"Actually I’d think after thirty, forty-five seconds, something like that, I just got up and said okay, we’ll go..."
And with those words 79 years ago, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower sent thousands of young men hurtling into the sky and into the surf in order to free a continent from Fascist tyranny. Today we remember their sacrifices, and wonder-what have we learned?
(It blows my mind to think that my Father, an LST crewman on D Day, could be somewhere in the photo below. Thanks Dad...)

Seen at the Normandy Visitor Center, this tells the story of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower’s decision to launch Operation Overlord.

not long?!Not sure how long I should go without getting on a bicycle.
forest fires are clouding the skies here, and the air is not great to breathe. yech.
That's the sun behind all the haze
Good morning, ridemonkey populace. I got a 25 mile road ride done early this morning. A slight overdress for 52 degrees, but I always prefer being a little warm to being a little cold. 'Twas a good ride.
Here. Half day of class then the rest to be spent studying. They gave us our recommended study schedule and it's... burly. It's assuming 4-6hrs/day with one day per wknd off until the test. That will provide for Haley's practice and race sessions on the 18th and 24th (assuming she has a kart).
I'm getting more anxious about Haley's kart both being here and insurance covering it. The inspector is coming by today to look at the car and trailer, but still waiting to get out to the shop for the kart. If they don't... Man, I'm screwed because Wifey's gonna kill me for just pulling the trigger and buying a kart.

put dogs in our bedroom upstairs. awaiting flooring guys. supposed to record a podcast with a guy at 10:00. hoping it won't be too loud on the porch.
slept like a brick, rain and thunder storms seem to be staying some 10 mile south of us. windy as shit out though.
Espresso and grub then off to road warrior land

One of my grandmother's brothers was there. Never talked about it, I didn't learn he was in the war until after he passed.Happy Tuesday all.

Its one of those things that I'll never forget and can remember so much of, even though I went as a dumb young adult. Cameras and photos weren't needed, as it was burned into my brain.
Same with Vimy Ridge. Words can't describe it.
Browsing Ridemonkey it is, then!
So much to do. So many things competing for my attention.
Gotta make sure I'm not needed 'round these parts.Browsing Ridemonkey it is, then!
You're good enough, you're smart enough... and gosh darnit, people like you.
That kind of positive affirmation is why I keep coming back.
Lord only knows I ain't getting it at work or home.

The various amphibious landings in WW2 still blow my mind. D-day was obviously the biggest and most famous, but they were all absolutely rediculous feats to pull off. Show up to a heavily fortified beach some shitty plywood boats, spotty air cover, no solid way to direct fire from naval batteries and they just got after it. The land battles were wild, but something about a bunch of dudes in the ocean attacking dug in troops on the ground is next level.Happy Tuesday all.

Can't imagine what the world would look like had it not been for men like you Dad.
Nice, Tool is playing relatively close to me in October. Definitely gonna try and make that one.
Work life around getting meetings will be easier over the next 1.5mos. I just logged in to check my calendar for tomorrow and the stuff I sent out Friday entirely filled my calendar through eom July. A lot more show up and do vs. beat the drum for face time, which will be very helpful.
Back to the books again.

Afternoon. I can't believe it's only Tuesday! I am Thursday tired....crap! Hoping I don't get called again this week for jury duty (federal so I have to call every Thursday to see if my number is up). Concerts done, working on inventory and finalizing the year for my department. Started to sketch out our Grand Canyon trip. Should be fun!
I swear my neighbors kids shitbox Mini gets louder every day. He's been working messed up hours at the Taco Bell and he feels he has to rev the shit out of it every time he gets in or out of it. Since we don't have DEQ in the sticks, he pulled the mufflers out and it's straight pipes. It sounds terrible.

Good afternoon!!!! Busy busy busy. I’ve been wanting to start a pay it forward thread but I’m aweful lazy. I have a fox 36 that needs a new home. Came on my megatrail in 2018 I think. Put a lufkappe piston in it but it was just not to my liking so when I dumped it in the rocks and scratched the stancion I changed to a lyric. 180 travel. Free to a good home.
i think i watched about 15 minutes of them opening for henry rollins in the early 90's....
enjoy.
That cool and all. But I’m still more impressed with the fact you had/have a Jacob’s ladder.
I took them out nearly 15 years ago. I did them myself, but used a numbing agent. Did my own nipples too. It was real fun in college. I told a funny story on here involving them and the TSA. That’s how I got my custom signature.That cool and all. But I’m still more impressed with the fact you had/have a Jacob’s ladder.
Would suck for him if someone threw a bunch of washers down the exhaust. The rattling would be terrible.
As much antifreeze/water as I see him putting in it daily, he might already have that issue.
Folks are losing their mind. A movie is being shot for 2 days downtown.
