Thanks for the route suggestions, I might take Jane as that takes me all the way to pretty much where I need to be (near IKEA on that AMC plaza) I'll be heading north at around 2-2:30pm so the traffic should be OK - coming home I might head east a little and come down Keele to drop onto Parkside for the Ronces 'hood.
Thanks shapelike, you're all open and stuff this weekend yes yes? I'll probably have time to swing by - appreciate it greatly.

You don't wanna know any of us, especially not that Wes guy. And watch out for the shifty shapelike (open no link he presents you with unless you are in a concrete bunker away from all humanity.

Sooooo jealous.
I am going to get some rollers one day, do they really wear out your tires a lot though? They look like fun.

That roller guy is great. But he's totally a showoff. This guy on the other hand is a class act and a legend to boot. Damn that is a smooooth uber high cadence!!!!

Looks like ma nature's givin' us the bird this eve. Low of 0C, rain, snow and hail. That said, I don't think we'll be out tonight unless a miracle happens tout de suite! I will instead stay indoors and watch the bonus features of MASH and contemplate the ratio of ego-wank/hyper-tricksterism.

So the internet is now cut off at the shop and I now know how much freakin time I spent lookin at B.F. while at work. My posts will be increasingly redundant until I learn to scan through em before posting....please bear with me.
Congrats on the gig Dan....and soon enough you will be riding a Cervelo like all the other "poor" folks who work there. "oh...crap..this one has a scratch on it....guess I will take it home".
Dave....I will be in the shop all day tomorrow so stop by whenever.
I have tons of cheap new wheels left if anyone needs any for winter/beater bike duty....mostly Mtn but a few hybrid as well....did I mention they were cheeeeeeeep?
Does anyone know if I can hook up my older lcd monitor to my USB only MAC? It has the pin type connection and I figured I could get a pin to USB cable and all is good?
In other news I am the proud owner of a Futura Colnago. It will look very nice encased in wood and glass, hanging on my wall.

The then you should be able to hook up your old LCD monitor (will need an adapter if the one on your mac does not match the one on your LCD exactly).
If your monitor only has this connection (dsub):

You must have (dvi-i | dvi-a) on your mac to connect it (will also require an adapter). I got a spare dvi-i -> dsub adapter if you need.
No man, they are speedholes!

If your LCD has these connectors:

The then you should be able to hook up your old LCD monitor assuming you (will need an adapter if the one on your mac does not match the one on your LCD exactly).
