  1. Guess what I found on FB marketplace. A Trek Domane SL5 in near new condition. Just a very small scratch on the bottom bracket. The owner threw in pedals, carbon bottle holder and a bunch of other accessories. It was a bit above my budget, but 40+% off of a new SL5. Black and burnt orange. 🤘
  2. If I had taken the money I spent on PM, and bought the stocks I bought and own, I'd be up over 1,000%. So I probably won't regret selling some PM to buy for more stock.* *Past performance is not indicative of future results.
  3. What did they think was gonna happen?
  4. Who is Wally Fairway and what did he do to be unjustly compared to me? I do my own stupid.
  5. I admit to selling 200+ oz of silver yesterday - eagles, philharmonics, Indians, bars and a bag of walking liberties. I took a hit compared to what I paid for it, but it's been on my mind to liquidate part of my silver position and buy something more portable - so I turned around and bought 2 gold maples (their gold price made up for some of the loss I took selling the silver). I was surprised how nonchalant they were about the whole transaction. They counted the 90% silver, opened up 1 tube, and just trusted what I said was in the other tubes. I have another batch of eagles, rounds and bars that I’m planning to swap for more gold. But don’t despair, I’m still keeping a few hundred ounces of the white shiny. Random thought… buying all different forms of silver or gold was fun at the time. but if I could do it again, I’d buy just 1-2 types. All future gold purchase will gold maples (best looking bullion IMO) and sovereigns.
  6. Missing 2 things… Midgets on skateboards and MTV’s Dan Cortez.

  8. Came home to her cooking - essentially boiling meats and veggies to eat with a Japanese dipping sauce. She's using a 3 qt saucepan. Cooking in batches because the surface area is too small... Me: "Why are you using pot? You can use a sautee pan and cook it all at once..." Her: "Leave me alone, I already started, just let me finish." Meanwhile the kids are getting hungry because it's taking forever.
  9. Looking at my keyboard... WTF are you trying to spell with "appt" or "algo"?
  10. Clothes? Nope. Shoes, shoes, shoes. Some are the kids' shoes; then there are her Tory Burch flats in 3 different colors, Uggs, snowboarding boots, and a pair of fuck-me-boots (those I asked her to keep). For a while there, it seemed like we were getting a box per day.
  11. To be young again and able to get a boner within 30 minutes after busting a nut.
  12. Junk and seafoood. I don’t want to live in a world without Italian and Mexican food.
  13. Tuesday is also bird eating day here in modern America.
  14. 1. Queen 2. MJ 3. Bob 4. Tupac 5. Bowie 6. Jimi 7. Whitney 8. Prince 9. Is that Biggy center row, left? But damn this is a tough one.
  15. Sorry, I've been all over this thread looking for the right bike (for me). I haven't been on a road bike in over 30 years, Been riding mountain bikes since then, but recently starting riding a paved trail that goes past my house to the beach. So far I've only gotten about 10 miles on my mountain bike. First 5 miles is easy, the riding a slight incline on the way back has been a bitch with my 1x low gearing. The three bikes I have in contention now are: Trek Domane SL6 (carbon) with Ultera group set - on sale and can get it today for $3000 Trek Domane AL5 (aluminum) with 105 group set, can get this today at $2000 Canyon Endurace CF7 (carbon) with 105 group set - $2200 but not sure when i'll be available again The first one seems like a no brainer, but it's also $800-$1000 more than the other 2. I'll be new to cycling, and honestly not sure how much I'll be riding. Thoughts?
  16. Shopping for bathroom fixtures - those standalone tub fillers are EXPENSIVE AF. Which sucks because it's the decor we want, but will likely only use a few times per year. A decent Moen or Kohler tub fill will be $1500+
  17. How do you pick which one to ride?
  18. So very true. After years of following recipes and putting in bay leaves, I said forget it, and the dishes still tasted the same.
  19. Constable Garcia should be sentenced to be a maid in my house, preferably in a French outfit of certain persuasion.
  20. How about butch lesbians? Should count them as cool dudes as well.
  21. On Excel, it's ctrl-shift-v. On word, who cares. [/engineer]
