So I miss hanging out around here. :lol: Work kind of got really real when I got my sudden promotion. I'm pretty much constantly busy from 8-5 now as opposed to the occasional slow periods.

Also, I'll be flying to Columbus, OH in a couple of weeks on business. If any addictionites in the area would like to punch me in the face, let me know. We'll set it up.

Couldn't you come to Houston? Bring a Trump mask.

Reading is fundamental.

Check this out. I mentions that some ski areas expect to stay open well into summer.

Cool article. Thank you.

On the western slope of the Sierras the canopy of deciduous trees is healthier and more brightly green than I've ever seen it. The state really needed this. I was in Mariposa county earlier this year and saw the devastation that this latest drought had caused, in terms of dead trees. It is really depressing. This rain and snow helps to alleviate all of that.

I have NEVER eaten at Taco Bell. Too uppity.

Once when my young son wanted TB I dropped him off there and went across the street to Wendys.

I will likely have a C 17 for sale in the near future. Downsizing. It's a great saddle; just a hair too wide. I prefer the C 15.

I too have never been and I like crappy Mexican or rather American Tex Mex abomination food. But something about TB, I can't do it. And McDonalds is among my favorite restaurants.

Is it threadless?

seedsbelize 04-07-17 08:52 AM

Once I finally learned to adjust a headset, I've had no problems since. Wheel hubs are much more difficult for me, even wit a hub vise.

I think so.

Now I have tex-mex food on my mind. I may have to make a lunch run to Chipotle for some sofritas.

I'll be in Houston on business in November. You'll have to provide the mask. :lol:

Mission accomplished.

11:32am, Friday. Everything is broken and nobody is smart enough to fix it.

Where's my bar cart, break out the vodka.

Good chance you just have to pop in a new set of greased bearings. Youtube is your friend. Or Park Tools website.
