@northsouthdenimguy i get you on this one.

moral of the story: when you have the right of way - TAKE IT. they exist for a reason, and its usually so that everyone is operating on the same assumptions on who to prioritize. When you give it up, you risk generating an crash by disrupting the flow.

fixed it for you. Having said that, I am happy to be proven wrong, but the burden of proof is on the other party

[goosehd]

@Tago-Mago you win!!

[WhiskeySandwich]

@goosehd I usually assume I am invisible on the road, yet I try to be predictable and communicate intent with plenty of lead time. Always maintain a plan of evasion though.

@goosehd or be faster than everyone else..

Today I took empty wine bottles to the recycling bin and now I have a backache. But I can't drink less either. Getting old sucks.

[northsouthdenimguy]

What’s the deal with people putting their phone on speaker at full volume in public or watching YouTube videos out loud with no earbuds? Are people really that ignorant of personal space and the fact that nobody else wants to hear their conversation with their baby mama or whatever they’re doing?

@northsouthdenimguy It's the new way to get attention, normal days you both would've passed each other like nothing but "Chad" needs to be seen knowing somebody. The new performative society

@GoodtimeJohnny

Although, to be honest, I’ll take this over the Nextel two-way radio days when everyone talked like long-haul truckers with all the “10-4” radio lingo blasting at full volume.

Maybe drinking more would cure the backache, at least until the next recycling day.

[endo]

I like your idea, @ARNC You'll help me on Saturday, okay?

[goosehd]

@endo drinking or moving stuff?

I wouldn't bother a good friend with such nonsense.

[ARNC]

@endo I’ll see what I can do

[derek111]

I am gonna be that guy and complain about the weather. I should be camping, mountain biking and golfing by now. Yet we get this spring nonsense. Serves me right for taking my winter tires off last Friday.

[GoodtimeJohnny]

@derek111 I mean you COULD do those things….. they just may be harder to do!

[goosehd]

@derek111 Good ol’ Canadian Spring…15 false starts and to top it off snow in October. You know better than to take the snow tires off…

Neighbour did the same on a Friday two weeks ago and snowstorm on Monday.

@goosehd man I’d love some good ole weather of any sort here in Colorado, though I do appreciate these unseasonably warm recent days.

[derek111]

@goosehd I will likely need to go on local news this evening and apologize to my fellow citizens such a rookie mistake.
