And it came to pass, on the day following the first day of the dismantling of mine house, I did rise from a deep slumber and found my body sore and stiff. And the great and merciful @FSM did provide unto me the cup of coffee to quicken my spirit and sharpen my mind, and He did give unto me the balm of ibuprofen to ease the aching of my bones. Ra-men.

And it was observed that the joists of mine olde house, having endured the trials of an hundred years, were sorely weathered and in great need of repair.

You're doing the Lord's work, my Son. Go forth!
Fear not, my friend, for surely the @FSM shall provide for thee in thy time of need.
I *DO* know a guy. Though I can't say I'd recommend a trip while in pain or right before surgery. Set/Setting, and all that.

My grandfather was an Elk.
None of my family has ever. Other than church and church related things, my folks didn't do social groups or clubs. I joined because all the VFW guys are, all my neighbors are, and in this small town, it seems like the right thing to do, I guess.

It was the wife's idea, actually. :rofl:

save that old wood, sell it to some hipsters
And it came to pass, not long after we began to cast forth the old scrap wood from the flooring of mine house, that an aged man did draw near in a truck and halted at the gate of my dwelling. And he stood, gazing round about, even as the great dumpster was being delivered unto the front of mine house. Wherefore I harkened to him and said, “Good sir, may I help thee?” And the man answered, saying, “I see thou hath castest forth this old wood; might I take thereof for myself?” Then said I unto him, “Thou art welcome to take what thou needest, yet be warned: the wood is much damaged and hath been defiled by mold, and for this cause have we torn it from the house.” But the man replied, “It mattereth not unto me, for I am building a porch, and such blemishes shall suffice for mine use.” And thus he took the wood as he had spoken.

You should write holy Scripture.

FT, is that under-floor space a within insulated envelope space? Just wood over joists seems less than ideal wrt energy use
belt drive internal gear bikes
Stay away from Alfine (/Nexus), imo. Some gears feel very rubbery, if you will. I have no experience with Rohloff or Pinion though.

/me is not working today. Stupid meeting at noon cramping my style. Shall putter around town and house. Maybe ride this afternoon. Probably not.

Lo, there was no insulation aforetime beneath the floor, but it is purposed that insulation shall be set beneath the boards when we rebuild it. For the house is an hundred years old, and verily, it hath brought many challenges unto us. And I must needs tell thee also of the foundation, which hath begun to erode, adding yet another labor unto the work of restoration.

My grandfather was from the town-section of Bristol, called Forestville. Very small. Never was able to know the man but I was given his Elk Tooth FOP

This is also what I have heard and why I am looking at staying with gears and just have a good workshop where I can maintain the bike. Why I really want a nice baskement again like I have in the now sold house.

That your son’s bathtub did overflow, flooding the chamber with great ruin, is an ancient tale known far and wide. Upon seeing the destruction, you hath risen to mend the broken walls and reset the stone floor. Though your labor long, your resolve was steadfast, and the chamber hath been restored to great glory.

Computer- since you were at lunch I closed everything and rebooted.

Me - Open back up.

Computer - Okay. But I’m not reopening anything.

Me - Open outlook.

Computer - How about in safe mode?

Me - Stop fucking around.

Computer - Here’s a pinwheel.

It's Tuesday. It's Taco Tuesday at the Elks Lodge and I don't think I will go. I'm pretty sure it's bad based on the food I've had so far and that's all been American food. I can only guess how gringo Taco Tuesday might be. I'm sure I will go eventually just to show support, but not yet. The second Wednesday of every month is Spaghetti Wednesday which I'm sure is also awful, but next month it's fund raising for the Vietnam 50th, so I will have to go.

The Elks subreddit is pretty damn interesting, though. Obviously no way to validate membership, but the stories are pretty crazy. I'm well aware that our lodge is special due to a lack of other club type options (we don't even have a golf course here), but it's still damn ghetto.
tell me more about this bizarre world you live in
