Rode by the abomination today and snapped a pic. It is worse since he has added more clutter. Not a good comparison since this is a side view.

In other news, I sent out 27 Christmas cards this weekend. That is way down from BITD when we sent out 80+ with letter and picture. Finally reason won out.

There's an aeroplane themed yard near us. Could it be that bampilot06 moved and is keeping it on the D/L?

The starlings that would hang out in a chimney of a school in NW Portland were pretty impressive, but these guys are taking it up a notch...

LAJ sent me a surprise Christmas card a few years ago. 
I did. After being accused of stalking, I stopped doing that.

I went for a ride, now don't feel like going over to the cantina to see if the patio is empty enough for me to watch football.
Luckily I recently purchased a bag of raw Spanish peanuts and a 6-pack of Two Hearted. So life is good, even though I've been reduced to watching football like this:

I'm beginning to think life has passed me by. I understand all those words but I don't know what it means in totality. You are happy so that's all that matters
Full disclosure: I think you bought some wheels but you might as well be talking about the nuances of wormholes.
Now I know how @seedsbelize feels.

Whereas by contrast, a few weeks ago I was talking to one of our new college grads about how the site we work on is laid out vs other credit card websites, and she said "oh, I never used a credit card website until I worked here; I did everything on apps".

I wish, wife only allows me to do the “traditional” lights.

A single chirp during the shift or it chirps as long as it is in that cog? Lube the derailleur and cable, tighten the cassette lockring.

Yesterday I started solo on the same route some of my friends were doing but a little before they started. I didn't want to do the whole thing they were doing and the French shower guy who says I'm not strong enough was with them. Several miles in I encountered a group of 3 women and 1 man and I knew 2 of the women so they asked if I wanted to ride along with them. I explained who was behind me and that I wanted to see most of them at some point. One of the women said she had heard about our club and came to a ride start over a year ago and the same jerkface gave her such attitude that she went home and never came back until a friend offered to go with her.
Anyway after a while they revealed they were planning the exact route I was doing, complete with extra climbing and a snack stop! The 2 women I knew were "B" riders in my elitist opinion but they have upped their game since the last time I was on a ride with them. One of the ladies was off the back on the climbs but she never sniveled and seemed to enjoy the day. I did get to see my other friends when they caught us at a regroup. Jerk was with them and didn't even say hello to anyone in our group. I had a fun ride and now I know another small group who like the same kind of rides I do.

The Peak to Peak Highway hit's about 10,000 feet at the base of that. After that, folks walk up it. I've ridden by, and I've seen a line of people walking up the trail to the top. It's a 14'er, so people need to get up it. Longs Peak.

City to Shore. Second largest MS 150 in the country. I did it for 24 consecutive years before retiring due to too much craziness caused by so many inexperienced riders. First time was 1992. The 1999 year it was the final leg of my self contained cross country + tour. Despite arriving at home a week before I still rode the first day to the NJ coast with all my gear even though I wasn’t camping. I rode back the second day of the event, but someone drove my gear for me.

I've walked up a l4 er and found it rather difficult.
