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

Correct. Two trips to the hardware store today, but I'm ready for the impending snowfall.

I remain in a state of readiness, even though there's no snow in the forecast.

Mrs datlas is almost as cautious as your sister.

I have become very tolerant of that but am squarely pro-choice when it comes to masking. I am hopeful she will start to be a bit more relaxed about it but the Dude abides.

Speaking of which, we just re-watched The Big Lebowski last night. It’s a little dated but still worthy.

Yeah reds some tough stuff. Commonly referred to as "permanent" but application of a few hundred degrees frees it right up. Truthfully if this doesn't fix them they are likely going to get scrapped.

truth be told the 20v thing isn't really true. It's marketing. They are taking advantage of overvoltage , and the tools aren't really that picky.

Pops has come down with some type of infection in his digestive tract. He's back in the hospital. He can't keep anything in. This has been going on for a while, and slowly getting worse. We are waiting gor the hospital to get a diagnosis on whatever this is, so far....nothing.

I understand. I'm just talking out my arse which I do on occasion. It's something I know little about. Awesome shovels and awesome Marigold jackets? I'm your man.

marching bands are better than an "Up with people" performance. Barely.

We had an “Up with People” event in our high school, I think I was a junior so that was 1982.

Don’t forget to take FD sticker off once you verified position is correct.
