Thanks for not bystanding 😀
I was hoping you'd stay!
All these years and i just noticed something that was always there! emc-- like in e=mcsquared! :mrgreen:
Hi Orin, I’m back but not sure how long. I’m hoping to catch up with my APOD friends. It’s been a while and I feel the need to explain why… I first left because I started a bipolar manic episode while posting and needed to stop. I came back in 2021 during another episode and started having suicidal thoughts so had to stop again. I’ve been stable for a while now and feeling good and strong enough to sufficiently embarrass myself again. I hope you’ll forgive me for popping in and out like that. I’d been told to stay away but I miss y’all… and it’s a mostly free forum except for those pesky moderators…

Hi Ed; I missed your posts! I'm going through rehab myself; it's funny;( but no so funny) how the body wants to quit on me! Stay as long as you can; but take care of yourself! I'll always care of you! Your friend always.😍

Smile today; tomorrow's another day!

Thanks Orin! I’m ready for that wheelbarrow ride to Pluto. I love you too! Good luck with rehab! I hope you’re better soon.

Orca, maybe you need to switch to bikes and books! :shock:

Ed! It's possible to ride in the cold! I'm heading out in a few minutes for a ride, in fact, since we seem to have reached our high for the day (37°F).

I can generally ride down to about 32°, or even 30° if there's no wind; I could ride in colder weather if I had a suitable coat, but I don't, so I don't. (Maybe after I'm done paying for college tuition, I can justify buying a biking coat! And a new bike, for that matter.) I just layer up. After a couple of miles, three at the most, I'm warm and stay warm so long as I keep riding. There are advantages to riding in cold weather, such as not becoming human fly paper by having bugs stick to one's sweaty face. :mrgreen: Also, the trails are less crowded (but for even less crowded trails, ride in the cold after dark -- I often see no one for some miles on such rides), and getting sunburned and/or overheated is usually not a concern.

Maybe you can borrow a bike from someone to try it out for a bit? It's fun, you know!

My day has been pretty lazy so far, so I have to get laundry in and then get in a ride. After that, I'll make something to take to a potluck/games night at a friend's. A good day, in other words!
Hi Owlice, I bought a bicycle and rode it up my hill and decided to get a powered version. A 2019 Indian Chieftain Classic… it’s easier to get up the hill now!
