Maybe if I essentially fold the passenger seat forward I'd only have to remove the front wheel?

I don't have the stomach for gambling, of any stripe. Never have.

I mean, me neither. The Bank gave us a training course last month for “we can monitor anything and everything you do on your laptop”. Which of course, but the fact that they started saying it all of a second is interesting. Wonder if they’ll can people for slacking. I’d be so heartbroken.

Got called an Ass hole this morning. Wasn’t even going to bring it up but I’m still upset about it.
On the MUP this morning, and this guy is walking his dog. Pretty normal, except he is in the grass on one side of the mup and his dog is in the trees on the opposite side of the mup. The leash was stretched straight across like a close line.
I called approaching, No response, so I then scream passing left. He couldn’t even get his dog reeled in. I had to basically come to a complete stop, and he calls me an ass hole. All I said, “if a collision was going to happen I’m hitting you and not your dog”.
The world is more populated than ever in history and people still walk around like they are the only ones in it.
500 feet later I come up on a group of elderly taking up the whole path. Got the deer in the headlights while they can’t figure out what to do.
Keep in mind, this is a designated “Bike path”. Bike path was the intent, not bird watcher path, not let my dogs run free path.
anyways it’s only May, it will get worse.

But before that, you'd never have stopped in time and crashed and asploded in a Michael Bay fireball. So it's really a "pick your poison" situation.
