Yes, but you are genetically gifted. Us fatter people like to carry more snacks when doing a longer ride.

Bah. I ride an R2 with 105 and a bunch of basic aluminum parts.
I would love to try a truly fancy bike sometime - R5 or even RCa with some light tubbies and just see what weenieism is. Or be like whatsisface and get an S5 and give it that same treatment. I can't imagine ever paying for it though.

I believe seedsbelize got the worst of it. The coastal parishes naturally got the majority of it here, with some minor flooding at the lakefronts.

What do you do when you miss that seat. Try again tomorrow? Do you have the option of buying a seat?

It's definitely easier for me to swipe my card than lose 10lbs, long-term. Not cheaper, but easier? Oh yes.

Ha, just as well. Just bought a new house, and will have a brand-new pain cave setup to pay for.

We were going to New Orleans last weekend to check on my MIL (98 yrs old this week) and bring her back to Houston for her birthday. My SIL said better go early, so we backed up a couple of days and got out by Saturday morning. Dry all the way home and nothing to speak of here in Houston. Glad it wasn't too bad there.
Good to "see" you again, sir.

I did some research last night. FYI It takes a
repaired hand tendon 12-14 weeks to heal back to normal usage. I didn't find details on the length of the therapy. And it takes a surgically repaired finger 6 months for the scars to soften to the point that the finger no longer feels like plastic. Wow.

Same in Merida. And, even though things were open, the lines to get into them were extremely long. You had to really want to get into that building. At Home Depot there were thirty people in a line which was not noticably moving

But yeah, like datlas said the best thing I could do is probably lose 30lbs. But at what cost?
