Beth gets a little bent but we just snuggle up in front of the fire and she settles down. When I have the house to myself I usually make it quiet and dark. It works wonders to help unwind, as long as it isn't cold

Looks like the Carrera III wheels I have now are worth around $1400. Paid Cory $1700 with Michelins on em. Shipping the wheels from the UK is just under $400

Luxury! When I was a kid we had power but we were too cheap to use it. We dreamed of turning the heat on. To keep warm at night we all slept in a cardboard box with a 40watt light bulb for heat.

A cardboard box! What luxury. We had. To sleep in gravel road in a hole. No wait that was Monty Python.

I got a warning. I thought it was my antivirus software but maybe it was firefox doing it. I ignored it because my antivirus usually overreacts.

It is a warning from Google and it is about the servers that host the pelican bbs and it was listed as a warning today.
