Ogre Posted May 22, 2020 Report Posted May 22, 2020 The rotator repair has been a bitch. The surgeon showed me pics at my last visit. A 1/4” hole straight through the tendon. I’m getting along just fine but my gym time has ceased since January when I had the accident. It shows. I feel like ***** losing all that muscle mass. Muscles remember so I will get it back but it’s tough to look in a mirror. If it was due to my own lack of drive I could look but to have the giddy up and not the health to do it eats at me.

Hydraulic 10" brakes, 2x10 gear set. So light I couldn't believe it. Just a friggin sweet ride. I've kinda told myself that if I keep this up for a year or so I'll spoil myself on something. I've had a few bicycle starts that didn't take; I'm a few weeks into it. Nice thing is I picked up a Burley Piccolo on CL for RosePie and she seems to dig riding. We did 4 miles today on mildly hilly roads. When I do ride alone, not pulling 60lbs of kid and bike around is a revelation, LOL. 1
FogBat Posted May 29, 2020 Report Posted May 29, 2020 Ugh! That time of year again. The Return of the Killer Windshield, 2020 edition.
nfreeman Posted June 5, 2020 Report Posted June 5, 2020 Bump. My complaint: I was back in NYC for a couple of days this week for the first time in nearly 3 months. NYC is flawed, like everything else, but I love it. And it felt like it's taken some body blows. FU, Wuhan flu.
FogBat Posted June 5, 2020 Report Posted June 5, 2020 People who cut truckers off at the very last second just so they can catch their exit. Newsflash, people! We can’t stop on a dime. Help you if you cause a wreck and a trucker has a dash cam. You’ll lose in court.

I’ve seen a few videos of A-holes who cut off truckers or get into road rage instances with truckers and slam on their breaks ... they always lose. ? I don’t want to see anyone lose their life, but I love it when I see their little vehicles get crushed a little due to their ignorance or road rage ?

Yeah, but I don’t need to come across any ambulance chasers. You know, the ones with the billboards?

Weave Posted June 25, 2020 Report Posted June 25, 2020 Our office and manufacturing areas are almost fully packed up and shipped out. For sale sign in front of the building this AM. Very soon we’ll be making a move we didn’t want to make. 4

They'll wait til the very last minute to tell us they're gonna ***** us out of those. I'm back to work everybody! Today was my first day back since mid March. I walked in and saw the exact same guests in the exact same places. And while I was away someone ***** my inventory up damn good! Holy balls! Just call me to come in! Don't touch my ***** system! It took me an hour and a half to get it fixed and just when I thought I could relax, we're getting another shipment today, so someone else's paws are gonna be digging around in my inventory room! Same as it ever was. 1
Ogre Posted June 26, 2020 Report Posted June 26, 2020 I lost my mother three years ago today to cancer. She was 69 and died nine months to the day after my father died. They were good people. Full of love and honesty. She didn’t fear it one bit either. 2

Indabuff Posted July 16, 2020 Report Posted July 16, 2020 Tornado coming through would probably suck...
LabattBlue Posted July 16, 2020 Author Report Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) I’m okay dealing with all the Covid related restrictions because it’s summer, and even just sitting in the backyard with an adult beverage is great. BUT...if this thing comes roaring back with a vengeance in late fall/early winter when the weather in WNY turns to crap, and we are all stuck in the house for the most part for weeks on end, IT WILL REALLY SUCK. ?

I've been thinking about this more than I should. Part of my routine is a quiet place to chat with the locals on Friday night, and there is usually a brewery involved on most weekends for maybe just an hour or two. It's my social outlet. Right now I'm good with what we have. I can sit at a patio table and have a beer. Chat with a server. Winter is going to really be dreary if I can't feel safe for a couple of hours on a barstool. 1

SHAAAUGHT!!! Posted July 16, 2020 Report Posted July 16, 2020 I'm sick of riding my bike around and not being able to go inside and cool off in a bar I've never been to before, or even one I've been to a thousand times... 1
