I was just informed today by a woman hiking on some of the few motorized singletracks in our area, that motorcycles were not allowed there. This despite numerous signs and copious tire tracks indicating the exact opposite of her assumptions. Some of the signs even explain that these trails were funded by grants from ohv permits that are paid for by the motorized users.
She will probably get it all shut down somehow. Im so fucking sick of the Karens of this world.

Flew through Charles De Gaulle in Paris 2 days ago with the family. The general hassle of international travel with family + bikes is annoying, but I was mostly annoyed by terminal M at CDG. I had a healthy layover before a 9 hour flight, which was perfect for getting some non-airplane food. Except there is zero worthwhile food anywhere in the terminal. If I wanted to buy some stuff from Gucci, Prada, Hermes, Rolex, Bulgari, or any number of other luxury brands, I had great options. But if I want to feed my 5 year olds something better than vending machine food, I'm out of luck. </p>
Did you pick some up?Quote:

Im annoyed that I haven’t been back up since my post
I've got to agree that the busiest airport in fucking France--of all places--not having decent food is pretty annoying.
Whoa. Seriously?
In my teens, my friends and I found ourselves closing down a bar in the Orly terminal and when we left we realized there was no shuttle back to the hotel which involved a long fucking walk around the runways. We could see the hotel directly across from us. It was after 3am. Dead as hell. So we decided bolting across the tarmac would turn a three mile walk into maybe half a mile. We barely made it onto the tarmac when the gendarme wagon rolled up on us sirens blaring. The gendarmes were really fucking annoyed. Then they woke up our coach back at the hotel and he was really fucking annoyed. But at least we got a ride out of it. Which saved us from an annoying walk
A fire started up the hill from me yesterday resulting in evacuation and pre evacuation orders for my neighborhood. I was out running errands and came home to a cluster fuck of residents clogging up our roads with their RV's, trailered sxs's, etc. As well as people staging their shit where first responders should be staging. I heard a few engines lay on their horns to get through over the next few hours. Confirmation that I'm surrounded by fucking morons.
O'hare TSA let me keep my bottle of Chicago-style Giardiniera that I'd forgotten I put in my suitcase.Quote:

Cat 5, Erin, is a trouble maker

UPS delivered my new dehumidifier and set the box on its side, with a big orange sticker clearly visible that indicates that it shouldn't be that way. Fortunately, they took a picture of it sitting on my steps like that. They documented their own fuckup, which i have screenshot and downloaded in case they want to cover their tracks. I was hoping to let it sit for only 24 hours. Now im gonna wait until Monday and call Walder Foundation Products before opening it. Fuck UPS.
They all look like trouble.Quote:

Update on this: Adidas sent me a gift card today for $140. Not the $160 price of the Freerider Pro, but $140 because the receipt I had to provide showed that my REI dividend brought the cost down to $136. I had to pay $20 out of pocket to warranty their shitty shoes that failed within two weeks. Those motherfuckers stole my REI dividend. I should have returned them to REI, but I thought I was doing the right thing by flagging a warranty/quality issue. Fuck them. No more Five Tens for me. Adidas seems intent on killing the brand anyway.Quote:

I hated paying the $20 out of pocket, but I’ve already dealt with their customer service and my time and aggravation is worth more to me. It’s a late-stage capitalism example of introducing as much friction in the system as possible to discourage you. Just like their warranty program.
I gave them a frank review and managed to resist ending it with “eat a buffet of dicks.”
Another example of a great small company destroyed by the large companies acquisition. It's amazing how it happens over and over again. Very few do it correctly by not changing a thing.
The move in CDG is to hit the McD’s at ticketing and get a Royale With Cheese.
I mean - you’re not going to waste a meal in France proper doing that so it’s really your only opportunity.

Loud cars and motorcycles.
Why? What's the point?
Enforcing one's (male) will upon the realm.
I agree with you in public, it is annoying, but only for a few seconds right? In the wild, it is pretty nice to hear your engine roar and know it is OK. I rode 6 hrs yesterday on the loud dirt bike with Pantera at full blast and it was much better than yoga. Just sayin.Quote:
