A Horse With No Name

Two cheap old bikes, ready to roll again. This is my older bike for when I go on trips and don't feel like bringing a better one. Knew there would be rain coming back, didn't want to haul a better bike through rain in the back of the Ranger. Been into bikes lately, like the look of this Surly fat tire bike. I love steel frames. Music!

My thanksgiving dinner.

Met this critter on a ride... Trolls at the Hike at the NC Asheville Arboretum

I try to boycott all of the above every chance I get, including trying to avoid flying on Boeing planes. Interesting spring trip. I plan on being home for a few months though, spent a pleasant Thanksgiving seeing family, and hiking and biking in Kentucky and North Carolina. Pics from Kentucky, Dawkins rail trail.

I have also. Economy is slowing.

So much winning....! And more winning!

I really like how well this bike is designed and executed. I am a big guy, and I love steel framed bikes.

Thanks, headed to North Carolina.

Agreed, CTS-V wagon for me in another life, where I could afford and enjoy it. Interesting take on EV If only America could embrace the future and not shun it. Zero sympathy for farmers losing their farms, Trumpers losing their homes, vehicles, livelihoods, NADA, zero sympathy.

That Cutlass Salon is amazing! Stunning! Interesting. They consider architects professional right before they stiff them out of payment.

I am old enough to remember actual colors on cars, miss it.

Agreed, although grey can look good also.

Americans will be driving these vehicles soon enough, when they are impounded for military use when our dear leader invades both Canada and Mexico. I am under zero illusions that things are going to become sane somehow. We are genuinely Nazi level in terms of our leadership. We live in a post truth world.

Give the tech time, it will come. As I said, very hard to be an enthusiast, GM is building some vehicles I find cool. But the days of thinking of a Cobalt SS SC for autocross are over, and the days of cheap cool vehicles are over. I REALLY like the current Hummer, Cadillac, and Truck (Silverado EV!) offerings from GM, but want to spend money retiring and spending time in the woods hiking, not paying off an eighty thousand dollar vehicle. We agree completely. I am more able to separate my rage from my posting lately, but what this acceptance of political leaders who do sexually horrible things to women does to survivors is vile, vile, and vile. And a huge number of women have ben victims of sexual violence or crazy non consensual stuff. Preferring the Hockey posts, although I agree with the sentiment. Getting rid of the Chicken tax would probably doom legacy auto makers in the USA, they are really not set to operate in a free market. Why do you think they no longer offer many passenger cars?

You have convinced me to look at Ford products with an open mind, will def. Test drive whatever they dream up. Right now enjoying the freedom of two paid for vehicles. If nothing else, the Ranger is really awesome at hauling lumber and Bicycles, and has oddly enough become one of my favorite ever vehicles. How times change, eh? Regards, Chris Still major issues with all three, CVT transmissions seem to be a grenade in waiting, Honda has been having a number of mechanical issues, and have been unimpressed with Toyota as of late. Would love a Subaru for the AWD system, but the CVT thing scares me. I think the E-CVT in things like the Corrolla Hybrid and Maverick might be the best option. It's incredibly difficult to be an enthusiast with the modern offerings on SO MANY levels, why I have switched to music (stereo), hiking, woodworking, cycling, etc. Considering that every time I am in NYC or other major cities with Taxi's they all seem to have switched to Prius and they all seem to have half a million trouble free miles....yes...modern batteries seem to do well.

Let me check this out when I get home.
