10 speed Di2 is an orphaned technology. You may be scouring eBay for parts if something fails.

For god's sake, flip it.

That's not bad, specially with those wheels. 10-sp is a bit of a bummer if you already have 11-sp bikes, but other than that...

Well, no white garage door, didn't take the saddle bag off, not on big ring, valve stems not aligned, shadow in the pic, stem not slammed...

Oh wait, wrong thread? :foo:

So am I getting faster sitting here thinking about riding fast?

Weird

WTF, that place is terrible. We haven't been there in maybe 10 years.


"Sure," I text back.



Yay, he tells me next he wants a Bloomin Onion.


!!!! I google it: 1950 cal for a Bloomin Onion.


We get there and he orders the Bloomin Onion and a big mug of beer. Then he spies this Four Course Meal Deal. So he orders that: baked potato soup, wedge salad with blue cheese, steak, mashed potatoes and a slice of cheesecake with chocolate sauce. Also as the meal proceeds, he gets another beer.


It was epic. He couldn't actually eat the cheesecake, had to take it home. I helped him with the onion. But he ate the rest of it, I'd guess it was 3000 cal easy.


How he is not fat is beyond me. :)

Epic, indeed.

You haven't experienced Monsoon Season yet.

Rain and heavy T storms at 4pm daily, followed by high humidity and heat all night. Fun.

I had steak at Olive Garden a few months ago and it was better than the ones I've had at Outback.

A certain somebody is playin' the 41 for suckers, man. He trolled them for a couple of months, now he's just casually reeling them in. :lol:

Incorrect. Very, very harsh, and it just ain't fair.

Haha I told him I was just glad that he didn't want to go to Buco di Bepo.

See that? People like topslop got greedy and got carried away with the bread.

See, this is why we can't have nice things.
(Is there an echo in here?)

I would be hypocritical if I named names . . . even if I mentioned what notorious forum he comes from. :innocent:

PepeM 06-28-17 08:17 PM

I thought 'trolling' was a really, really bad thing to do in here. I guess there are different standards for different people.
