No good will come from this discussion.

If you Strava it, the pastry counts as fuel.

2 natures made brownie packs: 360 cal
3 shot blok sleeves : 600 cal
10 TUMS : 100 cal (estimate)

Total 2320 calories

I don't think I will eat all the shot bloks but nice to have extras just in case.

I also lubed the chain on the Habanero and tweaked the RD barrel a half turn. Shifts like buttah.
I did a 100 mile race one time without a support team. I carried 4 - 20 oz. bottles, 2 with plain water and 2 doctored with something, I don't remember what. I cut up half a dozen Marathon bars into 1" cubes and lined a small hip pack with baggies and filled the sucker up.

I did start cramping about mile 75 from rationing my water. Got a few snickers about my fanny pack but I won my age group. :thumb:

Uh... that's just one reason. :innocent:

My reading comprehension is really getting bad. I kept re-reading this sentence thinking there should be a second "will" after the first "will."

Must be why I have to have a brain MRI. :foo:

I'm really only familiar with Canon lenses.
OMG yes, I use this one for everything outside, far, and daylight.

I was younger and skinnier but not nearly as handsome and humble.

I didn't realize we were having a discussion.

They're now saying maybe a foot of snow. I doubt it.

Speaking of lenses, my all-time favorite is the Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM. It is a fantastic lens for portraiture but also very flexible. I took this in southern California with it a few years ago in Long Beach, CA:
That's my other favorite lens for basketball when flash isn't allowed.

Living on the edge.

It's been snowing much of the day, but no accumulation here in town.

Do they include illustrative videos?

WARNING NSFW language.

I'm getting free tires from one of our sponsors. Does that make me a pro?

I don't think that this sets a precedent for customers to abuse the system - I don't think that the dude was being terribly unreasonable and I don't think that the majority of people would be terribly unreasonable. And, quite frankly, there's rules of the airplane and then there's rules of the airplane - this conflict is certainly an opportunity for airlines to review their booking, seating and bumping procedures.

It shouldn't be that hard to not beat the **** out of your customers.

Should we be worried?
