I'm sad to report that 'Rad has been taken into custody by the state mental health officials.
He was found, covered in spray paint, muttering "have a tete, don't have a tete, have a tete, don't have a tete" over and over.

Actually, August has been a blur. Work was horrific and then I took off on vacation. While boogie boarding in Kauai, I got rolled over some rocks and whacked my tailbone. X-Rays confirmed it was cracked but fortunately it was localized and didn't get the spine. Unfortunately, there is nothing they can do about it and I continue to be off the bike. I'm hoping to ride Saturday which would make it 3 weeks since my last ride.
Also, I've been spending my time researching another bike. I'm happy to say I've acquired another project. More on that later.

Also - 53-11 took off for the body building forums. He may be lurking here but his last PM with me about a month ago was to say goodbye.

Hip, I'm still around.
Been CRAZY busy at work, with a ton of travel, and my little baby girl just turned 8 weeks old and requires a lot of my time (reasonably so). I am extremely sleep deprived and am up to my ears in urgent tasks that aren't getting done.
I still skim the posts but haven't had much chance to contribute.
By the way, I'm not complaining. The busy work stuff has been good stuff and the baby is terrific.
Rad, sorry to hear about your injury! Heal fast!

I'm here Hip, and posting regularly I just started college last week so I've been a bit busier than usual, but I'm around!
Rad, sorry to hear about your tail bone. Do you have a donut to sit on?
And where is Skydive69?

Seems to be a busy time of the year for a lot of us. I just recently started grad school, so that's where I've been.
I look forward to living vicariously through Rad's new project. He should get Patriot to paint it. It would be the ultimate BF bike.

I would say the vibe around here has pushed people away. Lately, it seems everybody wants to stand opposed to something, be it cycling related or (more often than not) political. Somebody posts something harmless, and suddenly he has everybody jumping his case because his jersey is communist propoganda, or his saddle is too far forward, or ...
Everybody needs to chill.
