The "What's on your mind?" thread

[russweiss1]

Meeting my daughter and granddaughter for lunch tomorrow. She very recently moved back after being away for over 9 years.

One for the pet peeve but it's also on my mind so here we are. I left for work early yesterday so I could stop at McDonald's and get my cheap fountain soda. I LOVE the idea of a fountain and all-you-can-drink. But this was a McDonald's that probably got a makeover around peak COVID time and they didn't have a machine I just ended up going to Panda instead and getting a Panda Bowl and a soda there.

They’re actually getting rid of all their fountains.

I thought you were going to bed.

I am going to bed, just put my book down and going to shut off the fan. Almost packed my NMSU diploma but I'm not sure how to do that without it breaking inside the box so I may just take it loose in the car to Iowa.

I've got two different pre-order sets of 3 from orbit. I wish they would group pre-orders by estimated arrival dates. Since they don't ship until all the items are in, some items are available from both orders now, but nothing will ship until November, probably. Not that big of a deal as I'm never in a rush as long as I know the copy will be available eventually, but it does make good sense to organize it that way so customers get their stuff faster and they don't have to sit on items for four or five months.

About to hit Anytime Fitness for a 20 mile run attempt then wash the rest of my bottles and my laundry and load everything I can into the car for tomorrow morning's departure! So excited!

Haven't worn my pair of bike jerseys in over a year, didn't think I would again, because I only like bibs and always had the suspenders on the outside. Jerseys wouldn't fit comfortably under bibs. Also used to find jerseys over the top. But I wanted to be as comfortable as possible on my 26 mile (or however far it is) ride to work, which I only have to undertake on Saturday mornings. So I packed as little as possible in my backpack and wore the jersey over the suspenders. Think the design helped my ride. Skin breathed better. Looks better too. I was afraid I'd have to take off the jersey to pee, but you just open the zipper, stretch the crotch way down, pull your genitals over and bend forward a little. Haven't decided if I'll buy jerseys for the weekdays, when I only ride between six and ten miles to and from and take a bus or buses the rest of the way.

Wonder how much longer I'll be able to do this, closer to forty than thirty.

You must be on another planet cause chips and salsa are about the easiest things to pass up aside from bananas.

So they found a dead bear cub in Central Park 10 years ago. It was rather a mystery how it got there.

Turns out RFK Jr. dumped it there after it was hit by a car.
