They'd recently moved from the big house with a barn they'd lived in for years into an apartment/townhouse in a 55+ community. He was describing all the stuff he found in the barn that he'd accumulated over the years - like a bunch of electric motors that he was "going to fix someday." .

I rarely keep track of total mileage during or for the year. But today I realized I passed the 1,000 mile mark today. Not bad considering I haven’t been riding like normal. I’ll bet at least 3/4 of them have been touring miles. Makes me wonder what other years have been like.

The only time I’ve come close to seeing stars like that was after the first night of Cycle Oregon in 2002. We camped on a cattle ranch in the middle of nowhere in eastern Oregon. The campsite was maybe a mile off the highway. Dry and cold that night. (I woke up with ice on my tent poles.) The ride organizers suggested that, despite the cold, we stick our heads out of our tents to look at the sky. I had to take a leak in the middle of the night and did just that. Amazing. I didn’t want to go back in the tent, but the cold finally got to me. |
Today I discovered that, even with a small Costco run thrown in, I can get to the city, do my errands, and get back home much more quickly and economically on public transportation. With the added bonus that I don't have to drive, or look for parking.
:bday: The public transportation alone is reason enough to live in Mexico. |

Imagine a tape measure with no smaller increments than a mm. Even I can see that.

Huh? I have that same collection. Though my plan is to rig them up to something, like a drill press perhaps.

My wife also expresses a strong preference not to drive to the extent that I am or can be available to chauffeur her, despite we having bought her a more expensive car and her criticism of my driving. |

Obviously, she expects genejockey to chauffeur her outside that narrow time frame.

No, but I saw a bunch of TdF crashes. The Highlights Reel.
meanwhile, the driver’s car went airborne after flipping over and sliding across the track upside down. He landed in the fence. Walked away with no injuries. |

Just get them self-driving Teslas. Then they’ll leave you sooner and richer (after the lawsuit is over).

Most likely only the "sooner" part. Generally, only the named plaintiff(s) and their counsel get "richer" after a class action lawsuit. The rest get an insignificant sum and/or a voucher for future products to the extent that the defendant does not declare bankruptcy.
You sue Tesla for wrongful death as the surviving spouse (make sure you are really married). You and your lawyer get rich. |

Horrific crash at turn 1 that brought a red flag full stop on the track. At the same time, and not knowing of the crash, protestors got over the fence on the opposite side of the track to sit in a row across the track. Their plans were totally screwed up by the crash.

This course of action is premised on the presumption that one can afford counsel who is willing and able to litigate effectively over the course of a lengthy civil suit against the legions of attorneys which Tesla will deploy to defend such a case. In which case, one is already rich, and can easily afford a chauffeur for one's spouse.

Makes a bike crash look like dominoes. Oh wait, that's what they are. |
From the board rules and guidelines which no one seems to read:
“In addition, the "masking" of vulgarity by inserting * or another keystroke in place of one or more letters in a vulgar term is unacceptable in most cases. It will also be impermissible to anagramize a word to bypass the filters.” Just thought that I’d remind people. :innocent: |
