Meeting tomorrow for work that relates to a bunch of failing data ( I am a scientist), I actually love meetings esp ones like these... almost as a joke I scheduled it for 30 min so it would fit on other people's calenders easier and they would accept it (we use outlook). No way it is shorter than an hour.

Plus everyone will draw different conclusions on the same data and everyone will leave frustrated. At least it will be out of the way in the morning.

That's not very thoughtful of your coworker's time. I'd be fussy with that.

False pretenses--you're one sly scientist.

Hey Velo Gator,

Since you stirred up a big ruckus about it, when are you doing a time trial?

Someone on the forum suggested that toting a cute child around is an effective means of attracting female attention. Do you think this would work? Is the prison term for kidnapping less severe if you abduct your niece?

Now you know where the good looks in the family went.

It always drove me crazy when I went to the grocery store to buy cr2032 batteries for my bike computer and sending units. I paid $5 - $7 bucks each time...for 2 in a pack. Well..finally remembered I wanted to try to find a better price so I went to eBay. Just ordered a 10-pack for $4.97, free shipping, expiration date 2018. Went from $3 to $.50 each with just a few clicks. Over the next year, that's probably gonna save me...$20! Woot!

Your niece looks like she's making you an offer you can't refuse. Either that or she just wants permission to take that thing off of her head.

Thanks for the tip. That's the kind of batteries I use.

You must go through them quickly. It seems a two-pack lasts me about a year.

I have one head unit that I use between two bikes. My Interloc has two senders (speed & cadence) and my ParkPre has speed only...so full battery replacement is 4 batteries.

I'm developing an uncontrollable urge to get a Big Shot custom fixed bike today.

Housing is now cheap! (If you're paying your mortgage in gold bullion)



In other news, I'm pretty sure everyone here would die if we had a 8+ earthquake. Yikes.
