    As we have discussed, I have a KLX250 which is in this category. Super fun versatile bike.

    When I was in a hurry auto shopping in July (car got totaled, roadtrip to mom's in 15 days...), most of the car dealers had the same thing: $3 or 4K less if you finance through them/their parent co.

    Unchained nailed the answer to why the T dealer here is poo. They think that we should worship and praise them. I'm still waiting for a call back from May...of 2024. The guy who owns the HD and Indian dealerships owns the T dealership too.

    What beer ya drinkin'?

    If I'm at home I pour beer into a pint glass because I prefer to off-gas beer a bit before drinking it. IMO the can or the bottle doesn't change the taste of the beer. I tend to buy in cans for several reasons, but mostly because the local brews are in cans.

    The Dog Thread

    Mostly cleaning, but he has some gum issues too. Its expensive, and I even though I know it's a really solid science, anesthesia makes me nervous (unless I'm getting a colonoscopy, then put me out!).

    Buddy is good! The vet told us that we should consider having some dental work done though.

    I know some people who have named their last three Lab mutts Odin. I haven't heard them call their dogs Odie, but other people do. The current Odin is a a Lab, Vizsla mix. The previous one was a Lab, Siberian Husky, and the first Odin was a Lab, Golden retriever.

    My Lab ran for at least an hour every day so she was ripped. I had several people with labs that were too heavy (as were they) tell me that I should feed her more. :rolleyes:
