I worked a convenience store 20 odd years back & made a disturbing discovery about the gas pumps. The pumps at the store would read $5 if you paid $5, but the reality was that you only received $4.93. Okay, that wasn´t really to awful on $5, but multiply it by 52 weekly fillups & it adds up to a...

Hopefully, I´ll be gone by then. but my place will be 20 feet under. I suppose this will warrant ´another´ huge real estate bubble where everyone winds up underwater🥴

Limit on brookies use to be 10 under 8¨ & 10 over. Before the beaver dams washed out that was no problem. Secret weapon, worms from under a rotting log 18¨ up from a small split shot worked deep in the willows. One day two bus loads of scouts showed up on Maroon crik with poles. I walked out...

I think yur right on; those pharm ads are designed to make us sick with malice of forethought. It´s only a secondary consideration for most other ads. Sex is supposed to sell, & maybe it does, but not as much as it once did thanks to porn.

Has anyone kept track of our own domestic climate refugees in the last 6 years? 2021 has been a big one for that. The ranks among deniers is thinning rapidly.

I think the whole country is experiencing something akin to cabin fever. The Inuit call it parawatok. I call it pandemic traumatic stress disorder. Whatever it is, it´s driving people nuts. The media thrives on feeding us our daily ration of covid terrorism. Big pharm flogs us with ads that...

No problem, I´ve been avoiding everything & everybody for years. I am a social hermit. I get agoraphobic going to the post office in this one horse dorp. Too deaf for theaters, too cheap for restaurants. & I outgrew nightclubs decades ago.

Every time I so much as think about hunting the deer show up in my driveway & give me the rasberry.

Yup, snow here has seldom lasted more than a cpl days in the last 20 yrs, but it´s damn cold out & the snow ain´t meltin´. I suppose the plus is that we haven´t had a decent snow pack in the mtns for sometime, but what will happen come the run off? It occurs to me we may face another worry...

I am not fond of insurance as legislated extortion. It allows corporations to bleed the public while doing all in their power to escape paying claims. Our taxes pay for medicare which is a national form of insurance & we do have something akin for victims. Of course any gov. insurance would...

Anything below 32 will sap about 20% of a naked battery in a hour´s ride. Roads here have a inch of black ice under 2 of snow, I´m riding indoors.

Fish can have all sorts of unpleasant parasites. One to consider is salmon poisoning via a parasite that may or may not be serious for humans, but will kill your dog. The parasite produces toxin deadly for dogs.

No, that´s your job, & it looks like you´ve got it covered.:) My top weight was 409#.... so I´ve been there. It takes unrelenting determination & a confident attitude. You can believe it when I say I have nothing but sympathy for your husband..

It was not my intention to insult your intelligence , but rather affim it.

That was bike advice & good, It wasn't lecture, It is what he needs to do, period! I think if you love him you¨ll help him do it. THis Is what I had to do. He is not ready for a bike.

I may yet surrender & get a Honda Super Cub, but for now the exercise is keeping me healthy & I don´t need a license or insurance,( i.e. legislated extortion ).

I´ve been there a 337#, most 2 whl e-bikes are rated to only 275#. Some cargo bikes & trikes are rated for more. It is dangerous to make a big turn on a trike over 12 mph, they will tip over. Spending 5k on a 1st ebike probably isn´t wise. I spent $2700, + accessories on my 1st ebike only to...

I began mtn biking in 1959 on a fenderless dbl-springer, late ´40s Monarck with 3¨ balloon tires. Today my riding is markedly tamer, but still on mbs with a decade or two on roadies in between. E-mtbs are general purpose & serve on road as well as trails,( which for me are considerably tamer...
