Yes indeed. Its freezing point is a bit below water, though. When I lived in the 'hood there was a corner store that kept 40s in an icecream cooler kept in between the two freezing temps. As we walked home with our really cold 40s massive amounts of condensation would form on the glass and freeze. When atmospheric conditions were just right it would be almost 1/8" thick by the time we got them home.

Now I'm craving an old fashioned root beer float, the kind were they freeze the mugs and use real ice cream not soft serve.

Mmmm, rootbeer float + french fries sounds really good right now. I'm glad they're not very convenient otherwise I would indulge.
Anyways, back to dogs and cats. My friend sent another pic of her matching cat/dog set. When I do retire or get rich enough to have a dog butler I'll still have cats in addition to the dogs. And some goats and chickens too.

Man, a couple years ago they chipsealed a favorite road of mine with 1" aggregate!!!! Ruined a perfectly good road. I sent a couple of emails about how they should NOT chipseal the bike lanes when they chipseal, could save the county/state thousands of dollars.

My marathon story:
I ran about a 2-3 miles of a half marathon backwards once (it was a trail marathon), my gf was running it and an ankle injury had deteriorated by about mile 8 or so and she was upset that she had to walk so I ran the course backwards to find her then walked in with her gimpy self. (i didn't go across the finish line for people that find that taboo)
When she ran the rochester half I brought up the hybrid bike I was riding at the time and rode ahead and waited for her to catch up and took pics and yelled encouraging things throughout the race.

here is my cycling question. I have been since since about wed and feel ok but not great. my first race is next Sunday and I am considering 2 races that day. IS that silly talk or good early season training. (first race is 4/5 second is 3/4, I wish it were backwards.) It is only $15 for a second race.
btw lowcel when you do sell the kestrel keep me in mind. I have a grand plan in my mind of selling my commuter bumping the backup bike to commuting typoe stuff and making something like that frame my backup.

Pho + https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sriracha_sauce = win
Though I prefer the brothless Pho (which is called something else) at my local place.
I only know my meal by number. A 207 with chicken, no bean sprouts. It has spring rolls on top. I hate all spring, summer, and egg rolls with the exception of this one place, which is 1 mile from where I work.

For basically the same price my wife just went for the droid pro over iPhone 4. So proud of her.

Anyone ever tried any of that anti-hangover juice? I'm guessing it can't work better than a big bowl of Phở and some coffee.
1) What year is your Crumpton?
2) How do you like it?
3) Is the horizontal top tube an option still?
4) What model?
5) How long a wait?
6) How much does it weigh?
So it was six questions...sorry.
But I do think I have found my new object to covet- just beautiful, I think if I ever get another bike this may be it.

Off topic but 2 questions.
1) What year is your Crumpton?
I ain't got no Crumpton, it's a dream bike!
2) How do you like it?
I'm sure I'd like it VERY much!
3) Is the horizontal top tube an option still?
Yes, for the Corsa M, and perhaps the TT and CX, but not sure on the last two. The SL road definitely slopes, though.
4) What model?
I'm guessing the photo portrays a Corsa M.
5) How long a wait?
Dunno.
6) How much does it weigh?
Dunno. Doesn't really matter to me. I guess I'd be a bit peeved if it was over 20 lbs, but no even if it was 23 lbs I likely wouldn't care.
So it was six questions...sorry.
