Not sure why, but I don't want this tradition to die. Definitely a love hate thing. Royce...if you bring Mezcal I'll shoot you like the toaster, but you better show up.
July 12th, 13th, and 14th.
Who's in?
So tequila it is, then!
I'm likely in (might have concert festival that weekend).

Been meaning to get back to one of these.
Probably not in the cards this year. Need to find a job first and foremost, so PTO will probably be limited. My mom is moving out of the old house (they bought it in 1972) and into a new fourplex. I'll need to help clean out the old place and move. That is scheduled to happen right around that same time.

So what I hear you saying is that if T had had *more* mezcal then she wouldn't be waking you up for breakfast. Got it. I'll bring two bottles this time.

I've seen all of the participants in dimby pretty drunk before, except for one of you. Last year, a few of you really got after it and turned it up to 11 [laugh]
It's been a while since I saw one of you drunk before I went to bed and still drunk after I got up in the morning.

That's some professional level dedication, and not for the faint of heart. I'm not ashamed to admit that I can't hang with that level of crazy anymore.

I haven't started it this year, it needs maintenance and, ideally, a set of tires. For the first time my tires have aged out vs worn out.
Ok maybe I'll do the oil and tires and bring it.
Is Dan riding with us?

DIMBY needs a rebrand with all the missing Ducs. YIMBY (Yokels)? FIMBY (Fabulists)? PIMBY (Pyromaniacs)?
Or maybe it stays DIMBY, but instead the D is for Drunks. ;)

You probably won't like the stretch on Rt 16. Otherwise it looks like a fun ride.

True. The alternative is to go back over the Chickville road, which would be fun squared. I just have to get over my issues with repeating a section of the route (intentionally.) Might be worth it. [Dolph]
We could do this instead....
https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZXkZmUeuQ4mnzqQT6
It would add about 30 minutes to the ride.
I have a brand new rear tire but the date code says it's from 2018.

We could stop at Buckeys for lunch? It's not exactly half way, but would break up the ride a bit? Or not...

NOAA says a chance with no percentage given. This time of year there's always a chance of a shower when it gets into the 80's.
Looks like we'll get wet, but not a rain-out.
I'm still not sure I can get a set of tires done by Wednesday. 50/50 on riding this year
We're out. [thumbsdown] [thumbsdown]

<--- Home safe, but no cooler than it was in NH :P
The few that came are gone. The lawn is mowed, and I'm already thinking about next year.
We had a great time. Kraken is evil, but not as evil as Royce's mezcal. I was a good boy this year.
Almost forgot. Hardy is a good boy!

Yeah, that mezcal was a bit of a 999. Not meant for ordinary riders.
Sorry I missed this year. Glad everyone seemed to have fun as usual.
Of note: if you ever get the chance to see you favorite band at the Sphere (in Vegas), go. Amazing venue. It is almost as fun as watching beans explode. Almost...

Watch the bean launch videos. Do it. Now.
Was that "Jump" playing in the background? Seems appropriate.
That first one launched farther than any in my DIMBY experience.
The first one was definitely one of the better launches we've have
The daytime launch was more satisfying, yet also less of a thrill.
Over the years, have we gained any institutional knowledge on launching it?
That is, is one side of the can better to put in the fire than the other? I note the first launch blew from the bottom (the rocket effect) but the second was the opposite with the top firing off and beans everywhere (the cannon effect).

It's all a guess. I aim the can and cross my fingers it's awesome. Both cans this year went bottom first into the fire.
