A Llama interrupted a local training race this weekend. Kinda funny.

The rain cover is stellar (for rain/staying warmer since cold air isn't venting right in/and aero for race-times)
There are a bunch of options for padded inserts to keep you east coasters warm, they seem pretty good -
Fit: they all fit long/narrow oval - the retention system is "all around", not just "tighten the helmet front-to-back", quite helpful if you have a narrow head and your helmet is always shifting to one side or the other.
Sunglasses - they won't fit in most Lazer helmets - some of the new ones yes, but most, no.

I have a head like a basketball (ie round), and because of this I have had all sorts of trouble finding a helmet that fits (ie has enough space back to front without being too tight side to side). Right now I am using a Lazer Sphere, and it is the best fitting helmet I have ever worn. Interesting that they also fit a narrow head shape well.

you're not quitting a job because you can post on a racing forum while not racing, and posting only about twice a year?

I'm actually accepting a job offer in an hour, the one I posted about last week. I think my title is going to be Chief Awesome Officer, or at least I hope so because that's what I put on the cards I ordered.

I'm being treated to a steak tomorrow.
I'd rather be treated to another raise and a more private office so I can do this pantless without fear of someone popping in.

* that makes my head sound small, when in fact I'm an XL/XXL helmet guy. Head shaped somewhat like this guy.

Yeah, but like my nana always said:
"Keep a dead frog on your lap. They'll be so concerned with the frog they won't notice you don't have pants on."
Yeah ... I think she was suffering dementia at the time. I say, suffering. I think the crazy old bat actually enjoyed it.

Last month was my 17th anniversary at the job. They have monthly meetings where they acknowledge birthdays and anniversaries and they give a token $50 gift card. The dude called my name and I walked up to him to get my card and he shook my hand and said they had stopped the gift cards as of then.
I walked back to where I had been standing in a pathetic fit of laughter. I couldn't contain myself at the absurdity of the situation.
