I'm recovering from my wifester's family reunion that we were hosting. I'm exhausted.
I finished up responding to the critiques of our paper, and now I'm getting started on some additional experiments to fill in the gaps. A good time will be had by all.

Does anyone remember Leisure-Suit Larry? I mean the original version? I only ever saw a later version, but I'm told the original was hilarious, as this guy could be made to do anything. Later versions were more conservative.
Oh yeah, those were some suh-weet graphics.
At least you have an excuse for the golf thing. I never played ball & don't have a decent swing. :o

It is the original? Episode One? 'Cause that one rocks. You have to type in what you want him to do, and he pretty much does it! Later versions limited his actions through icon choices. But that first version had a number of Easter eggs that were absolutely raunchy! :p
Hating the fact that today is a TDF rest day. Lazy bastages.

Vinokourov is alleged to have tested positive for blood transfusion before the time trial.

He probably needed some after leaving a bit on the road earlier. :p
Seriously, that is just so wrong.

It looks pretty serious. How dumb are these guys?

I was watching the TDF the other day. I swear I kept seeing the same scene over and over. Green guy in front, blue guy in front. Pedal, pedal, pedal. Blue guy in front, green guy in front. *yawn*

I think I just offered to ride with Velo Vol on the Tour de Tuck (http://www.tourdetuck.com/)century in Sept. :( Any others interested? Misery loves company. Come on, we can't let SoCal have all the fun can we?
Heh, I know you're not lookin' at me. Don't even think it. :mad:
heh. don't even look at me either:eek:. when is that durn thing? is it near the end of september, like maybe the weekend before our fall ride (if we do that date) <hopeful WP look>. maybe it'll wear you guys out some and you won't be climbing too fast for that BF ride.
*edit* it is the week before the SE BF Fall ride first choice date.

When EVERYONE is doping, it makes it hard not to.
I am clean. Well, I would test positve for burritos and beer.

I'll talk with you about it a little later today. Right track, but I think we can improve upon it. Gonna send you a link that you should explore.
For now, I really need to get out the door and take care of a few errands....

My adrenaline and dopamine levels are unusually high, but that's just 'cause I've been in love for the past three days (weeks? months?) straight.:love:
I could probably win a stage or two at this point. I certainly feel like I'm "King Of The Mountain".:D
Okay, I'll stop now. My love life is no big deal to anyone but me and her.;)
(but I wanted to share anyway):rolleyes:

OH MAN! I just went to take a pic of the Moots leaned against my car and had it all centered. As soon as I snapped it, I noticed the results were off centered. I looked up in time to see the bike ROLLING!! I did a dive and saved not only my bike but didn't even drop my camera. Now I'm off to the shower clean the fresh driveway rash on my knee, thigh and hip. :(
But I saved the bike. :D
Here's a retake but with a rock in front of the tire.

Post pics of the knee carnage please.
OMG UPS MAN JUST PULLED UP.
I was about to get in my tank of a ford and chase down any ups trucks within sight. :rolleyes:
Sonofa.... I just realized something. This shifter housing isn't going to work. It's wider than my old ones, shifter housing is supposed to be less wide and this is as wide as the brake housings. It won't fit into my shifter. Uggg.

Hey Siu, for all the money you spent on the Moots you should have got some zippier wheels (or at least some with a lower spoke count).

There's nothing wrong with Open Pro's. Plus with 32 spokes if you break one your ride isn't necessarily over.

I convinced my roommate to give cycling a try. I'm building up the Torpado for her right now.:)
Back from the beach. That was freaking fantastic! The clouds went away, and it turned into a really nice day. The water at the beach I go to stays shallow for a long ways out. I was in about shoulder-deep water when this fog rolls in. I can barely make out the outline of the beach and trees on shore. I swim out a bit further and can't see the shore, or the bottom of the water now. Completely surrounded by fog swimming in Lake Superior...gotta love it! :) That made my day.
Gotta run back home now and find some dinner before the group ride tonight. See ya later folks.
I just found out that one of the Physics Professors that works in my department along with his wife were killed while in California. Apparently, they were hit by a speeding motorist. He was a very nice man. He was one of the men who gave me the job here in the labs. Jeez, I can't believe it.

Ms. Gio, so sorry to hear that. Such news is always a shock, and I'm sure this is a loss not only to family and friends, but to the department as well. ((hugs)) PM if you need an ear....

Sorry to hear of this. Its always a shock when something like this happens. Its even worse when its someone you know.
Sorry to hear the bad new Gio. Do not know what else to say.
Thanks guys for the support. I have a feeling that this years picnic is going to be a quiet one for he used to enjoy coming to it and meeting the new undergrad and grad Physics students.
