Check out Zenni online. I just bout a pair of polarized prescription sunglasses for $75 shipped. Just as nice as my $400 Ray Bans and I won’t get pissed when I drop them..

1996, shits been here a while.
I will caution my one interaction with an Amazon UK Global purchase was for an X01 1195 cassette earlier this year. Parcel turned up with a battered looking SRAM X01 box that someone had put an NX cassette into it. Many phonecalls later I eventually got my money and return postage costs refunded. 1/10 would not bang.
$115 for the first load, 2nd en route. I said 5 loads, I think I am close.
@SkaredShtles there is a little bit of moss on the roof, it seems.

Holy shit.
I was thinking the same since there was a couple of inches of snow out this morning, and it's all packed hard ice now. but the forecast for the coming week is giving me second thoughts:
JD, that looks like a typical house in OR that doesn't do regular copper treatments on the roof.
It also wild to me how much your FIL's house looks like it was built by the same builder that did ours (based on floor plan, siding, roof overhang & shape, windows, brick work, flashing...). 1950s OR.

I have to clean my roof off once a year to keep the moss away. I am in the shedding zone of my neighbors 5 50+ foot Douglas fir trees. I never need to buy mulch, I just collect it from my gutters.
Don't you miss it once it's gone?
I got my normal glasses from them and they're nice. Definitely flimsy and had no rubber nose pad, so I had to get 3m stickies to put on, but still only $50. I'll probably end up getting a pair of Oakley's or Smith's, so I can get better lenses, as they will be my riding glasses too.
Yeah we are SOL pretty much now for that stuff. It really, really sucks! The prices on some stuff doesn't even make sense when accounting for a generous buttraping with the currency conversion.
For example a recent purchase I made was Shimano brake pads. They are selling around $26 in the USA, which is around $34 Canadian. But up here? Nope, they are selling for $50, PLUS tax. WTF?
Dude, remember the good old days when the Canadian dollar was on par with the US and we could buy stuff from the states for half the cost of what it was up here? Those were the days man! Dreams...
how much change did you get out of them?
Good reason to ride something else.
I broke the bolt cutters and I stopped checking keys. I have heard a few coins in maybe 3 of them. My guess is there is $1.75 total, but not worth trying to get at.
There is a box with maybe 1000 keys in it. Many are the same, but not all of them.
Today is a very important day for one reason and one reason only........I got my frame from PC and I have to say, the dude knocked it out of the fucking park. Light silver with a matte finish clear coat....raw ano look in real, non-maintenance finish. Ran out of time before I had to go pick up the older kid at school, but will finish the chainstay pivot assembly, pressing in headset cups and BB bearings, and pre-run the cables/housing for deraileur and dropper while it's easy to do (no fork). Stock frame protectors and decal kit will go on once the decals arrive, due this week.
11/10 would recommend Drew's powdercoating in Pepperell for you MA monkeys.

What will you do with those?

Youll be a more patient man than I if you can wait 6 months for it to get built up. My bank account would be nervous if I was faced with the same.
that looks super good
but, try shining a fucking light on it before you take pictures.
COME ON MAN!
Recycling is key. The tweaker next door is pissed. I guess he has been trying to get pops to let him haul those off free of charge for him.
My guess is we will clear $600 for the lot. I can neither confirm nor deny the presents of cement blocks in the bottom of some machines.
@Adventurous Fuck it....it's only money. Shut up and take it, I say.
@Nick ....either of these better, you nit-picky bastard
. What I saved on not buying a DSLR I can dump into a bicycle like I'm 17yo.

Nobody seems to notice there are no rain gutters on this house. There is part of one on the south side, but it's far from functional.
Went for a little test ride on the new bike.
Got a new compressor that Ace had at 1/2 off, so the day got better. Now hopefully our national nightmare will only go on for 3 more months...

The total haul from 128 news paper machines.
It's almost an inch deep! I might be able to retire early now.

i'm distracting myself from watching the returns by watching "forged in fire" with the 10yo
New front tooth crown looked like shit because challenging to match color/translucency of my teeth. I rejected it and will be visiting the dental lab directly, hoping they can do a better job if they see my teeth directly.
I don't think I do but I'll check.
That would be awesomeness. Millerica on Saturday? I'll bring the shockerzz.
I bought my 1upUSA rack in those halcyon days... even had it shipped to a US address so didn't have to pay brokerage fees .Friends asking me about them nowadays nearly choke when I send them to the website.
Same happened to me in September..we got it right on the second try. My dentist told me it's not uncommon for it to take three tries. Good thing it's 'no charge' till they get it right.
These guys ship to Canada? Last I checked bike discount.de want shipping here because of covid restrictions...?Still alive.
Weather this week is looking very fine.
Elbow did fine with some easy slow trails.
Pretty sore afterword, but some post ride ice and stretching and no worse for wear the next day. Progress is very slow but steady.
Maybe a ride today, but definitely tomorrow.
@Sandwich Just finished some retail therapy on R2-Bike. Zee Germans have some incredible pricing - at least for the stuff I ordered. I did a quick check - Your MT Trail Sports are 150 USD.
Remember, pricing shown is with VAT, login, or change your location to see the export price with VAT removed.

What time you dudes thinking about Millerica?
Matt asked about riding Saturday morning....you guys doing millerica then? We'd be in....
I don't think we're having plans for Saturday yet but I would be up for it - although I sense my ass will be whooped.
In other news, I've ordered some spare drivetrain parts because fuckit, life is short.

I'm a solid maybe at the moment. Itll depend on whether we end up back in NH looking at houses. Tired of it already and we've only seen 9 houses.
