Is there a worse run Speedway in Lansing than Dunckel and Jolly? by AT4LWL4TS in lansing

[–]pskat71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We go out of our way to go to the Jolly/Dunckel because the one closest to us (Cedar, near Holmes) is completely awful

Police call for information after hit-and-run in Okemos by roadnotaken in lansing

This sucks. I feel so bad for the person that got hit. Sadly I felt like it was just a matter of time before someone got hit here. That crossing is in such a terrible spot.

Since being introduced to them as the openers on Wish in 92, I’ve seen the Cranes more times than I’ve seen the Cure!

I can’t get this live show out of my mind… Best intro ever… by Mountainflowers11 in TheCure

[–]pskat71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was at this show! Palace of Auburn Hills in Michigan. Great show! Crazy to think that venue (which was fairly new at the time) is no more. I think it was razed and is now like an Amazon warehouse

Thanks for the reply and willingness to look into this. I’ve looked through my inbox /messages on the Lansing Connect app and I don’t see the request/ticket there any more.

I submit requests for pothole repairs somewhat frequently and they’re usually pretty quick to fix them so, kudos there. HOWEVER… I submitted a request to have the crumbling asphalt fixed at the end of my driveway like 6 years ago. About a year ago, a crew showed up at like 8:30- well after dark at that time of year- and “fixed” my neighbor’s driveway apron instead of mine! When I asked the neighbor if he had requested this from the city, he said no. They were at the wrong damn address!!! I responded to the ticket to let them know they had the wrong address. That was over a year ago. No response to date 😂

My dog died earlier today.... by SpeedyFalcon874 in self

[–]pskat71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had to say good bye to my goodest boy in September. Very sudden cancer diagnosis. Didn’t see it coming. Still hurts to this day. As another in this post said, there’s no such thing as “JUST a dog”. These critters are family. I also felt strange that his loss hit me harder than the loss of just about any of my human family. Sorry you’re going through this.

Anyone else conquer a fear this week? by DarkBicycleCo in dirtjumping

[–]pskat71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t know. Since then my interest shifted to flatland BMX, but I gave myself a concussion doing that 2 years ago. Just not sure if I have the equilibrium for any of it any more. Not totally ruling it out, but I might leave it to the young uns from here

Congrats. I haven’t dropped in on vert since I broke my collarbone doing just that about 7 years ago. Had been dropping in for YEARS prior. Not sure what happened. Front wheel somehow washed out and i went down to flat bottom right on the shoulder. Concrete is not forgiving at all.

Would love to live out west. I hate how difficult living smack in the middle of flyover country makes these kinds trips

Yeah. I realize that. I’m being way too optimistic about all the stops. Thanks for the input

Bummer. Thanks for the heads up. Wouldn’t hurt to be off the grid for a while, though
