It fell short on the effort/reward scale. No webcam, among other reasons.

She has a regular spot on the weekend (7am to 1pm Sat and 7am to Noon Sun). She's been filling in a lot during the week lately 10am to 2pm Monday through Friday. You can listen on the web @WCNY.org

Oh, you meant the radio station. They have a listener request line. The evening guy plays listener requests on Monday evening.

I mean if your wife is DJ do you have undue influence on the play list.

Not really. I like her programming anyway. She did ask if I wanted to hear anything particularly on the Christmas show.

More like an outrage, to be blunt.

It's like going to bed early on Christmas Eve, leaving milk and cookies out for Santa, and waking up to not find a new bicycle under the tree.

Takes a certain mindset to enjoy an eclipse. Brandy, chaise lounge and good binoculars are nice. All we got here was a cloudy sky. Ho hum. I LOVED the last lunar eclipse, however. Woke up early for it (about 4 am my time).

They should get here. I called and they updated it so that they know the business hours.

I'm 5'10 and ride a medium Giant. It has pretty much the same top tube length as my 54cm Felt, but the Giant is a compact where the Felt is standard. Whether Razor's bike is too small for him, that's a different topic.

Your position looks excellent. I wasn't commenting on your fit, it was more of a historical comment. I've never ridden a modern TT bike with a cockpit so I wouldn't know what differences I would need.
