I'm thinking about putting Campy on my broken / to-be repaired black Guru to try it out.

Casually Deliberate
We each had a short stack of pancakes
and we split a Chorizo Fiesta omelet
I only ate about half of my stack of pancakes. I kind of like IHOP's New York Cheesecake ones but I'm not a huge fan of pancakes other than the Dutch variety you make in a cast iron pan in the oven and eat with lemon and maybe powdered sugar. My dad used to guilt me into eating pancakes by saying "Someday, I'll be gone and you'll say 'I wish my dear old dad was here to make me some pancakes. I sure miss him'." He was half right. Three years later, I've missed my dad a bunch and I do think he and LoP would have gotten along swell. But I don't miss eating guilt-cakes.

LoP left out one detail: As we were getting ready to leave for the IHOP, he was practically lying on the couch. I said, "Are you just hungry?" He said, "That and my neck still hurts." I said, "Did you take some Tylenol for it?" He said, "I did better than that. I took a Vicodin." I said, "When did you do that?" He said, "Just now." I said, "Oh my God!" He said, "It's okay though. I've driven a car before on Vicodin." I said, "Yeah? Me too." I asked my daughter what she thought and she said if it was her, she wouldn't go, but I figured "What the hell? It's only one and I'll keep a good eye on him." Besides, it gave the trip a very mild Hunter S. Thompson appeal. And everything turned out fine.

I dunno. She could make some wicked blintzes. We ate 'em with sour cream and blackberry jam. Oh man, they were good.
Truth be known, she taught my wife to make 'em just as good. But do you think I ever get any? Nada. Zilch. Zippety-doo-dah. Damn!

See my comment in that thread. I thought he was alien254 instead of allen254. That was scary.

That stuff is really pretty bland. One is like silly. Since that viral syndrome I had, I am a big fan of Tramadol. Only when indicated, of course.

Careful. One of the guys at the bike shop put Campy on one of his bikes to "try it out". Now, he wants to sell his Di2 bike and go Full Campy.

Their corporate office is in NW Portland but they don't have a "Cycle Club" near here. That's too bad because I would love to spend all day in a place that showed live racing and served "the finest coffee and food". Never mind working in one. I'd like to own/run one. A combination bike shop/co-op/cafe with a big TV. Failing that and in the much shorter term, I'd like to have this lady's job but around here. I'm not sure how I'd make it happen though.
