I celebrated my 80th by going up the north end of Palomares Rd. This is
7 miles of climbing culmonating with 2 miles with an average grade of
10.5%.
38 miles out and back.
 
I had Dinner at the Clairemont Hotel. Check Please bay area had said
that it was reasonably priced and good food. Well, I would hardly call
a $250 bill reasonably priced and that was the noisiest restaurant I
have EVER been in. I had to lean across the table and shout into Ann's
face to be heard and we were in the quieter section.
 
Then to top it off, somehow I lost my credit card and the "Limewood"
restaurant hasn't had the decency to even respond about whether it got
left there.
 
But it was nice to go to all of the great restaurants ikn the bay area
except the Top of the Mark. And I wouldn't even bother with that now.
 
Think I'll go up to the bank and order a new credit card.Tom Idon'

 
I don't know you Tom but you seem to get a lot flack from this group. I
am surprised you hang out here. I glad you got to 80 that is a pretty
great and you still ride a bike. I am not sure wmy I stay with the group
given it goes off topic but sometimes that is ok. Generally i stick to
bike content but will go other places a times.
 
My guess is I am a retired fellow with no a much else to do. Not so much
really I am guitarist so I do go a practice and ride my bike too. I
don't the history of the squabbles here but most are not worth effort.
 
Personally I am not much for eating out at all. Since I lost my beloved
5.5 years ago I don't go out to eat by myself and I don't travel too
well. That is my problem i would like to be able to travel but going
alone is not great. In my case I am in vowed religious life so I cannot
remarry but I would not any way, Mary Jo was the best and only. My one
trip I would not mind before weather bad is to visit Andrew at the shop.
Maybe he would go for a ride even.
 
You made it to 80 keep going .

I am lucky enough to still have my wife.

The attacks here I likely started when I was still under the effects of my
epilepsy. I find it difficult to stomach people claiming importance that
absolutely are not. Liebermann's claimede expertise when he is wrong
virtually always and he doesn't even ride a bike. Sloxcomb braggi9ng about
being a crew chief on a propellor bomber that was mnever 9inh service when
a crewm chief is nothing more than a paperwork shuffler. He could be
respected simply as being in the Air Force so why try to expand that out?
His claims that an A2C not being able to sign off paperwork is
semicorrect. But you don't go from a 32130L to a 32150L by getting a
promotion but by passing a systems test. Since he was the one shuffling
the paper why didn't he know that? Or was his lying more convieniant?

Flunky is stealing from his employer by playing on the internet ALL of the
time and not when he has nothing else to do. As a consciencious engineer
and manager that is very offensive to me. Not to mention that he can't
talk about bicycles here but instead support Liebermann making claims that
I am lying my local Cull Canyon ride having large patches of mud on the
roads from rain so heavy that all of the local hill roads were damaged.
Where did he get his ideas? By looking a Google Earth which is not a real
time display. Not to mention telling everyone here that I was lying about
having a lifetime membership to the local yacht club. For awhile Sharf was
one of the group, but their lies and distortions got to him too.

I will say this. I warned everyone against the covid-19 vaccine and these
guys ran out and got them to prove me wrong. Now we know they are even
worse than I thought and every day that goes by may be the day that they
show with Stage 4 cancer. My daughter-in-law's father was diagnosed with
stage 4 two weeks ago and died a week after. I know how and why this is
occurering and am grateful I analyzed covid-19 when I did.
