Ditto. 36 and I rarely finish a glass of wine or a beer.

Vain, But Lacking Talent
It helps that I never partied in my youth. (Wow, it feels really weird to say "in my youth") So I don't have a lot of bad memories of hangovers. Every other month or so I'll have a strong cocktail or two and that's just enough to make me feel great without any bad after effects. There was a time just a few years back where it was nearly a nightly occurrence and that wore on me. I was dealing with some stuff...

Around $1.80 here and I have been daily driving the El Camino. It's rough around the edges "rat rod" vibe gives it that perfect end of the world feeling as the world around me gets ever so quiet.

In college we got ripped every weekend, beer and cheap wine. We had to travel maybe 5 or 10 miles to a wet county to stock up, didn’t matter.

I rather enjoy the gray area of having a buzz but not being drunk. I'm a cheap date, so one decent beer will usually do the trick. It's rare that I have multiple beers, unless it's over the course of hours. This ties in to another factor that limits the appeal of liquor for me - the dosing makes is easier to overdo.

Some might be interested in a "Post your dogs" thread over in C&V (of all places). As we know, animals have a wonderfully calming effect on our nerves.
https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-v...ur-dogs-8.html
Start from the last page and work your way backwards until you reach the older pages where the missing photos just get too annoying.
There may be a cats thread also somewhere for all you cat fans, somebody please let us know if you find one.

I worked at a new car dealer where they had an underground tank installed but the filler was badly designed and leaked when it rained. Dozens of new cars were fueled with the water/gasoline mix before anything was done to fix it. I drained a bunch of cars that year.

I'm only on page 407, but if I don't reply, I'll forget. After deleting my old fb account, I signed up under an assumed name, so I can see the goings on in my local village, and no one who knows me can find me.
In the lockdown, people are dreaming if they think 3 weeks will be enough. Dreaming. I forgot the rest.
Busy day!
