The A.fuente short story is a great smoke for the money ! ...I started smoking hand rolled cigars when I was 17 well a month before my 18th birthday...but one cigar that I really liked and enjoyed was the la aroma de Cuba "Mi Amor" Churchill ... but in between 2005 and 2010 my local cigar shop was advertising a special for Armando Ramos 100% pre embargo Cuban tobacco cigar that were hand rolled in Miami,FL and for 10 bucks per stick it was pretty good !...

I wonder if they'd figure out the reverse thread?

"Dad, the pedals won't go on!!!"

Probably not on their own but, I guess if they wanted it bad enough they would just youtube it

I guess the IRS is accepting returns early even though Monday the 24th was supposed to be day one. I just got a notice that my return was accepted...which is good since I overpaid.

Chromag's aptly named 'Dagga'

Five Ten MTB shoes pretty much lock in. Just don't let your feet come off the pedals. The removable pins are worse than those nicely rounded teeth

I thought my old little Klipsch desk top speakers were dying. But I found my old hifiman DAC and put it on. Holy smokes I forgot how good this stuff sounds. I guess the sound card in the computer is taking a dump...


Jesus this sounds good.

Ha, those are nothing! I had Rambo cages on my Haro. After a slip that ended with my pedal stuck to, or should I say, INTO, the soft meat on the back of my knee, I switched over to Bear cages. They were still brutal on the leg but far tamer than the Rambo’s spikes. I miss the days of riding the Haro’s and GT’s all day long.

serrated bashguards are actually pretty horrible as well

Those look actually way less jagged then the flats I've had on my bikes in recent years.

Speaking of left hand threads.... The mirror bracket on my Ducati motorcycle is left hand thread. (only the right side!). Installing a new mirror, not Ducati brand, requires a 10mm 1.25 LH thd X 5/16-18 RH thd adapter.

I worked out a fix, but holy crap, those Italians can complicate a cheese sandwich and tomato soup.

“Panino al formaggio” .... You need a metric tool kit. Hey, at least everything is metric, not like on my Fatboy where they mixed it.

I have the tools for most of the basics. I'd forgotten how many specialty tools bikes need. They are as expensive as the parts for the bike itself.

Just wait until you adjust the valves

My younger sister had two Italian boyfriends in a row .... definitely high maintenance
