Miscellaneous/unsorted replies:
1. Thanks for the tips on hills.. plenty of recommendations to keep me busy for a while.
2. I was at urbane a few weeks ago and asked about half-links for 3/32 -- they had them for a few bucks.
3. Good luck to all writing exams.

I thought it was a great movie, more similar to Judge's beavis and butthead work than office space..

But speaking of buying locally, Keith, do you have a crankset in 144 BCD or, if not, a relatively budget crankset for which a 44t ring is reasonably easy to come by? pm me!

i just had a thought: those fencing mask-helmet things would be great for wearing on the bike. keep bugs out on humid summer days, uv protection, identity protection and that stealthy, ninja look ala jeff goldblum in the fly.

IF, I get my paper done and IF I get enough studying done for tomorrow nights exam I might be able to show up tonight. Big question is, what is going on tonight? I know its a race/scavenger hunt but thats it.

That's all anyone not in the know knows. Anyone in the know ain't tellin' least I hope not. Supposedly a casino late afterwards at the afterparty.... I don't know where. Oh this'll be fun...anyone looking for a second? I've been told Bag, Lock, Helmet. I'm iffy as to my scavenging abilities , but looking forward to it, 10buks for the fund for the race.

Helmet, hrmm might have to go home and drop mine. Keith I think I'll be dropping by with MTB this afternoon hopefully its a quick easy fix on it. This wind is brutal, going west is roughly equivalent to pulling teeth.

I absolutely flew into work today. I guess raising my bars by 3 inches made more more like a sail.
I just spent 3 hours being furious at a stack of energy grant applications. I let these things get to me too much I think...
