  1. I ended up with most of my grandfather's stuff, I think. he was a 90-day Wonder, and a planner for D-Day. have his dress uniform, a box of patches, ribbons and buttons in a box with other trinkets, notably containing a German Eastern Front campaign medal I assume he traded for over there, a little German Walther pistol that looks to have barely enough power to do the job if you stuck it in your mouth (but at least it was semi-auto), and his mess kit, just like the one Brat posted above. the only thing I have on display is a portrait of him in uniform, draped with his dogtags. but I look the other stuff over, now and then, and make sure the pistol is oiled.
  2. just so I understand: you purposefully sit next to the above 'furniture accessory' and repeatedly place a moistened phallic object in your mouth while creating suction with your diaphragm. is that right? ok.
  3. with bacon in the beans, I believe all the food groups are represented. heb hot queso is its own.
  4. ah. that explains the origins of the Johnsonville brand.
  5. fried lips and assholes: serious bidness
  6. you guys are fucking with my ability to pretend Van Hagar never existed. cool pics, op.
  7. lalalalalalalalala
  8. gambled and lost in my chamois right before a mtb ride, yesterday. I over-hydrate before summer rides. I was a little early and my buddies were running late, so I found a dead-end road nearby to take a leak. I already took a dump, before I left the house, so I felt safe. finished my biz, took two steps toward the truck and it happened. fortunately, I still had a roll stashed in a ziplok under the seat from way back when I did a lot of solo camping on the beach, so I dropped trou in front of the truck to more-or-less shield myself from civilization and cleaned up with the Dead Sea Scrolls. major monkey butt when I got home. was seriously wishing we still had some desitin in the house. good ride, though.
  9. 4/3? so...still in the bag? couple improvements on the smoker: removable SST shelf off Amazon, and a couple boat jacks under the fire box to get the tires off the ground. Surly smoke critics have been quiet lately, so, I provide some fodder (that's a pork but on the right, to cover the non-rib eaters). dunno if these look good or bad, but they tasted great. the other rack was less fatty but equally flavorful. my dad went through 2 ribs without wiping his face once. looked like...well, I just prefer not to think about that.
  10. the fuck[ed] Catalina Wine Mixer...
  11. that's crazy. it's also why I'm a packrat. I think still have 2 brand-new X-9 rear ders stashed. I saw them go on closeout, so between me and a buddy, we bought out the rest of Jenson's stock. I think we each got 4 or 5. great ders. years before that, I was having issues with a 9spd der and got a couple of busted X-0 ders from Hammerhead (carbon fiber cages---never a good idea) to harvest the springs out of. I ended up finding a different root cause to the problem, but held onto those old der bits, as well as a few of my own that got bent beyond use, since then. only recently, did I clean out a few boxes of worn out parts, only to regret it later when I came up with an idea for a cool project. I bought shifter cables in a box of 10, and a whole spool of housing, a while back. little shit like that I never want to be the reason I couldn't ride on a given day. broke a cable at the trailhead, a month ago and decided then to start carrying a spare in my pack, and another in my glove box. got poured on near the end of a ride on Wednesday, so Thursday seemed like a good day to finally break down and service my bb and rear hub over my morning coffee. and now it's gonna rain all weekend...
  12. battery in my wife's car died at her office. between her, one of her millennial coworkers, and Google, they still couldn't figure out how to jump it. I had to drive down 360 from Spicewood Springs Rd to BeeCaves Rd and back at 5pm to jump it for her to get home so Icould pull it and take it to Autozone after dinner to get it tested/replaced (didn't want to have to jump it again). a few years before that, her battery died on us up in Dallas, while visiting her mother. Autozone was a block away, so I just let them do it, not having any tools with me, etc. felt like a millennial, standing there with my thumb up my ass (metaphorically speaking) while the kid replaced the battery in the parking lot.
  13. @Pescado_Rojo, carbon or aluminum frame? threaded or pressfit BB? either way, it's not bad, just that threaded is A LOT easier. one wrench, and maybe an old butter knife to pop off the dust covers, depending on the brand. if you've got Shimano pressfit, just plan on ordering a whole new BB, because you're going to destroy it getting it out of there. plastic crap. for a replacement, I highly recommend Wheels Mfg. parts. I'm fixin to replace my pf BB92, and will order the Wheels type that is actually a hybrid. instead of the bearing cups threading into the frame, the two halves of the BB thread together in middle of the BB housing. this means you can use the standard threaded BB wrench to pull them for service. when I first replaced my Shitmano BB92 with Wheels, they hadn't come out with it, yet. however, the Wheels BB92 I have has an aluminum body and the bearings are easy to clean and regrease. I also got their press kit which is useful for my headset, as well. hit me with a pm if you want to talk about it, some more. no good reason to wait in line for shop service on a BB.
  14. yeah. irresponsible speculation on my part. I apologize. but the meltdown from The Artist Formerly Known as Derka on Surly Day 1 was freakin epic.
  15. anyhoo, what I don't get is people with live cameras mounted all over their house. I'm thinking of the wives thread post where she falls over a chair (let's pretend it wasn't staged). I can see having a Ring rig, but inside? do people really do that? that would drive me insane. similarly, I refuse to ever have a Dot, or Alexa or any other listening device. creeps me tfo.
  16. yeah, I think 2.0 is spystud13. I hadn't even seen the non-2.0 s_o (I have almost zero interest in basketball and very little time to follow EPL), so I'll take your word for it that it's Goo. did we ever get an answer on who scooped Derka from Derka when Surly started up (which I think was hilarious, btw)? because with this new shit come to light, I'm thinking it was spystud13.
