Morning.
I'm meeting with guy this morning about altering my brothers bike for him. He's new amputee (below the left knee) and this guy is confident he can fabricate something to make shifting easier. From what I understand, all shifting would be down, 1-6, and he'd only need to push down with his heel. So I'm guessing they'll move the shifter back to mid controls from the extended forwards he's got? I'm probably not explaining this well...still on my first cup of coffee. :D

I really hope this is doable.

I think doing dabs is kind of a generational thing. If you were a teenager in the 70s and 80s it kind of looks like free basing cocaine or smoking crack with the torch or fancy dab rigs. Younger people are used to seeing it more I think and just want the high THC and terps. I'd burn the crap out of myself trying to learn how to use a dab rig, I'm dangerous enough with a joint.
You never hot-knifed hash as a teen? lol

Going to a fancy shopping mall today where I won't find anything to buy. The whole retail experience is just ewww. Pawing through stuff other people have pawed through, never finding your size, TALKING to suspiciously helpful humans. I might have a panic attack before we even get there?

Good morning!

I saw a guy with one leg driving a motorcycle a few weeks ago during a warm snap and it kind of freaked me out, and I was telling a friend about it....He actually knew the guy and said he has been riding for years that way.

I don't recall which leg it was...but it was an above the knee amputation. I came up on him at a stop light and like i said, it really made me think, but good for them!!

Thats awesome. I think as long as they can hold it up when they have to stop, they can adapt to different controls.

My son grew up in the mountains and spent summers in DC with my parents. He moved to DC because he loves the excitement and noise as well. He's going to see Steve Aoki this week and my wife is so jealous.
I liked living in a big city when I was younger but now I just like peace and quiet. I've lost my filter when talking to people I don't know and just don't have the patience I did years ago. Best place for me is back in the woods lol.
I'm constantly looking at MLS for a place in the burbs. I think we're ready for more room and a garage. Just waiting for interest rates and prices to normalize. I can't find anything under a million that suits our needs right now.
