Warwick County Park


Rode near there last weekend on the way to and from French Creek S.P. That place used to have the nastiest pit toilets BITD.

Did you climb County Park Rd.?

She thinks she's going with the Navy Smoke Quicksilver or she can get the stock color, Amethyst/Brushed Chrome.

My wife has never had electronic shifting so I set up my Propel for her to try. She said, "I could just ride this." :lol:

And here I thought that road spray on water bottles, while in cattle country, was gross. :twitchy:

Which would obviously mean that you'd need a new bike. I like this line of thinking. :D

That's a fact. Though I doubt that'll ever be on my reading list. Upside to not having kids, I guess.

My boss gave me a similar book called “How to **** in the Woods” or something like that. He gave it to me ever since he heard that cyclists have to make emergency stops. :)

edit: the book is on Amazon.

She is really waffling. Until I see her put a deposit down, it’s not a done deal and even then, the shop said they won’t make her take it when it comes in because they can sell it easily.

Its an outrageous amount of money but she’s earned it.

As long as you have it, you might as well enjoy it. It's not going with you!

We are not big on the idea that parents must leave their kids an inheritance. We tried to give them the fundamentals to succeed (whatever that may look like to them), and the rest is up to them.

This got me wondering in how many different states I have had to do that. I have come up with 5 so far.

I was told many years ago not to finance your children’s retirement with your own.

I feel the same way. My in-laws in the other hand don’t spend a penny. I think perhaps it’s because they are in their 80s and both grew up poor-ish.


My wife is going to inherit something like 100 acres of prime semi - suburban real estate in central CT. Current market value is something north of 7 million. I wish they’d sell some and get something nice, but they’re just not wired that way. My MIL drives a 20 year old Ram 3/4 ton diesel and while they could easily afford a new truck, “I like this one”
