Excellent. What cruise line?

Celebrity. In that middle range, we like it the best. Haven't tried Holland America, but Princess wasn't quite as nice.

Very nice.

I'm working towards the 98-ish area, that's for sure. Tomorrow, the drill is to do 3x10 Zone 3 at over 110. I find it brutal. But, my 4 hour Z2 ride was 94 average, so it's getting there.

Ouch!

So your son bailed on you? :lol:

No son. Two daughters and four granddaughters. It's an estrogen fest.

Having just come off of a 7 night with four women, I feel your pain.

Celebrity is considered one of the best. I did Norweigan and would be hard pressed to find anything to complain about. And I'm a critical SOB.

We've done Disney and Royal Caribbean. I have nothing to complain about either of those.

Shoot 'em and distribute the meat free to the poor.

I heard a rumor that there are some eagles in Philadelphia....

BillyD 11-17-15 03:02 PM

The last two.

What lower NY harbor collection could be complete without the statue?

i agree completely, but peta types have their panties in a bunch and expect people to just stuff them in a bag and let them loose in jersey

theres 10 and 12 pointers along one of the main trails i ride and commute along to get to work, and a friend of mine is a bowhunter who lives 1/4 mile from there.

i keep trying to get him out there, but hes worried about fines and jailtime and trivial details...

From your earlier post, I totally missed the word "deer" and only saw "hipster" and I was wondering just how militant one could be against hipsters. :lol:

Hipster, deer, same thing on the annoyance scale.

Annoyance scale perhaps. But, deer do have the redeeming quality that they provide venison to eat.

Not as bad as those filthy Flying Canadian Rats. How in the heck geese are still federally protected is way beyond me.

I know, right. And they're tasty, too.

But actually, geese don't run into your car. And they don't eat up your ornamentals and veggies either. And they don't spread lyme-disease carrying deer ticks. So there's that.

The crank size has a lot to do with it too.

The trike for the dog has 140 cranks ( I measured them). I can get it to 160 rpm any time. I've hit 200 rpm once and 195 a few times. Also important is that sitting up straight on the seat keeps your butt down on the saddle. Also a heavy bike stays still better at high rpm. And, a trike gives you a heavy and solid non tipping platform. That helps too. Low gearing means the traveling speed is low, which means the bike/trike does not bounce around as much.

Mumonkan 11-17-15 06:07 PM

canadian geese are federally protected in the US? didnt know that.

sounds like an international problem

Silly thread got locked? That's serious.

Just got a MagicShine copy light from China via EBay. The thing is wicked bright and dirt cheap. Even if it only lasts a year it's a great value at under $18 shipped.

just be careful of pulling/bending the wires coming out of the head/battery/connectors and its a solid light

i rewired and soldered mine about 6 times before i gave up on it
