I must have been the unlucky one. Found out at an early age that open toes and bikes don't mix well for me.

He is still limited to our (long & wide) driveway at 4 years old. But I have plans to ride Route 66 with him. I'm an All The Gear, All The Time rider. Just sold 2 of my bikes. But I'm not giving up and I'm teaching him.

Um, through the combustion process, gasoline is converted to energy. So, he would be burning off energy.

His energy...and ya.

Old school to new school. Like irons to optics. It's a skill set.

What's a "strange tv"?

He’s been a regular here for many years, pretty likable for a millrat living in the sticks @tv1217

Kouts is not in the sticks!

They have a grocery, Cafe, laundromat, gas station, bank and a concrete company.

That's as modern as any town needs to be.

I just pulled a picture up. They finally finished the gas station (Gallops) They have been working on it close to 10 years?? It has been a while since I was down there. I used to pass through every day for work.

The other long term gas station construction is the one in Walkerton. I think they have been working on that one just as long.

Not quite lol. When I moved here 4 years ago it was some fenced in unutilized property. I know at that time there was wishful thinking that they ought to clear it out and turn it into our second gas station but nothing was actually being done. It wasn't until maybe two years ago the fence came down and then over the last year they started clearing it out and building. The building went up pretty quick and then it was several months before it finally opened. People on Facebook frequently call it "The Gastle". It's better than Family Express to be honest. The only negative I can say about it is that the layout is kinda stupid. The actual building is almost dead center of the lot with a tight pump area in the front and a parking area in the rear that nobody except the employees really use. The holes to refill the tanks are also between the front parking spots and the pumps so the tanker has to pull in parallel to the building between the pumps and parking spots at the front. If you're getting gas at a couple of the pumps you'd have to back out and if you happened to be parked in one of the front spots, you'd be blocked in until the tanker leaves(which itself now probably has to back out onto 49 a bit to leave)

Only the 254th time these ramps have been closed for concrete work in the last 3 years.

They built a new gas station down the street from my work. Start to finish was under 4 months. It's a good sized gas station, comparable to a Lukes
