Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

You might want to confer with Lamar Odom prior to that.

So, in the continuing garage sale saga, my wife comes home from her 41 mile ride and I ask her if I can go out for 20 miles or so while she watches the sale and she says. "Screw it. You can ride after you close up and put everything away. I'm going to take a bath and then take a nap."

Did you push everything into the street and go for a ride?

Sort of. I got my bike out of the garage then shoved all the crap in and shut the garage door.

That reminds me. I told the staff to take the rest of the month and disconnect the phones.

Major mistake. Now you have to deal with it tomorrow.

If you had shoved it into the street with price tags attached, none of it would be there tomorrow.

Could be worse. I sent an ebay order that the PO says was delivered but can't be found. No insurance. I hate when that happens.

Yeah, ouch. I've had a few of those. That was golf stuff though. Golfers are scoundrels.

Sure, but I've been on the receiving end when a package got "lost" after supposed delivery. I know it can happen.

It's nice to see Mr. Transistor disposing of life threatening tools. Tools such as chainsaws, mauls and training wheels.

I've never seen a blocked punt quite like that before. He didn't just block it, he swallowed it. Lol

I've managed to get rid of most things with an edge. The few things that I have left will go to the curb like [MENTION=170817]Doug28450[/MENTION] suggested.

Heavy objects and ladders go next.

I had a buyer yesterday claim he placed the decimal point wrong. He bid $66.00 and won, previous bid was $60.00. Unless he thought he put $660, he was just being careless with bidding.
