Things I Love

I had a three or four mile walk home with my bike once. Good times.peter4jc said:I've been going for bike rides lately, 2 or 3 times a week. Today, I wheeled my bike out of the garage and noticed the front tire was flat as a pancake (but only one side). You're saying to yourself, that should go in the Things I Hate thread...
As I was holding the inner tube under water to find the leak it dawned on me that the tube wasn't punctured while it sat in my garage; it obviously happened the last time I rode it. But I made it home w/o knowing about it, it could've happened 10mi from home, leaving me stranded. Ya gotta love that. And I have a shop 3min from home that had this weird-size tube so in less than an hour I was back in the saddle pedaling my way to Slimsville.
I have always used heavy duty tubes and still got flats constantly until someone told me about these plastic liners that go between the tire and the tube. I don't believe I've had a flat since.5 -
I always carried a small repair kit under the seat because I didn't ride 8 miles up the trail to walk back down.A little dirt never hurt1

The aroma of a freshly lit stick coupled with the woodsy scent of well-heeled single malt, all backed up by the earthy muskiness of a wet gun dog.I'm still troubled by what I did for that Klondike bar...5

The basswoods (or, Lindens, as they're also known in other parts) are in bloom right now and their perfume is filling the air outside for miles. My nostrils thank you, Lindens, for giving me something I love."I could've had a Mi Querida!" Nick Bardis0

I love when the grand daughter is asked whether she wants to go with grandma and grandpa or mommy and daddy and she says she wants to go with Amma and Ampa.
Grandparents rule, parents drool!!

Just cut $30 a month off my cable bill because I called and said I was going to switch to another company.4

Same here... upgraded my internet to a fiber-optic at a better speed, dropped two movie channels that sucked anyway, and brought it down from $155 to $120 for internet and TV. A month ago the promotion I was on for two years expired and they jacked it up to $230. Like you, I'm glad I called, and frankly, I'm surprised they came down as far as they did.CalvinAndHobo said:Just cut $30 a month off my cable bill because I called and said I was going to switch to another company."I could've had a Mi Querida!"

Yeah it never occurred to me to give it a shot since I already had the two year promotion rate. I read something that said if you call and threaten to switch to something else, then the company I use will try and match. I figured what the heck and called, now my internet is twice as fast (which I'm not going to notice since it's already meant for like 4 people to be using it at the same time), and the bill before taxes and fees is $110 instead of $140 per month for the next 2 years.peter4jc said:

I love how when you call a company and all their representatives are busy, they give you the option of a call-back rather than sit on hold for eons."I could've had a Mi Querida!" Nick Bardis1

vine ripened tomatoes. Just harvested a Black Krim and had a over-the-top-wonderful tomato sandwich.7

This the first year that we have no tomato plants. Tradition here is sliced tomatoes, salt, peper on good bread with Dukes mayonnaise. I am missing it so much.....silvermouse said:vine ripened tomatoes. Just harvested a Black Krim and had a over-the-top-wonderful tomato sandwich.0 -
Finishing a batch of homemade jam and this year's dandelion wine.
Now this is not the end of the cigar. It is not even the beginning of the end of the cigar. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning of the cigar.7
