lol we've got 9...

the fact that we both like bikes helps a great deal, considering all the various parts and whatnot scattered around.

brad came with a loft bed, so 7 bikes fit underneath that and 2 are stashed out of the way.

It was quite a while ago that I dinged mine. After 10 days of Eye-patch (Yarrrr!!) and drops it was semi o.k. It stills gets a sting in it every so often. I always wear glasses for such operations but it was my stinkin' helmet strap buckle that got me.

They're good, but they need a mudflap added.

I lost my rear blinkie on the way home. I'm pretty sure the guy behind me ran over it deliberately...

Soon.

Gingerbread today. So tasty.

Since the weather is so nice tonight I'm staying in to build a bike. Can't decide if it will be a s/s mtb for the winter, or geared with dirt drops.

That too. Devils chocolate sounds good. Choc cake made with coffee is sexier than your almond legs.

The chocolate in mole sauce doesn't really appear in taste, but more of a base flavour, helps add depth. Tasty though, especially with poblanos.

Hopefully you landed on a pile of kittens. Everyone check your chains! I dropped as well last night while hopping a curb. Someone/something is trying to steal them.
