So, the disc brake wheelset is going to be 199g heavier than the non-disc, when you account for the rotors.

you have more tolerance for BS than I. My response would have been bite me or something similar.:thumb:

The football situation has developed not necessarily to Tennessee's advantage, while the general trends of the world have all turned against her interest.

Sad.

you will get a kick out of this but I'm going to ask anyway. What does the Simpson GIF mean? I've seen it before in various posts but I can't figure it out. I never watched the Simpson's much so don't abuse me too much when answering. TIA.
Sincerely,
Your awesome shovel owning buddy and former neighbor.

So one of my friends “inherited” a computrainer from another friend who recently moved. She thinks she can adapt it to use Zwift. I told her I don’t know much about these old computrainers but I fear it may be a huge hassle to get it to work on Zwift.

Anyone know?

Dang. This is the first time the LAJ family has been Ranger-less for nearly 20 years.

Good question. Some gifs are definitely over this dusty old dinosaur's head.

MoAlpha 12-19-20 05:21 PM

Went out for some real miles. Two drivers tried to kill me. One very nearly succeeded with a brush pass.

Told brother not to come for Xmas.

It’s dark and cold and will stay that way for weeks.

I didn’t get enough exercise to regulate my mood this week and my HRV and sleep quality are also down. Fake miles suck.

My least favorite time of year, even when there isn’t a pandemic.

Done complaining.

Mine too. I get about one popular culture reference in 10.

I had one of those asswipes too. I was able to catch her at the light, and I just parked at her right front fender. Still had new car tags on it. I didn't touch it, but I'm not sure she knew that.

Open road and I didn’t see the vehicle again, I emitted high-pitched squeaks and did my outraged weenie dance.

We need a youngster to explain the pop culture references to us.

But I hope your mood improves. This will make you feel more better......

I did 8x4 Squats, hip crease below knees, (the real deal) 185 then got to go on a 3 hour endurance ride. You can weep for me, because it really sucked. All this between getting Little Lotus June's stitches out from being fixed, and selling a Ranger.

I hate selling cars almost as much as buying cars.

I did not post the GIF, and it seemed a curious choice as a reaction to one post.

I didn't watch the Simpsons, but this one seems self-apparent: guy walks in, looks around to see what's happening, and immediately leaves.

Shovel hating. Reported.

Thanks, brother. Always does.

Thats some serious lifting. I’m jealous you have access to weights. I just restarted deadlifts with the resistance bands because did nothing but ab rollouts all summer and my upper back was starting to hurt after working in the kitchen for a few minutes. I’m going to have to start squatting with the bands and doing one-leg chair squats, which I just hate.

Also started some micro-doses of rope jumping/skipping last week, but it did something indescribable horrible to my legs, from which I’m just starting to recover.

I concur. Pretty much like this one, one of my favorites.

That doesn't help but I'm not alone.

back to Cowboys avatar? They've redeemed themselves.
I don't get that thing you posted either. Not on the cutting edge of cultural things. Sad.

BillyD 12-19-20 06:15 PM

Well, I tried the head tube badge. I tried the bird. But BillyD is not BillyD without The Star. :bday:

I've been in bars that were about to erupt, and a little birdie tapped me on the shoulder and said "Uh, let's GTFO here".
