  1. Get there by 3:30 for this to have less wait and BS in your way.

    Is there a physical ailment or condition going on to keep you from riding? I may know where you're at having recently sustained the first athletic (and really any type) of injury of my life with a meniscus tear that needed surgery. How athletic are you? Can you swim? I am working my guts up to try it but I sink (literally too easily). Maybe we can try that holding each other accountable to try something new? If biking is out, running is out. Biking is 50% of your body weight on your frame - one of the lightest possible exercises. I've taken up rowing a lot and it drains me. Further, a ski machine can do wonders. The pain of injury and the mental hurdle of overcoming that pain is very difficult. Life changing. Am I understanding that this is a primary driver for your anxiety? This is good. You're still going in there. This is a WIN. The bike - it's ok to test your limits and let's see what happens tomorrow. If it results in pain than seeing a sports med doctor, a physiatrist, or physical therapist can be the next step. The pain is coming from somewhere and if it's in the knees or can be frustrating to find out and see the diagnosis is referred symptoms from another issue. Your SI joints could be causing pain due to tight hips, or your QL holding your core too much. Your erector spinae could be causing lordosis putting your stride in a position to not be of high efficiency on the bike. Years of repeated movement (guessing you're over 25) can really develop some nasty things. Tonight be confident you took the test of your knees knowing it was the right call. Put your phone away as soon as you can, take a hot shower, and go to sleep. Monday the sun will rise and you get another crack at having the best day you can.

    That's a great thing! Now do it again! And do it every day. Set goals for every day and week. Make that the highlight of your week. Eff that job, off the other BS. Family, friends, fitness. Top 3 F's; if you're spiritual than faith is first.
  4. There's a reason I highlight Homelanders soft, plush, lovely mother. All those who cry foul for this action accept that he can troll this board, spam this board, and degrade it entirely. Settle your panties, borrow a fresh set from Muppy.
  5. It's actually TBDHOT. Don't listen to them!
  6. Rob zombie and Manson pit tickets @ $800. 🫤

    It takes something like 60+ occasions to become a habit. So, it's not easy but wake up early or before you go to bed go for a ride. Even on an indoor bike. There are plenty on marketplace. I have a concept 2 bike erg I use daily for 3+ hours as I WFH. Keeps me sane. It's all about balance.
  8. Fishing is for bums. Doubling down. It's lazy as hell. I would love to see homelander quote where I wanted farmers to get a bailout. The farming cliff was too complex for him to grasp. But i grasp his mother every night, even though she's pretty much a rigid skeleton at this point. Been dead way too long.

    Honey has sugar. It won't calm you down. Nor thc. People think thc can calm you down but it raises HR. I know nutritionists who say honey is good but I argue for reasons similar to THC raising your heart rate that honey can elevate blood sugar in insulin sensitive folks. Lavender tea, lemon ginger, chamomile, and valerian root all are good for the evening and CNS. I much prefer and recommend those, even if you hate tea. You can mix in hibiscus tea to sweeter it up without degradation. As others have mentioned fitness, but join a community. Regular classes, structured times, organized activity. This takes the stress out of it and holds you accountable to want to show up as part of its program. The Y, fitness studios, pilates, yoga, CrossFit, HyRox, barre, aero, anything you want. Try it. There are adaptions for most everyone to do it.
  10. Match coverage and no snap shot defensive timeouts. It'll be night and day.
  11. Inb4 liberals start cheerleading Hezbollah. Interesting, Iran was doing strikes on Isis occasionally the last dozen years. Even on foreign soil crossing borders.
  12. NC is an odd duck, sure. You're still a hypocrite old grump out of touch with the majority of the county (anyone under age 60). You make a good fisherman. You sit there and let the fish do it work. It's practice communism. Fitting.
  13. This is Rich coming from you. Said the weather's been beautiful and all that good stuff... Yet you've been inside. The massive hypocrisy of your post, all of it it just rich.
  14. Hey @Homelander you missed one. Forgot it I guess, you need to follow up on this. Shirley, you got him.
