  11. Pool maintenance manager (because my Dad told me to) golf caddy dishwasher and busboy at a restaurant. Bellhop in same hotel. Department store clerk Credit union #1, 31 years: Records, Share Withdrawal, Account Audit, Supervisor, Internal Audit credit union#2, 4 years: Internal Audit credit union #3, 3 years: Risk Management credit union #4, 4 years so far: Risk Management 683 days to second retirement.
  12. Same here. I make a point to call them by name at least once. Retail and Service industries suck because most of the public sucks. It doesn’t cost me anything to be kind and treat them as genuine human beans.
  13. Black coffee is the way to go. It tastes like coffee
  14. You adapted fairly easily to PTJ. Although @Dottleshead still drops an “oldie” from time to time.
  15. Hoping that you find peace in your journey. I don’t believe that I’m alone in knowing you have the talents and skills needed to build a successful next chapter in your life. Vent all you need to here.
  16. Tybee island and Huc a Poos. I miss that guy. If I ever travel there I will ask for the Permit Lady shooter just to see if they have one. And pizza.
  17. Natives in central Mexico originally named the avocado “āhuacatl”, their word for testicle, for the way the fruit hung in pairs from the tree. Remember that when mashing them up for guacamole.
  18. Understand. My kitchen rule 1 is, “get out of my kitchen”. I’m not used to trespassers.
  19. What would you use that for other than a sharp chef's knife and a cutting board?
  20. A motorbike is not the same as a racehome. Although if your attitude is right then they could be. I could see your monkey scrambling on the sides of your racehome.
  21. And that is not near Minnesota, if my geography is correct.
  22. School drop offs are generally cluster fucks with idiots on either side of the equation.
  23. My mom and Dad had twin girls. A few years later, mom’s older brother and his wife have twin girls. Fast forward and a female cousin on Dad’s side (his sister) has twin girls. Then my cousin Matt, son of Dad’s brother has twin girls. We have a tendency towards twin girls on both sides of the aisle.
  24. Nice buy. You can use this: https://gravelmap.com
