I would just like to announce that I've had it with any of the following: media lockups, winter, cold, snow, sleet, ice, salt due to ice, FCP crashes, backend crashes, RAID rebuilds, federal budgets, federal elections, the PQ and BQ.
That is all.
That is all.
Yup

And I need a new heater gasket for my Europiccola. And it looks like I'll need to make it myself as I am getting heartily sick of dealing with Faema. But my Euro is now a nice fire engine red instead of the baby sh*t brown it was...

As per the earlier discussion, the secret to gaining weight is eating often. You can only eat so much at a time of course. Eat snacks between every meal and eat hearty meals of course. Try seeing if you can max out the recommended servings on Canada's food guide. If you want to gain healthy weight don't just eat fatty stuff. Just eat a lot of stuff (especially a LOT of grains and fruit/vegetables). Worked/is working for me so far man. If you workout while eating like that you WILL gain weight for sure. And you'll feel great and not full/****ty like some other methods of weight gain.

As if these posts didn't give it away, reading BF has taken over a much unhealthier obsession of mine with reading certain coffee related forums..

so can I ask an amatuerish question?
how does this alleycat on Wed. work? Are there mock deliveries to make, a la regular courriering? Or is it just a point-to-point-to-point race? Just curious.

Yep, pavoni express is in my bookmarks as is the lair of the chrome peacock amongst others. The nice thing about BFToronto is that it encompasses so many topics, all intrinsically linked to fixed gears, that I have nary a need to keep up on other forums
Speaking of which, should we have another scotch night before it gets warm enough to warrant a gin and tonic night?

Also, I should give a plug to my club, who does a learn-to-race weekly program (check out midweekclub.ca for more info). Aside from being affiliated with them, it is an excellent program (I can say so b/c I did it myself)
OK, PM me if you want to ride sometime.

On another topic. Went up to Milton with Bradyn last night to pick up his new bike. Spokes and Slopes. That place is a virtual museum of old bike stuff. The owner kept pulling all these old TI bottom brackets and White Industries wheelsets out of the dusty confines of the storeroom. If he ever had the time he could make a killing on E-Bay. Really nice old guy. I asked him if he sold any used bikes. He told me he had a few. In the end I found an old 80's Vitus road bike. Red anodized frame. Complete Suntour Superbe Pro Group except for 600 pedals and Campy cranks. Mavic rims and TTT bar and stem. It needs cleaning up but otherwise in great shape. I dont want to divulge exactly what I paid for it but suffice it to say I paid less than my last bottle of single malt scotch. SCORE!
So I says to Mable I says

I bumped into mike/shapelike/eyefloater on the way to work today. It was pretty gay (no offense to gay people)
edit: keith, so you decided to man up and get one of the bottles of 1937 Glenfiddich at Hong Kong duty free on sale for $48,000 USD each? Must be a nice vitus!

...you bumped into him and it was gay? Did you physically bump and just happen to violate him or something?

I must get out there spinnin' to build up some endurance type muscles. I have an ancient base of mileage that helps me with handling and skills and such, but I definitely need to build up some legs and lungs for any type of racing. Looking forward to being on a 24 team, if one will have me.
