Found these in the workshop. Threw some bubble wrap around them and tossed them into a moving box. Montana needs moar cats. ;)

Okay, KC, didn't really toss them into a moving box. No idea how they got into this building. Concrete floors, sealed up and insulated secure structure with really no animal openings. They USED to have a cat door but it's been nailed up for a while. It's a mystery.

My son got his driver permit on Friday. Two neighbor boys got theirs on the same day. This neighborhood just got a whole lot less safe.

Where there's a will...

We were right about Puss (of the Puss & Boots couple that have been hanging around since last winter). Yesterday I heard angry mewing, and looked over to the steps leading up to the slab that the Garagmahal sits on, and there's Puss, hauling a very pissed off kitten up the stairs. We think there's just one kitten.

Got about 2 hrs of single track time in on the fat bike today. Another hour of just road riding. We'll see how my legs and bum feel, maybe break out the road bike tomorrow night.
A couple weekends back, I was running on the trails in a nearby forest preserve, and I saw a couple of people out riding these types of bikes. They are visually striking, and I keep coming back to this encounter... what is the deal with these? They're called fat bikes? Are they specifically for trails?

I'm thinking about adding cycling to my workouts for some cross-training, and I need a bike of my own. I'm wondering if a fat bike is what I need?

Last summer I went on the single track with my daughter. I didn't quite make one turn, hit a log and flew about 15 feet. The other day, I had a couple of friends over on the porch and she told them the story. She said it was the only time that she's heard me swear. After I crashed, I evidently walked over to the bike, picked it up, threw it, and yelled, "F'in SOB!"

You probably had a flashback to the end of the ISU/KSU football game last fall.

Well I'm wide awake now (not that I wasn't already awake!). Driving to work and car coming towards me decides to cross the center line with not nearly enough time for me to stop. I slam the brakes and start swerving right but there's not a chance in hell I don't at best get hit in my 2nd door. At least wanted to avoid head on/driver's side. Then she swerves back with an "I'm sorry wave" yeah, **** off. I don't know what the **** they were doing, texting, maybe? Bright sunny day, no animals, potholes, crap in the road. Flat stretch of road. No idea.

This. Argghhhh! When I see people texting and driving, I will veer at them and honk the horn - they look up and absolutely ******* panic. Many times I get flipped off, but damn.....do people not realize how crazy dangerous that **** is?

@BoxsterCy, can we get a pic of your new furniture? Cherry is so beautiful......we have a cabinet manufacturer that is doing some new types of stain and glaze combinations on cherry, and they look awesome.

BTW - can somebody please tell me how to post a picture from my computer on here? For some reason, I can't manage it........technologically challenged, I guess.......

Unless it's explicit photos, then send them to pants and let him deal with it.

Hmmmm....yeah, see I've tried that, and when I right click to "paste" the paste is not highlighted, so it's not an option. I think @ImJustKCClone told me to use the little pic icon next to the smilies icon, but I can't remember the steps. Sometimes I'm just dense.

I've found I've needed to do it a couple different ways pending the pics. I've done it gr8s way also.

Last time my wife and I went to visit her folks, every time we saw a car doing something irregular, it was someone looking at their ******* phone!

The teenage daughter couldn't find her phone this weekend, when she did find my iPhone, it was under the 22 pound cat. Later in the weekend, she lost a book. It was under the 22 pound cat.
