Nice to hear you had fun boarding, Stosh! No skiing for us this weekend. It'll be the 2nd weekend since November that we don't ski. :(

Tomorrow will be lots of running around to get done and Sunday we're having a small Super Bowl party.

I was wondering when you would show up!!!

Morning Stosh... Glad you had a good time last night!

yesterday I had a catastrophic failure of my T-shirt Dryer and I have about 3 orders for shirts that still need to be filled... that sucks... but on a good note...

HERE WE GO STEELERS!!! HERE WE GO!!!

forgot to mention, Manhattanprjkt, and I are going to go for a SUPERSUNDAY ride out at one of the best new riding areas in the greater Pittsburgh area.

Good morning - built the Reign last night, and at first spin on the street, I think I did better getting the bigger frame. I am shorter than I thought I was, but I'll live. It's nice having a brown bike like Wumpus. I'll bet he loves it. :D

I got all my dad's old records. From original Beatles records to johnny cash I really scored!

I also got his old record player, the most important part to owning a record collection.

Morning! I can relate Heidi, except my poor sleep has been baby related. Nothing planned for the weekend, but I'm sure I'll find someplace to watch the Superbowl on Sunday. Go Steelers!!! On a positive note, the owner of my LBS just called said told me that a DH teammate of mine just dropped off a brand new Magura Louise brake (lever, caliper, hose and rotor) for me that I can have for free!! He won it at a race last year and has no need for it. Looks like the Steelhead will have both F&R brakes afterall. Sweet!!! :)

Mornin' all. I was able to kind of get in a ride, it was too muddy in a lot of spots so I wasn't out long. I'm kinda bummed it rained yesterday too, things were actually drying out a little. Anyways I had an absurdly weird dream and its time for some breakfast...two huge pieces of toasted pumpernickel bread with cream cheese.

I like risers for the width and the sweep is easier on my wrists. I don't like the "rise" and usually turn the stem upside down.

Nope, I got home late last night. It isn't icy out today I don't think...I might ride it to work. I need to adjust it to fit me still though. So many bikes...need more time.

It has rained a good bit here, hooples, but I will likely see about a ride down in Austin. I just learned that they got less than .25", where we got over 2". I'll let Wumpus say how much Waco got. This thing is slack and is gonna rock on the downs. :think:

*I am a machine and can climb on anything, so slack is cool. :rolleyes:

is that a boot, or the one they released after they broke up?

i've got audio portion of the Live @ Camden vid if you want that (i've also got the warehouse demos/outtakes).

antimony, congrats on yr interview. good luck!

had a good, tough spin class last night. by accident i found out my HRM does calculate average heart rate, so i don't have to guess anymore.
