Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I'm actually having good weather, but 1) it's getting dark when I get home 2) too busy on weekends, especially building bikes at the bike shop and 3) I've been trying to get myself to commute more, but I think I'm starting to realize that I am NOT a morning person, period. It was easy in school when I had to be on campus at various times, but rarely before 9 a.m. Right now, I have to hit the door at 7 a.m. and even when I lay out all my stuff, I need about 30 minutes in the morning. Ugh. That and my very pregnant wife often needs help with the 3.5 year old in the mornings.

I guess I'm going to have to accept the fact that I'm just going to get fat(ter).

I should say that the restaurants here won't serve you pecan pie if you call it PEE-can, which is something you use when you are stuck hunting in a duck blind. You have to quite properly ask for peh-CAHN. Works for me.
I'd rather have a piece of shoo fly pie.

I've decided on this compromise in order to occasionally share my A stuff with you guys. Might need some tweaking, but I don't see it as too obtrusive. Being digital, I'm sure there's some way a real skilled lowlife could remove the watermark, but the vast majority of lowlifes will move on to an easier mark.

No pics. Probably wasn't visible through all of the hair anyway.

Very nice stuff. Watermarks are a necessary evil.

Since I've been reading up on cameras entirely too much, what is your setup?

Good photo and I dig the watermark. There's a local girl that takes a lot of local bike photos and has a cool watermark that she sticks in the middle...actually saw someone on facebook yell at her for putting the watermark in a spot they couldn't easily remove to make the photo their profile pic. It was funny to see her comment basically telling the person to buy the photo and the watermark goes away.

Also, nice Nishiki!
