Not so long ago Amazon deliveries took weeks. Now? Two days is a longer wait than normal. I believe there is a warehouse very close by (how else could they do it?). Such a delight. Here in the land of not being able to get anything useful even after driving the 25 km to the city.

It’s pretty amazing. I can’t say that I understand it, but the musicians do.

I've had 2 extractions, a root canal, some fillings and 2 crowns in the last few years. Not to mention 3 cleanings and multiple x-rays every year. Insurance only pays a little bit of it.
Mrs John has never had a cavity or any dental repair. Ex wife was the same way, perfect teeth, never a cavity.

Do you order items just to see how long delivery takes?

I didn't have anything until I was in my 30s. Since then I've had a crown or two, fillings, and two teeth that spontaneously cracked down the middle. 
Redundant categories.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

All over, neither here nor there.
When one stops cycling, having 6 bikes suddenly becomes ridiculous.
In the process of re doing my fence. Took time off from work to get it done, and then lowe’s lost my order. So now, I have zero personal time left and only about 2.5 days off per week from the rest of my life.
I now have more basses than bikes. And my home gym is 90 percent complete. That’s about sums up my life at the moment.
Oh, I cut down a bunch of trees at my house a couple weeks ago, one of them required me to be on a ladder. I swear the tree was falling on top of me so, I gracefully fell of the ladder and F my right ankle up pretty good. It had stopped hurting but apparently pedaling this morning caused the pain to come back. Just another thing in my life telling me to stop riding for a bit. When I walk up the stairs it feels like I have clothing dragging down the back on my ankle, but i’m not wearing clothes…….

On today’s ride, I loaded the route but somehow my computer was messed up and it was clearly not working correctly. I told one of the other riders (who works in IT) who said just turn it off, turn it on again, and reload.
It worked!
