I for one am really glad none of the stupid shit I said as a kid is still around. I was a complete dumbass, to the bone. If I saw a post from past me, I would be so triggered.

As a 40 year old man, this was very funny

That assumes every seat is filled.

So you're saying you're unemployed?

It's called an occlupanid, thank you.

Yep, that's what I was thinking. You pull it off because you like them and it's authentic to your personality.

I usually change the parameters to things like utm_source=yourmom, just for kicks.

Lol, now that's thinking. Concrete block walls just wide enough to let a Prius through. I bet the truckbrians would love that so much.

They can conjure hurricanes with cloud seeding and steer them with Doppler Radar, but they're too stupid to do it the day before the election. Go figure.

A local parking lot to me recently needed to add more spaces, but of course, they were already occupying all the space they possibly could. So, what did they do? They made the spaces narrower and labeled them "compact" LOL. So now, the guy that double parks his giant ass truck in one of those spots will take up one and a half spaces, and people naturally just don't use the half space that's left. So instead of having more spots, you end up with a whole bunch of double parked compact spots used by XXL Fords.

Big brain ideas over here y'all.

They're doing a great job of it, I will say.

Ah yes the Ford F9000 Pedestrian Pulverizer

 
 

Description says it all. 3 years ago I hadn't hit a gap jump bigger than a bike length.

There's nothing quite like landing something for the first time. I've been eyeballing this line for almost 2 years and when I first saw it I never thought for a moment I would be riding it, but this past weekend I broke the mental barrier and executed.

 

I never thought I would do this run, but this past weekend I finally managed to break through the mental barrier and execute. I cannot describe how ecstatic I was when I got on the on-off.

So I restored my old razor. I used the bakelite scales as a template for a piece of 1/4" paduak. Painstakingly sawed it in half and shaped it with sandpaper and lits of patience. Pinning was the hardest part. I ended up bending like 3 pins before I finally got it close enough for my liking.

What do you do when it's raining? I've been swimming and using the rock climbing wall, but I'm really missing the trail rides. How do you keep busy?
