My garage door is manual. And steel. Because steel is real.

My alarm system app on my phone shows me whether my garage door is open or not and, yes, I do have to pull over and check the app occasionally.

Trying to decide if I should make this my first concert I attend since Covid hit. But dang $63, considering the last time I saw them was with New Order and Gene Loves Jezebel and it seems like tix were $12.

I am willing to consider posting a Saturn pic of the day, but am pretty sure the interest and/or excitement level would be too low.

S2000 might be in my future - but if prices continue to climb this option might be less attractive

I could never use a bottle launcher (seat post cage) because it would interfere with my badonkadonk.
off road - most of us used a camelbak ... sometimes I would also use one small bottle (with Cytomax or similar)

I can't believe all the weekend talk about sailing didn't remind me of this pop classic until now.
