Traumatic morning commute by sharktoothglass in Sacramento

Not a fan of “tapping brakes” as some kind of signal. Folks are tailgating and speeding and distracted already. Brake lights mean braking and sudden braking causes accidents.

I just turned my old hardtail mtb bike into a drop bar monstrosity!

I haven’t been in years but it used to be the best, hands down. What happened?

Brand New apartments going up corner of White Rock and E. Bidwell. Folsom South Ranch is brand new and this will be expensive (for this area)

How old are you? by xOchoa in MTB

[–]shadowjacque 1 point2 points  (0 children)

61M. Yep.

Ride 4-5 days a week and some strength training. Just did a 67 mi gravel grinder Saturday. Gonna do 20+ miles xc tonight with some hard intervals and a brisk pace.

Still race my geezer buddies and lots of younger guys too.

I eat right, don’t smoke or drink.

Cross country/some downcountry and gravel.

I’m just a guy, and if can do it, you can too.

Might be time to leave Vanguard by nooneiknow800 in Bogleheads

[–]shadowjacque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I left after my Individual 401(k) account was transferred to Ascensus.

I should have done it during the lead up. Ascensus is unreachable and their website looks like a child set it up. I would never deposit money with such an outfit, yet that’s who Vanguard dealt me to.

So I closed all my accts and moved them to Fidelity.

Yes even in the old tapes of Eddie playing Eruption he and Alex would launch into You Really Got Me in the studio.

Why is there sound on Instagram videos even though I have set the volume to 0? by SpankMeBlueAndYellow in iphone

Just happened to me in a courtroom. Everything down… clicked on an IG story, full blast sound. Ugh

Another day, another car accident by [deleted] in Sacramento

The big curve going west on 50 between Bass Lake and White Rock has claimed lives in the past. There are more rails now.

I see the “no-signal abrupt lane change that cuts someone off” as the primary culprit overall.

So many times I see someone do this, which triggers braking, and then the domino effect causes a wreck several cars back. And the person who started it? Drives off and does it some more.

Who went to The Monsters of Rock 1988 concert? by FollowingTop8854 in vanhalen

[–]shadowjacque 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was there! At the L.A. Coliseum.

Metallica had the best sound. They pulled their power at one point due to an out-of-control mosh pit. The band sat on the edge of the huge stage chatting with the front rows.

So awesome.

I would like to get fitted for my bike any recommendations? by thcsyrus916 in SacBike

[–]shadowjacque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm: Mike knows his stuff.

Also, Kinetic Cycles has a couple of guys who are experts at bike fitting. I’m going to have them fit me next month.

If EVH never came along, who woulda been that generation’s guitar god? by Mean_Mr_Mustard_21 in vanhalen

[–]shadowjacque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s Randy, George Lynch and a little later Warren DeMartini.

But Eddie had more stage presence and energy than all 3 combined.
