I gotta side with Alaskun on this one. While burning natural gas might be better that says nothing to the earth-ruining extraction methods, carbon footprint from the supply lines, ruining pristine lands with pipelines, not to mention the massive fucking leak in California. People are evacuated, kids having health problems, unknown environmental damage. Just because it's clean and easy at your house doesn't mean it's a clean fuel. Compare that to someone who owns their land, cuts and seasons their own lumber, replants lumber (which actually adds something), and warms their own home for free.
It's like fucking rain barrels in Colorado. They're illegal. The bullshit reason: The water belongs to everyone and you can't steal your neighbors water. Real reason: We want you to buy the water from us instead of collecting it for free.

28 in a month. Married. Have an apartment finally. Still ride every weekend. Decent job. Life is pretty pretty good.

You dudes that are my age and owning houses make me feel inadequate.

Southern California is one of the worst real estate markets in the country though.

32 years old.  About to get married this year and then travel around for a bit longer.  Trying to wait on having a family until I've gotten most of my wild oats sewn.

Not that this is exactly what G said, but I'd say it's a step in that direction thinking wise.

Here's the ramps we had in our house back in the day.  It's a whole part but there's a large chunk of footage from the ramps.

I always ran my bars at the same angle as my forks

Anything else feels horrible

Emergency room RN. It's stressful and crazy but I love it overall. I've traveled the country, made good money, and met my fiancé doing it so I definitely can't complain.

Parting the curtain a bit.. BPN was never really banned, at least not by an admin or sheep. He basically rage quit after he had a bunch of his bans overturned by a bunch of us. Like, he could ban someone and I could go remove it and if I'm not mistaken only sheep could see who did what. The problem was BPN was overly strict with the rules and also targeted people who tormented him. Those people happened to also be in TAH usually so he'd ban them, one of us would unban them and he'd get pissed. Someone banned BPN at one point, I can't remember who or for what but I think he called Sheep on the phone about it. I do remember witnessing the thread in the mod forum where sheep more or less refused to take sides in the feud and that made BPN quit.

Sounds about right G. In the future owning a car will be a thing of the past, you'll pay a monthly contract like a phone and get picked up as and when.

Can't see that happening here, at least not to replace the automobile completely. Car culture and driving is huge in America. I'd love to use that service but I could never go without a car.

I was inducted and asked to be a mod about a month after.  Not Danny Tanner was another dude that was in there I haven't heard from in forever.  I still talk to Zach (Nobody) from time to time.  Chris W aka SBB was in there and I still talk to and hang out with him on the regular.  Charlie Crumlish was up in there too.  I was in after meeting a bunch of them at Metro in Toronto one year. Frentsworth and I tried meeting up to blaze one in the parking garage but our ships passed in the night.

The quote in my signature is a Maurice Snail original that I found in my "Should he be in TAH" thread in the TAH forum.

edit: Also, back in the day there was a TAH forum and a separate mod forum.  Any mods that tried posting in the TAH forum who weren't TAH got ridiculed to no end.  I remember Bluebmx and BNP specifically getting lambasted.

Rumour is they spent to much money on they're clothing line.

How? It was a bunch of generic tees and hoodies being sold for at least 4x what it cost for them to buy.

They had tons of "street wear" stuff like jackets, jeans, polos, dress shirts, etc.
