Late to this..I brought home the wheel donor bike today.
Obviously, Tunturi spent money on the wheelset, because the rest of the bike leaves much to be desired.
You are correct. First two wheel Tuntari I'd ever seen, too.
Their first ‘exercise’ bikes were road bikes with a ‘different’ front end, my auntie had one that she got second hand, it was billed as a ‘race trainer’ and not an exercise bike
Cool. There's a Christmas light parade in the subdivision north of me this evening. Mostly decorated cars and pickups but I somehow managed to plaster 60 feet of lights onto the Ural for the event. Last year it was well below freezing. We'll be lucky if it doesn't rain tonight.
I don’t really do chrimble, not just because I’m an atheist, a very lapsed catholic, but can’t be doing with the fakery and commercialism. Always up for a bit of fun for charity though!
There used to be no worse feeling than dropping the kids off at school, the 10 minutes later you realised you were still listening to "wheels on the bus go round and round" all alone in the car.
I left the Lutheran church decades ago. I'm still up for helping out others, tho.
Im under orders to stop being a grumpy old so and so and join in, so I am trying. Normally its sulking if the tree goes up before Christmas eve and isnt down on the twelth night, then downhill all the way from there. This year I am just going to enjoy it in case its my last! I can sulk when Im dead and gone. But I agree the commercialism. is very sad. And,it sounds like communism and thats bad. Ends in ism doesnt it.
You know they paid some interior designer an obscene amount of money for that view and to pick out those light shades/fittings ?
It's probably so the "jumpers" who see their New Year pay terms don't damage it.
Im very glad the Docs visit was OK and hope it stays that way. You can have may be just a little turkey?Driving home from Mrs. Cheest's doctor appointment today, which went well btw, she exclaimed that she will NOT host Christmas for her family this year. I did a silent fist pull back and a "Yessss!" I don't dislike her family, I just like them farther away.
We don't host Christmas for my family because they are scattered all over the US. Her sisters are less than 90 minutes away. Mrs.Cheest and her youngest sister would switch off, while her middle sister always had an excuse not to host. The youngest and her other half decided that if the middle sister wouldn't host one, they weren't anymore either. Mrs.Cheest always looks for the best in people, especially her family, and always has excused her one sister. I was one that bitched about her sister, too, but it fell on deaf ears. I think the Big C has caused her to take off the rose colored glasses and really see her middle sister for who she is.
.
I also don't have to carve a turkey, now, either.
Give me a ham instead of turkey any day. Our oldest and her family come from Maine every other year for Christmas and we host everyone then. Our oldest has quite a fan club.
Aye its no fun, but worth giving a go at least once. I shall be keeping everything crossed for you both. Definitiely a good excuse for a bit of excess enjoyment this year!
