You'd probably get in trouble it you tried sending smoke signals anyways.

Dappled, and drowsy, and ready to sleep?

You need to realize that it should not be a battle. There is no wrong choice.

? The same except for some of the capital letters?

The one time I forgot my phone on a ride (last year), some freak bad luck caused me to lose the quick link 4 and a half miles from home (yes I know I should carry a spare). I thought I had my phone but when I stuck my hand in my pocket to get it, whaddya know, no phone. Thankfully it was either downhill or flat all the way back so I was able 2.5 miles downhill but was stuck walking after that. Some very kind people hanging out in their front asked if I needed a ride and gladly accepted.

"Sierras"

What did you accept? The farmers daughter? A toke? Something else?

Haha, whoops, somehow skipped the "a ride" part. That's what I get for trying to multitask while at my computer.
I would have also accepted a beer.

Oops, I forgot how sensitive locals are to that. Maybe you were chastised about it once?

cash, grass or ass - no one rides for free!

gonna do a little Sunday funday w a small number of family and friends, w monday off an whatnot. there may even be an after party w some nightcap margs. after party meaning after Lily bedtime.

Gonna do Mexican - trying my hand at marinading 6 lbs of thighs in the AM for grilling in the early evening, pollo asado style. gonna start with achiote/annato paste so not truly from scratch (like the NYT recipe is). And then a big batch of Mexican rice - with El Pato sauce and seasoned broth after an initial browning of raw rice in oil and garlic. Gonna rely on guests for sides and such

PM Biker395. He has ridden all over the Sierra and has incredible pictures to prove it. Edit He is usually on the 50+ forum

What time?

If you think that gets them going, try Frisco versus The City.

I remember when I was in my early 60s, I was getting ‘the eye’ from women possibly in their early 70s which felt very weird. Never had that kind of appeal in high school and not talking about 70 YOs.

Or three times.

My experience with napping is that I tend to wake up feeling more tired and beat up than I was before I lay down. So I went for a ride, and had a great time and now I'm feeling better than I did when I was thinking about a nap. Plus, I got in a nice 24 miles.

Fast learner? Or was it ‘the charm”?

Such a pleasure to send low quality posts while nursing my head cold. Did walk the new dog this AM with the Mrs. It was his first time away from the house (day 3 since we got him) and he did great. Walk a few feet, sit down, take it all in, rinse and repeat. One low growl at another dog, but not on the second. Also managed to get out the lawn tractor and mow the front and back 40s and then play again with the puppy. Our cat Kevin, is really interested in Benny, and hangs with us every time we take the dog out. They chase each other which is fun to watch, even though the cat can whack Benny every so often - showing that he really is an A hole at heart.

Them's fighin' words!!!

LMAO! That is so true. Being a Bay Area rat until age 21, anyone who used that slang term was looked upon with disdain, disbelief and other dis words.

I regret to inform that this afternoon, as I was making my way to DumbDumb Land, our beloved I 75 was closed north of the river. DougRNS

Dumb.

Gaimon has been making videos of our local roads. I have been up and down Piuma many times over the last 37 years.

Sounds like a you problem.

I believe Sierra is already plural when referring to a mountain range.

Sierra as seen from the White Mountains.
