    Recap of the weekend-

    Saturday- Kids birthday party at our house

    Sunday- Basketball tournament in the morning, soccer game late afternoon

    Sunday night- Wife goes on a 10 minute rant to me (not at me) about how she doesn't have enough time in the day to get everything done with home and work, blah, blah, blah. Then is fine.

    It's like she just needed to be pissed about something, get it off her chest and then she feels better. Women are weird. 

     

    This was my weekend if you substitute the Sunday Sports for another birthday event (adult).

    So is New Orleans, but people still go there. Venice is fantastic. There’s nothing quite like leaving a restaurant at night buzzed and trying to find your way back to the hotel through all the narrow streets.

    Don't get me wrong, Venice is worth seeing. It's one of the few truly unique places on earth. But it's a shell of it's former self, and almost a theme park at this point. And it also happens to be sinking rapidly.

     

    As I said, I support everyone seeing it, but I would not make a week of it. There's myriad medieval European cities you can wonder tiny alleys home in.

    As an aside, New Orleans is a shithole.

    Ah, ok, now it makes sense.  I know nothing about the YC2.

    I have this one and was wondering if I was some kind of doucher for it.

    I've got the classic Yachtie too, but in rhodium face.

     

     

    The two watches are so far apart they might as well be from completely different manufacturers

    What's the word on tires?  How long do they last and what is Surly's recommendation?  I currently have Giant P-SL1's but they are wearing thin so will need replaced soon.  

    How long they last is a seriously variable question. 

     

    You cant go wrong with Continental GP4K or the new 5K. Pretty much the benchmark. I have really been digging Vittoria Corsas lately. Slightly less puncture protection than the Contis but very comfortable and easy rolling. 

     

    What sort of use are you looking at? Racing, general riding, mixed surface?

    Schadenfreude.  

    You gents are correct.  I'm gonna pour some Balvenie double wood and re-read said texts, while watching some foxnews. 

    Thanks you orange son of a bitch, I am, in fact, entertained. 

    I'm drinking Balvenie as we speak.

    Planning a trip with the wife in July, mainly to Croatia (would like recs there too) but there is an opportunity to jump over to Venice the last couple of nights of our trip. 

    What’s the consensus on Venice? It looks touristy as can be but is it worth seeing? Is it fun, are there good bars/restaurants? 

    Its sinking and overrun. I loved what it used to be, but it's a different place now. Croatia is far more appealing, especially Dubrovnik and Plitvice Lakes.

     

    A day in Venice is worth it just to experience it, but not much else.

    Lots of amazing agriturismos in Italy that are not in jam packed areas.  These are two views from one outside of Gubbio in Umbria...  this was also in July and the town itself was not packed to the gills... a few tourists but mostly calm and peaceful.

    I'm a northerner all the way, but if I'm heading below Milan, Umbria is my joint. Stayed in a villa outside this tiny little town called Ficule back in 06 that was phenomenal. Came with a cook, and she would start on dinner about 10am. Like literally ground the coffee beans for the tiramisu.

    Yeah you old lying senile bastard,  wait until people miss 2 or 3 house payments in a row, then we'll see how much their bank or landlord will bend over and "work along".

    Work along, what the fuck does that even mean.  BITCH BETTER HAVE MY MONEY!

    Not half, not some, but all my cash

    I can't put my finger on it - and they're absolutely headed the right direction - but there's still something too embellished about the grill and some of the finish (wheels, chrome accents, etc.).  It takes away from what are some of the best looking lines/shape in the category.  They are just ever-so-slighty gaudy and logo-y - it's as if the American OEMs are convinced their badges are really attractive to people so they can't help themselves.   If they'd just tone it down....

    (The interiors are really nice, though).

    Yeah, I agree
