[QUOTE=DaveinWimberley;9360036]HOLY MOLEY.
I found out how terrible addiction can be!
I virtually seized out, almost without stopping, and just when the end was near, the SPF magically reappeared.
Praise the Lord, and pass the whiskey!
Oh well, back to watching the last three episodes of "Colony" on Netflix.
And when the hell is Season Three of "Love Death + Robots" coming out!!!!
Season Two was nothing but a nibble, hopefully because of the pandemic.

And have you ever seen the number of postings of other SPFs from cities of roughly comparable sizes to Austin? (This does not include cities such as Phoenix, San Jose, and San Antonio, which have no real needs for SPFs.)

Bicycles are one of the other nerdy things I'm into other than skyscrapers. I like collecting them and restoring them.

I bought this bike last year - a 1987 Diamondback Ascent. I only got around to working on it this summer. It needed the rims trued since they were bent. I also pulled the axles out of the hubs and soaked them in some degreaser since the axles were nearly seized. I did the same for the cassette (the gear wheel the chain goes around on the back wheel). And I cleaned the chain and oiled it. Once the parts were done soaking, I rinsed them and let them dry and then put them back together and oiled the cassette. So it should be good for another 30+ years. The first time out on it, and I carried 70 pounds of groceries home on the cargo rack and in my backpack.

You can't do that on SSP. It's old school. Try out the Flickr app. It's free and is user friendly.

Talk about GOOD NEWS!
Tim Millar also teased season 3 there saying: “We’ve got volume 3 coming out, very soon” adding “I could not be more excited about the stories we have there. There’s some big surprises for everybody. One of which you already know which is another installment of those three crazy robots.”
Millar confirms that John Scalzi will be involved in the second episode. It’s unclear whether Philipp Gelatt will also return to write. This also implies that Josh Brener, Gary Anthony Williams and Chris Parnell will return to voice K-VRC, XBOT 4000 and The Cat.

I can't wait. But the bar has already been set quite high for incoherent ramblings.

Well, you gotta have something to do while you're waiting for the concrete trucks to appear for their weekly midnight concrete pours at 6 X Guad
Haven't missed one, yet.

Man, I was off for nearly a week and it seems like I missed some excitement across a few threads.
