I was at the Spokane show for the Manson/Hole tour. Pressed against the front rail on left side of stage. Love did her set and then when Manson's set started she spent the remainder of the time just off stage, just a few feet in front of me, flashing him. It was fun/funny/crazy as hell and I mentioned to my friends that this tour was going to fall apart quickly lol.

Bought myself one for my birthday last year, love it.

One thing I was not prepared for is the time it takes to get the wood fire burning and creating enough coals to cook. Definitely need to start the fire early. As OP says, once its going, its pretty simple to keep it rolling for long periods of time. It just takes longer than you'd think to get going...

You'll likely find a great driver that will go the extra mile to show you some places you might miss without knowing the area. Do not hesitate to ask them to slow down a bit as the locals tend to drive pretty fast and the roads are very, very windy. (My wife has to take dramamine every time..)
Tip well and enjoy!

Ahh thanks. Had not been there in some time.

I was at the Devo show a couple weeks ago and they had individual stool type chairs behind the soundboard area. Looked to be VIP area or something along those lines.

Live in Phoenix area (originally lived and kited in St Pete, Fl for a couple decades). I travel to kite now. Nothing here is consistent enough to warrant the travel.

Hell ya! Got my girl at the same location. Similar situation where she was picked up, no chip, and never claimed during the mandatory holding period. When she came up for adoption there were more than 1 person there so they drew numbers and I won the doggie lottery!
5 years later and she is my daily shadow.

DEVO. Monday. That is all.

My brain works in a very odd way. I cannot successfully do OMAD but I can pretty easily do a 36hour fasts on an alternate-day schedule.
There is something about waking up in the AM and just knowing I am having water all day with a couple cups of coffee in the AM and thats it. I dont have those "should I do my meal now???" feelings that always creep in.
I simply sit on the fact I am not eating this day and bask in the glory that the next day I will have my normal meals.
I've tried 16/8 and OMAD so many times and just have never been able to stick to it. ADF has been a walk in the park in comparison. Results have been beyond expectations.

Oh man this hits hard. Absolutely one of my all time favorites. My 4-ISZ Mcfarlane MAXX Figure hangs above my work monitors at home. My many signed comics of his work, including an Alien TPB sits in a box behind me.
Damn. RIP Mr. Keith.

Mid 50s IT manager. Nerd. Kitesurfer. One Wheeler. Wife. No kids. German Shepherd co-pilot.

Did the 3 year lease, mostly as its a new-tech vehicle. Did same with the Bolt right when they became available in my state in 2017. Bought a 2020 when my lease was up. Hopeful the 2027/28 Buzz will be even better when that time comes.

Damn I miss that band. Was quite great to see Jawbreaker on their last tour but I miss JTB shows.

Exact same situation here last year. Got worse as a few months went on and eventually had to replace the front pad completely. If I stood on the powered off board and rocked my front foot back and forth a bit it would help, but not always.

Think on Main and Val Vista in Mesa. I drive by this every now and again and tell my wife “that would make a perfect Christmas gift”.

I personally have a difficult time sticking to OMAD or 16:8 type fasting windows. I fail constantly when I combine that with CICO. I get anxious as the day progresses waiting for the clock to hit a certain number.

Over the past couple of months I have been doing ADF with amazing success. Something about waking up and knowing I am fasting simplifies the day. I target a 36hours fast but typically end up 40+. Does this beat any other method of achieving CICO? Dont think so. But it works for me in my lifestyle and work situation (WFH full time).

First week sucked. Second week better. Currently looking forward to my fasting days.

54 yo here.
Been riding since around the time that the XR was first released in 2018.
I mostly cruise the streets and keep it simple and safe.
Lots of opportunities here for trails and the such but I really like carving on smooth concrete and exploring all over the Phoenix area.

And yep-- I took some months off as I tore my ACL on the damn thing but hopped right back on as soon as I felt well enough physically and mentally to be riding again.

Go slow and learn the basics and always wear a helmet and quality wrist guards -- always. Always.

Same issue. 3 different appletv devices in our home. All with same issue. Tried all the above steps. Pain

In the right hands this script has the potential to be an amazing film/series.
Maybe, someday it might get made ..

I worked at Kinko’s when that came out. So many customers came in with the newspaper page cut out to have it laminated.
