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

It's going on too thick. Find a way to spray thinner coats.

I don't know why I laughed hard at that.

That was really appropriate BITD when instead of being set up like a liquor store, they were set up like pharmacies - step up to the counter and tell the guy what you wanted, and he'd go fetch it from the back.

During my September tour I was having lunch on a patch of grass at a shopping center in Great Barrington, MA. The business next door was playing 70s music piped into the parking lot and doing a brisk business for a Sunday around 11am. People walking out with unmarked paper bags. A lot of them hippie looking with beater cars. I Googled the business. Turned out to be a pot dispensary.

I'm trying to decide whether I want to do a 'last ride of the year, or a 'first ride of the New Year', or "****” it. Do both!"

All I can say is it was better than the infamously tragic 2020. But that's a low bar.

It's great for hauling groceries. Cheaper to run than an old Honda.

And, when you spray thin coats, spray the next coat while the prior coat is still tacky. That helps the two coats “melt” together and become one rather than multiple layers of cured paint.

I don't think his problem is that his paint is cured. I think it's that his paint is CURSED!!!!!
