Dear Gawd I hope she doesn't read these boards or she's going to cram you through that little slit in your saddle... not that I know her or her tendencies, mind you, just going off the average female reaction to statements like that.

Gina's not the typical female with a bad attitude and lousy sense of humor, ask any of my buddies! Just about everyone says, "wow, where did you find a girl like that?". I joke alot with her and she laughs, my buddies say their wives would throw a fit claiming they've been degraded, not Gina. Hmm 22 years, she knows me well. But bottom line, I myself couldn't deal with an uptight broad, I never would have married one having to walk on eggshells the rest of my life, life is too fun!


Does she look offended? Would have this in my online photoalbum is she was?..btw, another benefit of being able to ride with no hands!



Tell me she doesn't have a sense of humor! That's her under the mask, no photoshop tricks!



Want video proof? Listen to what I say about easter eggs 20 seconds into the video.

Haha yes. "That's not vegan!"

A bug bashed into my tongue a month or so ago, and I think I got it out, but it tasted awful and my tongue and throat felt weird for like 5 minutes. They either burned or itched, I can't remember now. I am always getting bugs in the mouth, because my allergies make it unwise for me to breathe through my nose. heh

This is why I like my 20 y.o. bike helmet. It has only 3 slits in it for air. I sweat like a mofo, but it's great listening to the bugs bounce off of it. The big problem is that after an evening ride, it looks like the windshield on my car, what with all the bug spats on it. Doesn't help with ingesting them, though.

I have eaten quite a few bugs this spring. I have had to wash down more than I have coughed up.

This literally made me laugh. Those magpies are a trip when they lock vision with something they want.
