    "I want you to enjoy your bike."

    MCATrophy: I am so sorry. There is nothing I can think of to say other than I don't think it would hurt so much if your 47 years and 8 months together weren't the greatest joy of your life. I guess it hurts so much because she gave you so much. I was just away for 2 weeks, in "Paradise", yet...

    What's the Weather like where YOU are today?

    Weather has really sucked here lately in NJ. A week ago it hit 91. Then, by mid-week it was 42 going up to low 60's A few sunny days, but lots of rain, mostly cold, overcast. At least everything is growing, including the poison ivy. Gettin' out tomorrow for 2 weeks in the Bahamas to work on...

    "I want you to enjoy your bike."

    MCATrophy: As usual, I haven't been around in a good long while and I just read all the way through this thread to today's posts. I cannot imagine what you are going through. My wife and I will be married 30 years in August and I have never, ever been closer to another person in my life. I...

    What's the Weather like where YOU are today?

    After weeks and weeks of TRULY ****** weather, we finally got a break this week and weekend. Yesterday, it was between 55 in the morning and 65 later, not a cloud in the sky and no wind. Couldn't have been a more perfect Spring day. I spend most of it outside doing yard work, specifically...

    Temper, temper!

    People don't respect parked bikes. Never have. The only way to keep a car from crowding a space your bike is in is to put 2 or 3 bikes in the space. DC used to have metered motorcycle spots, that cost far less than car spots. But one ******* in a cage could block 4 of them at once. Somehow...

    spinal injections

    Wow! We are ALL a buncha old farts! Just yesterday my 86 year old MIL had the epidural and steroid injections for stenosis. Quite quickly that and a new med has really given the old dear relief-she was in horrible agony. They will have to repeat it but it was a godsend for her.

    An IPA For Me

    Stay away from any woman who drinks more than one or two beers at a sitting. My brother was married to a woman who would have beer for breakfast. She went from tall and willowy to obese and went from sneaky and untrustworthy to being a total unprincipled slob. He is SO glad to be rid of her!

    You do know that "Klim" is "Milk" spelled backwards, don't you?

    Cautionary Tales about Seth Laam!

    I haven't been on the FZ1 board in many years. But there were always folks who had an axe to grind, or, more accurately, a competing product to sell, who would trash Ivan. But I don't remember ANYONE who had his products complaining about them, and I don't think I have dementia yet....What was...

    Why I Like Being Back Here

    I love politics and love political forums. I love writing my ideas and thoughts down and debating with intelligent people with opposing views. But If doesn't work in lots of special interest forums like this one. Does it matter if you are a Liberal or Conservative when discussing the which...

    What's the Weather like where YOU are today?

    Yesterday it was single digits, today, it's in the 50's and rained most of the day. Sun came out for about 10 minutes.

    Best Place To Retire Early

    Good decision tree! I'm ALWAYS allergic to nazis! I would think most Americans would be since we fought a war against them. I LOVE visiting Chicago and would have enjoyed living there when we were younger--our son goes to school there and LOVES it, too! But winters are vicious and my wife...

    Cell phone problem

    OK, I have a solution, but it's going to require a LOT of bungee cords, 3 pairs of handlbar-mount speakers, a REALLY big alternator, and probably heavier front fork! :) OTOH, the Galaxy III has a charging icon that's shaped like a little battery. If it doesn't have a lightning bolt through...

    Happy Valentine's day Ya'll

    No grand-kids yet...some grand-nieces though. Like to have one in 10 years, but it's not up to me!

    What's the Weather like where YOU are today?

    Gone from bitter sub-zero cold to wet, sloppy snow. We have ice coming tomorrow. Sometimes I hate living in NJ, and this is one of those times....

    Best Place To Retire Early

    I have a couple of friends in the Seattle area. They love it there! If it didn't rain so much I might like living there as well. It's a great place! But retirement's gonna be on the beach.....

    You just can't fix stupid

    I had flat feet as a kid and had to wear special inserts into my shoes for many years to fix it. No, you can sometimes fix ignorant, but you surely can't fix stupid!

    Best Place To Retire Early

    I won't mind living on an island when we retire. It's 90 miles long, with a bridge to another 30-mile long island. Just must remember to ride on the left! Can't get good chain lube there, either. All they have is Liquid Wrench Chain Lube. And the TSA pulled the good stuff out of my checked...
