That all sounds excellent, with the bad ass certainly reserved for the Cubs and little league. Well played.

That's what we're afraid of. :(

Hey Billy - I think I saw about 50 turkey vultures yesterday. It was crazy. They flew over my house and I thought they were hawks. I did some research and apparently there is a group of them that migrate to Boulder early April. A couple sat in my trees for a while.

Have you seen one? This was the best I could do. They sent all the wildlife in my yard into a frenzy.

I'm not ascared.

I couldn't relate to your coaching style.

My favorite name for those folks is 'Space Cadet'. The term was in wide use in the LSD days . . . according to a friend.

Best wishes for your sis, Mr. D.

Good luck, datlas.

He's a broke student. He can't afford a full carbon bike yet.

Since my language tutoring is not eliciting as much outrage as formerly, let me point out that the slang affirmative (opposite of "nah") is "yeah", not "yea". "Yea" is pronounced "yay" but is the opposite of "nay". "Yay" means like "hooray". I did not have to look it up.

Oh, that feels so much better now.

well if it is not broke, don't fix it.

Mercury is in retrograde when someone decided to do this for arms.

I'm about to put them on.

Good luck with it. :)

Speaking of stadium design and not having looked it up, at the Coliseum did they tell you what "arena" meant originally.

Hope it goes well.

Nope. Doesn't ever happen to my taint.* I may end up with sore shoulders/neck and hands if I haven't ridden my road bike in a while.








*I ride a Brooks saddle on all my regular bikes or I ride a recumbent.

Wassup sbxx, always a pleasure when you can stop by.

The best way to ID turkey vultures is to look for all the trailing feathers of the wings to be silver, from the bird's body all the way out to the tip. Black vultures differ in that only the last 12 inches or so of the wing tip are silver. But they're both very large birds that hold there wings in a shallow V while soaring. The turkey vulture is basically a black bird with a red, wrinkled, ugly head, whereas the black vulture has a gray head and isn't quite so ugly.

They're considerably bigger than any hawk, but can sometimes be confused with a golden eagle. Eagles, however, will never appear in a large group like that.

No idea. This lady brought in a "dog" that looks like a coyote to me.


The lady tells me she found her as a stray and she was "kind of wild" at first.


Then the lady tells me sometimes when she takes the "dog" to the park, the other dogs at the park sometimes attack her, for no apparent reason.


All the while I'm thinking 'because she's a coyote.' I brought this idea up with the lady but she was just like: wut?


I doesn't really matter in the end, she's had the "dog" for 9 years now and the dog is tame enough now. For all I know, she actually is a dog. But we're all amused by thinking we're seeing a coyote.

Plenty of turkey vultures here.

Going off on a tangent here but that never stopped anyone before, so...

My sister had a pair of malamutes and left them in the car for a minute while she ran into the store. These guys were pretty smart and knew how to open the glove box by pushing the button. Inside was like a 1# bag of Kraft caramels. They ate all of the caramels and wrappers. They were pooping wrappers for awhile but both survived.

Sorry [MENTION=29415]BillyD[/MENTION], I let the cat outta the bag. Mea culpa.

I've got an aluminum Colnago. :)

Some of us outgrow the student title but stay the former. :innocent:

All of my bike frames are metal.
