The only reason why I was able to get one for my mom was because I read on a local news site that registration was going to open at 5:00 pm. Got online right before. These appointment registration sessions can run out in 20 minutes.In other news, I got my dad scheduled for his first dose of a Covid shot. The online sign-up process was freaking AWFUL... there's a dropdown that selects the location and the calendar shows you the dates with appts available. So if you're frantically trying to get an appt for your 75-year-old dad before they all "sell out" it's just an extremely stressful and frustrating PITA. Click to a month view, then cycle through all the locations in the dropdown. No appts? Click the next month, then cycles through all the locations AGAIN. Oh, and I forgot the other part: you start the process by entering a zip code and selecting a range of up to 50 miles from that zip code. Which then narrows down the locations you are able to see at any one time... so if you want to look at various cities because your dad lives in a truck camper and can be fully nomadic... woof.

I can't even imaging if I were 75 years old and trying to deal with this. I'd give up. My dad had, TBH.
Wait, your PC crashed during an earthquake?
the EMS near me closed like 2 or 3 years agoAlso, EMS has big discounts on tech shirts and base layers. 'tis the season.
I like the EMS base layers as a whole, but my God are they lint magnets. I swear, more lint ends up on those things than in the lint trap.Also, EMS has big discounts on tech shirts and base layers. 'tis the season.
It's a shame. Their stuff is always pretty decent and can be had for a reasonable price.the EMS near me closed like 2 or 3 years ago
Still around. They still have a few physical stores, sell stuff at a few others (Bob's), and have an online presence.I thought EMS went Tango Uniform?
Oh I should make calzones.Gonna make calzones tonight, and watch the Lyle Lovett/Jason Isbell concert.
Not gonna spin on the kickr, just get fat.
my dad finally got my mom to do an eval and it was as expected-early-mid stage alzheimer's. i still don't think my mom has fully processed it yet and i'm pretty sure she thinks no one notices. then she'll tell me stuff like my dad is cranky and loses his temper with her, not realizing that when it takes you hours to get your shit together to do basic grocery shopping and you stress out and make lists over and over and ask the same questions over and over it's not fun to deal with. hope hilarie and you can get some support if/as needed. mom has to go take a driving test in a few weeks...can't imagine that's going to go well either.Taking Hilarie for a memory evaluation...
Only have one set. Let me other one go years ago for market price.anyone have a pair of 26" disc wheels they don't need? 135x10 bolt on rear, 20mm front (for slalom/pump track bike). @Nick i'm looking at you.
Too bad that with shipping and customs it most likely will not be worth it.XTR M980 3x10 crankset,
The waterflow down that creek must have been nuts and the tiny culverts under the road were like a straw trying to funnel a damn blow out.Pour one out for HWY 1 at Big Sur...

A tiny little bit of that snow snuck it’s way into Colorado, and all of it went to Powderhorn ski area.
