I got it for list from Amazon (not one of the Amazon stores...)-- the Wiitracker alerted me thursday night around midnight and I got online fast enough to score.
A friend of mine picked up 2 of them a few weeks ago at a rural Walmart and is planning to flip them for christmas. But if she get stuck with one she won't feel bad either...

Oh god. I just can't help myself!!!
You do realize that 12 miles in 7 minutes is driving 103 miles per hour, and that assumes no slowing down for any stop signs, lights, turns or maneuvering out of a parking spot? :p
For you, darling, I'll clarify. 7 mins from Woodman 101 S exit to Central/Brand Exit in Glendale off the 134. I drive 80 mph (surely you recall from months ago?). That is SO to Glendale, I presume? :rolleyes: You can look up the exact mileage if you would like and calculate it out if you want, but that is the timing at that time of day. :)

sign up for Wiitracker.com and either get email updates or put the RSS on a page you look at a lot.
I was stubborn about paying list and not getting stuck with a bundle of games I didn't want, so I put the tracker at the top of my My.yahoo.com. When I checked just before I went to bed a little after midnight thursday it showed in stock at amazon, and I clicked and lucked out.
Otherwise try a Walmart in the middle of nowhere. My friends parents live outside Stockton and when she went to visit them a few weeks ago they just had them there in stock at the walmart with a 2 unit per person limit. She got 2, and was regretting not having gone back in for the last 2...

I guess you can wheelsuck for a bit til needed;) Come ride palomar with me, I'm sure you can still climb better then me:D
My riding buddy crashed his dirt bike over the weekend so his shoulder was a bit sore still. Went on today's ride and he was an animal!!! We took turns doing 25mph pulls into the headwinds. He can't ride off the saddle so we attacked the hills seated which pushed eachother good. Like riding like that. Set a new PR, 15 miles in 44 minutes. The final sprint up the hill to our work, he broke a spoke:eek:

my weight sucks, hasn't moved much, I gained some then lost some now back to staying the same @ 195 Only gains I'm seeing is that my legs are becoming more toned, a lil better then it was when I was racing MTBs so I think I'm on the right path. I should be trying to get rid of the weight, but my mind is sooo focused on speed. In about 2 weeks I'm gonna up my program even more to help the intensity training.

My wife has a pair of those and loves them. She also uses sound tracks from cardiocoach.com so that she can do interval training with her swimming. It's made a remarkable difference in her aerobic fitness.

Wii Losers: HA HA! My mom (bless her little heart) called Target one Sunday morning, and was told they have 3 Wii's. She took my dad's Vette down there, and got it for $274. Comes with Wii Sports, one controller, and one nunchuck....Wii is pretty much the only thing on my Christmas list. My 4 y.o. loves it, and actually gets up off his butt to play. /joking about the losers thing.
Chucklehead: Out of shape, huh? I got you beat...but want to ride this weekend? Not with Jeff and his arctic Palomar climb...something more reasonable...on Sunday. And you're not angry. M.E.'s angry. You're pleasant.
Happytime: Is on a quest to make swimming more interesting. Might I suggest something from the Wicked Weasel swimwear line? It'd make it a whole lot more interesting...
Mo'Phat: Wow, you only pay $1100/month for a 4 bed, 3 bath house with a 3 car garage...you overpaid. ;) (however, I've been evac'd twice for fires...so that sucks...and I've got about $5K in property taxes per year, and all utilities/repairs fall on me...)
Drew12: Thanks a lot, jerk. I just bought four of those jackets. More '80's metal skanks for me, I guess.

Wicked Weasel? I'm not even going to bother googling that!
(It actually sounds like something a budgie smuggler would wear)
Sorry, guys. My indoor swimming requires something more chlorine-proof, aerodynamic and industrial-strength. Pref. something that goes well with my rubber swim cap, goggles and ear plugs. Meow! :rolleyes:
no need for Google...I have that one bookmarked...for when my heart needs a jolt.

/or is it hydrodynamic? Crash, help me out here.
