Just received a text from middle brother. Asked if I might be able to scurry away for a weekend in July to meet up with family in Flagstaff. Reminded him I work at a casino, in Tahoe, during July, so it's a highly possible "NO".

Come on lotto!!!!!

At least it's Friday. I think. It is Friday, right? If there's one plus about this whole thing, the lack of traffic is nice.

Also, kicking around the idea of a new bike for no good reason whatsoever.
This is (in fact) the best reason to buy a new bike.

just not that familiar with GG is all....
I find this somewhat incomprehensible, considering every fucking time someone mentions they're thinking about getting a new bike @jonKranked suggests they buy a GG regardless of which forum they post it in. It's almost as bad as @Toshi chiming in about fasting whenever someone casually mentions they'd like to lose some weight or change their diet.

  2. You're not, I'll give you that.

2 - derp.

We have emergency boxes at work for hurricanes and such. I suggested we add a couple body bags to each one and everyone looks at me like I'm crazy. Fine then, but I'm not gonna be the one rolling those dead assholes up in painter's tarps.
Just push them into the swamp and let the Gators take care of them. Just get some GoPros to strap on them for some good YouTube content.

Mr ti cranks will also consistently wag the dentist finger if one considers something other than a GG.

that's....... painful to listen to, but accurate. there's a reason it's referred to as pennsyltucky.
I'm a mutt, but have some PA Dutch in the mix and despite growing up in Bleedmore I spent most of my formative summers in greater Lehighton not far from Jim Thorpe (Mauch Chunk)

Thankfully mom sold the home in Andreas PA when she funtired and had grandkid(s) in BZN to spoil.

There's something in the water, and the stubborn refuse to move fatalism of the PA locals reminds me of the denizens of MT's largest Superfund site (Butte), a legacy of Scot's Irish hard drinking miners angry at the world that's passed them by...

Or @Toshi recommending Tesla for some form of electrical related product.
