I saw ZZ Top in San Antonio on their Eliminator Tour back in 86 Awesome Show! I have KISS tickets for SA on Sept 8 it may be or not be your favorite band but WTH I’m going to see KISS. It is kind of funny my neighbor is all Texas you know Willy Nelson, Johnny Cash that I love! But his wife loves KISS so I bought her a ticket when I purchased the tickets for the group. He relented he is a cool guy and a happy wife is a happy life So we are going to see KISS and I can’t wait. But first I’m cruising the GAP and Montour in Pennsylvania then a section of the Katy. I’m all ready to ride!

Keep doing what you're doing. Mrs. Grouch and I have gotten rid of all of our bikes except for one recumbent trike each. We like it that way but you do have to have the right attitude. Since you're only 50, we've got a few years on you so you have time.

This.
Why care about what people think about you supposedly not caring?

It's fairly obvious I no longer care. I wear braces on my pants....
