I had chips and salsa as part of dinner last night.

Folks, do try to get along during those periods when I can't keep track of you. And FGS please try to get your spelling, grammar, and word usage right. I don't want to be coming back here after several hours and finding page after page of language atrocities that need correcting. That is all.

Weak huff.

What kind of salsa, and what kind of chips?

Speaking of mowing, question. We got that battery powered Ryobi mower a few weeks ago, and after that day 1 exchange because of a DOA mower, the 2nd one has been working flawlessly and has just enough juice to do our front and parts of the back yard.

Anyway, we have lots of pine cones in the yard. Too many to rake up, in fact. I've been passing over them with the mower, which makes a heck of a pinging noise. Wifey thinks it's going to kill the mower, I say it may dull the blade faster than grass but you can sharpen those and it doesn't pose any real danger to the machine itself.

What say you, Addiction lawn care experts?

For a gasoline powered mower, I wouldn't worry about it. I have no knowledge about the durability of battery powered ones though. Is the deck steel.

I'm not in the habit to poop where I eat, but it's not everyday I'm chased, if even lightly. Hmmmmm.

Kudos

And there are those of us who consider the solo ride the competition.

I probably should just mow when she's not around. She was pulling weeds while I mowed last week and one of the pinecones zinged out of the side of the mower and missed her head by a foot. That started the whole "you shouldn't use it that way" conversation.

He just got it. Traded a set of near mint Dia Compe brakes and a 10 speed Chorus 11-23.

We have a bird here, the groove-billed ani, that likes to dance in the weedeater strings. A little bit ago, I saw one on the porch, taunting the dogs. I have no doubt that, with a little effort, I could feed them out of my hand.

He comes to all my races actually, sets up the trainer for my warm up and all my paraphernalia, packs up after etc.

I would be similar to Mr. HP if my wife raced bikes. If she raced on the team, the firm's continued sponsorship would be a no brainer.

Happy Kent State Day


There is a guy in my adopted hometown, in Ohio, who has spent the last 47 years in a wheelchair, having been shot in the back during that incident.

When Connie decided what roads to ride on, it's pretty cool she chose Cherryvale. It's down the street from my house and my favorite road in town. Connie, Taylor, and I all think alike.

You know what would cause some controversy? Starting a thread asking whether it's worth it to join the "Rapha Cycling Club".

A job for [MENTION=186391]indyfabz[/MENTION]?

The lawn mowing??

Wait, what?

This was excellent. I expected it to be Rapha commercial. Nice find. Rapha just opened a store down the street.

These are my roads, by the way. All those beautiful country roads are why I live in the southeast of town.

Nice. Too bad it's so far away and so expensive to live there, or I would be your neighbor (cue Mr Rogers' theme song).

I just started watching women's pro cycling, on youtube. Women's soccer is a far superior watch to men's.

Cherryvale is the road to get to the rest of Boulder and beyond.

Old School has a tri branch.

Never heard that expression? Another equivalent phrase is "don't dip your pen in the company ink".

Basically, never date a coworker because it can/will get messy. Having worked in restaurants for a number of years, I have seen that first hand on many occasions.

I had a minute to kill and looked at home prices in Boulder. Wow.
