Nothing too amazing or intense, but I wanted to try the new bike on White's Hill, where Claire has always had to stop a couple of times to get over on her old hybrid Trek. We both went up and over without stopping and then went to lunch. Eventually, we want to ride all the way out to Point Reyes with more hills along the way.

Given, as an American Citizen, by choice (rather than by accident of birth), I took an Oath, to "support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic" . So, not in this timeline.

Oh boy. Album is For All Our Days That Tear The Heart. Out next week.

When does your MAGA hat arrive?

Congrat mate buddy. Nice one! Yee haa!

For any of you getting the gold model may I suggest an accessory?

I was on a Boat Past the Golden Gate Bridge To San Francisco Where I had a virtual interview, Aced a test (6/6) and answered some questions, which meant I was approved to take an oath later on. Before: Took an oath, which included obeying laws, something which other particular oath takers and keepers seem not to have been doing . ( Sorry ' Liz) Got a personal Message from Joey B But that's just between him and me. 😉 After: And then with my new cultural sensibilities, I felt the need, The need for speed . And then came home. Q: Fellow citizens, how long do I have to wait for the desire for an F150 with a rack of AR-15's to manifest itself, as it doesn't seem to be happening yet? Should I be concerned? Joanne is scheduled for similar ( minus Tom Cruise) on Friday.

Thanks to the great work from @Mirko and advice from @kevin gilmore we just finished retrofitting the GS-X MK2's power supply with a custom made GRLV. I haven't had the time to really sit down and listen to it but first impressions that the amp is quite a bit smoother and more detailed now. 😃

Captain Obvious here: I maintain that Wilson products look uniquely angry at the listener.

Congrats on the less-complicated tax situation! Just took what, 37 years?

Blackened Alaskan Halibut with rice cake, asparagus and smoked mushrooms. Yummm!!!

And if you can't hear that, you should hang up the cans for good cloth ears.

Don't make me choose between the personal Messages from Joey B and Tommy C.

Ethel Cain - Preacher's Daughter I recognize that this is extremely on-brand for me, but holy hell this is good.

^^^ Always buy the thing you want to ride, don't really worry about anything else. Me: finally recovering enough to get out for a proper ride in the woods.

Damnit guys. After seeing your posts ^ I was intrigued and started looking at reviews. Yesterday I had some time between my Niece's commencement at Portland State and a celebratory lunch @ Salty's so I stopped at River City Bicycles and test rode one. Bam. Done. I ended up going with the 2021 model to save a few bucks & because I actually prefer the display up on the handlebar (even though I know it's a much less sophisticated display than the ones on the 2022's). Those are just excuses for the real reason though: I like the color. I will definitely be getting the extended battery once they are available 😁

On that note, decades ago when I had to do similar in the U.S. Navy I mouthed the "and domestic" part. Wasn't going to say it having gone to Kent State and well, American history since the 60s. I thought I knew who they were speaking of. Wrong again Ric.
