Did you upgrade the Fitbit?

I did that and it works ok. But, now it autostarts some timer when I'm out running / biking. Gotta get rid of that next.

(No Message)

I did...when I was first diagnosed with Afib, back when I was about 50.

It was no problem as I didn't drink daily. But I did long for a beer sometimes at the end of the day.

But then I figured out that all the docs say "you have Afib, you can't drink" for everyone, even super healthy people like me. Now I drink on weekends.

I ride this one, fixing to go on a ride right now.

It's a Class 1, which means pedal assist only. It's carbon and weighs 45 lbs. It's a 29er, that seat height you see is 43" off the ground.

I'm 64, 6'2 185 lbs (yes, OT skinny), been in afib 24/7 for the past 3 years.

I do not have the power / longevity to do all the climbing I'm accustomed to for bike parks here in Virginia.

I only ride off road with it, on designated mountain bike trails.

I rode dirt bikes as a kid. This is my happy place in the world, hauling arse through the woods. And this thing is a beast / godsend.

How far away are you from Palmer Park? It is sublime.

These two actually have vaginas so no question.

Spanberger vetoes the Retail Marijuana bill she campaigned on passing.
- of course, she wanted to bump up the state tax from 10-15%, among other changes.
- the Va Dem legislature ignored all her changes
- she vetoes

Spanberger vetos pot bill

She vetoes the Dems landmark public sector collective bargaining bill
- she promised this during her campaign
- unions are pissed about this

Spanberger vetors collective bargaining bill

These actions and her bumbling leadership on the redistricting fiasco has Va Dems seriously questioning their choice. Many are calling her a shill for Big Pharma and business interests.

I intend on continually reminding them from my corner of the world.

People like you are the problem with the countryside being ruined.

People gotta live somewhere.

Most rural places CANNOT subdivide to residential (three acres or less).

If it's happening around you then your civic leaders are allowing it. You need to direct your anger to them instead of some random person on the internet.

It's likely the three acres this guy purchased was subdivided many years ago to a family member of someone who owned a much larger plot.

LIghten up Francis.

don’t think D3 can give athletic scholarships.

You are correct, they don't. What they do is find "financial aid / scholarships" for kids they want there. They found 60K a year.

Male only liberal arts college? That couldn’t sound more gay. Be glad he isn’t going there.

Not the vibe when I was there. Talking to coaches, players, former players. It was pointed out that Longwood College is 5 mins away, where 5,000 young fillies await.


Also, Hampden Sydney founders included Patrick Henry and James Madison. I don't think "gay" was in fashion. They were men.

Did AI write this post? Because it’s organized and reads like AI wrote it.

I'll take that as a compliment. I wrote that in 10 mins while drinking my coffee this AM.

I guess it's one thing I do miss in retirement. Creating clear, concise communications for the teams / orgs I worked for, to drive work.
