I'm a music guy but everyone that's coming over will be welcomed to the eclipse by Dave Chapelle's Rick James character

I'm just glad I opened this up to pictures of a vehicle and it wasn't a new testicle like I was fearing

It's unlikely because life has gotten crazy with a newborn again BUT watching just in case I can make a short appearance. Somehow I miss some of you assholes 

damn there are some names on there I totally forgot about and this was a couple years before I even started coming around

now that's my kinda trip, looks like a blast!

Jesus does that place suck.

A good friend of mine's husband own a bomb BBQ joint like 15 mins NE of downtown Cinci. He loves BBQ and frequenting every joint he can to get ideas, inspiration, etc. and I've never really heard him have a negative thing to say until I asked him about that one. Thankfully he steered me away because ever since I've not heard good things. 

contractors are annoying these days. I went with stamped concrete instead of pavers because of cost and durability and still looks like pavers. 

I only regret letting my wife talk me in to a textured stamp that collects water and dirt in spots

Went across the street to a highly rated BBQ place. It was terrible.

Was Lucius wasn't it?

I voted 2 but 1 would be it with a less dopey looking dragon

All I know is I rode this route (or one very close to it) for the first time in 2010 with @Pauly and I don't recall Tonik being around back then or at the very least as active as now. 

Shit I think I have the same TV as my main one in my basement but from 2012

Large group rides are overrated, but I definently enjoy rolling with the usual suspects that I know and trust. Crashing is never off the table, but it can be mitigated with competent riders. 

A failure I see more than anything is a lack of understanding between new riders and veteran riders on what constitutes a ride. While I firmly stake my flag in the soil of "personal accountability", some folks get in over their heads. The difference between riding a bike to work every day and riding a bike in the twisties is massive. It is not the same thing in the slightest to the average rider. 

I have a friend that has been riding for decades, but he commutes. When we hit the mountains he can't begin to stay on pace with the rest of us. He just doesn't have that skillset because it isn't how he rides. He can pilot a bike, but he has to do it at his own pace. Luckily, he's mature enough to recognize this and doesn't try to keep up. That plays a major role.. personal accountability and leaving ego at the house. 

This rings so true. I was almost always the least talented rider on any group ride with you guys and managed to stay in one piece because of it. I can really only think of two moments that I was truly on the edge of being over my head and luckily managed to recover both 

My quality of work deteriorates as I get further in to painting so I've always done the trim first because I have more patience then the walls

So? Honda still sucks. 

don't miss working on my VFR do ya? 🤣

Looking fantastic and love your game plan with the whole thing.

If you like this electrician, can you give me their contact info because I need to find one to wire up my bbq shack once this pavilion is up

Don't get the plastic tiles. I have an unknown brand in my garage the PO put in and they suck. I haven't taken them out yet because I'm afraid to see what hellscape is underneath and all my $ are getting sunk in to this BBQ shack patio project to deal with it

Get the vinyl flooring stuff

I'm eagerly following this one. Going to be a fun journey

So glad that place went out of business. It sucked.

100% on board with this. I only went one time but was not impressed.

As for a gap trip, I'd be real interested bringing my jeep/truck bastard especially with the OG's. @Likwid got me looking at facebook pics not an hour ago  

If it's greater than ~20% difference in what blue book is on it, they'll send a letter to both the buyer and seller. Both parties have to fill it out and the reasons have to match or you'll pay the tax plus a fine at minimum.

Found this out when I bought a car with a rebuilt title and paid a quarter of what a similar year and mileage non-branded title model.

The only good part of IMS after the first time I went in 2009 was the OR after party

That Porsche is magic.

Great, plane Covid. I flew to Florida in December and got me some Covid. I'm flying to Atlanta in June and half expecting the same shit. 

Thanks for reminding me to dread the upcoming flight. 

if it makes you feel better, I flew the day after they announced no more mask requirement, from FL to OH, on a Spirit flight no less and escaped it 

Put on wheels, tires and suspension bits to get it to have an actual truck look and stance 

I can't drive for shit but this would be fun as hell.

Just a bunch of junkers

this is my dream garage, just missing a '68. First time in 2+ years I've missed my Firehawk after seeing this photo

All those years of me planning to lose weight and finally hit and surpassed a goal. Down 25lbs since last July and not a single workout was had
