I rode while my bbq maple milk chicken was marinating. 

Looks like thighs. Not enough people know just how good they are.

Bringing this back. Going to over moderate the fuck out of non food posts. You have been warned.

 

We are at Rocky Gap Casino and resort in MD. Amazing resort in a State park. On a big lake with mountain on one side.

 

Epic crab cakes, french onion that isn't too salty and these amazing pork tenderloin medallions bwith this epic sauce.

 

 

Where are the twenty pounds of French fries/gravy?

Two Chipotle burritos is easily a full day's worth of calories--for mere mortals.

Now that the day is basically over, how 'bout yer favorite Mt. Rushmore moment/accomplishment in your life so far? Is this too lame, too broad in scope, or too non-moto for this thread?

My only question is . . . why the tat? What does it mean? A conversation-starter?

"Hey man, what's up with that tattoo?"

"I don't wanna talk about it."

Wait....what is the bike? A CTR 110? Really? Pics? Onlins is probably waaay overkill for that! There are other options for half the cost that would be fine.

Yes, the shocks are for the 110. The problem is finding shocks that will fit a 50 year old motorcycle. The ones that came with the bike were beyond crappy-- and so were the front forks. Both of these components are going to be replaced. This bike will primarily be used as a commuter to and from work, and for pleasure riding on secondary roads. No highway riding. At this point, I really don't care  about the cost. I just want the project done and done correctly.

Okay, so I have reconnected with my restomod guy after getting my money back and offering to pay for my project when it's done to my satisfaction. He is now recommending Ohlins rear shocks. I have read that these components are revered by the riding communtiy for their quality, so I told him to go ahead with installing them. He has told me that they will run aroud $800 per pair. I don't think this is outrageous, but would welcome any input from y'all.

Based on FB, Troy Benson has passed away

Can anyone confirm?  I don't know any details.

Are you talking about the guy in NC who was hit by a Subaru today and killed? Was he a member? The article I read did say he was from Ohio.

So you agree the numbers for my county are safe?

Rick, doesn't it all boil down to relative risk?

If the only criteria on which to base your decision is the ODH daily statistics, you are most likely going to be safe--at this point. Respectfully, I ask why take an added risk? And why risk the health of others? You have no idea if you are shedding the virus asymptomatically. Why not hedge your bets? As a teacher, you are a role model. And I don't see your (or ANY) school districts waiving the option of masking up around students, so you will eventually have to wear a mask, at least at work. May as well get used to it.

Should I pay my 1st half property taxes now, or wait and see if there's another extension/forgiveness?

Might be more federal "gift" checks coming that would help cover property taxes, but we went ahead and paid ours.

Columbus mayor just made masking mandatory

Akron is doing it next week.

This is the same way we treat disobedient children. If you are too careless or immature to follow directions, add a consequence. 

This whole COVID thing has revealed a lot about how too many people couldn't care less about either themselves or others. It's really disappointing--and it's not only the masking-up thing. The embarrassingly bad public behavior of the many "Karens" is just another example.

I think it worse than that. These people are relying on their cognitive bias to make decisions instead of making evidence and data based decisions.

They vote the same way too.

Jim, I totally agree with your assessment of the situation. Not going to go into a lengthy explanation of why. I just do--for OBVIOUS reasons. The younger among us may be incapable of understanding our shared position on this. 

IMO, the best solution to avoid getting COVID is to distance one's self from EVERYONE, wear a mask when it becomes necessary to go out, and not engage in any conversation with others. Get in, get it, and go home--then wash yer hands. Same as it always was when this bullshit started months ago. Those who "don't do the right thing" are setting us back big time, but there's not much we can do about that except stay home and hope that the insanity blows over.

The patients are running the asylum.  

They are indeed. This is a classic case of delayed gratification/denial on a grand scale. Even some people in my town who appear to be my age (64) or older are not adhering to the common sense protocols we all have been bombarded with daily. However, I refuse to engage offenders who are not masking-up. Fuck them.

Your dentist isn't even close to following the rules on being open. It would make me wonder what else he isn't doing that he should, resulting in me walking right the fuck out.

Most dentists are having patients wait out in the parking lot until they are called in. The last place I would ever be for any length of time is in a waiting room.

You are right. It's none of your business But... since you are requesting more knowledge let me take you back to the 70's when we found humor at bad things.

X rated not for the easily triggered. Just for you ED.

 

I will write back when I stop laughing--which may be never.

I trick I use for disc brake rotor is also good for stubborn fasteners. Take a point punch and firmly tap the head of the fastener with one or two strikes. (Don't go Crazy)

This will loosen the thread locker or rust in your case. Then apply penetrating oil. If the bolt head is facing horizontal or down, spray the bolt head and spray compressed air also to help with penetration. Sorry for all the sexual word usage in my answer.

It's none of my business, but I certainly hope the word *punch* does not describe a part of your sexual repertoire. Fuck it--to each his own 🤪 Never mind . . .
