Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Gotcha, I'll keep that in mind

I already ordered the parts, so I'll keep the drill away for now.

Uh oh. I hope all ok. Check with MoAlpha but if you felt sharp right after you came to, a seizure is unlikely.

High school chemistry. We made that discovery. And potassium too. We smuggled it out to my friend's farm pond. The sodium was like a series of firecrackers and the potassium was just one mushroom cloud.

It had rained and then froze and then snowed on top of the ice. I couldn't stop and was heading to a T intersection so I steered into a pile of snow which turned out to be a boulder.
Studded tires make really cool scratch patterns on the floor of a dealership service bay.

That's scary. Happened to a friend a few weeks ago but the docs didn't find anything.

Oh, no! I assume they're thinking about the possibility of an embolus from that valve. Don’t hesitate to PM with questions and I hope there’s a definitive and innocuous answer soon.

When we lived in the city, I used to take the dogs to a park with a dry lake at dry season. I ate breakfast when I got back home. On one occasion I passed out atop a large rock pile, and came to as my face struck the rock.Very disorienting. The doc attributed it to too long between meals. Sounds like it might be something else on your case indyfabz .Positive thoughts.
