Have they brought an inquisitor to judge the sincerity of religious belief? That's the route I'd go if I didn't want to be vaxed.

Just sent in the draft of the quadrennial report I've been working on nonstop for the last six weeks. It's a big deal and the opinion of the outside committee who will review it and grill me in March will largely determine my funding, pay, and general stock price around here for the next four years. . Now I need to deal with all the stuff I put off for it and start being nice to LSS again.

Mrs datlas and I went on a 3 mile walk on our local MUP the other day. We saw a few bikes, a couple of e-bikes, and a surprisingly large number of (obviously full) plastic doggy-poop bags, I would estimate maybe a dozen. Typically right on the edge of the MUP. I don't understand why a dog owner would bag the poop but not take it away. 
Any dog owners have an opinion??

I watched a video the other night. A guy bought a clapped-out, rustbucket 1959 Austin Healy 'Bug Eye' Sprite, then documented his FIVE YEAR restoration of it, including basically replacing probably 1/3 of the sheetmetal. He estimated he put at least 500 hours and $13,000 in parts into it.
This made me feel a lot better about my bike habit.

So, I saw a bike listing of a Domane Project 1 SLR 9 for $4,000 in my size (56) It’s super tempting, only problem is the seat-stay is cracked through.
could probably get it fixed for like $600 and I’m super tempted.

We would get people at the dealer bringing cars in trying to get them "restored". One guy had a 96 Impala SS which was pretty beat and he spent like $20K at our place plus had someone put a new interior in it and it was still a pos. They are semi-collectable but we showed him he could get a really nice one for under $15K but he scoffed.
