Floating down the whiskey river...
It actually rained yesterday! Such a weird phenomenon this time of year. Got my car registration updated, so I'm good for two moar years. According to a group, gaggle?, whatever 3 older ladies sitting together is called, there was one young lady that couldn't take her eyes off me. Relatively sure she was underage though.

Direct quote from the article:

"We see ourselves in the same mold as a Tesla or an iPhone in this manner; in two years time, we are aiming for people to look at spokes and consider them to be the odd-looking wheels. Just consider how the mobile phone looked before the iPhone! Yes, there were other touch-screen devices out there already, but they were ugly and ill-considered affairs. A decade later and you’ll struggle to even find an old-fashioned device anymore, such is the ubiquity of the touchscreen. Simply put, our aim is to be considered entirely normal, and people will look at a spoked wheel with curiosity."

loolololololololololololololololol
The future is nowish.

In certain crash situations, that wheel could do a lot of damage to an extremity.

It’s the transmission speed on the virtual environment. We have storage space, but the tubes are small, so my outlook lags more than usual.
:rofl:

Let me guess - they piloted the virtual desktop amonst a few hundred employees, everything looked good... so they rolled it out to thousands of employees? BOOM! There goes the neighborhood.

I kinda want a DJ bike. Who wants to sell me a nice complete they have collecting dust on the cheap. :D
While I love my DK Asterik (full rigid steel), I really wish I would have kept my BlkMrkt Three57, that was a damn fun bike and adding the front brake made it even funerer.

I'm thinking that entire cantaloupe for lunch was a bad idea. Going to punch it through with coffee and some clementines.

Meeting on Monday, girl next to me says "somebody's cooking curry & now im hungry!" in reality it was me & my pheromones stewing in my sweater after running a low grade fever all morning. :rofl:
Maybe if you took a bath once in a while you might not get sick.

Still though, you probably don't smell nearly as bad as an Asheville Gutter Punk.

So, my 10 yr old kiddo has a best friend that is, shall we say, a bad seed. He is gonna be trouble. I guess they were searching for youtube videos, and friend decides to search 'porn'.
Kiddo said nothing came up, but I have a hard time believing that.
next stop, crusty socks!

Home with the youngest. He’s got a pretty solid fever, so I’m “working from home”.

I fell asleep mid sentence reading him a story. Perhaps I needed a day off too.

Sprained fingers have dampened my riding enthusiasm these days and I’m definitely starting to put on my winter layer of “insulation”.

Nap time.

Morning. Skiing this morning went way better than last attempt. Got four miles in total, two in two out. Ended up falling at the turn around and breaking a pole.. fell really big at the car and laughed.
