Bike Forums - Addiction LXV

Same deal with law school these days. My last job was at a law firm where a lot of people were in purgatory after finishing school but failing the bar exam, sometimes 2-3 times. They were being paid as "legally trained" doc reviewers, so they were making ~$25 an hour. That's not terrible, but then you remember they're more than 150k in debt and might not ever actually get to practice law if they can't get a license.

That would be stressful.

Come on, the runners need your support. You could be the difference between one finishing or quitting.

P.S. Don't forget to make a sign.

Or cutting the course. Is that allowed?

Have your camera ready to document the atrocities.

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.....

Pin spanners are also handy as placeholders, when wrapping handlebars.

Is this a takeoff of that Steve Miller Band song, The Joker?

After wifey and I got ticketed for open containers on the river here last year, we will be taking my non-clear bike bottles from now on.

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.

Not even Bud Light, but Bud Light Lime. Oof. I can't recall how I had the misfortune of trying one, but I did. Never again. I think that I would rather drink from the river than drink BLL on the river.

Maybe that's why I don't fit in over there. No meds.

So we're heading over to the Maya Riviera tomorrow, to celebrate our 26th. An adults only place this time. Nothing ruins a vacation like screachers in the pool, or anywhere else. We've decided to go by bus this time, since neither of us wants to participate in a five hour drive across the peninsula. We've also decided to catch the local bus here in Tixkokob, instead of driving to Merida for the express. Total travel time will be pretty much equivalent. Air conditioned comfort without the behind the wheel stress. Apart from the colorful plastic wristbands, we're looking forward to it.
