  1. I too am 55, and although I have not had any testosterone levels checked, I can definitely feel I have lost a step in the last couple of years, which I attribute to injury and not being able to do any resistance work at all and being hit an miss on walking or cycling. I was on a pretty good cycling routine where I would hit the hills close to my neighborhood about 5 days per week and it took me about and Hour +/-. I also have a 25 mile route that is not so hilly and it takes about 2 hours. I got Covid in the middle of all this and then had a vacation to Norway get in the way and when I got back at it I started having some old groin issues flare up, so I have had to temper my work, which is why you regime intrigues me. But enough about me... So if I understand correctly, your improvement is coming from just 30 minutes a day of Cycling and ditching some sugary drinks? No push ups etc or anything else?
  2. When Armybrat took his grandson to that game, the loss just ruined the whole experience.
  3. Like that guy wouldn't come and find him and kill him before the cops got a warrant, or disappear altogether only to start killing again. Plus Mom is up there listening to everything. Truly a difficult position to be in. I own my own business (construction) and this is why I never do business with serial killers. They are worse than TxDot. Really like the series. Both leads are killing it. The set up is almost like a play. The whole thing could be shot in just the one room....or can it?
  4. I don't really care about Bedlam, but I'm here to say Gundy is a National Treasure. I heard ScipioTex on a radio interview a couple of years ago describe him as an Amarillo gigolo from 1984. Perfect. he's a combination of Terry Donahue, Bobby Bowden and Mike Leach all rolled into one.
  5. ..or the reverse. When in doubt, do what Captain Aubrey does...
  6. Should be game 5. Are they not doing the spring game thing anymore?
  7. If I ever get pulled over with a controlled substance, this is what I am going with. Note: Youngest child is now 14 which is almost as old as this story.
  8. Is that even a thing with anyone? I guess to do it right, one would need to turn their elbow up in an awkward position in order to have the fingers pointed outwards with the index finger down. Of course, that is not how a proper horns down works , so perhaps just turn The wrist down. But then that just looks like you are pointing at the ground or your dick. I guess that's why nobody does it. Come to think of it, guns up is pretty stupid too. Carry on.
  9. Your probably right...just thinking outside of the fat box.
  10. Bevo is about the size of a Vic special. I'm just saying is all.
  11. The Jiggy family truckster at Red River Gorge, Kentucky waiting for the snow to melt so we can do some climbing. Built for beach camping and fishing. Big enough to do almost anything. Too small to help friends move.
  12. Anybody else have people in their orbit getting bad flu symptoms and negative covid test? IOWS, is flu going around. Austin areA.
  13. Well crowd for one thing, but I think the off sides/nuetral zone stuff was something that they tried to get away with and it didn't work, so they stopped eventually. Probably has nothing to do with us at all, just trying to get an edge an push the boundaries with the intent of gaining a split second or forcing a false start.
  14. I think the only self inflicted flags were the after the play late hit on Sanders and the unnecessary blind side block. Everything else was deliberate and with a purpose, even the offsides/nuetral zone shit. Assume you meant for Bama.
  15. User name checks out.
  16. and another thing...some nerd needs to come up with a Tolkien calendar that starts at zero ans just keeps going..ain't nobody got time for all these different ages. i have a hard enough time keeping up with new places and all the elf names...my God the elf names. Elvish ,it's like jive without the malt liquor.
  17. I don't really have any beef with the show at all. I stated what I did out of a sense of frustration on part in getting my head around reconciling the appendix timeline and the TV timeline. I'm sure after some more study and some more plot development, things will clear up just fine. I took a little deeper dive into the Nerd of the Rings Youtube channel and that has been really helpful. I think what a lot of us that do not have an encyclopedic knowledge of the Silmarilion or the Appendices have been struggling with is all the new names and locations for the same shit that was in LOTR. We are kind of moving in slow motion with recognition..kind of like converting metric to English on the fly or being not quite fluent in a foreign language.
  18. I posted on this yesterday, but consider if the Bama player had not done the face mask at all. It looked like to me that, absent the face mask, that run would have gone for 2 or 3 more yds than it did and possibly a first down. No guarantee, but at least we could live with the results.
  19. Road bike surlies, I am currently sporting an old Fuji SLM 1.1 carbon frame hard tail 29er that I want to modify slightly to pick up a few gravel bike attributes. It is a straight up trail bile with a wide race face handlebar, front Manitou shock and wide off road tires, finger brakes (Shimano XT) and trigger snifter (also XT). 1 X 10 set up. Over the summer I have found myself gravitating to road hill workouts in my neighborhood (12-13 miles)and a few paved trails (20-23 miles). However, I need to traverse some off road terrain to to these spots and I am hitting 40mph+ on some of the road downhills and need to keep the wider bar for physical and mental health. I must also say that I am really enjoying the ride experience a lot more than walking or running. I know some riders experience some knee issues, but it has been the opposite for me. The ridding motion has resulted in an almost near miraculous improvement in the stability and feel in my knees from having two torn medial menisci from age and years of running and landing on bouldering crash pads. In fact the shift from walking/running and bouldering to ridding and sport climbing(ropes) is kind of an overall aging change to less extreme activity in general that I am really enjoying. So I really need this bike thing to work. I am happy with the bike overall but want to go with a more road friendly tire and some kind of new handlebar or new handlebar set up. I am not interested in going to a strict drop bar and I want to keep the shock as well. I am also interested in getting some locking foot pedals and shoes as I am just wearing my regular Nike's on rides. The tires and foot pedals/shoes are easy enough, although I wouldn't mind some recommendations in that area. My real questions are with the bars. I want to keep my current shifter and brakes, so my options look like either swapping out the bar for one that has some aerodynamic handholds (Koga Denham, Velo Orange Crazy Bar, Surly Moloko type) or scabbing on some inner bar ends. New bars seems to be in short supply so I have been kind of moving toward the inner bar ends in my mind although from what I have seen those look kind of short for my tastes. This is kind of just an experiment that I want to try before I finally settle in on a serious bike purchase latter on. Thanks. Edit: i will probably post this up in the mountain bike thread as well, but I think this is the real place for this type of question.
  20. Yeah, I don't think that's what they were doing. You are giving them too much credit like they were working off of a flow chart or decision tree.
  21. This show is intentionally leaving a lot of things in the dark as it's timeline seems to be all over the place or at least ambiguous. A quick read of the Appendices in ROTK wrt the chronology of the second age clearly shows this. I took a dive into the appendix just to clarify a few things and now I m more confused than ever.
  22. Future of chess:
