    Those batteries have a good long life provided you keep them filled up and only use distilled water despite what anyone tells you.

    Went to harbor freight to buy a workstation with the 20%off coupon  and ended up walking out with it plus two open box deals that were 40% and 45% off, unusual.  Can't pass up that kinda deal!

    @PigBeanUs that experience is on the top end of the bucket list.  So much for self-debating.  Thanks for confirmation of all I have read about the evening. Now to get it done.  
    Edit:  great score on the last minute reservation.  Better to be lucky than good!  I will make the trip with a reservation in hand and the bank loan ready as well. BTW- Nomad bar and Gramercy Tavern are my "go-to" places.

    My wife had said that she always wanted to go to a Michelin-starred restaurant. So I said “how about three stars?”

    I called and told them I was having problems navigating the reservation site on my phone (not entirely untrue), and the hostess laughed and said to come along and they could accommodate two more. 

    They had just reopened fully fairly recently and were excited about having people back. 

    Each course had a fantastic wine paired with it. I came back to the table when they were serving the dover sole. The sommelier had already poured the wine and the waiter was saying how well the “cru” paired with the sauce. I asked “which cru???”

    he still had a mask on and said “I’m sorry. Not ‘cru’... it’s Krug”

    so. Yeah. Pretty good pairings. 

    Was supposed to be a once in a lifetime thing. My wife wants to make it annual. Zoinks. 

    Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

    I have several "sprits" related items on watch.  Martini glasses, etc.  I just enjoy the thrill of the chase.  My UPS guy hates me.

    When I was 14 or so I went from a huffy to a GT. I grabbed both brakes and went flying. Luckily just some road rash.

    If you end up in a right-hand drive country and buy/rent a bicycle there, the brakes are switched as you signal with your right hand.  The correct move.  Just a bit of down in the weeds survival info.   B)

    I've driven in England.  Had I ridden a bicycle, I wouldn't have lived 6 minutes.

    Heck, I almost bit the dust as a pedestrian.  I nearly stepped off the curb in front of a bus in Sidney.  Fortunately, my co-worker grabbed me.  I was looking left and the bus was coming from the right, with the engine in the back, I never heard it.

    Someone should really standardize that!

    I never realised thay you guys had bicycle brakes the wrong way round. Do you keep grabbing the clutch on your GS when you want to stop?

    Did you enjoy the roundabouts?

    I was nervous the first time I drove in Boston, anticipating it would be hell. 

    Thankfully, there was an intersection every block, and a light or stop sign. Heck. It was easy! This was reinforced by a visit a couple years later to NYC. Gridlock. Never got over 20mph. Grids slowed everything down. 

    So when my girlfriend and I went to London, and rented a car, I had no qualms. With all the intersections and stop lights, it wouldn’t ever get a chance to get out of hand. 

    Nope. 

    There were seventeen roundabouts before we were outside the city proper and headed out on the Vauxhall Bridge Road. We never stopped, and the speed never dropped below maybe 20-30mph (which was like 320-425 kmh).

    Even the fact that I grew up in New England, and knew how to navigate a rotary (or roundabout, to the poncey types) was of no use, because at the very first one I realized I had to enter it and go left, counterclockwise. 

    And then then there were sixteen more in quick succession. 

    I still have a knot in my back shoulder muscle to this day.

    Exactly why they should be standardized.  The roundabouts over there go right, clockwise!
