  1. I think if you hang out in the checkout lane of your local grocery store, you'll find various publications which can answer those questions for you.
  2. Well, we'll have to agree to differ on that. But I'm more curious where you got your information that masks can retain the virus. Is this conjecture, or is there research behind it?
  3. I've had a Fox Transfer for two years now, the only issue has been wear and tear on the cable. Quite happy with it.
  4. While I think that your attitude is precisely why New Zealand has contained the virus, while in the USA it's a full-blown pandemic, I am quite curious about your statement above. Do you have some sort of (preferably scientific) evidence to support this?
  5. You’re saying I should listen to Abbott and Trump?
  6. We’re not scared - we’re just not ignorant. Science will catch up with you.
  7. Kinda slowly, mainly due to the heat. I do have everything I need to build several ramps and skinnies, just need to get my shit together and do it.
  8. I don't live in fear, but I also REALLY don't want to catch this thing. It's still out there, and if wearing a mask in a grocery store and steering clear of pubs and restaurants means I won't catch it, then that's exactly what I'll do. We're fortunate, we have a decent size house and back yard, and everything we need, so life is not hard -- just different. Now, I'm off to clean my guns in case the anti-maskers attack ...
  9. Speaking of the gut, you forgot sugar, sweet sugar. https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/09/13/493739074/50-years-ago-sugar-industry-quietly-paid-scientists-to-point-blame-at-fat
  10. By the bathrooms at the skate park trailhead, IIRC.
  11. Just saw this today: https://cbsaustin.com/news/local/austin-sees-dramatic-rise-in-covid-19-cases-since-economy-started-reopening
  12. For those who have been following along, I have an update. CAMPO have announced a meeting of the Transportation Policy Board on Monday, June 8. Agenda Item 6 reads as follows: This action will defer $633 million in currently funded projects to be reallocated to the IH-35 Capital Express Project. Individual projects selected for deferral will be removed from the 2021-2024 Transportation Improvement Program but may be included in future TIP amendments as additional funding becomes available from state and federal sources. I've attached an edited version of their spreadsheet, which initially looked as though it had been designed as a middle-school project. Under scenarios A, B and C, the recommendation is to defer funding for the N Walnut Creek Trail (I assume they mean Section 2, which continues east from Walnut Creek Park to I-35) until some unstated time in the future. You can sign up to speak at the meeting if you so wish, but it sounds like they have already made up their minds - don't expect the 'Big Loop' to be built anytime soon, or as CXAgent would say, 'in my lifetime'.

  13. You’re in luck, Senior Passes are $80 for life!
  14. You might consider your Strava user name when commenting. Is it your nerd name, or ‘The Tip’, or perhaps something like SATN?
  15. You can get those big orange screw-in ones at Breed & Co. Might have to increase your budget to ten bucks or so, though.
  16. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B28QS8G
  17. You move it! <sticks tongue out>
  18. Agreed, this thread should be in the General forum, not Mountain Biking. But hey, both the AC guy and the guy posting about him are EB finishers!
  19. Since this post was originally about HVAC, and not someone’s MacBook, there is a local mountain biker who runs an AC business and I consider him to be excellent. Hit me up for deets.
  20. It’s the RR Convention and Visitors Bureau - prolly some overly enthusiastic intern.
  21. Man, there was also a great mother-daughter German joint in Pf called the Nuernberg Brauhaus - it was a sad day when they shut down.
  22. Empanadas are a derivative of Cornish pasties, from when the English miners came to Mexico.
  23. I picked up some slip-on pro riders in the sale, for riding my bmx bike around the yard. Sexy ... and sticky!
