Thanks - I now get the linen closet joke from "First pair of Mandex" thread...
bowls and a catapult.
You calling me fat or Kirt thin? Or both?

ROTF LMFAO
If I'm not mistaken, according to you - You're so big you couldn't even fit your arm in my linen closet but Kirt could live in there. Your words...
Jeez - "Why so serious?" - Joker :getsome:

if it makes you feel any better, I'm about as short as Mandi and skinny as Kirt.

Give or take a couple depending on the day... lots of running and lifting + 6 -7 meals a day @ 3500ish calories will help me maintain my girlish figure.
I think I am showing the forum too much of my insanity... 🙄
You should start attacking uphill strava segments now.
It's all good...I know my place. Just wanted to see what you'd say...
troof.

I was just talking to Juggernaut about getting into road riding next year. Right now, the only thing I could use for stava hill segments is my 27lb cyclocross sled. Maybe I'll throw on some road tires.. I'm sure with that P.O.S., I won't break any records but I will get really strong so when I do get my hands on a real bike (sub 20lbs), I could see what i'm worth.
When I was in high school, our physics teacher used to tell us these things he found interesting in life. They were building (or had just built) the Merrill Creek Reservoir at the time, and it was something that he was interested in. As kids, this was one of those things that people just made up total BS about and scared each other with. Shit like, "If it breaks it will flood out our town in 8 minutes and we'll all be 26 feet under water." This despite the fact it was like 20 miles away or so.
Anyway, as I look back, he was just a guy who was interested in life, in stuff, in technology and how things worked. And he was stuck in a room with 20-25 jerkoffs going through the high school routine. In essence, we were all assholes and he was stuck with us.
He continually tried to get some of this wonder of things through to us, and honestly I admit that it did work from time to time. But like most science teachers, he dressed like it was 1940 and his physical appearance was less that, shall we say, GQ-like. So more often than not we just made fun or acted like assholes, which I think is the general point of high school for many.
One day he was talking about these claims of damns breaking and capacity and whatnot, and he informed us that the reservoir could handle 3 feet of rain and still not break or flood or have any adverse effects.
Instantly I chimed in, "All at once?" All the other assholes in the class laughed at me, and of course, at him.
He just stared at me.
Anyway, I have no idea what made me think of this. Actually, I think it's the septic discussion I'm having with Utah. We have enough capacity to handle the bathroom needs of the Super Bowl stadium at this point. It made me wonder, "All at once?"
The Break
I always used to laugh when people would write blogs and say, "I'll talk about that after the break." Then they would end the paragraph, start a new one, and talk about whatever it was they were talking about.
As John Cleese says, people who are good at things also innately have the same level of goodness needed to understand just how good they are at that thing. Likewise, totally incompetent people have no idea. Sadly this means that incompetence only effects those of us who actually realize it exists.
The Break
I take the pics from Facebook. Gone are the days when I care about how well the picture nests in the post. If only we have proper HTML in this forum then we could add things like size tags and the wonderful world of blink.
The tank is fully functional still. We have 2 systems right now. One is a cesspool that works perfectly well and the town doesn't like. So we have to dump in excess of 40 f'ing thousand dollars into this shithole. Literally, it's a shithole that costs 40 grand. Actually, more than that.
On Thursday they will pump out the tank, smash it, fill it with dirt & rocks, then dig a hole for the new one. From the pumping to the hooking up of the new tank, I'll either have to shit in a bucket or find a really strong cork.
Is there a reason Capers used green for both Carson & I. Is green the International Color of Fat? Next raccoon I catch I'm releasing at your house.
The Break
This groundhog left the tomatoes alone. He liked the squash/cucumber leaves mostly, and some other leaves of things I don't remember.
The Break
Speaking of Strava, at the end of the ride last night I had pulled almost all of Maple (my old hood) and at the end I was still in front and attacked this 1 hill that I used to own and lost over the summer. It was dark. I took the KOM by 4 seconds, overall segment was about a minute. In the process I set a new CP1 record at 600w. Actually, I broke Strava somehow as it claims that my 1:03 power was higher than my 1:00 power, which is statistically impossible.
I guess actually it's not, now that I think about it. But it's really odd and probably pretty rare to be able to do that. I think I'm in the realm of math here than only like 4 of you will really get so I won't bother explaining, since I know Kevin is starting to fidget and hit his desk at this kind of talk.
So how are the rollers anyway?
