I need to get some pix of my paint-flaking 5200 up in the Trek thread. I wonder if that would get a few bites.

Captain Obvious says: I need more money.
he also says: over the air TV sucks during the day.
Spent $90 on food just now. Jeez. Also swung by my favorite bike shop to look at saddles. I had no idea the Aliante was a $200 saddle! He said if I bought a saddle and didn't like it he'd take it back, but I just can't afford that much money right now. Looks like I'll just have to HTFU and ride my Toupe until May when I get a job.

I've thought about it. Don't know exactly which saddle I want. I've been recommended to try Selle Italia SLR/SLR XP, Fizik Aliante, Selle San Marco Mantra, or Specialized Phenom.
I might just buy one on eBay, try it, if I don't like it I'll sell it on eBay.

We are less than human. This guy would have gotten more jail time if his pot were stored in several small baggies than he did for taking two lives.

FB, an aliante sport can be had for like 40-50 bucks new on ebay. I bought an old one but traded it.
In addition. I have a used SLR XP I'll send you to try out. If you like it, keep it, if not send it back to me. I don't think I want anything for it since I'm not planning on using it. Have to warn you though, a friend used it for MTB so it's seen it's share of wear. Should be fine to try out and shouldn't ruin your bibs.

Was this too much? Posted in the poll: "The guy who won was using a carbon steerer tube. Last year several guys crashed and none of their carbon steerers snapped. That why I won't by an aluminum frame or use alu wheels, aluminum is prone to catastrophic failure if you damage it."

Heading out for a lunch time spin on the FG. I plan to do intervals but I won't be surprised if I JRA. First time on the bike since Monday (work sucks this time of year).

I'm so tired. Spent 30 minutes on the trainer. Lost my mind. I think I'll do another 30 minutes shortly. And then lose my mind. And then do another 30.
**** winter.

All you have to do is look around, every state seems to give light sentences to people who hurt or kill cyclists. We are nothing more than a road hazard and seem to be getting what we deserve when a vehicle hits us. I have a substantial life insurance policy...I've told my wife if I'm ever hit by some drunk/stone/texting/talking on cell phone cager take a portion of that money and hire the best lawyer she can find and sue that person till they are pushing a shopping cart and living under a bridge.
