Well, landed an internship today. Plans/intentions laid for the past several years had to change with recent events and thus no international traveling, which bums me out. On the other hand, I don't have to quit my "essential services" job to fulfill said internship, so I still get a paycheck. If all goes well, graduation is imminent in August.

Kudos on the internship though!!! August will be here in no time!

Drat! Only caught up to the 8th page..
definitely shipping, but Custom is hit and miss. I didn’t get dinged, but some were (on groupset purchases no less).

Where did you want to go? Maybe MoAlpha can run the blockade in his boat.

I picked up my used sewing machine. Curbside delivery. It looks complicated.
Not sure how sewing qualifies as an essential business, but they were very nice.

Blockade-running- not just Civil War.
I was hoping for Uganda. Might be a bit difficult in a sail boat.

Also, thanks all for the kudos. Multi-quote keeps acting up for me, or I'd add all y'all to this. It's nice to have a funny/sarcastic community focused around one of my hobbies.

I could go for one of their softtail gravellers - the Routt YBB. I'd want a plush fork on there though. I think one of those weird Lauf contraptions would be the only one that would work unfortunately. Unless maybe you can adjust a SID down to 50mm-ish travel.

But there's a local tie-in.
Admiral Farragut, who you, as a student of New Orleans history, no doubt know very well, grew up near here. Farragut, TN, is named after him. I have cycled there many times.*
