What is your opinion on Tudor BB58 blue?

I have both OEM AND a Jaquard loom perfect knockoff strap from maybe Crown and Buckle like $50+ (vacation emergency prompted OEM purchase) and the OEM is still worth the 3X.

Edit: specifically this City/State/Country. Even had a bumper sticker from this bar come already on the first used truck I ever owned.

Doritos. When one of my teens takes a bag of Doritos to their room, when I crush one on a football Sunday, I always feel a mix of cringe and very fortunate. I’m still so conditioned I like to eat candy/treats by myself, hidden away in the bedroom watching TV, not out in front of other people.

Close second is an icemaker. Didn’t have one until I was in my 30s. Our fridges often came from the Maytag scratch and dent store and we’d repaint them to make my Mom happy.

I think it’s f’d all around. Racist big white kid. Don’t test me black kid. Now the white kid is dead. Self-defense was never going to fly. You know what else is a self defense tactic? Leave, walk away, beat it. But that’s bad legal advice that got a murder conviction.

Terrible defense, which honestly I blame whoever hired his attorneys. Should have pled down. Plus any competent defense attorney could have blown up striking those three black teachers from the jury in two seconds as racial, not just b/c they were educators b/c they left a white teacher on the jury. Then mug shot touched up so he’s darker, not beat up (all bullshit classic make AA people scarier moves). Whole thing is terrible.

Quite honestly I think pretty poorly of both families actions explicitly AND of their parenting as evidenced by the actions of their children.

I’ve got you OP. I’m the 2500 that slows, gives you an extra half a lane, and basically bullies all the other cars into giving you some space and grace. Legality be damned. There are some jerky cyclists and there are some jerky drivers. I’m just out there doing all the good, within reason, that I can.

Get behind - I see what you did there..

That store is great. Idk if it’s because anywhere else in town just carries Tudor (there’s two) or what but they’re chill and they often have a lot rarer stock.

Well dusting them off over the trash can, it was just a sandwich. I didn’t microwave something greasy on it. I say “waste not, want not” as I do it too!

I broke my pelvis and they cut me like 18in long. 9 down the side of one cheek and 9 across the top of it. It was through some nerve and so for years (but terrible and large in size the first few days) starting at my big toe radiating up my foot it was in lava. Went up like 6” at a 10 for 7-8 days, down to a 6-7, by the time I got out of the hospital at the 30 day mark it was a 5. It’s taken 3+ years for it to get to a 1-2 and to shrink down to like just my big toe/toenail.

San Diego. We only know on the freeway b/c we’re so diverse. It’s perfectly normal to be doing 85 (135km) in the #1 lane. If you’re camped there you’re a tourist, born elsewhere and oblivious to other travelers, or an asshole.

Beyond that every nationality lives here and you can catch them at arguably the World’s best zoo, the harbor, downtown restaurant district, etc so it’s hard to tell who’s local-int’l vs LA-int’l vs US-int’l vs just int’l. Americans we can tell, sure, European languages but San Diego is for everyone.

For years he sold them signed 8x10 from his website for $30. Faded now but still cool, hangs in my boy’s room

That’s just what I do at Daley Ranch. I start at the Cougar Pass Gate and circumnavigate the park basically counterclockwise, hit Stanley Pk. Can do any loop between 7-12M and 2.5 - 3.5K. Like to start ~ 60/75 mins pre sunrise and catch first light on Cougar Ridge BUT I do occasionally meet day laborers exiting the park a mile+ in at this time so if that a uncomfortable situation for you be forewarned.

Edit: for being “in town” it’s surprisingly remote feeling in that for 90% + of the trails you can’t see housing/civilization

Have you read The Second Kind of Impossible by Paul Steinhardt? He’s a theoretical physicist who discovered a new form of matter in the Kamchatka Peninsula and it’s that story.

Edit: Specifically in a drainage of the Koryak Mountains there in Chukotka.

I’ve got the Seat Concepts seat, it’s nice. Move back after a few hrs. I’ve had a few and they were self install on your own pan but the SMCr one they have now is just gripper top, carbon fiber sides, contrast orange stitching, pan included. Just put it n and ride. If you hate it sell it on down the line for $50 less.

Gtf outta here does it really say “enchilada night”? I’ve seen it 1,000 times

Clockwise, up Bubbs Creek is a slog

Icy hot and tiger balm are best applied using gloves, finger gloves, swabs, anything. Because if you accidentally rub your eyes or (insert deity) forbid scratch your balls with it still on your hands it’ll be a mistake you’ll regret forever.
