Good night tonight, thanks guys - nice to meet more of you, and with my odd German couch surfer in tow. Kickass pie, Brad - thanks again to you and Tam for hosting.

I've got a visit with my daughter tomorrow night until around 7:30/8 - can I leave my cell # or can someone PM me thiers for the rally point/where you'll be tomorrow?

Cumbraes +1. I bought a 9.5 lbs. pork shoulder from there a few weeks back for pulled pork (heh... pulled pork). 100% worth the investment!

Thanks again for last night B&T! That pie was top shelf! Nice seeing everyone again as well. Hope you made it home ok Dan. You look so out of sorts looking for a streetcar stop. It ain't right man. Yuo should at least have your own personal rickshaw so you can feel a lil more at home.

squab
[SKWAHB]
A young (about 4 weeks old) domesticated pigeon that has never flown and is therefore extremely tender. It was a popular special-occasion dish in Victorian England. Squabs usually weigh 1 pound or less and have delicately flavored dark meat. Fresh squab is available throughout the summer months (year-round in some regions) in gourmet markets. Frozen squab is marketed year-round. Choose fresh birds by their plump, firm appearance. Store as for CHICKEN. Likewise, squab can be prepared in any manner suitable for chicken. A classic method is to stuff and roast it.

edit: that just sounds nasssssssssssty...

Keith, meant to also ask you last night if there's anything you can do re: my Rob Roy plan.. Else, I'll probably get in on the group buy. Temped by the nectar of that honey, too.... mmmm.

Any word on tonight?

Can anyone help a sister in need?
A good friend of mine woke up this morning to THIS.

I'm looking for a 56-58 frame that I could build as a conversion or a complete bike in that size ON THE CHEAP!

There is much more to the story that I won't get into here but the bottom line is that she had her bike destroyed for all the wrong reasons, if anything she had it destroyed for being a good friend and I want to help get her back on the road ASAP.

Hey has anyone found a way to keep up on forum posts without having to come to the forum all the time? I really wish there was a way to get the forum updates into my Google Reader. I've been so busy lately that I've been missing all the fun in the forum since I have not had alot of spare surfin' time...

There are a couple RSS feeds linked from forum pages, but unfortunately neither of them are specific to any particular threads. Might be something to suggest: https://www.bikeforums.net/forum-suggestions-user-assistance/. I did a quick search for "RSS" in there and didn't come up with any results.

I think we might need a back up plan for tonight if the weather doesn't cooperate: https://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/city/..._metric_e.html

Go to the Thread Tools menu at the top, hit "Subscribe to Thread" and you can get the forum to e-mail you crap - that might be the easiest solution right off the bat.

Talk to Brad and/or Derek at Bike Joint....I know he has a couple of nice conversion ready frames in his basement. Prolly willing to let one go on the cheap for a sister in need. I can help you out with parts...is there anything salvagable or is it a complete re-build?
