I think from your reply (and subsequent additional thread) you're not understanding what I'm saying. Your reply here seems to imply that you think I was saying "Why bother obeying the rules?" That's not what I said. In fact, that's not on the table for me. I am saying "why bother explaining why...

I'm not. And what's the point in lying about knowing the rules anyway? Honestly, I could give what I personally see as a cogent, thorough argument to explain and defend my decision to ride there at night and the result of that would be absolutely not one person's opinion on the act itself would...

Yeah, I am aware.

Hey John! Yeah, I probably should have looked at that, huh? :oops: I didn't mind driving all the way out there, though, anyway. I love being out there at night. I did that a bunch of times during the pandemic when Wiss started getting too overcrowded even during the week. It's just a cool night...

This is a true statement ... I drove out there last night because I was feeling stir crazy after not being outdoors at all for four days and was hoping to do a nice figure 8 to combine orange and blue. Blue was an absolute shitshow - there must be at least 40 or 50 trees down across the trail...

There's definitely stuff taken right from the books in that trailer - the numbers projecting in front of people's eyes, for one: I completely forgot about that. If they ultimately go through the whole trilogy in the series, I can't imagine how they'll handle the end. I don't think we're at a...

I am about as excited for this series as I'm capable of being about anything. I'm still sure that Benioff and Weiss will find a way to screw it up, but I don't even care - this trailer looks fantastic ...

With just about a week and a half left in the year, what was your favorite read this year? And are you looking forward to anything in particular in 2024? Goodreads gives each user their "Year in Books", so I was looking through my list for the year and I've had quite a few books I really...

Spotlight on Kermit (who we refer to as "Kerm", pronounced "Kurrrrrrrrm".) Kerm is the tripod we got from a rescue who themselves got him off the street after his accident. Kerm, by the way, is jacked. When we got him, he was this undernourished little mouse of a cat, but now looking at him...

Yeah, it is kind of close to Nox, but the ride is definitely different. It's not quite as beginner-friendly as Nox is. Some of it is, but other parts are more like French Creek, and still some others are their own thing altogether (e.g., the four or five gulley drops along Blue.) Honestly, for...

This type of event seems to be growing in popularity. I've seen a few popping up on socials lately. It seems like a great idea for an author looking to sell books, too - I just attended Geddy Lee's tour for "My Effin' Life" and part of the ticket price included a copy of the book. Considering...

Taping it wouldn't matter because half of the destruction happens because he chews cardboard chunks off and then spits it out on the floor. (Then the next morning we always walk barefoot across saliva-soaked cardboard confetti.) He's like small furry wrecking ball with everything. My wife thinks...

Buddy had his third birthday recently, so we gave him his own cardboard play house. How it started ... How it's going ...

Just a heads-up for anyone thinking of riding Wiss and/or Belmont anytime soon: both are dealing with some aggressive yellowjacket or wasps nests in a few areas. There are two I know of in Wiss right now - one about halfway up Twisty-Turny (the climb up to the meadow from the south side - not...

Dave - It's been a lifetime since I lived in that region, but back in the day, there were tons of studio apartments in Jersey City in the area around SPC (now SPU) and Jersey City State. I know that area changed a ton after 9/11 as a lot of the firms from the trade center moved across the bay...

Not what I am saying at all. You might be faster on a 34:22, while someone else might be faster on a 34:20. So ... who wins? You don't know, do you? Of course you don't. Because you don't have the most important piece of information, do you? You don't know who is on that 34:20. I don't...

Every possible assumption that could lead to a notion of some kind of marginal gain from this could only work under the premise of "all else being equal", which is definitely never, never, never ever going to be the case. You're not racing in a vacuum against an atom-for-atom clone of yourself...

This would be much better if there was a fully dressed skeleton at the wheel. Better still if it was a bear skeleton.

Why burden your car battery? All you need is one of these - just supply the elbow grease every time you're at a stoplight and you can have tunes for every ride ...

BTW, I was today years old when I learned that one of the guys on the moto that was suspended for holding up Vingegaard on yesterday's stage was former crowd favorite and "petit-moteur-qui-pourrait" (little-engine-that-could) from the Armstrong era Thomas Voeckler (who now works for France...
