Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Not easy to do if you're going uphill.

Good question, inquiring minds want to know.

Yes the seeds are in the tomatoes, but they have to be extracted by a somewhat involved process, and then properly dried, so that they a) don't stick together, b) still germinate, and c) don't rot. Doing all this organically is a bit more complicated because, Duh, chemicals can't be used to kill mold, or prevent rot, or anything else that needs doing.

@PepeM what happened to the Allez you ordered? And your lancemobile?

I also see your cats got to your blinds. Been there, have the dimished security deposit to show for it.
The idiots from the shop screwed up my pre-order, so no Allez for me. You would imaging that people whose job it to sell bikes would be capable of selling you a bike, but no.

The Lancemobile is sitting in my living room in parts. As soon as I can be bothered to put it back together it will be on sale.

As for the blinds, the cats (or one of them in particular) have destroyed every single one of them, and we have like a hundred windows in the apartment. We're not expecting a single dollar of the deposit back.

Missouri to both. Race is in Jefferson City. Leaning towards no right now. Entry fees + car rental end up being expensive, not sure I want to risk it. Will need to keep an eye on the forecast.

True. Luckily this was on a slight incline. The two dogs were just walking on the middle of a four lane street. They were probably just fooling around but I was not going to stick around to find out.

It is waste. The seeds and pulp need to soak in water until the pulp rots and the seeds come out clean. Then the cleaning and drying processes begin.

Edit: Technically, the slime envelope that encases the seed needs to rot off; otherwise they won't germinate, besides sticking together in big clumps.

See if you idiots like this song, it's going on the album.

Be nice now. Actually people are always nice. They generally won't tell you that you suck, they only tell you if they like it. That's what I do. This song has been going over great in bars. I think it hooks pretty hard. Trying to write pop songs with the great melody hooks. You write a good enough melody that hooks and they lyrics could be nazi marching lyrics, people would still love it. Regardless if somebody tells me I suck, my response would be 'tell me something I don't know arsehole.'

Angelina - words and music © Pcad Songs 2017

I hear you’re trying to make a new start Angelina
I guess that means you broke a new heart Angelina
Did you let him down easy
I don’t recall you doing that for me
You said I was too needy
That’s the blow off line that you used when you cut me free

New men might sell their souls for you Angelina
I take it nothing less would ever do Angelina
Girl I think it’s time you come down
Back here on earth with me where you belong
And maybe when I come back round
This could be our make up pillow talk song

(Bridge) Angelina I know you think that now
You’re in your prime
Oh but Angelina I’m afraid our love
Is running out of time
Out of time

I hear you’re trying to make a new start Angelina
What if I got other plans for your heart Angelina
Would you throw me a life vest
You might just find the one it saves is you
You think that you know what’s best
But way deep down my love you can feel it too
You feel it too
Babe I know you do

I love you girl and we’re not through Angelina
We both know I’m the only man for you Angelina
Angelina Angelina

Is there any way to embed a video with this lame software? Posting photos and videos is so lame compared to most social media sites. Good grief it does suck. Maybe if it sucked less they'd have better traffic. I wonder if this ever occurred to the Internet Brands friggin brain trust.

Say pcad, a question for you about party bands. Why, as the party progresses, does both the volume increase and the content keep moving toward harder rock? IME bands at parties including, of course, weddings and bar mitzvahs, start off covering pop, soft rock songs until after dinner. Everyone walks around saying, ""Wow, this is a great band."

Then the volume gradually increases to the skull ******* level, and the music becomes one long twangy guitar riff after another. Conversation becomes impossible, and people's eyes start to glaze over with the unasked question, "When is this torture ever going to end."

Does the band just get as drunk as we do? At least the music provides a good excuse to leave the party early.

Let's see if this works. Using "insert link" tab.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZgx...ature=youtu.be

That's weird, it works for other youtube links. Yours must be blacklisted. I can only imagine why.

You just need to cut the url after the video's ID number (the "v=xxxxxxxxxx) -
