Probably deserves its own thread anyway. Go ahead and open the thread stating that the Committee gave you approval.

:lol: Well, I'm sure any self respecting scientific journal would be more than happy to publish your findings.

I really, really do prefer riding in temps between 30 and 60 degrees more than anything. I'm pretty sure I'm in the wrong part of the country, but I'm kind of stuck.

I'll take 70-90 degrees any day.

For me, ideally it would be about 60 degrees while riding and as I stop for lunch break it should gently rise up to about 80, then cool back down to 60 within 5 minutes of getting back in the saddle.

I had hookers and ... um, you know ... at my 15k party. Beat that, turkey!

I try to be lenient. I appreciate your appreciation, but the sun will soon set on that ... um, entertainment. :crash:

I'm gonna second my earlier suggestion that this board needs an 80's/90's road bike subforum.

You can third it if you like, but I doubt it will do any good. :lol:

I saw [MENTION=29415]BillyD[/MENTION] posted in the Banned User thread and I clicked it with breathless anticipation only to be rewarded with a name I didn't recognize.

I presume you dropped the poop. I mean from the tower.

If you're talking about the individual I think you're talking about, I'm a little surprised that wasn't enough to push him over the edge. I'm really tired of that guy. Who didn't he go after in that thread? Oh well, always fun to watch a good old fashioned meltdown.

I see the effects haven't worn off yet.

40 to go. If you're dedicated you could hit that by 3:00PM Central Time.

The term "Banned User Thread", got me thinking. Instead of banning users, how about assigning them to a single sub-forum, the Banished User Forum. They could only post in there. Folks in good standing could visit there to read what is going on, but couldn't post there. I think that would be fun. Kind of like Trollheim but even more concentrated.

Probably not the same one. I don't mind the poster that annoys you.

Is there anything I can do to help move you along?

You could ask for my biscuit or apple pie recipe. I'm sure that would get us moving.

I found one of my local grocery stores sells Sturdiwheat Pancake mix which is my favorite. My wife isn't a fan. She says she doesn't like the texture. I think she's crazy.

Pancake Mixes

It's made in my hometown.

I've always like my pancakes to be sturdy and, of course, wheat too. Sounds like a winner.

attn: my "upstate" NY friends

if any of you have any insight, which of the following counties would be a good place to live?

sullivan, ulster, greene, schohaire, or albany

were looking for low crime, low housing cost, good taxes, good schools, mostly suburban/rural but not something that we have to drive 50 miles to get a gallon of milk either

proximity to wilderness and outdoorsy stuff would help too, but just about anywhere would have more than NYC

basically the standard requirements for people that arent featured in forbes and are actually humans

...I can tell you that if you want to reproduce the experiment to verify my results, you want to do the full of poop drop first, because the landing knocks the crap out of the experimental subject.

I've flown into/out of schohaire in Chicago.

...I already made my first apple pie of the season last week, using Fuji apples. :) It was delicious. I mean, not professional pie, but still very tasty.
