I will check back with him tonight. I know the cops are busy focusing on violent crime, but my friend is making their job easy by giving them the location, so I am hopeful for a good result.
Stay tuned.
BTW, the first “really good” bike I had was a Panasonic Team America from 1986, it was beautiful and had a full Dura Ace 7400 groupset. I only had it for a few months before it was stolen. This is when I lived in Baltimore, someone broke into the house and stole it. It’s “just” a bike and no one got hurt, but I was quite upset. I filed a police report but clearly the Baltimore police dept was not going to dedicate any effort to recover a stolen road bike.
Stay tuned.

Jackson is being absurd. I knew he was great but this is beyond.

[QUOTE=LesterOfPuppets;23141079]I think I've seen enough of the Chiefs/Panthers game already, and I've only been half watching it while eating fish n chips.

Panthers? It's birds not cats.

they are playing like the Panthers
fortunate to be down by only 10
the defense got lost in the locker room - and Jackson - a legit mvp candidate - struggling to throw a simple swing pass

Indispensable for any checked item. Shortens the conversation with airline baggage agents when your **** don’t make it.

On today's Sunday Bay Area ride, not much vehicle traffic, but there was an over-representation of what my dad would call "snotty cars":
Porsches, Ferraris, Audis, all out for their Sunday fun in the warm and dry weather. Lots of "vroom vroom".
Then there were the "look at me, I'm an idiot" vehicles, AKA Cybertrucks. Spotted 4 of them. Probably all Tesla engineers.

Anybody else tired of Jim Nantz besides me? I am just tired of listening to him, he has that old-school style that grates on my nerves. When the hell is he going to retire?

OTOH, I did see lots of greenery, and the Manzanitas at the Water Temple are blooming, keeping the bumblebees noisily busy.

I do hate Sean Kelly's voice. Will never watch him. He's like the only one.

The headlights have been taycan! Looks like they used a Taycan Opener.
