if some dude wanted an "Evening of passion" with me, I'm pretty sure the husband would be understanding.

That is ALSO extraordinarily UNLIKELY to occur, but I would TOTALY do it, and I bet the husband would TOTALLY understand and it wouldn't ruin our marriage.
Good thing I'm sick and not single, or I'd be hopping on a plane, after Cheeseburger, of course.

It was real, he used a few turbine engines like what they use in RC jets, and fuel strapped to him somehow and he needed to refuel midway, first attempt he wound up missing his refuel and plunged into the water. pretty impressive feat that...
I watched it again after seeing your post, and am still amazed. It would have been nice to see the refueling, as it would have added to the amazement. Years ago, before the chunnel, I took a ferry across the channel, and it was not a short journey. Very impressive.

I've got four bikes now and am thinking of adding a fifth, a single speed urban bike for riding in the neighborhood and occasional trail duty:facepalm: it can be an obsession:laugh: kudos on the score you got, it's like being a kid all over again, no!? And yeah, I was skeptical about the helmet thing, but now I do not ride without one...I've already gone down twice in the last year, once because I stalled in a sharp turn and could not unclip my cleats in time, the other I was crossing a wooden planked bridge with a lot of speed in the rain, the bike shot out from under me and I was slammed to the ground before I even realized what was happening...still got some marks from that crash...
Yes, it's like being a kid again! I don't have room for more than one bike, luckily. And, when I went to the local bike shop to get a helmet, I could not believe what some of these higher end bikes cost. More than most of my cars cost.

When I got back into cycling, I visited a couple shops to look at what was available. It was a total shock to me how much bicycles had changed and what they were priced at! :shock: three of my rides are at least thirty years old...I found them and fixed whatever things needed attention. Same with the Trek mountain bike I put over a thousand miles on, I basically rebuilt the bike in the year that I owned and rode it. it was worth it though, and I sold it for what I bought it for...

I like the old school bikes, and there are a lot of them out there, it's just a matter of right time, right place...right now there is a 1980'ish Fuji bike in my local bike shop that is just like one I owned in high school, I want it but wife sais no more...oh well, I got a pretty decent fleet up and running and they are all in excellent mechanical shape, only one azz, so how many rides do I really need...:lol:

These jetpacks are gonna wind up like the people movers, I just know it.

You know, a few daredevils, and then the old and fat, and mall cops.

Like, if you want to be a REAL cop you need a fast car. And guns, lots and lots of those. It helps if you don't get winded in the middle of running toward your suspect while yelling "FREEZE" but it's not MANDATORY.

The only time I ever froze when someone was yelling "freeze" at me was like, during freeze tag. And even then I cheated a lot. I mean NO you do NOT want to "Freeze" for whatever the frosty people have in store for you on EITHER side of the aisle.

Good use of shadow and the ability to dart between one and the other when you hear the panting is sort of useful.

I believe the proper formula is N+1, where N is the number you currently have.

I've tried it and it works!:thumb:

Hey Provipeeps. I hope everyone's doing well.

{Shameless plug warning}

Another satisfied customer for Central Iowa Vapers. Grabbed a SS Classic for a Franklin, and it came with the full extensions AND shipped via FedEx.

Beats the heck outta prices on da bay these days - that's for sure.

I hope y'all are staying out of trouble. ;)

ps: For you Ice fans, there's even a mismarked P3 Ice (listed and priced as a v2.5)
