  1. I only do Urban Assault on an E-bike. Never ridden on any MTB trails. You are supposed to get a permit from USACE to ride on Northshore. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NzRbfEdBmeWu5xz27gPLvjtOYZo3tnCd2r57tWTasHc/htmlview
  2. 9 wounded in Denver mass shooting after Nuggets win and suspect taken into custody, police say https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nba/9-wounded-in-denver-mass-shooting-after-nuggets-win-and-suspect-taken-into-custody-police-say/ar-AA1ctxmU
  3. Actually it was his sister in law Linda who told David (TKs brother) that some of his letters had similarities to his manifesto. David loved the Big Bend area and had/has? a place near Terlingua. He lived there for a while off the grid before moving to NYC. They eventually built a cabin and would vacation there frequently. I met David one night at La Kiva.
  4. Finished it. Enjoyed it. Pumped for this year’s race now.
  5. Yeah. Interesting band. They usually dropped some weird little gem on their albums. Got turned on to them from a cool 1981 Ze Records disco/punk/funk compilation “Seize the Beat”
  6. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aryan_Freedom_Network Pretty easy to find out who they are.
  7. They were already found to be in violation of antitrust laws in the 90s but no action was taken.
  8. He will have plenty of time to campaign once he’s elected.

  10. I posted this Texas artist Adele Brunet still life earlier in this thread. My wife wants to send it to auction at David Dyke Fine Art in Dallas. They specialize in Texas and have sold several of her pieces. If anyone here is interested in it let me know. Truly beautiful piece but we have no place for it. Dyke estimates 1K to 2K range. Not trying to”eBay” it but would just as soon let someone from here have it.
  11. “Lunatic Thugs” is my second favorite Red Rider song.

    Vinyl

    I found one of the first editions at an estate sale for $70.00.
  13. “The co-worker told police that Olalde said “he had killed his family because they were cannibals, and they were going to eat him,” the affidavit states.” Guess this counts because it reached the magic number of four. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/east-texas-teenager-charged-with-murder-in-killings-of-parents-and-siblings/ar-AA1bG418
  14. Well, the people we elected voted for impeachment so it’s a push.
  15. Looks like ever Collin County Rep voted aye. Denton County one was P and the rest aye. Even Jarrod Patterson voted aye.
  16. Apparently she spent ample time this week surfing Porn sites. She’s just like me!
  17. Have only spent a little time on a mid drive on off road paved trails. Was nice and the torque sensor was pretty smooth vs a cadence sensor like on most hub drives. It was underpowered though. 250 watt. Have done a few hundred miles on a hub drive in urban environment. Love the throttle in this environment. Use it to zip through intersections or navigating tricky sections. Correct there are +/- to each drive. Mid drive puts a lot of strain on the drivetrain, chain and cogs, and if you break a chain it’s pedal only. Sucks on a heavy e-bike. Hub drives are heavy and you need to keep your spokes tensioned correctly but mid electronics are usually more sophisticated.
  18. Yeah. Also fun seeing all the CenTex locations. Wylie is “too modern.” https://www.atlasofwonders.com/2023/04/where-was-love-and-death-filmed.html

    RIP Andy Rourke

    Yeah. A favorite band at one of my favorite venues on my birthday. I was mesmerized by Johnny Marr while everyone else was watching Morrissey.
  20. This kinda surprised me. No safety or emissions inspections-12 States Annual safety and emissions inspections-9 States including Texas(some are for more populated communities only) I know when I first moved to Collin County there were no emissions inspections. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_inspection_in_the_United_States
