The original one is in Green Lane, near the park. I camped at the park before the starts of some rides, including the Quad Counties, and had dinner at Chiaro's.

The naked guy pic is more obvious than the Camel cigarette one, tbh.

I have recently made strides with my latte art, but I don't think that I could do that... not that I'd want to.

Same. In my day I made some epic cross country drives, but those days are no more.

Exactly. Leave at noon to be in Bakersfield by 8 in the morning. 55mph speed limit, and I-70 didn't go all the way through to I-15. Good thing we installed an 80 gallon "unsafe at any speed" fuel tank that upped our capacity to 120, with the two saddle tanks. I could make it to St. George without stopping.

You must have posted the wrong picture.

Does that mean the virus is still in there being active? This is my root question.

Probably not. It's your immune system dealing with the aftermath of the virus. Think of it as a clean-up operation.

We might get that today.

My dad did this to his 1977 Silverado crew cab, before our big month-long family trip, BITD. He even built a frame around the fuel cell that he covered in carpet, so us kids could sit on it.

That system that hit the midwest is coming here and dumping a ton of rain on us the next 2 days. Then temps will plummet.

I am hoping there will be enough time for roads to dry before the temps go below freezing. If not, there will be more weekend basement fake miles in my future.

Crosswalks a mess? Maybe Manhattan was cleaned up, but I was in The Bronx on Monday and I was surprised how messy the intersections were and how much more snow they got than I got.

That sounds like a B tension adjustment. Pedal backward and pull the derailleur down a bit and see if the jumping stops.

Was that a big rig?

There were some puddles.

14 is about my limit, though there are times that it’s taken my 18-20 to get to my mother’s in SC from here.

Por casualidad, the increments are getting bigger by the day, and I expect to ride a bike within the coming week. The key will be getting it past the naysayers who insist it's too soon. There's an itch building, that will need scratching sooner than later. The first one or two will likely be uptown for supplies. Not much to go wrong there.

seedsbelize2 02-03-22 09:50 AM

Steady, big wind this morning. The electricity is sufferring.

If I'm by myself, I can push it. If I've got my family in the car, I'm not planning on much more than 10 hours of driving in a day.

That stupid wordle game is addictive. I am typically getting the answer in 3 or 4 tries.

So the measurement was one unit.

It’s supposed to be 12 to my mom, but Northern VA traffic can really screw that up

It is turning out that way. The size of the increments during the time the first statement was made, indicated weeks. Those increments have since made quantum(sort of) leaps. But you knew that.
