Poor sweetie. :( I just got home after getting a quick beer and creme brulee after work.

Some amusement for my dearest BikeForums wifey...

Okay, so it's not your birthday, but it's exactly 5 months from your birthday. That counts for something, right?

Awww... thanks sweetie!

My leg is sore, so I'm having trouble getting to sleep. I'm trying to stay off the Motrin, so its just throbbing.

If you enjoyed that duet, you should try out this patriotic duet (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WD0wxki0_Gg). :)

[edit] I think I like the solo version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yS1PRVHfBTw) better.

I think I'm going to try to sleep again. ::: yawn :::

I may be able to make it to Cuda's dinner on Sunday. See ya then, Jason!

Or dispense with all the other stuff and just go straight to my favorite YouTube vid (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPcnGrie__M), that of Heifetz playing Paganini's Caprice #24.

See ya then, Jason!

See you Sunday! :love:

I switched to Dvorak over two years ago. I can't type in QWERTY anymore without looking.

Sheesh. Nerds.

I am somewhat surprised at this recent resurgence of Dvorak layouts. Granted qwerty is not very efficient (by design) but in these days of compatibility, I sure would not want to bounce between methods. I am sure glad I am old and won't have to deal with it. At some point, there will be compatibility mappings at every keyboard you might encounter but for now, too difficult for me.

I played with Dvork's in the 70's before there were PCs. I did the mappings in CMS. Ahhh good times.

I suck. I tried to go for a spin this morning and was hurting all up and down PV Drive.

I'm so bummed. I need Thai Food Therapy but nothing is open right now. :(

At least I rode into work this morning. As usual, I'm taking the long way home in a couple of hours. I'm also stopping for some ice cream and coffee on the way. :D

Another gal with white shorts has the same name as my bike? Weird.

Well, it's not that like I don't TRY :o

BTW, I thought that was you on my wheel when I took a pull at Lighthouse. I kept glancing down and saw a Ti fork right off my back wheel. A couple of miles later I let up and looked back at a complete stranger... and not a BFer in sight! :eek::rolleyes:

I only use QWERTY keyboards. But I map my own computers in software to Dvorak. I do maintain touch typing abilities in QWERTY from the occasional use of shared computers, though.

Too fast for all BF'ers.

Nope, it was all Scootcore's fault. It's those Magic Pills he has.

Thai Thani opens at 11. Gonna run some errands before I get me some Pad Thai. See ya SoCalers!

I haven't had good pad thai in a long time. Haven't found a good thai place yet, out here in the valley. Well, one that's okay, but nothing special.

even when she let's up, she's smokin' the trail!!!! :rolleyes:

Buying pair of SIDIs right now. Men's, black. They felt like butta on my foot and the new women's shoe is white and pink (barf). I'm just sick of looking, and Performance says they will take them back if I'm not happy with them. I'll be trying them out tomorrow.

Have them take some pics of you with the white and pink shoes :lol:

+1 Sherman Oaks has no great thai dive, and I love thai.

No

What did you get, the 5s?

Nope, can't think of any.

Yippee! Big applause for Performance. Shoes and the cleats, minus no charge for cleat installment (normally $10 even at my regular lbs), minus my PB points, and out the door for $200. Shoes alone were $239.:eek:

Miracle of modern technology, called a blackberry :D

it's the only good use of a blackberry ... can't justify it yet.

$10 to install cleats? Hmm... I should just install cleats for a living!

it's the only good use of a blackberry ... can't justify it yet.I got rid of mine after I dropped it replying to an email on the bike trail. I ordered a regular phone and told my boss that it's a compact blackberry.

I think so. They are black and he called them dominators. Some other shopper (a guy) cooed over them and licked his lips, so I assumed they are okay. And they felt amazing on.

He probably just has a foot fetish.

probably too small a market, and if you go to the trouble of getting good alignment it could take a lot of time.

I really like my SPD-Rs (long discontinued). You can reach the cleat bolts through the pedals.

Interesting. Those are MTB shoes. But really, they are almost the same as the road version (genius), but with those cleats on the bottom.

No. These are definitely road shoes. I'll post pic later, as I'm sure I'm just saying the wrong name.

Can you walk in them like normal folks, or do you clip clop like the rest of us?
