but they have your intials on the right like the hardtail did? i think it would be hard to build up a frame like that and sell it. That stinks though, hope something good comes of it.

Getting your HT stolen the first time was bad enough. Now this.

I hope the perps get strung up and eviscerated.

Hrmmm decisions decisions. I can stay here in Dallas TX, move to Austin TX, and now I have an offer to move to around Seattle. I have always lived in Texas and love the chilly rainy weather and am an extremely outdoors type person this is a hard choice!

If you have homeowners or renters insurance, turn in a claim. Even if it was a pile of bike at the time, it is personal property. It will be subject to your deductible, but you can get restart funds coming your way. I hope your have some insurance. If they say, It aint covered, ask the magic phrase, Show me in the policy where it isn't covered. You wouldn't believe how that phrase opens the checkbook.

HOPEFULLY, you got some insurance. If not, sorry, sound like something you might consider.

Haven't been on the bike in about a month. (knees) Saturday was gonna be my first day back post-hiatus. Trails were shot. Today was gonna be my next first day back. Wife and one kid have the flu...had to leave work early to take care of the whole flammy.


Does the good Lord want me to quit riding or maybe just wait until the Flow is done?

Ran a 5k earlier. Wow, I really suck at pacing myself. Did it in a pathetic 24ish mins (according to my start and finish time; we'll see what the chip thingy says), started off way too slow seeing as I literally sprinted the last half mile.

Patience boy, patience! You are storing up good points, taking the higher path! The wife will see, she will appreciate, the rewards will arrive.
