Not yet. The State of Vermont approached us about legalizing some existing trails, and has subsequently been waffling magnificently.
Town suckered the local MTB club into building a bunch of trails at a local park, then have waffled about legalizing bike access there. Fools. Fuck'em I say. This is the lot that wants to pave a path around the world for MTB access, without a single rock root or challenge.

What do you use yours for? I have four of them connected to tvs here at work for slideshows. Have four more that I need to do something with...


And I just pooped again. Something isn't right.

Have done nothing useful yet. Might try to rig it as an environment data acquisition system for our greenhouse. Right now I'm struggling with trying to get it to synchronize time correctly.

Edited that per instructions, no love at this point. I have never gained competency in xnix.

As long as it takes to get to your LBS.

I know
Chile 10 days
Belgium 8 days
Australia 7 days
Canada - for fucking ever!!!

I think China or Taiwan Free China depends on the boat, air would be about 4 days.

I purchased some ebay AN fuel fittings from china last week. They apologized that there would be delays and not ship until monday, showed up on wednesday.

Ordered some other car stuff from texas 2 day priority on monday, still hasn't arrived.

Ok cool. It sounds like my frame will be on time then. LBS said two weeks.

2 day overseas shipping on a bike frame seems like it would be cost prohibitive. I have noted a lot of silly cheap stuff on ebay from China with thousands sold and good feedback. Even Walmart is feeling the pinch.

As somebody said yesterday this is why 3D printing is not taking off. We have China to do the 3D printing for us.

There is still a lot of shady mountain bike products for sale too where you have no way to judge the quality.

And the win would be because of the free cocoa, right? Not because the stoned, smelly, hairy hippy-girl took a shine to you?
Just so you know Hairy smelly hippy-girls always give great head. When was the last time you got free hot cocoa and the promise of mind blowing oral sex? I suspect it has been a while.....
