Absolutely done with @rbfcu. They canceled my primary credit card BEFORE the replacement card arrived. Autopays now failing. Wife traveling with no alternative card. Lost hundreds of rewards dollars on the deactivated card. And worst, no one seems to want (or able) to help.

Headed to Houston & had a work truck on our ass for a couple miles. We were going 83mph on I-10 with cars in front of us & beside us. Turned out to be a @ZachryCorp company truck. When we were able to move over he passed with his middle finger up. Nice look Zachary!

Tapping out

After a week on the trails I’ve returned home. The route was kicking my butt and I found my heart just wasn’t in the ride. The decision was difficult and emotional and warrants a more thorough examination at some future point. For now, thou… https://t.co/hQdbQ0y2SK

Recalculating...

Day 1 went significantly off script. Constant rain, some snow, near freezing temps and no changes forecasted for the next 10 days. We drove south in search of better weather and ended up all the way in Missoula, MT where we'll start ou… https://t.co/mbDpMapTqM

Even in the beginning you know that it's a matter of "when". Abstract and distant and easily ignored. But then suddenly it's not distant at all. It's real. And finite. And it's so impossibly close. You try to make the most of every borrowed day, hoping f… https://t.co/O9h4U4Nao7

@DIRECTVNowHelp This support experience is pretty much a disaster. Roughly equivalent to sending messages attached to the legs of carrier pigeons. Is there another way to get support besides twitter?

@DIRECTVNowHelp Started my subscription about a week ago but most content still tells me "Subscription Required". I'm logged in and can see account details. What gives?
