Yes that is a fine line to toe for sure - getting adequate nutrition for recovery vs gaining weight from excess calories. Cutting back on the afternoon snack helped. wasn't really hungry for it anyway. I eat pretty healthy most of the time. I tried to have dinner fairly early and would simply eat more if I was still hungry after an hour.

Why, when I were a lad.....
The '66 Ford Country Sedan we had when I was a kid had an AM radio, and dual-facing rear seats that offset the passengers so I could put my feet up on the seat beside my sister, who could put her feet on the seat beside me. Since I can't read in a moving car without wanting to throw up, my entertainment options were really limited. Basically, we played Rock Garden (but Dad always won), and a variant of Punch Buggy, where we'd call "Blat!" or some such if we saw a VW Beetle. That and staring at each other was about it.

Of course. I forget about your wild schedule.

Yea, I totally want one. would prolly bring it with me on rides so I can start taking epic pictures of my bikes. I’ll be that idiot in the middle of the road blocking traffic to get that sunrise shot.

back to using pro gold pro link lube on the bikes that are not an SLR. I guess the biggest turn, it’s self cleaning and repels water vs most other lubes. Downside, have to use it pretty often. One article said before every ride which is ridiculous.

Anyways, we shall see how clean the chain looks after tomorrows ride.

We’re so far from the source of real ice cream that we would have to take a cooler to the store with us. Makes it easier to quit.

Might be too bulky for a jersey pocket.

Never underestimate my ability to pull off something stupid.

I’m sitting in a TSA Pre-check office right now. I’m done with everything but my wife is still to go through the interview and get printed.

My wife and I were TSA approved via. background check by the State Dept. back in 2010. Long story. Anyway it expired right before the pandemic.

Btdt. It happens fast!

Oh sure. But still, there's the base price and the nicely equipped price.

I do keep drooling over the X3. Hugely because of the heated steering wheel.

Will see what I can do.

Could use some prayers. Wasn’t going to post this but my wife is pretty concerned. My FIL smoked most of his life, and recently quite. He had some scares but not really sure what they were. He also has recently lost a lot of weight. A lot. Up to this point I wasn’t concerned. He has gained and lost weight before. The last time he quit smoking, he gained like 50 pounds, and then several months later lost it all again. I’ve seen him fluctuate pants sizes several times in the last 16 years. This time, however, it was pretty fast and unwarranted.

He went to the doctor and they did some kind of scan of his chest area. I’m a little confused about the details, I am not sure how many scans he has had or what kind of scans they were. The first time, it appeared he has had multiple heart attacks. He didn’t think that was possible so I guess they did another kind of scan, and it showed issues with his lungs. He got the results today and it shows some bulges that shouldn’t be there.

What I find interesting, is the doctor is not saying cancer, nor does he want to do a biopsy yet. From whatI understand they want to do another scan to see if it has grown before they do a biopsy.

I don’t really understand cancer or how it works, or how they can even test for it, but I would think if you see a growth or multiple growths in an area that it shouldn’t be you would want to do the test for cancer instead of waiting to see.

Anyways, that’s where we are at. My wife lost most her mom’s side to cancer so she’s pretty worried.

Now a days the pre check line is almost as long as the regular line.

Start with invoice no matter the level of trim. You can find it for most cars online. Audi Q5, for example, is 94% of MSRP.

Smart money negotiates over how much the dealer should make on the sale, not how much discount the buyer wants.

Mojo31

Heated wheel is nice. The new Audi has it. I’ve had about 5 other cars with it. It spoils you.

Maybe you could start an ice cream truck business?

bampilot06

Trying to follow this but for some reason my brain can’t comprehend the first part.

Mojo31

My FIL died from lung cancer about 4 years ago. I feel for you.

Positive thoughts, bam.

Bah Humbug

I... yes. There is still invoice of base vs options, yes? I don't think you're going in the same direction I am.
