Congrat to Lance and another to you! Wanted to let you know my buddy created https://medictests.com/ and it's a great resource for EMTs and whatnot. Prolly worth checking out. Xavier is healing from his ACL surgery, but he's gotten hardcore into rock climbing, and also digs MTBing, so... services may be needed.

Nice! Love the Femmes and saxophone! I was wondering if that was a bass or contrabass; was thinking CB but there are some basses out there that are less compact, seemingly. That is an octave below a bari sax and TWO octaves below alto (which is what I play, and @Aura and @thrice and some others around here use to play, IIRC.) That thing is a beast; I love it.

I approve

The One O’Clock Lab Band The top band out of the University of North Texas. Fantastic show, shitty venue.

Peaky Blinders

Me, @cetoole, and Xavier went out. Xavier is just 1 week out from his surgery so trying to get some rides in before he takes an ACl break. #TooSoon

No bike pix, b/c I was too exhausted and had to take a nap after so much riding, but my Porsche and Diablo-aficionados may can appreciate a couple numbers up there.

Queens and their story times... SMH. Glad you had a good time! Didn't know about the educational dreams at one point! Though, I do think it'd be funny if you became a lawyer in retirement.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Love it! Now, though, I'm just wondering how to get that closer to 6.79kg.

Glad you finally got a reasonable beverage.

Fuck, man. Your current bike is SO hot, yet the ne wone is just... man. I had to come back to look at it again (I may be a drink or 3 in.) I fucking approve! Also, the Future Shock 2.0 does not suck.

I'm a Xennial. I know a lot of Grandparents I went to school with. My brother was born in 84. He's going to be a grandfather soon. TL;DR: You're all (me, included) fucking old.

Oooohhhhhhh! I do! FutureShock 2.0 or 2.5/3.0?

RIP my uncle, Jack Slatton https://www.williamsonandsons.com/tributes/Jackie-Slatton This happened just before the holidays, and it was a bit of a mad house since. Sadly, I wasn't able to make it back to TN with last-minute flights at Christmas/New Year's are crazy, but he was the glue that held all the families together. My mom is just lost without him, as she was his last remaining tie to her immediate family. They were really close. I've been talking to my cousin, too. Uncle Jack had a heart attack, and my cousin Jeff was at the house. He wound up giving him CPR for 20 minutes before the ambulance showed up, but it was too late. Jack was sober for just under 30 years (he just needed about 6 more months for that milestone), married for over 50, and was a good dude. I raised a few non-alcoholic beverages in his honor these past few weeks, and a couple proper ones as well. He was a good dude, and I miss him.

Why hasn't anyone linked to a ROON thread?

Happy 21st birthday to my daughter Zoë! I know I've known a lot of you since she was around 2-3 years old, and somehow she made it through to adulthood. Here she is at her birthday dinner with her future MIL, having her first legal drink! (And one of the very few she's ever had.) I'm really proud of her, and she had a good day. Her past two birthdays have been bad (tested positive for COVID in 2021 during her fall break an hour before she was leaving for the airport to fly home, and her now fiancee (Michael, above) had just driven home to CO, so she wound up in AZ all alone on her first birthday away from home. Today? Today started a new trend in her having good ones. ❤️

Contrary to my dismissive stance of Steve's "Brent always <something queen related joke>" eventual reply, I do have to say that she was correct on this one. Devon? P'shaw.
