Dang I hadn't used that since the '90s, but used to all the time when that TV show came out. I had no idea about the grunge speak hoax back then though.

And now the 3-DVD set will be arriving by January 20th.
I wonder if I should've spent $21 for this sealed copy instead of the $12 I spent for Used, VG...

While I like the idea of a new car, I’m actually a bit of a cheapskate in some ways. I mean, some of my bibs are ripping and I refuse to replace them.
My VW is 6 years old and going strong, my wife’s Acura is the same and I swear that thing will make 400k. I’ve looked at the TLX a couple of times, but want to wait another year at least before getting rid of my VW. 6 months of car payment = new bike costs.

I woke up from a dream that I'd parked my bike and fallen asleep, in sand, and awoke in snow and my bike had been stolen. And irl I had a headache. Tie in with the Covid symptom comment. The headache has since faded.

I feel the same way.
My "old man cyclist" group has breakfast every Monday in the Winter but I 've missed a few because a couple aren't vaxxed. I'm the last to chime in on whether I'm going or not; I want to see the attendance list first.

I took a tumble on an icy spot a couple days ago and tore up a pair of tights and ripped through a wind jacket, insulated jersey, and an insulated undershirt and now have neon yellow threads embedded in my elbow. Winter road rash? What's up with that? 
BTW, the wind jacket was brand new - first ride.

Stinging-aching neurogenic pain in the bottom of the foot, up the back of the calf, and a little bit on the posterior thigh, and doing a fairly convincing imitation of an L-4 disc. It varies a bit from attack to attack. Last week it was over the lateral calf and into the web space of the first two toes.
that sounds terrible.
Last two rides my right butt cheek has been cramping and I don’t know why.

This is where I live too. Being mechanical inclined, a supercheapskate, and stubborn as eff, have served me well my whole life. I've never owned a car from New, not once. I wanted the next one to be brand new, but I don't want to feel like I'm being ***** for it either, so I've kind of decided to repair the Avalanche. I'll delete the dod system from the engine and cpu. So even if I get another junkyard engine. It'll work without any problems. It does however stick in my craw that I just (4 years ago) paid $7k for a brand new crate engine from GM. I used to be a Bow Tie Guy through and through, but I believe my next car will be a Kia, possibly a Soul. Mary Barra has taken way too much value out of Chevrolet to my liking. They build absolute garbage now.

Our car has been paid off for five years. Recently, I've been infatuated with the idea of a Kia EV6 AWD, but the reality of a car payment sours the dream quite a bit. Taking on a car payment would also stretch out the timeframe for paying off the house, the current big household financial goal, which we hope to do in the next ~five years... not sure that the Sportwagen is going to make it that long, but we'll feel it out.

We are extremely happy with our Mazda CX-5. I think my next car will be a mazda 6 but havnt ruled out a truck yet.
