Mrs. rjones28 is all Apple. The Catalina iOS update to her iMac was traumatic.

The quintessential CNY guy wears shorts and a t-shirt year 'round. The only concession to the cold is the addition of a down vest for temperatures below freezing.

I had a Cybertruk on order but cancelled it because I decided that it wouldn't fit in my garage.

So, I need some advice on something, and you people are as good as any to give it.
Some of you know what happened to my old club. How one member tried to stack a meeting and basically stage a coo and take over the governing body from a couple of people that had held the club together for literally years.
The couple were ride director and president at the time, myself and a dozen or so members all quit the club in protest.
The guys I ride with on Thursdays and on zwift were also in this club and most quit and joined other clubs.
I refuse to have anything to do with the people that caused all the problems. including ride with them or any ride they are on.
There is this effort by some of the Thursday guys to try and reintegrate those people back into the group. I want nothing to do with it.
Yesterday, he was on the zwift ride. I thought about it for about 2/3rds of the ride, then ended my participation in the meetup. I finished the ride just not with the group.
He is on the invitation list for the next ride.
I'm a little pissed at my buddy for inviting this guy, they know how I feel about him. I kind of feel like I got stabbed in the back. Again.
I haven't accepted the invitation at this time. I'm not likely to if he's on the list. I think my buddy is being passive/aggressive handling this in this manner. He should know I won't let this stand.
Im going to miss riding with them. But I won't risk my other friendships over this guy.

4.69 for a bottle of water. What kind of country are we living in. I hope they accept monopoly money.
