Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Very sorry to hear. In November my mother passed, and being the sole heir, settling an estate is no small matter. Hopefully you will have help and support.

Because you had just replied to my Walmart gas purchase post, without any context, that you spent $700 on gas last week.

I wonder how much research went into her deciding that 5-7 minutes is the sweet spot for a "nap."

What was the most you paid per gallon last week? And if there was a Walmart station across the street at $3.85, would you have waited behind another auto to get gas?

Nope. Walmart and Sams sell tier two gas. Not putting that in my cars.

Do they? I have a tier two auto, so I'm less concerned.

WTH

"On its initial petition, it listed estimated assets at less than $50,000 and estimated liabilities between $1 million and $10 million."

1-10 is a large spread.

I highly doubt that Lynskey has under 50 grand in assets. We have about that much in the garage. Is it advantageous in filing to overplay the situation?

That’s what I was thinking. The guy who built my ti frame has all kinds of crazy stuff in his workshop, including a CNC mill.

Hey if/when I consider another new bike, do you think I should put him on my short list?

I do like me some custom geometry Ti action.

I have a similar thought when someone claims a loss of $300K in jewelry when their house gets burglarized.
