It's called being efficient!!! Besides, I needed the magic eraser to get rid of the glue residue from the warning stickers I pulled off my helmet.
Come on? You can’t go to the store for Qtips and Mr Clean erasers? I get helmets and bike stuff online but Qtips?!?! You crack me up.
It just frees up more time to spend with you.

Helmets are like shoes and clothing. You really need to try them on to be sure they fit properly.....

I'm a medium in Shoei. I've gone through quite a few but I agree lol. Any protective gear needs to be tried on - unless you know the brand and sizing. What fucks me up is most motorcycle gear is in euro sizes.

But I definitely don't do that for clothes or shoes. I know my sizes and it's not as pertinent as protective gear. Constantly ordering shirts from NYC actually and sneakers from all over the place.

I'm waiting for surgery to correct stones in my bladder. I always knew I had big stones but now have the proof. Waiting more than a year as Covid has kept the hospitals busy. Now this is getting frustrating as nightly get ups far too frequent and any activity too strenuous causes dire results.

That's the worst kind of waiting. Sucks when your health is endangered and you have to wait for treatment.

Since my house must have been wired by a color blind electrician, I need a pro to come look at some switches. But for some reason every professional plumber and electrician this area is buried in work. Can't even get calls returned.

I could take a look at it for you. I don't know shit about electricity but I'm not color blind.

The first time, about 30 years ago, it took 3 days of being within a few steps of a porcelain throne

I'm waiting on the city to pave all the streets they milled weeks ago. They just keep milling more It's so bad, I can't even take an alternate route to get me to the damn highway in the morning because they milled that too. Dodging the sewers and manhole covers so I don't get a blow out is brutal, not to mention kicking up all that mess. And then of course, there is always some yahoo in a raised pick up getting pissed because I'm going to slow for him.

Currently waiting on the rest of the parts to my lightly used 2NH brake package from a CS. The plan was to sell them to one of my customers after they were properly cleaned, buffed, and requisite small scratches touched up with VHT caliper paint, but it's taking so long to get the rest of the kit that I may have lost the sale (hopefully not). I'll post a pic when I do the rotors up right. I'm going to paint inside the vanes and holes with high-temp paint. It won't last forever, but without tracking it lasts a few years for sure, and keeps a lot of the rust (and orange) away.

Waiting for my new Roomba to finish mapping the floor so I can enter the no-vac zones. Otherwise this thing isn't going t work in our house. Too many nooks and crannies and other impediments.

waiting on electronics to get back to the normal prices and availability. I want to build a sim rig setup for gran turismo. cockpits are out of stock, wheels are on a delay, Playstations can't be found at msrp.

also the car market. while everything has bumped up a bit, certain cars like the e92 have pumped up to an unreasonable level.

It is. I currently have some health complications and I’m now waiting for a date for surgery.

Equal justice. It seems there are different rules. It depends on who you know. If you have friends in high places you get a pass.
