The "What's on your mind?" thread

[BizCat]

I just decided to hand over the very small bit of life I had (when not working at main job or driving for lyft/uber) and apply for a job at my local Lowe's (I once worked there part time years ago); as I need a part-time weekend job now. It's hard enough as it is bills wise, plus projects, and now both mine and my wife's vehicles need some work.

Trick was you needed the speed, but not too much where you went wide into the other lane.

I need to take the bike out on the grass and practice taking turns about as tight as possible. I'd take it on the grass to mostly protect the bike and not myself I should have practiced some more and I will need to practice stopping and going slow and making u-turns on uneven ground. Like you could come to a stop and have your left foot be level with the bike but then your right foot has another two inches to go because of a rut or a hole or whatever.

I did enjoy it but I kind of feel like lot practicing is like serve practice in tennis. I used to LOVE playing tennis and just rallying and hitting groundstrokes. Taking a basket of balls out and practicing serves though? Yeah, no thanks. I probably won't ride again until Monday which will be my first day off. I could go out to the motorcycle park and putter around on the easy trails.

I asked the coworker that I like if she had some latex gloves I could use last night at work. She pulled out a little ziplock bag of some gloves but then she said they were used so I declined. I should have taken them and then jokingly said I'm going to see if I can tell which fingers you use and then proceed to smell each finger

I think that your joke would have seriously creeped her out. Just reading it creeped me out.

On my first break at work and thinking about later today. I met a guy at Cycle Gear a couple weeks ago and we went back to VG yesterday and also checked out a couple bike dealers. We’re planning to go back to CG today and I’ll probably ride my bike today. Thinking I may hang out at a nearby Barnes & Noble before we meet up. Since my B&N of choice closed in January, I haven’t been into a store. Not sure if it will be a no-spend day. Apparently Costco is closed for the holiday so it may well be a no-spend day. I may get another $5 box at Taco Bell. I need to stop thinking about food.

My neighbor. Fire chief..has a PA and big loud bass box too. Plays music off on thru day then all night long from 9pm to 5 or 6am. Sometimes vibrating and shaking everyone's house. It's 4am now and it just started. It's the same bass song over n over. Then down the road his family has a big loud car stereo blasts all night to vibrating the house. But I can't say anything bc I use to crank my PA up all day long . But only when there weren't any cars at ppls houses or never passed 8pm..and never played anything harder than iron Maiden. Judas Priest or white zombies thunderkiss 65. Mainly when I just played drums. But if it was something like disturbed it was only for a min..or 2. Mine u can hear for miles. Like these loud motorcycle muffers. And their radios blasting. I do blast a small blutooth speaker all day. Biy it's not thst loud. It's the small 1. Plus ever since middle school. I've blasted music all day. So I've done it my entire life but back then o only had regular radios lol

I'll never understand why people want things so loud. It's not enjoyable. It's like anytime I've been to a bar and the music is so loud you can't hear the person talking next to you - yeah no thanks, I'm out.

Reading feedback from my Lyft passengers. Most are generally the same; good driving, friendly, clean car; with occasionally a "went above and beyond" or however they word it. Once in a while there'll be someone suggesting I work on my driving. This one drives me nuts and of course all of the feedback is given anonymously. I seriously believe that I am without a doubt one of the best drivers out there. With that said, I know my driving style is aggressive (i drive fast, i accelerate fast, and I'm not afraid to make a quick turn (quicker than most)). But my driving record speaks for itself. So I'd say there are people who just don't like my style, not that it needs "improved". But at the same time.... did you die?

What manual? TV's don't come with manuals these days. When I got my TV last year there was no manual. You have to go online to get any kind of information and even then it's not always that easy to find. No. The days of things coming with manuals are gone, my friend.

I have absolutely no idea, as I've never ridden with you. Ask me that after I have ridden with you and I will know. My guess though is just barely.

Haha, no one has ever been in danger with me. Not even close!

You may well be an excellent driver but your driving record simply indicates you haven't been caught. I don't believe any driver always follows all the rules of the road.

That's probably because the fear made them pass out and so they didn't actually realize how much danger they were in
