God, I love them at that stage. Enjoy it brother, they fly away so soon.

Anyone wanna pitch in on a racetrack and 100 acres of surrounding farmland? I'm in for a 1/50th share.

Awww, lil cat burrito!

Luckily our cat gets by without nail work. We just have to get her a new cardboard scratch pad every 9 months or so

Storm coming in. The power went out and instantly came back on. Lightning strike.

And now the distinct smell of rain

I’m not sure, but I don’t think they’re the warm breeze and blue rum drink kind of islands

I'll live on the 100 acres and not have neighbors.

I’ve mostly traded Oscar for a peloton. Which PCad gave me quite a hassle about.

Poor Oscar.

Wonder if Velo Vol will post "that picture" from the Peloton ad.

Took the bike out for a little spin to get the sealant all good and distributed. At first blush, the wheels feel pretty nice. Very smooth. The hub is more subdued than I'd like, though - how is a hub that quiet supposed to herald my approach to the MUPpets?

I've been told to call them back in another four hours, if I haven't heard from them first. Thankfully, I've been given a direct line so that *knock on wood* I don't have to wait in queue for another 15-20 minutes.

:popcorn

I still have hope, but I figure with low expectations, anything good will be like icing on the cake. :)

Chocolate icing?

Yuck. I’d rather drink vodka, but yes.

This woman has lived on islands since she graduated from college: South Caicos, Iceland, Ireland. I see her a couple of weeks a year. Enjoy that daughter of yours.

That includes any sort of football. :(

That's annoying.

The pain comes and goes but I meet with an orthopedic next week to find out what the long-term deal is. In the mean time I bought one of those hanging upside down tables which actually helps a bit.

Probably too much peloton. :innocent:

Glad I check my tires before every ride. This lovely shard of glass was stuck in my front from yesterday’s ride.
