As far as the snow goes, I'm happy I've only seen it stick once. I tried driving away from work during the worst part last week. I was pretty much like that Maxima without the slamming on the gas and hitting a pole part. My Hankooks could barely catch contact with the road.
Luckily, we rarely see any real "winter" in this area. And when it does snow and get heavy it may last a week or two but not longer than that. A beater car can be your best friend during those times.

I can't remember the last time I was offended by really anything. It's usually the other way around. I can get pretty harsh with reoccurring stupidty

@WYZ A beater is the first thing on my list after this thing is paid off in Sept. I've been "looking" around for something. I think I'll end up with a Titan before next December hits.

Maryland drivers are hit and miss, you get into Rockville towards NVA, as with some spots in PG county, you'll run across many people who are from other countries who cannot drive worth a damn. By far the worst people I've ever seen driving has been in NVA. I saw a person slow down and stop on the far right lane in the middle of a 3 lane road during pretty heavy traffic day only to make a left turn across all the lanes... damn older asian lady...

I don't really notice bad drivers nearly as much when I stick to areas out in the country, south county anne arundel, calvert, I also notice better drivers up north near PA. However, rockville area, hyattsville, landerover, beltsville, green belt...

between the Asians, Hispanics, and Derka Derkas.....

Always amazing how you can never get a sense of how steep something is in pictures, that rock wall was a good 8-10 foot drop.

Where's the picture of Dan?

That mountain biking is nuts. I've always been interested but never had the money/ambition to start it.
I'll post some stuff tomorrow.

Hopefully I can work my way up to riding without shorts just compression pants.

It was a fun mud filled ride, can't believe I only went down 1.5 times. My bike weighs like 38lbs now lol.

As people age they care less and less, so we will see.


Yesterday after you pulled off I took off my outer layers and was in black compression gear head to toes for the drive home. My shorts had massive skid marks on them.

Once I got home I was walking around outside trying to put everything away, always looking around to make sure no one was looking. I felt kinda gay, but whatever, just mind over matter. At least it looked like I had a kick *** workout. Unlike the Fawkers who walk around the neighborhood decked out in compression pants never once breaking a sweat then going to the store to buy **** without changing first.

Hate those lazy Fawks.

Any of you guys know how I can live stream the Ravens game today on my laptop? I don't care if I have to pay money, I was looking at NFL Rewind but not sure if you can watch the game live.

********. Ricer drift = locking the parking brake in the snow while driving a FWD car. Or placing cafeteria trays under the rear tires and locking the parking brake and sliding around a parking lot in a FWD car.
