EAMES LOUNGE

Weaseled my way into getting a 40% off voucher from a Herman Miller dealing friend blood relative (if Herman Miller asks...)

I can't decide if I'm going to get the classic or the newish "Tall" size though.



I'm 6'2 so the classic doesn't really give me any head support, but the Tall isn't really a true Eames...

Both Lowe's and Home Depot just recently had/are still having a sale on the red mulch. Five for $10 I believe at both places.
I should know, as my greenhouse needed the walkways covered with it. Still grows weeds.

Good to know. I think my local place's sale just ended today.


Edit: for shits and giggles I worked it out. I save fifteen bucks going to Home dept, gas included, for twenty bags, which is what my car can hold.

Because goons are just trying to stop you from having to waste money buying a whole 'nother bike once you start riding more than a few miles and eventually decide that you really do want drops after all so as to shift your hands and posture around for comfort.

You can't just swap in drops without having to replace a bunch of other poo poo, so it's usually just more cost effective to buy a whole new bike and start over from scratch.

I didn't go back to the thread because I figured it'd be dickish, but it's been 2/3 years since I made people mad about not wanting drops and the amount of times I wish I had alternative ways of gripping the handlebar, or bent over more, remains 0.0.

Drops aren't that comfortable to ride in, anyways. I commute a lot of miles on my bike and I ride in the drops when a) it's really windy, or b) I'm in a goddamned hurry.
So yeah - I don't blame anyone for not wanting drops.

Also I bought headlights for my Jeep.

It's not about riding in the drops, it's about riding on the hoods and having the option to move your hands around, but anyway this derail has gone on long enough, here's a drop bar road/gravel bike with 650b wheels, 42mm slick tires and a monoshock just to give you all loving aneurysms (I haven't bought it YET... but maybe soon?)

Managed to find a copy of The New Mastersounds "The Nashville Session" on vinyl. I like getting limited pressings and poo poo, but come on, do more than 1000... That just makes it a pain.

They're a jazz/funk fusion band from Leeds, UK. Good, funky, danceable poo poo.
