My 237s have been great, BTW. Still waiting/hoping that some Red/Black CX-1 come back in stock. Prolly not going to happen, though.

Envious, not jealous.. Just ask datlas. He'll tell you. But good thing I came back.

On our walks the mask does restrict air flow some. We breathe easier without it. But when within 20 feet of anyone, the mask goes on.

I really think about it all the time. The chicken pot pie tonight was not gross.

Bling it up, man. :50:

I wanted you to feel needed. You're welcome.

Forgot to mention I sold the steelie. $950. No shipping. I am delivering it near New Orleans when we go back in a couple of weeks. So two down and one to go. The Ti bike went up on eBay today. That Merlin CR Works frame is sweet.

I would have been tempted had they been available. Long-suffering spouse would have approved.

Whoa! I bet it’s awesome!

Probably the only good thing the lockdown gave us was that there were less of them driving. Now they’re back :notamused:

Were you out on the Beltway during the deep lockdown? Talladega, baby!

Did you get a fortune, too?

I keep looking at the HV Giro Empire's though, dangit.

I’d like some Empires, too.

No :(.

But I made it to my home in silver Spring from Fletcher’s Boat House in Georgetown in 26 minutes at the thick of afternoon rush hour! :roflmao2:

They would have hid the smudges pretty well. ;)

I feel like I need to get some semi-obnoxious shoes. I really wish my Ronald McDonald Lakes were in stock. :(

Oh, and Bah Humbug, there are some folks on one of the CK2G boards that are getting in their 240mm Kono Fuji FMs in W#1 and they're coming in lighter than (they) expected, but bang on with what I want. I've contacted the shop owner and told him to contact me if any get returned. Now I'm tempted to start nudging some people on the boards to return their knives. :lol:

It's not a flat course; they moved a LOT of earth to get that turn 1 hill. Less famous than Turn 1 is the esses going into... turn 12 I think, which are uphill and curvy and don't quite stop your heart like turn 1, but you notice the effort. A lot.

It's a really nice course where a high effort will reward you with 20mph. Love it. Miss it.

I'm not expecting perfection, but it's really unlistenable. Thankfully I figured out that audio is being sent to my main monitor over HDMI and there's a 3.5mm jack on the back of the monitor. Need to bring an extension from home to really make it usable in a non-annoying way. The headphone cable running across my keyboard isn't a sustainable solution :lol:

I've got a Focusrite recording interface at the house that I use as a DAC for my desktop, running into one of those cheap class D amps that drive a set of bookshelf speakers. I rarely use that setup but it's definitely a treat whenever I do. I'm sure some audiophiles would listen in disgust but it sounds great to me.

Sounds complicated.

Except for a few asymptomatic cases, the sick are going to a medical facility and will be tested. And by not finding the sick and isolating and or treating them, aren't you certain to get more of them?

I expect cases to go up because more people are getting tested.

Sounds complicated
