See you guys/gals tonight.

Dr. Bennie will be happy to hear this (I think). Heading E on College today, there was a Fed ex truck parked in the lane right before University... but... the next Fed Ex truck outside of MARS was blocking car lane one keeping the bike lane free... are they leaning?

Keep dry!

I live on Marion St (close to Ronces), I see all kinds of idiots riding the wrong way lights/no lights - hugging the cars (as if that's safer) or whatever... Dolts, the lot of them. I make it a personal point to circle around on Pearson if I'm heading to Queen or Dundas from Sorauren or heading home off Ronces, I'll circle the block - another half a click and extra cool down time is good cakes, IMO.

Had a guy on Bloor just east of Yonge last night riding in that big wide area, he was edging toward traffic, so I yelled and pointed to him to get the **** over and out of my way - it worked, but it made me wonder why he was riding there.

It's a LaCie. FW 400/800 + USB2.0. I can bring my fw800 cable if you have the port on your compy386.

I have a sweet Technics cassette tape recorder if any of you guys need it. It even has Dolby noise reduction!

IMHO, it seems to be some sort of gutter bunny mental string theory that pulls the rider over to within a few feet of the curb.

My MacBook Pro has all the ports...even some Apple card port I have never, ever, seen anyone use.

Hot pink is the new..... no it isn't, nevermind.

Can we throttle the data flow like a water hose by kinking?

Public service announcement/me talking about myself so deal with it:

I just got back from the fracture clinic. No more sling, no more restrictions. On the X-ray from today the fracture wasn't even visible! It stil has to solidify a bit more but it's all healed up. Now I just have to get mobility back in my shoulder. I've already gotten a lot back but the rest is going to be a *****. I'm pretty psyched though. Riding the stationary bike I'm getting closer and closer to being able to hold my hands in the handlebars! Couple more weeks hopefully I'll be rolling around annoying the hell out of all of you in person! Woo!

Keith I won't be able to make it tonight. Thanks for your kind offer. I'm staying and having a celebratory dinner with the 'rents. I'll see all of you guys soon though. Safety arrangements for Friday?

As an aside, I am planning on having the lot of you over sometime soon as a just because and also as a kind of thankyou for everyone being so nice and generous during my down time. Seriously I really appreciate it! Thanks!

I don't think I'll be able to make it tonight guys and trust me, you're better off. I've been sick the last couple days with a mad oozy cold.

However, if everyone is free next Wednesday, I've finished the flyer for that regular thing I mentioned. The idea is fun. And a good excuse to get together regularly. I'd also like to keep it going through the winter if possible:
