Been listening to this at work.

Weekends are twilights.intermediate,advance only ,5pm-dark.we had plenty days this season. Soon as we know the schedule I post it.

Just cuz you never say or do anything important doesn't mean others don't. For example the President of your bank that could cough up your account info to the Chinese who procede to clean you out. Or the politician that is working on The Donalds new trade deal with the Chinese......

That would be fine if i trusted the car to make it that far. I'm looking at Datsun 240Z-280Z's. Breaking down in the middle of the desert would surely cost me more than the shipping cost. When i go to buy my next daily vehicle, i plan on buying down south somewhere and doing the fly/drive deal.

It's really hard to boot in safe mode using F8 in Windows 10 - especially if the OS is on an SSD. The load time is so quick for the OS, the window of opportunity where the F8 key functions is incredibly brief and it's almost impossible to do. Your best bet is to insert a windows 10 disk and boot from the disk to use the repair utility. If it doesn't boot from the CD automatically, you may need to hit the 'delete' key (could be something else depending on the motherboard) to boot to the BIOS and set the startup drive to be the CD drive.

Luckily I use the OR forum as my "Safe Space" because I know everyone is sensitive to my feelings. Nice to have this forum to feel warm and fuzzy without being attacked.

I call them Yippies. Not enough money to be yuppies and not enough drug use to be hippies.

Actually, the day after tomorrow is going to be the worst. Feels good though.

Well I hit a milestone this week. I'm down a few more pounds and technology not obese any more, I'm just overweight.(by these charts that "experts" made up). Going by those "experts" I need to be at 205 lbs to be at optimal weight so I'll never see that. Not because I don't think I can, just because I don't really want to. 220 is my goal, so anything under that I'll be happy as a clam. Btw, my starting weight was 298 back in February.

Don't use XP, no more patches for it. Not a safe thing to do on the interwebs.

For the longest time I collected and restored old Schwinns. At one point I had over 35 bikes in my house. I still have a bunch of old ones. Phantoms, Sting Rays, Fastbacks, Krates, Paramounts, lightweights, middleweights, etc. They can be seen here: https://blue72beetle.smugmug.com/Schwinn/ One of my favorite old Schwinn stories is the rare 1951 Paramount Tourist I got for $160 in outstanding condition. Hung onto it for awhile, then sold it on ebay for $1,200. Another one is the one-year-only Flamingo Pink Tandem I found just a few blocks from my house. They were the original owners and won it in a radio contest in Chicago (home of the old Schwinn company) in 1977. Never rode it, the crank bearings were spotless. The one I regret selling the most was the 1971 Grey Ghost Coaster in original paint. My real bicycle addiction is the Schwinn Homegrown line. From back when Schwinn made high end bikes before they became a walmart brand. I started a Homegrown group on Facebook, it's got nearly 500 people now and we've done some cool stuff in keeping these classic bikes going. Even have Mert Lawwill on there and some people that used to work for Schwinn. I used to ride a lot, I haven't lately, I need to get out and ride more. Problem is just like with motorcycling, northern Indiana is boring. https://blue72beetle.smugmug.com/Homegrown/ Yeah, you could say I love my Homegrowns....
