Good morning Bluesky fam and friends!

Do I have any moots that are native American Indian or any native Indian culture by chance? I have a question I'd like to ask in private, as I am not sure how to word it/phrase it w/o possibly receiving a flood of unwanted opinions and 'hot takes'. Cheers!

I feel this- like I'm often just eating it then crashing at 8 or so! Not the healthiest thing to do, but the working world won't let me have a healthy work-life balance it seems.

Having only ever gone for work trips, the city is amazing! I long to go for pleasure sometime and spend real time just biking about and experiencing more of it in my own time.

It would only take about 350 trips to haul that big rig broken down into easy 50 lbs loads.

Probably million of trips even loaded to equal the same road damage. Correct me if Iโ€™m wrong but this does not show linear road wear. Math isnโ€™t my thingโ€ฆ

Very costly, yea - it's a flexible light-emiting conduit that takes the light from one (or two) laser diodes and retracts it out the thin conduits exterior.

You know what is loud living near a busy road. Yet no journalists writes a think piece and corners an alder into making a statement on it.

Do you have a dive bar, gay bar, freaky yoga studio, burlesque establishment, or otherwise appropriate venue for these? Wanna put some there for me? Text your name, address, and venue to the OG Squid Facts Hotline 9-RUNG-SQUID, & I'll mail 'em to you. I'll delete this when I hit my mailing limit.

Sarah holds up the eel facts advent calendars among some potted plants. The calendars have 24 scratch off areas that are numbered. The eels are american eels, garden eels, european eels, moray eels, and ribbon eels.

Getting advent calendars early helps me a ton because I am one lady over here at Skype A Scientist HQ & the more I can ship earlier in the year the less overwhelming November will be (I'll be in Japan most of October for a squid conference!)

(+ USPS cost goes up in Nov!)

@sundance.bikesky.social I know your land speeder is p.much wrapped up, but @realtime.crt.video turned me onto this epic looking EL'esque wire for DIY stuff that needs cool blinkin' lights!

NGL, from my perspective it's quite a nice upgrade, depending on your riding type, ofc. I have 4" F+R on the Envoy and 4.5" onto the Orox and they're so cushy and great from roughest gravely and crappy pavement. Not to mention phenomenal in snow!

I really do need to trial sand soon!

A view of small creek flowing through the woods. The creek is shallow with swift currents. Across the creek, there is a concrete wall for a highway.

I am glad that I had some time for cycling this evening ๐Ÿ˜Š
There is a trail across the creek that I often walk while fishing ๐Ÿ˜„
I will wear wading shoes next time I bike ๐Ÿ˜‰

Day 4 really was the first day of nice riding after the hot, humid miserable exhaustion of the first 3 days.

Eyyy, nice! We still need to trial ours on the wet beach sands sometime - likely when the beaches calm down more towards cooler weather.
