RidingAgain

Read about someone who lost his bike today. Went into a restaurant after riding, had bike inside his locked car. The thief broke a window and stole the bike. Kind of sounds like he was followed from the trail.

Be careful... Lock up your bike well... Park where you can keep an eye on it if possible.

From what I've been told by doctors I know, the system has learned how to better deal with the critically sick patients, and are somewhat better at addressing early onset problems with high risk patients. This has led to a decrease in deaths.

That good news aside...

I just heard yesterday of another friend here in Austin... A late 20s, early 30s, man that's pretty fit (runs half marathons, competes in fitness competitions)... That got infected and has been having a hard time over the last couple of weeks. Not critical, but painful.

Sure looks like when infections increase... Deaths increase as well.

Stubborn death.

Just found out about a husband and wife we know who got the virus... They live in Miami Beach, FL, and were out of commission for about six weeks but recovered. Although somewhat back in society, they are still unsure of how to conduct themselves... And unsure of what the longterm effect will be.

What size frame do you need?

This thread should be titled "...Walnut Creek Debbie Downer date...".

I don't want to change your mind, but I also don't give a fuck what you think of my opinion or actions. Stay 6 feet away from me, and have a nice day!

If that were true you wouldn't be posting what you just did. So, as you've proven many times before, you're just a dishonest little twerp.

... and you appear to be the perfect example. Congrats, I now have two fools on my ignore list.

LOL...

I guess little men have to find ways to make themselves feel big.

I'm servicing a friend's daughter's bike and need a 20" tire for it. Doesn't need to be new... Just without the bald spot that seems to be the norm for kid's bikes.

Thanks for the help.

Just wondered if this shop is still operating? Doesn't seem to be open very often if it is.

That’s all you got from that?

AustinBike is a kind of I know stuff and you need to see it my way guy. It is what it is. Scripture tells us we know in part, and speak accordingly. There's hay, and then there's sticks... And we all eat a bit of both. I just give thanks that I believe there's a God... And that beyond that, it's a hit or miss kind of crap shoot trying to nail it all down.

Hi, I might be interested if the hub width can be converted to 135mm. I checked online and am getting different views, but two people said they've done it. Can you tell me if the end caps can be removed (popped out), this may give an indication that I can replace with a set of 135mm end caps. Thanks.

What's ironic is that @TheX actually started this thread himself, with good intentions. I've not seen any meaningful posts from him since he's returned from an apparent hiatus; so the only conclusion I can draw is that he was kidnapped and implanted with spambot firmware to disseminate misinformation. Has anybody checked Mojo lately? Wondering if he's spewing BS over there as well, albeit to an audience of one.  

I wasn't calling "...wolf...".

I found it humorous that school districts are having Zoom conference calls because they say it is too dangerous to have on-site meetings - to discuss sending kids back to school.

Last night I had a young woman walk up to my open garage (I live in an apartment complex) and ask, "What are youuuu dooiinnnggg?"

Really strange... Kind of creepy too... Seeing that it should have been obvious that I was working on a bicycle.

I responded with... "Why do you want to know?"

To which she thought for a moment and then said to herself... "Why do I want to know?"... "What are you doing... Why do I want to know?"

And then she just walked off.

Seriously... WTF is going on?

"...hike..."... Yeh, sure (wink, wink).

Like it or not, masks are now mandatory. Figured if I'm gonna have to wear one, at least it should offer me some protection as well as others. Have a handful of these N95s that I've been using. After a while, it gets a little funky and then there's also the issue of contamination. Found some hacks online and we shall see. So far the mask does smell better, and that's already a win as far as im concerned🤣

Hey... Just saw these guys and wondered, since you have some experience with different types of masks, what you think of them...

you can still pass along your genes, theoretically. that's how babies work and stuff.

Not the same as making me, as I'd need a female's input. But yeh, I think I'm up on how babies work and stuff.

Wow... What did Barney do to you?

Again with the name calling..... ouch bro. You got me. Pretty clever. Maybe someday I’ll be like you. 
 

I was really trying to keep quiet today. 

Sorry... It was a jackass comment and I called it as I saw it.

As for being like me someday... You'd need to have my genes... And that's just not possible anymore. 

I had blood work done for Coronary Calcium Score. The result came back showing that I was under 1 (0.8)... 100 being bad. Given my age this surprised my doctors. I asked if I should do any other tests and was told given my low score it's not necessary.

You really should watch it. It's only 0:30. It's not about masks. (Although if the gnomes had been collecting underpants to make masks and sell them for profit, it all makes sense now.) Just reminded me of the "plan" to control people by asking them to wear mask.  Here's a 10s clip of just the "plan". 

 

It's good to ask questions. I'm asking all the fear monger YouTubers to explain Step 2 of the government mask control plot. 

On the other hand, I completely understand the mask wearing plan. Step 1: people wear masks in public places. Step 2: less of their spit and snot gets in the air and on surfaces in public places. Step 3: less people get sick and die.

It's all about finding a way to allow Stan to call Cartman a fat ass.

I've been stuck down the Jocko rabbit hole lately and this one always stood out to me. Never forget, we are all people.

 

Should someone ever need a kidney... Watch how fast their prejudice gets set aside.

Well... If they're not just totally stupid. And unfortunately there are a few of those around.

No. I understand completely. I refuse to wear a mask. You assume I’m out to kill your whole family. It’s over dramatic. You fly off the handle and call people names because we don’t bury our heads in the sand like you do. Good luck with that bud. Get back in line. Do as you’re told. 

LOL...

What a hypocrite jackass comment.
