we have some very talented future doctors and dentists who will be graduating in 2007 (the class of 2007 hosts the convocation for the class of 2008).
Who cares how talented they are, what do they look like?
I could see you married to a Doc, being the kept man..... :D

Takes the bend(loop) out of the rear derailleur housing.
oh yeah, I can see that in the pic..........but I guess after riding for (BIG NUMBER HERE) years and never having a problem with the bend(loop) seems like a waste to me

Or you could get a SRAM derailleur, which renders that ridiculous thing obsolete... :p
And if it's so ridiculous, why did SRAM incorporate it into their derailleur design? Huh? Answer that one tough guy! ;)

I never had a problem with the bend until I installed new cables and housing and made the loop too small. Someone gave me a rollamajig to fix the problem. I will say that my shifts seem quicker, but take that for what it's worth given that my comparisons are to a worn out set of cables/housing and a new set with a too small loop. :D

Oh the class of 2008 is full of super pretty women - a large contingent of women too! :devil:

But they will all be stuck with those hefty student loans to payoff! :p

Mark, I work in a med school - take my advice - flirt with the neurosurgeons, the trauma docs, and the reconstructive specialists (they all become cosmetic surgeons). That's where the bucks are!

Hahaha.. My girlfriend is starting her masters degree next week in neuroscience, intending to go to med school next year. I've informed her that the year she pays off her student loans we will be taking a very expensive vacation, on her :p

(uhh, "on her" financially, not physically. Well, maybe physically. But mostly financially.)

(did I just say that out loud?)

Could you use PM's to yourself for this kind of stuff from now on...

I noticed that all the female teams wear the same (whattya call em?) suits/uniforms - whoever the company is that made those (Nike?) they should be given a gold medal.

Hey Binary, tell her to stick with the Neuroscience, and skip the med school. Got my doctorate in neuroscience without taking a single loan - they actually paid me to go to school! (acutally, you all paid me - govenment grants!)

Now I make the big bucks! Well, not really, but it's fun, interesting work.

yes we went to Napa the day before we met up with you.

We got back to NY yesterday at 5pm.

It's amazing flying over the country. The only placed that look "liveable" to me was right here where I live. Cali was way to dry for me....I felt like the whole state could burn down with one flick of a cig butt.

What's wrong with the Claras?

Does the new photo gallery give us more space to host our pics? I had to delete my Dalton pics to make room for new ones and that sucked - now my posts in that thread are pic-less. :(
Yeah, it does but I have filled that as well! DOUGH! :help:

I was out there in Jan once. It was far green on the windmill hills then the black hills I saw this time.
