Thank you, @RollCNY. It's good to see you're still sort of on the bike, but better yet, still hitting life with some gusto.
On the dogs, we have Golden Retriever/Lab mix that a breeder friend was doing a last liter of, and that is how we got one of our dogs. Having never had a Golden, I now know why they are so popular. We also have a Cavalier King Charles. Their popularity is more of a mystery.
Thanks for the Christmas rehash. 5 stars. Does not disappoint.

how much time will they have to react? Feds tell governor who dithers a bit then he tells someone else who tells county or local school district and by then it's over.
Why frighten kids for something that is unlikely to happen and if it did, the Fumble ****s in charge fail to execute the plan. These jagovs cant even decide whether or not to cancel school when snow is predicted.

I was a browns fan, fairly avid, right up until they traded their future for a sex offender. I saw Baker Mayfield's first start in Oakland. In the 4th quarter, the Browns were up by I think 21 and Raiders fans started leaving. I told them "You're playing the Browns, you might want to stay." Oakland one in OT.

Gusto I still got. I hit motorcycles like I did bikes when I started cycling again. I broke a bunch of fingers in 2017, and where it hurt to hold handlebars, I figured I could learn how to twist a throttle. Four motorcyles and 55,000 miles later, yep, I figured out how to twist a throttle. Two Easters ago I crashed in Southern Virginia, and took three days to ride home. Good times.

Thank you. It's a little dark around here now.

Bah Humbug delayed congrats on the nuptials. Funny I didn't remember that, it was mid-2016 that I moved and got scarcer. I remember in the thread when you started dating. Tri-girl, right? And if I'm wrong, dementia runs in my family so its better not to correct me.

After a few brutal years in Phoenix, AZ I'm now in beautiful Flagstaff, AZ looking forward to some fresh snow tonight.

Nice. Looking at the thread, are you a pilot? A buddy of mine is a retired Lt. Col. from the 274th, and he pilots for Alaska Air now out of Seattle. He talks about only grabbing flights that he finds interesting.

Dearest Ramona passed away in December 2021. I never made announcement here because I didn't wanna believe it for a long time, then by the time I was halfway coming to terms with it I still didn't know what to say.

Never ask a man if he is a pilot. If he is a pilot he will tell you in the first sentence.
I really didn’t pick a creative user name when I joined this place. I had a question that needed answering and never left.

I did the bulk of my cycling on a single speed, and one of the best Bike Forums lines I heard was : "How do you know someone rides a single speed? Cause they'll tell ya."

Since I'm going off tonight here is some more news. My wife has skin cancer on her ear and scalp. I just found out today. I guess surgery to remove it will be forthcoming. I don't think it will be too major but anytime you hear cancer it is scary. Her sister died of breast cancer at age 47. She got it before even turning 40. How cruel.
In more positive news we were approved as fosters for dogs at a shelter my wife volunteers at 2 days a week. We had our training last night. We might bring a foster pup home for Roscoe to play with. He's only got so long left and we want him to have as much joy in his life as possible.
Life is so damn complicated.
