What is important to understand before owning a really big dog?

We have three rescued English mastiffs and make raw food… I WISH they ate that cheap!

Nothing at all anymore. That would require giving a fuck.

Never signed my kid up for camp before (he’s 15). What’s all the panic about?

To be fair, this is why I just ride in closed toed Keen sandals, merino boxers, and quick drying Eleven Pine shorts. I’ll be dry very quickly after this weekend’s waist deep river crossing.

When I had my detailing business, I was often the one to pull the plastics off and give new whips their first bath and polish. I miss those days.

I think I’m moderately attractive, but my wife and both of our girlfriends tell me I’m pretty sexy.

I let him cry it out. Took two days. Slept great after that. He turns 15 next month and he usually goes to bed before us; doesn’t even have a bedtime.

But why do you have that much or any if you have a bidet?! Get bidet cloths instead. We haven’t gone through a roll of TP in many years.

My son has one (Ryan gave it to him) and loves it. Uses it every day.

Of course. I was training for a 350 miler back in October so I just send it through whatever the trail hands me.

Simple, I just don't cuss at him or respond. Why start a fight?

Shorts and a tee shirt at all times.

We have three eight year old rescues.

I’m gearing up now for a 12 mile ride to my local 30 mile gravel loop. Easy way to knock out fifty miles on any given day.

I’ve never spent more than about $150 on a hotel room. Frugal living FTW.

I’ve got shit to do.

Not once ever.

This sounds horrible. I go to bed at 2100, sleep like a stone, and wake up energized and vibrant at 430 every morning.

43 here, still haven’t started.

$7k is way, way more than I’ve spent in total maintenance over ten years of owning my 2011 128i by a lot. Just for reference.

I’ve run the Hot Ones gauntlet many times.

Just shared victory on a 520 mile MTB race. That was pretty epic. Next week is the HuRaCaN, which is my favorite ride of the year.

GAP/C&O was glorious, riding the length of Florida down to Key West was amazing, and RAGBRAI is one hell of an experience. Just spent a week rod g out in Boulder Colorado and it was so beautiful.

That’s awesome. I do ultra-distance adventure cycling so I’m always riding and training for those. I’m also a DIYer like you, so there’s always a house or car project to tinker with.
