Demonoid will be back, I had no idea it was run from Canada (as much as any site is run from anywhere).

Keith, have you had any luck ordering that cap for the Hed's? Is there a way to order a 14 tooth cog for a 9 speed, or do I need to buy a new cassette?

That was definitely a "I'm so glad I'm on a bike right now," moment.

Yeah that sounds about right. Thanks for the tip man. I forgot about Cycling TV. I registered. You have to pay for the live stuff (although not that much) but they do have highlights and archived stuff after the fact.

Whew I just ate an uber-bowl of oatmeal. Two packets of instant oatmeal and double the water. I'm pretty full.

edit: I just got this gif in an email it's classic. It's a video of a seagull stealing chips from a convenience store. He walks in really slow and you can actually see him stop to see if anyone is looking then he grabs them and runs. Classic!

Damn, I wondered why my download of the Aliens DVD was not going anywhere. I too hope it comes back but it has been a couple of days now, that sucks.

:lol:

Lakeshore eastbound was backed up to hell and back today, I took great pleasure in going along the lakeshore path today :) Wonder if traffic on King was heavier because of the city hall cab thing or not... Ah well, I got to work just the same either way yay for biking :)

stephen/offhoff has one of those.. he had it on him for Toby's first alleycat. This is his youtube account, but I have no idea if any of the stuff was taken with that unit: http://www.youtube.com/user/updowngroup

I_bRAD 09-26-07 02:51 PM

No idea, I guess he's just avoiding us. :)

Coincidentally, I believe Offhoff surfs as well. Along with being a local fixie rider, street luger and all around x-treem guy. :D Also, he makes a meeeeean deep fried turkey. mmm!

I already have this if you want a copy. 4.4gb rip only.

Story of the day:

I'm coming back just now from the GO station and some ******** ****** on a MTB going the wrong way down the steet has the nerve to play chicken with me AND yell something at me while I swing into traffic to pass him.

I think he said something like "riding that fast is dangerous" with an unfriendly look on his face. Wasn't even worth my energy to stop and argue with this moron. Where do these people come from? Are they just born a moron or are they created? It really defies my understanding.

Ha Ha but remember there is a 50/50 chance your deck will go up in flames then your house shortly after.

I think there is an elegant mix of evolution and environment going on. My only consolation is that they're not behind the wheel of a car.

That's why HE makes a mean deep fried turkey, and not me. :D

i speak to him semi-regularly. he's doing fine, working on the road and writing. the next time we chat i'll let him know he is missed.

First mistake....putting the turkey fryer on/near the deck in the first place. I still prefer an oven bird but theres something to hanging outside in the snow, huddled up around the turkey fryer, and enjoying a warm mulled beverage....GOOD TIMES!
