I'm in the same boat. Just moved into a place and the garage has a lot of work to be set up. I had been at my last place for six years, so everything was well established. Different space, different configuration, different mindset... I had to get axles on my project to get it rolling before the move, so the moment that was done, it was a rush to throw everything into boxes and get it all to the new place. It has not helped me on this end, but it is all here and I've been slowly going through everything to get it where it needs to be for whatever project or job I've got to do.

Took me a minute, but I'm guessing the mom is warning their child that any potential date or relationship with someone who believes woowoo about the significance of time of birth won't be good for them.

I lived in the middle of three stacked apartments in my early twenties, but had a stairway down to the outside which opened to my own patio. There was a groundhog we called 'Pete' or 'Petey' that lived under the patio, and it was always nice to see a bit of wildlife so close to the city. Even the landlord didn't seem to mind his presence. On several occasions, we would find Pete sunbathing on the very top roof, above the third story, with no discernable pathway for him to have climbed up there. This went on for years and no one witnessed his ascent. Only that he would be up there and find himself back down at some point. Pete was a good neighbor, I miss him.

I'm not a geologist so I can't give an answer I'd like, but I do enjoy reading about such things. Your question prompted me to search on my own about it. You should read about the formation of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin and of course, the formation of the rockies and geologic timelines and forces involved. Wish I could actually provide a short and concise answer, but I just like to think about it and am by no means a scholar. Good luck!

That is one concerned ape.

Don't you dare edit your comment ❤️

Head, shoulders, "Nissan toes" (knees and toes).

You can take the ratcheting mechanisms out of any wrench I've owned, for maintenance (cleaning or greasing) or replacement. I use Wright Tool from 1/4" drive up to 3/4" drive, and I can still source replacement ratchet mechanisms for replacement if I ever managed to break them. I have not however because they're stout as fuck.

Yeah, something that is often missed in all this "literally all Americans are fucking worthless pieces of shit" rhetoric is that most people just aren't capable enough to raise a fucking army, coordinate coups, or plan assassinations. But I know a great many Americans who understand what they can do, and that is protecting their neighbors, feeding their communities, and fighting for their families. Many people are sacrificing a great deal to ensure the safety of those who are otherwise targeted. The one's that aren't were never going to do anything to begin with, but to say nothing is being done is an insult to those who are working tirelessly to help people survive this shit every day.

I've seen your posts! I particularly enjoyed your use of 'halfrica twin'. Considering this is only the second bike I've ever owned (I've ridden plenty others though) and it is MUCH more accommodating than my SR400, I really enjoy it.

I ride as my primary transportation. To work, grocery, etc. With that in mind, the NX500 has been much better for me, especially in winter subfreezing riding. I have a lot going on in life, but when things calm down, I should have more flexibility to do the necessary upgrades that will make it even better for me.

Glad we have a few of us out there! I've seen a couple others in my area. Seems like people like the successor to the CB500X (when so much of it is near the same, haha)

I do as much of everything I can on my own to save money, but I understand. When I was younger it was more out of necessity. I used to take the tires off the wheels with spoons. Now I just take the wheels to a guy with machines. Figure that's my compromise at this stage in my life, between paying someone and saving money.

Thank you! I am hoping to replace my seat for a little more comfort soon, even if it isn't wore out. If you're not having fun, you're doing it wrong!
