Finally got out for some mountain biking yesterday. We tried a new to us trail a little outside the city and didn't see another person the entire time we were there. Lots of crazy, ass puckering descents and fun features going over the washout areas.

Nice. We were planning to hit some trails, but all the national parks nearby are closed to all visitors.

This trail was small 13km in each direction on private land owned by the power company and maintained by volunteers. Our usual go to trails Kelso and Durham Forest are closed and being monitored. www.trailforks.com is a great tool for finding private land trails that you can still ride.

Fifth in the state? That's awesome! I've only been riding for about five years, I got into it when I started dating my partner. I was riding an older 29er because that's what the bike shop told me I should be riding. Last year I got a new 27.5 bike and it's so much more easier to handle on jumps and makes riding a lot more fun.

I received three large trailer loads of wood . 1 pine saw logs . 1 hardwood oak and pecan mix . 1 oak and pine mix and some wood chips .

I probably have 15 cords of firewood cut and split, with this new delivery I won’t need any more for a couple of years.

It’s been a busy af two weeks for me, planting gardens, cutting grass , selling cars and trucks....... ohh yeah I sold my ‘69 Chevelle and my ‘79 heavy half with a 406 sb .... sad to see them go .

I forgot to mention my daughter is supposed to married in October I have two more trucks to sell and the wedding will be paid for. I think I might just run the groom over with one of the 4wheel drives to make myself feel better.

Was 78f and sunny here is Chiraq, so I took out the Trek and rode around the city. My fav futuristic bike trail was closed, and I was REALLY tempted to just lift my bike over the blockade and chance riding on it solo. But I didn't. I found other great streets to ride on. SO many people were out jogging biking, playing frisbee, etc.. Everyone was keeping their social distance, and the groups playing together were small. 75% of them were wearing masks. Lots of bike cops out just keeping watch and not bothering anyone. It's gonna be back into the 40s starting tomorrow, so everybody's making this gift of a day count.

My 18 yo boy just got back from Humboldt County. He lost his job, then his apartment, and didn't tell me or his mom. He was broke and homeless and sleeping outside for a couple of weeks before he decided to let us know. I'm kind or proud of him for not wanting to ask for help, but the virus was heading his way, and it's no time for roughing it. I flew him back yesterday for pretty cheap, and all his flights were empty af. I hear the airlines are starting to cut many routes, so this was good timing. I put him up in an extended stay place for quarantine for 2 weeks before he will split his time between my place and his mom's. I haven't seen him for 18 months, I told him I'm gonna hug him so long that it's gonna be awkward. A client who lives near his hotel came to pick up some herb, and agreed to take a care package to my boy in the hotel which consisted of a half oz. of OG Kush, a gram oil cart with a battery and charger, some papers, and a little glass bowl with a screen. He called me up almost in tears he was so happy. He should sleep for a couple days straight after his recent adventures and turbulent flights back home. Nice to be able to put him up and keep him safe until the world gets back to normal.


He may be a big boy now (at 16 yo here)-

As messed up as you try to be I was relating to you. Scary. How about some details on this bike omnipotence. How many replacement tubes and tires? What size or brand?Real rims, standard or panzy? How many sprockets, brake pads and cables? What do you use for lube on chain and cables? I can blow most perps off the tail within 5 miles with my 20 yr old custom Giant.

Dude, I thought we agreed that you would take a break from the manic posting. No need to respond twice to my same post, that's excessive. Take a hit and relax...

Here you go. Trapped. Raises my defenses and yours. Trying to actually converse with someone. Drama, chaos and smoke all around. You're a "bikeGuy"? Let's talk bikes. You prefer trash. Stop ragging me and wipe your own crack. Had a 50 mile a day bike habit as I waited 15 months to get a cast off my wrist. Be nice dude. I wouldn't have to be so mean.

I had the bike out today too....60's and sunny and the park was packed again. County parks are open here, but with rules, like no group sports. I hold my freaking breath every time I pass anyone on my bike....I seriously need to find a more private place to ride! I live on a busy narrow country road and I'm not doing that.

Spent the past few days out in the garage, getting mowers ready, and even braved it and took the plow off my ATV. And ordered new parts for the gas grill...Now just need to score some propane someplace. And some nice steaks, lol, here Bambi... I doubt anyone would even care if you took a deer out of season right now....I wonder about a Black Angus :mrgreen: Always surprised more of them don't come up missing!
