me so tired.

edit: I'm pretty sure I just fell asleep sitting at my desk with my eyes open. This is gonna be One Of Those Days.

I have never tried the spray. Something under pressure would prolly get in the nooks and crannies better than powder. That being said I have always had great luck with the regular powder...just give it a squirt and its golden.

The 1am nachos are torturing me right now, let me tells you.

Nachos are sooo good.

Who do people use for tennant insurance, and how do they deal with bikes? I want to get some in case my bikes get stolen, but the last time I called when I explained the price of my road bike, they seemed to either assume that I was a) lying or b) talking about a motorcycle.

I can just imagine them saying 'no problem, we'll give you $500 replacement cost for your bike" and me spending that $500 to buy a gun...

anyone have a co2 system they can recommend?

Thanks for that link wes. There goes the first half of my day for the next couple of weeks. I tuned in just in time for the finish.

We use the same company for our car, home and business. We got a screaming deal as the owner of the broker is a friend of Mindy's father. The best way to get what you need without having to pay exorbitant premiums is to get hooked up with an "inside deal". My bikes are covered (well over $10,000..$500 deductable) but most places will want to charge you extra to cover bikes. If your parents have insurance this is the best way to get hooked up....long time customers (or relations of) get the bonus as they are not totally new/unknown to the broker. Did I mention insurance agents get all giddy at the prospect of sticking it to cold callers? Find an "in" and it will be much less painful.

Side note: I got an awesome auto/tenant's insurance deal through Meloche-Monnex. It's group insurance, so you need to be part of "something" (eg. university alumni, unionized employee, etc). Not sure about the bikes, but it was actually cheaper for me to get the tenant's insurance in addition to my auto insurance. If I have more than 1 policy with them I get a discount on the others which takes more off my auto insurance than I'm paying for the tenant insurance.

Is it wrong that my bikes are worth more than my entire clothing wardrobe?

Its amazing the figures you come up with when figuring out house contents values.
The first place I cold called when I needed insurance for the van quoted me $4500 a year for just liability. We ended up paying 1/4 of that with the hook-up.

I have a VISA card with your name on it.

I used to have all my stuff fit two garbage bags

i think sweep took a pic of himself with this blood sign. talk about fast post. hahaha. go raps go!!

I use Meloche-Monnex. They are pretty good in my experience too. For actually making a claim, it kind of depends. There may be a cap unless you've specficially listed it on our policy and depending on the deductible, it may not be worth making a claim (yeah, some racket). Some helpful info here:
http://www.tdcanadatrust.com/tdinsur...entre/stol.jsp. If you're specifically looking at covering high cost bicycles, probably better to do that by specifically scheduling them rather than covering them under a general policy.

Ha Ha its all fun & games till you have to play on a Sunday night, then wake to a day of work!!!

Hell ya that’s me (NOT) it's my little guy!

Sarah Silverman is damn funny. I don't find many female comedians very funny, but she's good.

now go out there and have the abortion of your dreams.

Her comedy is totally lost on me.

Does this have any bearing on the possibility of seeing Mr Tuft on TDF? I don't know exactly what the requirements are.

Symmetrics doesnt have a spot at the tour. They are a domestic pro team I think.

sh*t and bother....
