H8R.....but he no here anymore.
Why wait? Let's do it while we are in the prime riding season. How about this weekend at Landlocked forest?
Kinda beautiful in a way, but also an upwardly curving top tube for no apparent reason? "Kill List." as @jonKranked might say. Also, I'm no stranger to dentist pricing but holy FACK... $2,850 for a steel hardtail is beyond even my level of dentistry.

How about @Sandwich, can you go this weekend?Why wait? Let's do it while we are in the prime riding season. How about this weekend at Landlocked forest?
Nerds with monocles. That shit's expensive, and totally pay-to-win.
Battletech is coming back, though! Giant stompy robots!
i've known / met a few custom frame builders in my days. that shit is art, and the price tag isn't unwarranted (in most cases). that being said, i can appreciate them for what they are while not being in the market for one.
No, no it’s not.while D&D is apparently in vogue with normal people.
Hipsters and celebrities. I should have said "hipsters and celebrities"...
The ‘normal people’ threw me off. Carry on.Hipsters and celebrities. I should have said "hipsters and celebrities"...
I deal with lack of actual friends by spending as much time in the woods, solo and grumbling to myself. I’m extroverted but have little tolerance for the other humans. Must have been all that D&D I played as a nerdy teenager.
This weekend I'll be up in VT with my dad and neither for the opening day of the whitetail season. The weekend after that too. The one after that may be my first chance at a ride.Why wait? Let's do it while we are in the prime riding season. How about this weekend at Landlocked forest?
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle suit from 1993 movie hits the auction block
We are to understand that "both the body and head of the costume show substantial breakdown to the foam latex elements." Leonardo's (Mark Caso) costume from Stuart Gilard's family adventure…

I'd contend that Ridemonkey and things like it are actually super helpful in this regard. I have more in common with you monkeys than I do with the vast majority of my neighbors.
My neighbors are old and sedentary. And they keep to themselves. Perfect neighbors, really.
Mine are similar in demographics, +/- 5 years and with 2-3 kids. But I don't want to drink light beer in someone's backyard and chat about kids or sports or some shit like that. I'd rather ride my bike and then nerd out online.
Not that I dont have a ton in common with you guys, cause I certainly do, but for me, I need real life interaction too in spite of my introversion. Someone to hang out with every now and again, exchange texts, share big news or problems, just someone to listen when I need them. While the internet can be great for that, it isn't a one for one substitute.
The fun thing about MTG is it doesn't have to be expensive. You can go buy a $40 preconstructed deck and have a blast. The legacy formats are more $$$ to buy in, but again, there are ways around it. With all of the various combinations and synergies, it's a highly dynamic game, and doesnt have to be as nerdy as people make it.Nerds with monocles. That shit's expensive, and totally pay-to-win.

on making friends - I get more and more introverted the older I get. I think I come off as not interested or anti-social these days, but I'm really neither. That, combined with working WAY too fucking much, leaves me alone often and I'm getting (slightly) more comfortable with that.
all joking aside we do have a lot of great neighbors. 3 of them are "mountain bikers". quotes added as they collectively only ride a handful of times a year.Oh, now, THAT would be helpful.

I just found out that a fully furnished studio apartment in Chamonix can be had for around $825/mo with *all* utilities included... 
I don't even like the people I like. I'm pretty much at peak social interaction as it is most days. Not really sure I have much interest in adding to it. Work schedule makes it hard for me to get out or keep up with the people I already know, and what that doesn't kill, the PTSD, trauma, and social anxiety gets the rest.
you should move into agriculture.
This. I hate talking about kids while getting a buzz on & hate pro sports more than anything else. Lets go ski, go hike, fish THEN hang on the deck but with good beers & tales of adventures.
Take solace in the fact that most of those people WISH they didn't have the kids.
But, you know, by the time you come to this conclusion... it's WAY too late.

Post-divorce Vasectomy FTW. Should’ve been pre-divorce, but I escaped without attachment.
Noticed the other day a house I walk the dog past has what appears to be 7-8 fairly well developed pot plants in the backyard that you can see from the sidewalk.
1. Pretty sure that's still illegal
2. Not sure how much they might be worth these days
3. Growing season has maybe 3 more weeks at this point

Buddy of mine has a neighbor that apparently pulls in 8-10 POUNDS per year out of his back yard. Apparently he can't even GIVE away all of it. He apparently makes some cannabutter with trim/shake.Noticed the other day a house I walk the dog past has what appears to be 7-8 fairly well developed pot plants in the backyard that you can see from the sidewalk.

I believe you can have up to 12 plants in a 2-adult household, but what do I know. Drugs are bad.
I also believe that they *have* to be inside/locked down... but I only vaguely recall something regarding this sort of rule.
It's possible the law has changed since I last looked, but IIRC it was 6 plants per adult, split 3 mature and 3 immature.
