Just had to yell at some lady parking in my driveway, in front of my garage.
"I just have to drop something off."
"Good for you. There's parking right there, and there, and there."
There are parking spaces less than 20 yards away, and she's gotta park in my driveway and block my garage? WTF is wrong with people?

The most—the only—squirrely and dangerous rider in our group has ridden as a pro. I saw him go down hard once, when he caught is tire the gap between the blacktop and the concrete curb of the island in a little traffic circle.

I'm with you. Prince was REALLY good. I wouldn't consider my self a Prince fan, necessarily, but I enjoy a lot of his songs. I definitely recognize his talent as a musician and a performer.

That's a very long list. Very long.

Oh - heh. I didn't mean to imply that I'm squirrely or anything. Just that decisions made when riding solo are different than when you have to consider the passage of a group. When I do a lot of solo riding, it takes me a while to keep from falling back in to solo-mode.

Oh. I just picked up my fourth router. Do I need to find an Addiction thread on routerforums.net? 
I did buy the new one with the intent of it replacing an existing... but now that I think about it, it's sometimes useful to have two set up at the same time...

A quick swerve around a manhole cover you'd do on your own becomes much more laborious in a group.

Did a couple of outdoor group rides last week and on the first one I was in Zwift mode. I had my head down, staring at someone’s wheel when we came to a stop sign and I narrowly managed not to crash. Took me a while to get my situational awareness back.

Awww - come on! It's perfectly reasonable, let me break it down:
1) Large, powerful muther - permanently installed in to a router table. A little scary hand-held.
2) Medium duty for most hand-held operations like dovetails and mortise and tenon work
3) Compact/palm router for lighter duty stuff, like chamfers and round-overs.
Now, #4 is also medium duty, and would ostensibly replace #2... but if I keep it, I could use it in situations like... sliding dovetail - one can hold a straight bit, to hog out most of the channel, and the other can hold the dovetail bit, which wouldn't be as stressed/likely to brake/burn. I could also have it on hand as a spare. If I were to sell #2, what am I going to get for it - 120 bucks? Is that really moving the needle?
Makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

WTF does that even mean???
Apparently so. I mean, the easiest thing to do at a halftime you don’t like is just get up for a food or bathroom break.
I wonder if these dufuses just say the most extreme things they can think of just to get attention.

You haven’t laughed until you’ve heard Lewis Black’s bit on that debacle.

My daughter and I are starting to dabble in some basic woodworking, and are currently building out our workspace in half of our 2-car garage (the other half is bikes and music gear). I have a compact router currently on the way to me that will be mounted under a piece of 3/4" ply that can be dropped into my portable table saw table. I might need a bigger router in the future, but for now this should be useful for simple stuff.
