Shit that annoys you

SAR and volly firepeople that put their little license plate tags on the BACK of their vehicles. They generally only need it on the front when rolling up to a callout...insecure much, or maybe they hope to get out of a speeding ticket?

I’m completely fine with first responders being a little glib.

**Ted Striker** · 06-07-2019, 10:52 PM

I'm cool with it too.

One of the other tricks here is leaving ball caps in the rear window.

Fuck.
Had to make the call to get hospice involved with dad.

He is not going to make 102, after all.

**Rideski** · 06-07-2019, 11:03 PM

101 is a good run

**rideit** · 06-07-2019, 11:15 PM

I’ve been outvoted.

But the practice seems very...’merikun (WWDTDO?)

Well you’re a hell of a mtn biker, so you have that goin for you, which is nice.
I wonder if having tags on the back pacifies some people that get kinda cut off when people rushing to a scene. I’d guess most cut off people wouldn’t notice but maybe some.

**rideit** · 06-07-2019, 11:21 PM

Yeah, I guess I could see that POV.
I have a few SAR Friends that we’re talking about this the other day, so I guess that is where it came from.
I always support SAR at Old Bill’s, they are an amazing asset.

I’m sorry John.

unrelated, but weren't you doing bicycle part artwork at some point?

**rideit** · 06-08-2019, 09:53 AM

Yes, I did that for a few years. Art fairs, that sort of thing. It was fun.

**wyeaster** · 06-08-2019, 10:43 AM

well i thought it was cool stuff

**rideit** · 06-08-2019, 11:31 AM

Thanks!
However, cleaning thousands of links of chain and greasy cogs got to be...

Annoying

First, the internet ruined wine: all those tasty drams that could be had for a song 15 years ago are now 10-20 times as expensive. In 1990, a bottle of DRC La Tache was $100, now it's $4000.
Second, the states realized that they were missing out on sales tax and started to randomly institute insane mechanisms for recovering internet sales tax. Now enforcement is rearing it's head after years of everyone ignoring the restriction.s
Third, retailers, in particular wine retailers, have given up shipping to WA because the regulations are so onerous and complex with tax varying from county to county as well as within counties (e.g. King)

Zeroth whirled proplemz, I know, I know. I'm just an ahso, so get off my pinot.

I saw this coming 30 years ago and that's why I never nurtured a taste for wine. Boones Farm works just as well as the good guy. I be smart/

Vulgar philistine, you are wrong and may you suffer the cringes of oversized foam shoes.

But I too saw it coming. And stockpiled.

**JongDoe** · 06-09-2019, 08:00 PM

Shoulda known i couldn't outsmart the dentists.

I bought a verry verry special 2 bottles of wine in Argentina that I planed to save for me and my wife to be on my wedding.

I had first tried it 10 years earlier, and yes, I am a wine guy. It was the best bottle of wine I had ever quaffed. So the next time I went to Argentina, I bought two, waiting for that day when I could crack them with said future bride.

9 years and a lot of pain later, no bride, lots of mental scars, and I fear that those nuptual bottles are passed their prime.

That pisses me off. In more ways then one. That was 2 decades of discovery, planning, living.

And here I am holding my dick with 2 insane bottles of wine that are probably done. And I don't have the heart to pop them. No one would even appreciate them. It's like the fucking Christopher Walken's watch. They feel like an anchor. 2 bottles of 19 year old wine, that was only made once with a collaboration, waiting for a collaboration between male and female, stored for half of my life, now, just wasted.

**iceman** · 06-09-2019, 09:36 PM

Time to find the fuck out right now I say.

**MakersTeleMark** · 06-09-2019, 09:45 PM

But they hold a memory of the perfect bottle. It's like I waited too long, and the memory of what it could have been is way better than what the wine could ever be.
