you say you have a hard time with decisions. I think you made the right one today. Plus all that cheesecake is great diet food, as is the lore in this thread.

Yeah I had a fun ride. Those people are super friendly and always watch out for each other on their rides. Unlike my other club where the A rides turned into a race.
Turns out the guys who invited me on the 100+ ride had to turn back early because one had a tendon problem.

I still have all those tools and I think some boxes of cups, bearings and axles. I don't miss any of that stuff.

I'm listening to a podcast with an immunologist and she talks about how eating is an inflammatory process. My hunger strike seems even smarter now than it did yesterday.

warm and dry is overrated.

better avoid the nightshades

FYI, the swab isn’t so bad. I got one in each nostril!!

Be more specific

I’ve had three in each. Not bad at all.

You've traveled like a week into the past. Kudos.

I didn't see that they made much difference, like everything else.

I was specific. The "stripples" leave a taste that lasts in your mouth for hours.

Gonna be here tomorrow evening and Friday. They're running steam Friday, I sure hope I can get there in time to see it.

Where?

East Ely. Nevada, of course.

I see there's an Ely up WhyFi's way somewhere, but I don't know if they have an East version there :)

You're traveling 500 miles to see a train?

Is there a problem with that?

Nope, I'm traveling 1330 miles (each way) to take a skills test for a job. Just happen to be passing through lovely Ely.

Of course we went all the way up to and across Wyoming to follow a steam train not too long ago.

Not for me. It just seems unusual.

LesterOfPuppets 02-13-21 10:02 PM

Hmm, I could drive 1858 miles back and drive the entirety of US93. It would be tempting if the chance for treacherous driving conditions were not so great.

My train observations are mostly limited to incidental sightings in West Knox County. Yesterday I spotted a CSX during my slow jog on the MUP. Man, that thing was loud and squeaky.

Have you ever driven the entire length of a US HWY?

Do interstates count? I've been the entire length of 140, 275, 640.

Only 2-digit Interstates count.

Otherwise, I've done a 205, three 405s, a 605, an 805, etc...

I-81 from Metro Dandridge TN to Canada.

I've been on I-40 from the eastern terminus to Albuquerque, NM. Not on the same trip, though.

Velo Vol 02-13-21 10:48 PM

Three digit highways count too, as shown in this nifty animation.
