+1. i dont think even Gill would have made such a dumb comment.

Tink told me when it was a good time he would let us know.

we're up at 2AM, the little pirate is up at 2AM, what's wrong w that?

Hey Spud was that you I saw on the Cap. Crescent Trail on Wed.

it was indeed, i called for you to stop and turned around but you kept booking...when are we having dinner?

seriously...
I'm up every morning from around 1 to 4am
A 2am mini pillage wouldn't actually be that horrible an idea

really though,
something in the evening...
something next week...
maybe a game of polo...
maybe a quick trip over to this local bar i know...

I'll let you know.

and peter,
you have no idea :)

why is your dad wearing nothing but a cape Dave?

i'm waiting for The Return of the Tink Pillage

Anybody want to go ride around for a while at about 2-ish? I'm putting a new BB on Noah and feel like I should probably ride for a while after that.

PM me, or meet at the Warehouse at 2:30.

so you just shoved a new Bottom Bracket in Noah and you are inviting us to join/watch you ride Noah this afternoon? The stuff I miss out on...

If you are still out there after 6ish or any one else would like a evening ride, PM call or write!

Must be a version 1 thing.

Noah's my bike. However if either of you two need to be ridden I suppose we could trade for parts or something...One Phil hub an hour sound reasonable?

I think you've got that backwards: You pay us for the privilege.

And hey, how 'bout that rain? Great!

yeah, soggy grilled cheese sucks

Not as much as 10 hours at your desk on a Sunday! Lets here it for the man.

Anybody actually going to Haines today? If not, does anyone want to ride later if the weather lets up?

i think i'm wussing out. if you head out later, call the smellphone.

hey deuce, you get that level wheel yet?

OK, doesn't look like the weather's gonna' improve today. Anybody that's up for a run out to Bethesda and back meet me at Sparky's at 2:30.

Edit: Ahhh screw it. I'm staying home.

slicing up eyeballs hahaha!

Huh?

re: Tink's door package, That is SOOOOO Awesome!

re: Rain, DAMN IT IS AMAZING, ESP IF YOU CAN SEE THIS FROM THRU MY SKYLIGHT

re: Pizza, Yes, Amy, Mike and Crit Mass kids pizza making at my place Monday night. So if anyone want to drop by, we'll be gathering around 7ish. I made a beer and sparks run recently, so fridge looks as what it suppose to look. Oh, and there is this football size papaya that is peaking!

I like how we have calling cards now. Left at the scene of a pillage, they announce our fearsome presence! Yarrr!

Hope it stays dry tonight for the quick pedal to/from Peter's...

would someone like bring a DVD to watch

yeah i can bring one

we got stencils and stickers too.

Thank you Peter for hosting us tonight. A wicked good time.

Crazy rain on the way out, nice and calm on my ride home at 11:00 PM.

Hey everybody,

So I have been out of the loop for quite a bit-- I checked the page and was pleased to see the updates about the addition of Tink's little Pirate!! Congrats Dave!

Oh one more thing, for you bikers and photographers out there--Check this out if you are interested:

WETA Radio’s (90.9-FM) interactive new program “The Intersection” gives its greater DC-based audience an opportunity to share opinions and connect with a community of listeners both on-air and online.

In the spirit of "The Intersection," WETA is launching an online photo-sharing group, available at http://www.flickr.com/groups/wetaintersection/, to help us explore the intersections in our community. Here's how it works: You submit your photos of the intersections that you observe through your camera lens, along with any comments you want to include through Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/groups/wetaintersection/). WETA will use the most captivating shots for a regular feature on "The Intersection" Web site (launching in July 2006). If WETA uses your photo, they’ll be sure to credit you with a link and a photo credit.

WETA welcomes all sizes and shapes of photographs into the collection, but if you are aiming for inclusion on the site, please provide a landscape (horizontal) oriented shot of at least 361 px wide. One last note... BE CREATIVE! Don't limit yourself to shots of streets and roads. While those are important in understanding the physical landscape of our community, WETA is more interested in the less-physical intersections in our world - ideas, lifestyles, concepts, people, classes, races, colors, artworks, modes, and anything else that contributes to the breadth of depth of our shared experience. Thanks for your help with this project!

It's always good to have the prodigal daughters/sons of the pirates return (and now I sound like I've been a Pirate for longer than one month). Will you be joining us for a little pedalling at some point?

thanks for the photography info.
ready for CM next friday?

mmm ... that leftover pizza was perfect for lunch today!

if you ordered a shirt and have not picked it up yet, please come to polo, Sherwood at 7:30. $8 each. rain or shine!

I have been working like a dog. The rain sucks. I have no time to ride. 80hrs a week. Dam the man. I am going to try and stop by Polo on my way home. 9ish. Much love till we sail again.

PS I am getting marred November 18th!

SPUD, any shirts we can buy off you? need one Med

re: Marred, we are ALL damaged goods.

Anyone up for riding out to the Mt. Vernon trail and catching the fireworks from across the river??

*raises hand*

DC Pirate shirts for sale? of course; but let me give the people who ordered, one last chance to claim theirs.

What exactly does that mean?

Noah is his bike. This has been covered already. BTW, What up Noah?

in other news
my basement flooded
ruined boxes of other boxes
soggy stuffed animals sat sulking
100 lbs logs of infested wet area rug
and the smell...

so i went riding in the rain
the hot torrential downpours
blinding and stinging my skin
deafening claps of thunder
who cares about a mudguard
it smelled fantastic...

he's looking at me now
beautiful brown eyes
these expressions are priceless
look at his little lips
he knows who I am
daddy loves you

i need new bar tape

/t27

Is it bad that I've been sitting here for 5 minutes trying to figure out what kind of Bottom Bracket that is? Also I think a sqare taper is more condusive to insertion in an ear. I mean, I don't want to start some kind of war here photons but you can't just slap whatever the **** parts you have laying around on Noah's head. It's just irresponsalbe, and somebody's gonna get hurt. I mean what if I was cranking up a hill and that BB slipped out, or worse yet down a hill, how would you feel then?

Tink I have some bar tape if you need it. It's silver.

although it's hard to tell, that bottom bracket is indeed square taper, and it's campy so you'll be fine. i was a little worried about the threading in noah's ear, but i just loctited the **** out of it.

tink, let us know if you need any goon power to help with the flooded basement (you didn't have carpet down there did you?)

and, lastly, hains point smells like poo.

love,
