I have a whole house battery, so I would never have a problem getting off the couch. But mine's not a powered recliner so I'll never know

I also can't think of a headliner that I saw that was bad though sometimes the mix wasn't great particularly in arenas. I have seen few bad opening acts but also some good ones and one that was far better than the headliner (unknown band INXS opening for Men at Work, they were awesome and you...

I've gone to several alone. It's pretty much the only way I can go these days, my wife doesn't care for music concerts and I don't have a lot of friends that I know well enough to invite or that like music enough. And I don't go too often either. But I do miss the pre/post concert banter.

We used to feed them here but for the most part you only feed a dominant one and the ones that snuck in when he/she was chasing off another. For little birds they sure are big fighters :catfight:

Hmmm :idea:

Paranoid was the first album I bought with paper route money! Dad HATED Iron Man, so naturally we played it constantly at high volume

Congrats on both accounts!

Costco has some great stuff at decent prices. I often will nab a Lagavulin 16 when they have them on sale

Good luck with your retirement and continued remission mojo. Retirement is great, best work decision I ever made :lol:

And to start the new bike out right I managed to put a cotter pin through the back tire. Went over 8K miles with the old bike without any problems and didn't even get 100 miles in on the new one. Still made it home without flatting, got to love tubeless tires. I never had such a big puncture on...

That was a big factor. The old bike had Shimano Claris, 2x8-speed (48/32T FSA Vero Adventure crank, 11-34T Shimano cassette) while the new bike has Shimano FC-RX610-2 (30/46T) and Shimano CS-HG710 (11-36T). So not only more but a lower overall range. Yeah I probably won't be able to keep up with...

Not at all related to the accident but I just got a new gravel bike. I'd been thinking about it for a while, the old bike was a Claris groupset so not the best and my knees were reminding me often. Besides with no kids why not spend the money (and given all the accidents recently I might not...

I have all my first real guitars :cop:

Continued training for an upcoming century ride. Got in 6 out of 7 days this week in spite of the expected rain (which mostly didn't come except on Friday). Nothing tried to kill me at all this week so a bonus. Was supposed to get a new bike but it seems to be MIA hopefully tomorrow. I was...
