I'm almost embarrassed using the phrase 'snapchat' and 'it's on' in the same sentence. My name beings with M ends with illenial.

Yeah but the thing is, a physician is among the most mobile of careers, you can find work almost anywhere. You never know, you might find higher pay in Boulder.

We were literally sitting in innertubes tied to a tree on the hottest day of the year, drinking (gasp) bud light limes, and 6 cops showed up to ticket everyone in the area. Good times. After paying the fine that became the most expensive bud light I've ever (not) enjoyed.

Never fun to get ticketed for that sort of thing. Your mistake was being tied to the tree.. Should've cut rope and played the 'catch me if ya can coppers' as you floated down river at 2.2mph.

Wifey had to read 900 pages of psych records in 5 days before writing a brief. You guys have a hard job.

I'd rather read all day than deal with dozens of irate customers.. or would I? Do we love the thing that kills us?

I sold my soul to the Snap On man years ago, and had the right size. Since it said Snap On on it, and not Park Tool, I chose to buy the correct tool for the application. You know, for next time. That time has never come. Too bad that thought didn't work for the time I bought a Volkswagen drum brake spoon.....

No one gets sick in Boulder.

Well just imagine how eff'd up this place would be if there was a gun feud everywhere you went. People come here to to talk about bikes, not to listen to some yo-yo from the backwoods argue about guns.

And it's not like we don't graciously provide a forum where guns can be discussed freely. So I gots no sympathy. :lol:

I now own two perfect Park spanners, one broken Campy spanner and a broken Sugino spanner. :rolleyes:

I only have the shift levers to install on my Motta but my wife has plans for me...

Are you certain you've fully tightened the stem?

I like the mental image of this. Unfortunately, they had a little patrol boat giving tickets to people tubing or canoeing with beer cans that same day.

I think the enforcement is mainly to prevent littering in the park system, because a lot of people just toss the cans in the river. All well and good, and also solved by pouring the cans into a camelback at home :D

Well he likes to cuss, so that's a plus.

More social media. Apparently there's not enough outlets for it yet.

I get home at 5:30, I eat an ice cream cone and then I go to sleep early.

She said something about going out a lot and a music concert and something else? I wasn't really listening, just thinking about my ice cream cone. :lol:

Make sure you send her the magical fairy selfie filter. It's very slimming on your cheek bones. Or something. My wife uses that app and I hate it.

I'm absolutely disgusted by the filters. If I see one more fairy with crazy marble eyes.. :crash:

I just ate some leftover blackened oven-roasted cauliflower as part of my lunch (we put it right under the broiler to get it black). It was quite good. Mrs datlas has informed me that according to her cooking/food sources, cauliflower is the "new kale," ie the latest fad superfood. I have liked it all along.

Give me broccoli or kale any day.

Alas, at 52 I no longer appeal to that demographic.

I had the mojo from 18 to about 25. Last 3 years? Ehhhh. Maybe I'm coming around again.
