So this is weird. My wife has had four phone calls this morning asking about fake IDs. I search her number and low and behold, her phone number is listed as a contact for fake IDs. So either my wife is a burgeoning criminal mastermind (not likely) or I don't know what. The hosting according to whois.net shows a company in the UK.

This should be fun.

What's the number? I could use a fake ID...

Edit: I've never said anything publicly about Viggen other than standard ribbing and/or hoping he gets help in his recovery. He has escalated things via PM, and yeah, I've tweaked him there, but come on... it's so easy... as he says -- low hanging fruit, and all. :)

In other news, my two eBay Chinesium HUDs came today -- super fast and super cheap. I won't be able to install them until early next week, but for $10 each? Hella buy. For the normal price of about $40 each? Still a really good buy. They come with a translucent reflective sheet for the windshield and a sticky thing for the dash, along with a flat cable for easy routing from the OBDII port to the HUD unit.

Take pictures please! I saw those things months ago but never found any in-use pictures.

Crappy picture of a temporary installation, but here it is with the translucent sheet taped to the windshield with both front and back protective coverings still on:


I tried to take a quick video, but the camera couldn't focus on the reflected image. It is nice and clear and bright, though. Perhaps a bit too bright for nighttime, I'll have to see.

Both the adhesive pad that is provided for the unit to sit on and the translucent reflective sheet are way too big for this unit. Once I get it in place and see what works, I think I'll be able to cut the size of the windshield sheet by at least two-thirds... It should be very unobtrusive.

It's something that I'll play with, but I don't see making it a permanent installation.

One note: You can change the speed display to MPH, but the fuel consumption remains shown as liters/100km. Who uses crazy weirdo units like that???

It took a lot of meetings, cutting ties with enablers, therapy, and eradication of stressors to get to where I'm at now. Life has dealt me a lovely hand and liquor has been my coping mechanism.

I thought I was on my way to alcoholism with 2-4 beers most evenings... then I was in a camping situation with no alcohol at all and was kinda disappointed that I had no desire for booze... but that takes it to a level far past my binge-iest.

Since I started riding bikes, I've been drinking a lot less and sleep better. Maybe try going outside and getting some exercise?

Sleep better, yes. Drinking a beer or two after a hard ride is incomparable, though.

Unfortunately, it's getting colder here and I got my cross bike out for the first time in six months and really felt what a difference 35mm tires make on a climb. That is not a good difference.

But the beer still tasted fantastic.

Anytime someone mentions moving to Cleveland this needs to be posted.

NE Ohio is a miserable place to live. The lake is wrecks the weather for 6 months out of the year. Much more snow, much more cloudy, much more salt on the roads. Trashes everything and makes for a very ugly place to live. Plus, the exodus of manufacturing and other jobs have made it an even more depressed wasteland.
