Things that make you smile :)

Pulled out of my driveway and immediately came upon some asshat in a Miata convertible who was tailgating the car in front of him. Lead car was doing about 36 in a 30 zone. I hovered back for a 1/4 mile just watching. Front car makes a turn at the light so I nudge up and start getting close to the Miata. Not even 100 feet past the light he’s slowing down looking to park by the local bar. Now I’m up on his tail with full lights. He pulls hard into the curb (no blinker of course) and I pass super close, giving him a whiff of my HEMI exhaust. I hear something like, “Blah blah f’ing assh*le!”

Put a smile on my face for about an hour. 🙂

My son was supposed to be a freshman at UMass Amherst this fall but at the last minute they closed campus and went 100% remote. He was really struggling with being home while his friends all went away. My uncle who lives in LaGrande, OR was gracious enough to have him as a guest and do his remote learning from there. I think he might reconsider umass for eastern oregon univ. Today he did a 21 mile hike to the top of eagle cap mt with my cousin....

Last year I lost my ⅜ breaker bar with an 18mm socket doing a steering gear bolt recall, I left it in the car right on one of the nuts for the rack & pinion. Yesterday right on my birthday a co-worker got the car and found it during a scheduled service. As you can see I had to buy a new one since I love that breaker bar, now I have two lol

Coworker to customer: "I fixed your rattle ma'am". Customer: "thank you, it's been driving me nuts for the past year".
 
Yesterday I stopped at REI to buy a hip pack that was showing as in stock at the Paramus store. They could not find it. So this morning I ordered it for pick up at the store as it was showing as available for pick up today. In a few hours I received a notification that there was an inventory discrepancy and the order was cancelled, with a 15% discount coupon attached. So I purchased the same hip pack shipped to my address but 15% cheaper. I was really looking into getting the hip pack before the weekend but I guess I will settle for cheaper!

If your doing the Top of Skyline ride I have an old one I’ll give you. It’s just a basic hip pack not a bike specific hip pack.

Thanks Matt, yes, I'm trying to make it. No worries, I already have a regular size backpack/hydration pack that I use regularly. I just wanted something lighter/less bulky that I could use also when hiking with the wife as well as while riding. It should arrive on Tuesday. Thank you though.
