I really hope to ride outside tomorrow, I’ve had enough of zwift. I’m still a little nervous about riding where I am at but the roads are pretty wide and as long as it’s not rush hour traffic seems to be light.
Mojo hooked me up with some routes and great ideas for wednesday. Thinking I might drive over to Mellow Johnies and hit up the mups around there and venture out. Might try and meet up for lunch if I can.

Fun fact after a day of ground school my brain turns to mush.
Fun fact number 2 I flew the 737 in the sim today and did not crash.
Fun fact number 3 my captain lives where I used to live, and cycles. He has gotten to cycle in Italy in layovers. His bike of choice, Pinarello.

There's a Dogma 65.1 near me -- a cm or two smaller than I prefer, but still totally ridable, but the price is too low, so guaranteed scam.
After I looked at it, FB reminded me of this frameset that I'd viewed before. Exactly my preferred size and only $75. I expect it to be in the garage before long...

Am I the only one who thinks it should be easy to fly an aeroplane? 
A smart filter would mute posts containing "gravel," "dirt," "fatbike," etc.

When my sister was in Junior High, she read a book about a family with Labrador Retrievers. There was one puppy with an exceptionally large head, whom they named "Meathead". She did not parse it as "meat head", but thought it was either ME-uh-theed, or me-ATH-ee-AD.
We have, of course, never allowed her to forget this, even half a century later.

As a student of "Hooked on Phonics", I absolutely butchered the pronunciation and am reminded of it every so often.
I don't ever want to see a mountain lion. If I ever, do that means that it's been watching me for a while - and that's absolutely horrifying.

Probably. I mean, most people can barely drive in 2 dimensions, so why should adding one make it easier? If the engine in your car stops, you slow to a stop. If the engine in your plane stops, you plummet to the ground.

It's a promotional event, so the invites go to customers/potential customers. The dealers get allotments of invites, and send them to their customers. I've received the invite in the past, but for this event I didn't. A friend who did passed her invite on to me, and I thought it'd be fun to do with my son. He drives my cars, and has even driven one of the sports cars on the COTA track, but not at speed and with no concern for banging the things up.
It's amazing what you get if you spend some money. In the last 10 years, I've been to about 4 of these Porsche events, a Jaguar event, and received a free day of track training at COTA in December '19 after buying an AMG. It's not worth buying the cars just for that though - you have to want the car, and the rest is bonus. None of the events are hard core, just fun and give you a free taste of speed.
Here's my wife driving at one of them:

Ditto. I love snakes so I'd love to see a rattler, but I think my opinion may change if I do finally run across one.
I received this book as a gift when I was younger:
