Welcome! Wishing you many safe and happy miles!!!

Flavor of the week....

Crazy shit! It has to be a better year, right!

Wife blew a tire today....hmmm...wonder what's next?

Don't feel too bad! I just had to fix my leaking dishwasher (new vent fan system), oven (new heating element), coffee maker (bought new Keurig), and now I need a compressor relay for my fridge (lost everything in our fridge and freezer). Also, was riding my RZR the other night, went in for a warm up, came back out, and it's not firing now. Just put a new Lithium battery in it too ($200). This has all happened in the last two weeks. FACK!!!!! So, things could be worse. But I feel your pain...and so does my fucking wallet!!!

Got it ready for Rays.

That is a good deal! Thanks for sharing! I love REI.

I will cross my fingers if this is made available to OR members.... I am a bourbon drinker, and love trying new blends/brands.

$25-$40

But that only guarantee's you a t-shirt. Wtf did I do? Sorry. Congrats on the Katoom Todd.

Welcome. It's going to be a long winter for you...lol

Yes, book extras when you get there. There may be different groups offering the same excursion for different prices. They're almost all willing to negotiate some. There are direct flights from CMH and CVG to CUN. Only way to go.

Also Sting Ray.

We went to Beaches in La Romana DR in September. The week between Irma and Jose. This is the first time we've ever gone anywhere other than the winter time. That won't happen again. It's freaking miserably hot and humid. DR was fine, but resort is outdated. A/C didn't work for about 30 hours after a tropical storm. We got 7 nights all inclusive including air for $2600. That included upgrading to the exclusive adult section, and upgraded seats in the air, among some other small upgrades. We spoke to another couple that used travelbybob to a different resort, and they got a very similar trip for just under $2k. English is not their first language here, and it can be hard to communicate if you don't know Spanish. We went to Riviera Maya two winters ago to a brand new Secrets Akumal Bay. It was really, really nice. About $4k all inclusive with air. January Secrets Negril Jamaica was around $4500. We didn't go to Mexico in September because the travel agent wasn't too comfortable with all of the crap that has been going on. Not to say this stuff wasn't happening before, it just seems a little uneasy down there now. Hope this helps.

I buy WD by the gallon. And go through a gallon a year, at least. You dirt riders probably know that it's great to coat the underside of your fenders before riding in wet conditions. Also cleans plastic very well. I typically spray the whole bike except tires, brakes, grips, seat and levers. Water displacement.

Agreed! I'm very surprised that she had it on, as we have fairly similar "views". I think she may have been surfing and caught that. And I also agree with IP.

Doughnuts = The Devil

I've "quit" a few times throughout my life for one reason or another. But I always come back. I started riding when I was about 8 years old (now 48), and it has always been at the top of my list of things to do for my own enjoyment. Good luck with your decisions!

What are peoples thoughts on children taking a knee? My wife was just watching "The View", and a lady on there said that her son should never have to feel uncomfortable exercising is his rights. She said you could feel the tension.

Sparkling! Welcome!

I have to have a line between my personal life and my professional life. I will/can not bring politics or personal beliefs into my place of business, without expecting repocution. These snotty brats can? Apparently I'm a whiney bitch because I can't mix politics/personal beliefs with my money making...

I will admit that I do not. However, I am not making millions of dollars, on national stage, as an entertainer, portraying negative attitude towards our national anthem (with millions of Americans watching and being influenced by the athletes). I have almost no influence on anyone, and nobody is watching me as a role model. Lol...I guess I bit, huh?

I was really hoping for a good un-biased review....is that what this is? LOL It won't be long before Ivan has some of those issues you listed corrected. There has been a lot of complaints about the Raider only having a 5 speed. But the Raider's 5th and the Venture's 6th have such a close gear ratio, it makes me think that I would rather not have that the 6th gear. Your review definitely confirms that.

Great post! I will not be watching NFL this year. If all "professional" sports start choosing to kneel, I will not be supporting them in any way. I sure hope none of the CBJ players plan to do this. I will really miss watching and going to see them!

Fack! How do I freeze? And are there consequences for freezing? What can't I do? What about the "free monitoring" that Credit Karma offers?
