My jealousy is almost always just for show, this time its real.
Jet leg crushed our will to live around 5 yesterday. Dinner and in bed by 6. Slept just about 13 hours, which is the best I've slept in a really long time. Off to find baguette and coffee. Louvre latter. Actual french meal this evening, just for @slyfink
i'm at a remote office today.
<raises hand> I've been to all those places...
yea i don't really like cabbage, so no.
beer. it’s what’s for lunch.
so pad thai is toshi's version of brawndo?
I read that as Joe Rogan and was very confused.
do tell
i have to head out to lincoln for a meeting and dinner...could probably meet for a beer somewhere later in the evening...
You sticking around? Beers after work?
That sounds very doable, where are you staying overnight?
I've seen too much behind the steering wheel to ever ride a bike on a road in this country.
yea i gave up road riding years ago because of this.
I never started road riding because of this. Everyone I know who spends serious time on a road bike has been hit or swiped or run off the road.
i got into road riding in college. upstate NY, on the edge of the 'burbs and rural area. nice rolling hills, wide roads and wide shoulders, minimal traffic.
In the rain?
I road ride, but I'm in wipeepo land, so all the lexuses and BMWs give wide berth. Great riding too, which is nice. As soon as I get into the more urban parts of the area, instant death. Was nearly run over about 0.1mi into the next town, but have never had a scare in the like 6 towns closer to home.
I sold a house, and apparently the person doing the closing filed a 1099s or whatever, so now the IRS thinks I took all the money and blew it on coke. They want their cut of the profit plus a penalty for me not paying them. Too bad we lived in it, so it should be under the capital gains cap. I hope.
you mean you didn't?
We are SO lucky here...there are 70 miles of dedicated bike paths for a town of 10,000, and some roads where I will see maybe 10-20 cars in 25 miles. There is even a no car route to the top of Teton Pass.
Welcome to Europe!
How European... is it just for the day?
No, not good, not good at all.
The broken ribs will be very painful for a long time.
Just got more details. Apparently he was under the semi getting dragged for about 50-60ft so he got some wicked road rash. Also has a punctured lung. The dude is a savage though. Just posts a selfie this morning in the hospital like "oh hey guys, I got run over by a semi last night but I'm ok" lol.No, not good, not good at all.
I get too into it sometimes. One day I managed to loop out on a manual on the way to work, then eat shit trying to drift some grass in the rain on the way home. My girlfriend thinks there is something wrong with me. And I think she is probably right.
