He's about my size, perhaps a little shorter. So something over 60 for sure.

I'll check out the postings at MEC. You can't go wrong with spending some time there.

Can do tomorrow (Monday), till what time Dan?

Hmm. Well most days I'm done around 5, although technically I'm on call until 6. There is a chance that I could get a late call in there somewhere that would screw things up but in all likelihood I could get there around 5:15-5:30. We should exchange numbers via pm and I'll give you a call 5ish and let you know if there's a problem. Sound good?

Oh man... fun times today. The end of dim sum, black gold @ i deal, trickery everywhere, safety in numbers @ Bellwood in the foot down ring. Good seeing everyone out. If all goes well I'll post some pics on Flickr later. Oh and thanks for tolerating the last minute shopping in the market. ;)

In the end Toby and I ran into multiple agro people. Trackstanding @ Spadina some dude walked up to Toby almost touching his shoulder just gunning him off because he felt he was in the way - he wasn't. I asked if he wanted a ride on my handlebars. He didn't. Then a dude in a silver Rav 4 - who admittedly and apologetically Toby had 5 minutes earlier cut off going in the other direction - almost ran us over @ King & Strachan and then said to Toby, "I'm coming for you" while Toby was stopped up on the sidewalk. Bonus, two toe headed kids heads peaking up over the back seats.

Didn't matter. Today pwned. The summer of awesome is upon us - as soon as the weather co-operates. :D

That just brought up a really disturbing image for me. No time to gimp it though.

Moron has kids? Wow what a waste of space.

You just earned yerself a Lawrence run at 5:10 buddy. :D

Danhalen 04-15-07 04:31 PM

Hell yeah today was awesome. Just now I put my saddle way back on my track bike. Voila way more comfortable and faster. You'd think that would occur to me sooner considering I just did the same thing on my other bike. Meh.

Oh god you're right *knocks on fake wood desk* Actually that reminds me of the good ol' days at the Mess. Being clear at 6:30 at Bayview and Lawrence. Ahhh the memories.

Pre-calling yourself more than likely clear at any given hour is indeed changing the physics of tomorrow's dispatch board as we speak. Danhalen has indeed set great motions afoot with his comments. :D This also includes trying to meet for coffee, lunch plans or the cute receptionist who takes her break at 3. Messers are indeed the dispatchers' willing minions until he sets you free.

Yeah there was a dude riding a black one of those at CM last month.

I can't wait to have a garage so I can get a hiwheel. Although in the back of my head I do think I could get cocky and do this.

Funny you should say that Dr. As I was traipsing around San Francisco today I came across a hi wheel in need of some TLC. Too bad it wasn't a "plane friendly" type of purchase. Would have been interesting trying to get it through customs in my carry on :) .
