Okay, I disappear for a weekend, and I come back to find VegaVixen has changed her avatar (again), Song of Siu-renity has changed her avatar (again), and Pheard has been given a time-out. And to top it off, I found out this weekend that my all-time favorite sushi bar that I was braggin' on to VV just last week is no more.:cry:
I have enough cr*p going on in my life to be able to handle all this, too. Can everyone and everthing please just stay precisely the same for a little while so I can get my bearings back? Thanks.

Well, I think I actually changed my avatar twice, including the change this afternoon! :eek: I figured the present one was a great improvement over my own image!
Sorry about restaurant. ((hugs)) Find another good sushi place, or I'm not coming by for dinner. ;)

Sorry bro, I hate to break it to you, but I just pwned Lance at a 1mm TT. he didn't even have a chance...
then we have a few other major changes....expect to find them all over the place. I think we now have a teenage zombie cheerleading squad or something as well.

I stayed the same - I think it is inertia from being so old. Ah, to be young and foolish again. I have been provoking people with tropical pictures though... I think it is time for another one. :D This is a bridge someone actually thought I should try to cross with a Montero once! I was going to just ford the river, but I noticed tracks entering the river - and not coming out the other side...

But for your benefit, my name and avatar remains unchanged.

no way that bridge would support 2 tons of weight.
so, how did you get across? walk?

turned back - what had happened was that a cattle truck got itself hung up on another bridge, blocking all traffic, and I was trying to figure out another route. Finally wasted enough time that they got the cattle truck removed off the other bridge.

crtreedude,
ah, i see. we have the same problem in NYC. :p
personally, i think you should open a new thread dedicated to the various photos you've taken down there in costa rica. i've seen a few you posted and they've all been fascinating to look at.

I have been riding seriously (again) on a nice all-black carbon bike built for road racing and TT (for the first time)Big change in mood and health for me!
Also upheaval in my personal life, as my mom lost her sister, and I am the only family member in the city for a few weeks. It feel wierd being in a familiar place with NO family.
Change is good! (Unless you frequent the strip clubs).

Which one of us gave you permission to disappear for a whole weekend? You're not supposed to leave Foo except by force. You are seriously scaring me. :eek:

Oohh oooh oooh!!! Bloody gorgeous!!! That picture made my heart skip a beat. I can envision myself riding across that bridge, bareback on a beautiful horse, with a young coconut in my hand and a mango in my mouth. *sigh*

I can't ride Joe! Not bareback anyway. :p
He can sit on back of the horse behind me. So he can hold on to me and stuff. :)

Okay, I'm feeling better now knowing that at least one thing - the length and breadth of Foo oddness (is that a word? It is now.:D ) - remains unchanged. So, in response to some of the comments:
VegaVixen - I was at least introduced to abother very good sushi bar, so the Left Coast is still callin',
Shadiyah - I think we piggish guys are wondering who is going bareback, the horse or you (at least in my miond, Joe was never an option :eek: )
Crtreedude - Awesome pic. As for gunning it and going for it, some questions just answer themselves . . . .
Chipcom - Carry on with the beard going out thing. I think I can force myself to tolerate that level of upheaval.:rolleyes:
Thanks, all. A little Fooness was just what the doctor ordered - as long as slvoid stays away from me with that glove . . . .

Ah-ite. I hear ya! Havin' deep-fried pickles tomorrow with flyingscotsman, and possibly bigskymacadam, barring snafus. Gotta get that delectable delicacy behind us before the serious training starts. ;)
My avatar has been the same since I joined.

Shadiyah, I think a bunch of the guys hoping for a new avatar of you with the horse, etc.
Our friends have a hotel just above that with great views of the volcano. Buying your tickets yet? ;)

Shadiyah, just noticed, you said Green Coconut - do you like to drink the juice of a green coconut? It is very popular here.

This is the view from up the hill by the way at the hotel.
