Good morning stosh.
Busy weekend. Went to my girlfriend's brother's high school graduation & subsequent party on Saturday, went to a wedding Sunday (which was fun), but had Monday off so I did get one day of rest in there.
Got my new computer up and running
- this is my first new computer in 10 years; I've always had hand-me-downs. It's screaming fast, too. I tried to spec something middle of the line that allowed for future expandability. 64 bit AMD processor (maybe a new dual-core processor in the future 
neaky: ), 1gb RAM, 256mb GeForce video card, 160gb SATA drive...

Not much to report on today... they finally started the brick on our house. I guess that's the only thing even remotely newsworthly from out here.

Good f'n morning. Got a lot to do myself.
Morning. My rear der and chain ate some spokes in the rear wheel last night. Good ride otherwise.
'Morning! I started initial preparations last night for the 24 hour race this weekend....went over the bikes, got my list together, and made a to-do list. It's good to be organized.
I had a hockey game last night. We lost 5-4 to the team we smoked the other night...dammit. They were obviously missing a couple of key players that first game because they were MUCH better last night. I had two goals and an assist.

...from here.SkaredShtles said:<snip>I have a little gateway server as my "desktop" with a dual U160 SCSI controller. I have 6 disks in it right now. An 18GB, 4-9GB, and a 36GB. I will start slowly replacing the 9s with 36s as I get 'em.
Nice thing about SCSI is that I can attach 16 devices to each channel. (Not that I'd ever have the money or power to attach that many)
Bite me
Probably. I've been meaning to head down sometime and check to see if the River trail is still going, or if it got washed away this spring.stosh said:
Mornin stosh,
not too much going on here. got down to my LBS to check out that front disc situation.. after a while and a few phone calss i was able to get a part number for a special adapter I need to run the discs properly... it figures the nice guy told me...that year/model fork is one of the most difficult set ups and a different adapter is used for each type of disc brake you run... he assured me this one would work great so i ordered 3. Other than that, not too much.. probably gonna go into Manhattan to ride today and get some miles in.
So did you g/f win ??

Well, this machine only cost me $500, so it wasn't exactly a fortune. Besides, the point was about being a dork, not about how much money was spent - I think even knowing what a U160 SCSI controller is, let alone how many devices you can daisy chain together, qualifies youSkaredShtles said:
Besides... you know you're just jealous. Don't hate me because my computer is beautiful.
Good morning and happy 1st day of summer.

Ah....I would like to defer that question to council as the answer could possibly incriminate me.MtnBikerChk said:
Or,
A much burnt out working stiff/student with 3 boys starting high school.
Or,
A washed up guitar player burnt out from touring and recording last spring summer and fall
Or,
Someone who spent 2 grand on a monster guitar and love to play her.
Or,
Just some dope whos been gone a while.

And still work to be done a year later?

I've been pumping CAD (Microstation) since December for a large cigarette manufacturer in the Richmond VA area. Contract, but it helps the wide with the bills.
yep - brick work on the front of the house, the chimney, the fireplace, the yard, some basic landscaping, then a few little things that still need to be tied up.N8 said:And still work to be done a year later?
Morning - rode the Ted Wojcik around a bit last night - love the way that bike fits! Stopped over to say Hi to MBC, IAB, Jewell and their cats. They surprised me with an early birthday present - a nice new RM Jersey!!!!
IAB and MBC rock!!!
Busy day at work and then I'm going over to a fellow Monkey's place this evening for some frame exchange/bike tuning work etc. etc. Should be an interesting night when all is said and done.

Ummmm...... I've never disputed that fact that I may be a dork. In fact, I think it's quite likely.

It doesn't have SCSI, so no jealousy.
Morning! Late night was quiet, just chilled and watched Hell's Kitchen. 
Had dentist appt. this morning and got an A+ from the Doc. Today, I'm headed down to the LBS to pick up some supplies for the race this weekend. Lube, tubes, etc... After that, gotta mow the lawn and do some more painting around the house. Hope to get a ride in this afternoon as well! Have a good day all!

Sup monkeys. Went to visit Dad last night, since I was travelling back from MBW on the "real" Father's Day.
Hoping T-blazer will have some good news for me from Yeti, otherwise I'm really gonna be suffering at Dalton

Rode around the local park last night with my 8 year old sister. It was fun enough, but my rear brake still can't stop worth a damn. I think I either need to bleed it, get new pads, or just get a new brake (I have an HFX-9). Now I am sitting here at work, and it is going to be a scorcher today. Overall I am not doing too poorly.

Bland little afternoon and evening yesterday. Tried to go for a ride after work. The temps were just unbelievably mellow yesterday. Things were going well until I snapped a chain 20 minutes into the ride. Luckily, I was at a part of the trail that came near the parking lot, so I hoofed it out and went home. The dog was definatley disappointed---brough me his tennis ball about 200 times afterward for a game of catch. Funny dog. Did a lot of laundry, grilled some hamburgers, and chilled on the couch until beddy-by time. Fast forward to today, and here we are.neaky:

I'll take 85% of the performance for 1/2 the price, thank youSkaredShtles said:It doesn't have SCSI, so no jealousy.
Not to mention the theoretical limits of SATA are much, much higher...
