My thought was that the guy should be apologizing to his employees, as well as the community, for being a a**hole who could be jeopardizing their jobs.

I don't know if I'd mentioned it previously, but my "fee" for all of the kitchen work is a new espresso machine - it was something that I'd jokingly proffered and the wife was all too happy to accept. Today, she approached me and asked, "how much is the espresso machine going to be? I want to know how much to set aside for it and the counter tops..." When I told her, she didn't flinch at all. DAMN! I should have shot higher! :lol:

A light plane crashed about a mile from here 45 minutes ago. Helicopters are flying around it. The news said the pilot didn't make it.
Saturday a rider who is a member of my club was killed by a DUI speeder. Just now heard they are going to charge the driver with murder. I didn't know the rider.

About as long as I have been on the forum whenever someone talks about weight, buying lighter parts, saving weight on their bike, etc., people will tell them to take a dump instead, as if that was the answer. Or someone will say to leave a bottle at home. Eventually some clear thinker will say they could do both of those things and still buy the lighter parts.

Well…With all the toting around I do, including on the bike, it might be a financially sound approach. I’m pretty sure we get them for less than retail. When my company iPhone 7 crapped out it was replaced with a 10 R. Guess the price to the company.

I just got another raise. Didn’t even have to ask. Never underestimate the value of obscure skills and knowledge.

I don't know about anyone else, but taking a dump isn't something I can generally do on command. I'm either ready to do so or I'm not.

Still, I gotta admit, it's cheaper than most good quality, lighter bike parts.

More like he's using them as human shields.

That’s what I’ve never understood about reading material in the bathroom. I’m not sitting on the toilet unless I have to do my bidness. There’s no time for reading.
