PS. The comments on that youtube video are hilarious. When WON'T people bring up the helmet debate? Its freaking crazy!

I've always loved in skate videos when they play some nice jazz/funk/etc. Reminds me of the Stereo Skateboards boys. I still need to see Way Out East.

anyone doing coffee today? It's a lovely day out there.

ditto for scotch scheduling.. I'm thinking around 8:30 or 9:00 would be when I'd be coming by, personally. But don't let that hold you back! As long as people are still around then feel free to get the party started earlier.

Hrm, here is an inventory list from GVH bikes, they sell Viners and I think that the frame this person is selling can be had from them for about 600$USD. So, are the rest of the parts worth 1400$CDN? Hard to say but I think that your friend can do better.

No, it's Pauly. I'll nip around the corner and let him know or leave a note on his door.

that's Pauly allright..... there IS ONLY ONE...I guess there is no accounting for taste...eh? I'm married and Pauly has a fan club...go figure.

So this morning I'm pulled over for what I thought was jumpin' the streetcar doors on Queen.
Young officer, tells me I'm supposed to be over to the right more...
(I'm in the passenger wheel marks on the curb lane, passing the cycling cattle on Queen East)

I politely tell him no Sir I will not and proceed to explain to him that I've asked several police including the biking ones as to the laws regarding lane usage and passing and he in fact giving me differing data than they did. I tell him just how dangerous hugging the curb is for everyone and give him the fact I'm going so close to the speed limit as to be a car. 'If the powers that be want a coexistance between cars and bikes, then law enforcement needs to be consistent with it's message, and you're not being consistent' I then give him my information and told him he should check up on his understanding of the law in this regard. He was a little put off by me telling him 'no' at the beginning but it said soooo respectfully he had no choice but to deal with it. I think had he been an old school cop he'd have just hit me with a stick This one seemd to really take in what I was sayin', because there was no way I was going to allow him to tell me to further endanger myself.

Just got back. By ordering just espresso I'm learning who makes a better cup at ideal.
