Speaking for myself, I guess I just took it for granted. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@rideit how is it taking you this long to get back from Costa Rica? It ain’t that far away…
@eaterofdog I think I can see old XTR cranks. Probably other goodies on there too…
Took the day off to help the wife (other boss) fill a couple pallets of bottles with vino.

Here. Slow day, so just getting shit done and getting ready for my interview.
I loved that frame. It was one of my favorite DH bikes of all-time. It was just that the damn shock mount kept breaking. With a TT 1" longer and sealed i-Drive bearings, it would probably still be a really fun bike.
Good morn, my fellow archaic forum patrons
How goes theee?
Frosty this morning, tomorrow too, need to get this house built so I can have Arizona or the Keys to pillage and plunder in the winters.
Ran through a couple batteries in the saws on the property yesterday, just about ready for an excavator and start piling and burning.
In other news,
Went and looked at the new Can Am maverick R, that thing is sick, dual plate clutch on a real transmission, 250 hp and coil overs. I am thinking I will have one in the stable shortly. The dunes are going to get flogged on a daily basis.
move out , draw fire

I feel attacked
I did have anxiety. one time. (it was while watching The Dark Knight at a time when my surgery internship director had threatened to fire me. later found out she'd threatened to fire all of the residents at one point or another, a real piece of work she was.)
I, too, loved that fork. felt so good and the turning radius was unparalleled. well, nearly perpendicular to one's line of travel. nevermind
Ha, a memory from about 15 years ago popped up with me on my DHi (with Monster T) pulling my daughter on her trailer bike at Stub Stewart.

Yup, 22 hour in transit time coming home. There was easy, left JH at 1:20 pm, arrived in San José at 10:30. No such luck coming home.This issue isn't Costa Rica -> U.S. - more the U.S. -> Jackson.
The key to crippling anxiety is a heavy indica, I find the kush variety to work best. It's funny how the stuff that can put people on the couch for hours quiets the voices enough for me to function at a "high" level. 
Seems like one could fly to SLC and drive faster than that..
Oh snap, what fork was that then? It started with a Monster T.
I’d rather spend a night in a decent hotel than drive home from SLC after a long trip. (At least five hours, up to seven or more). Especially in the kinds of blizzards we experience.

Z150? It's 20mm axle, damn. That was a really fun bike, too. That must have been 2007..
Just touched down…
The Rotax Nationals races just got into the *maybe* category because [checks notes] will be out of town for Mother's Day and [checks notes again] will miss a combined three days of school over 2-months. These feel like excuses as arguments rather than reasons to snuff the trajectory of her performance curve.

I believe you are correct, sir. Well done. That is a fork I definitely owned at one point, the Z150 I'm not sure.
I never had a Jr T, but the RM7 had the Super T.
As compeared to what?
apples/oranges
Whoosh

So $1,400 paint scratch repair on the Volvo is covered under comprehensive insurance. $100 deductible and I get rental car allowance. Not bad.
year-2000-era bikes, thoughTalk of bicycles on teh monkey…The end is nigh.
a period in which more of us actually did this "riding"
