mitch-
i have your 3rd place prize money for the BA TT.

Seriously? What was it? $3?

its in a 'security envelope' but i breached it. it's slightly more. in fact, its enough to buy a footlong.

You breached my envelope!?

Keep it; that next time I see you we'll probably both forget.

Did you get the fastest time Scott? I couldn't make any more rides or it would have conflicted with my training schedule.

I got 3rd fastest.

Joe -from barberton got 7:05
Greg- your son got 7:06
and I -nocondorfx got 7:07

Lance !!! :eek: :twitchy: :cry:

Spotted while driving home: 20 something dude in a late 60's or early 70's VW Microbus like this one, with Colorado plates...

... a fixie sitting in the back. I could see the cow horn handlebars, racing saddle, maybe a Bianchi frame. Dude had some sort of Russian fur hat on, big hippie sunglasses, fur coat. Probably on some big adventure ... looked like fun. Made me jeleaous! :thumb:

I'm pissed. So on Saturday, we're always busy at the bike shop, right? Well it was only 4 of us today, and I was the only one splitting my time between working the floor and building bikes in the back room.
Therefore, I was able to work the floor to a small extent but not enough to sell any bikes, or even see any bikes being sold.

We need a full-time bike builder, I hate splitting my time and coming up with nothing of either.

Happy Easter everyone:

Oingo Boingo warning!

"Men are....
 

"Men are what their mother's made them."....or so says Ralph Waldo Emerson.:)

I would add that's true of women also.

If you are blessed to have your mother in your life, be sure to (choose one) thank, blame, forgive her for that this MOther's Day.

+1. My mother actually admitted this morning to her friend having "son issues" that she only has problems with "having the same personality clashing"

"Parent Alert"
Most colleges are returning our kids during the present week.
Have you set up jobs/projects for the season ahead,the market is tough in this economy for students?

Reminder: Universal Sports is covering the Giro d'Italia *LIVE* every morning. You can watch it on Chicago's TV Ch. 5.2 or online. Right now, it's the team time trial and they are following the US team, Team Columbia.

I need to put up a bigger UHF TV antenna so I can watch it on TV too! :) (We don't get this in Milwaukee :( )
