sir pcad,

if it makes you feel better, feel free to rip the philadelphia eagles. after all, we are the guys who sit up front for most of the race only to get dropped in the sprint...

while i don't think mcnabb was a great passer (he belongs in the HOVG, the hall of very good), i think the idiotic philly fans who wanted to boot him out will be crying to sleep this upcoming year

oh, just to rub it in, who finished first in the NL east for the past two years?

Yes, great movie--much of which was filmed just across the mountains from here.

The soundtrack for the closing scene makes for great climbing music.


"Promontory" by Trevor Jones, if you wanted to download it.

At least you addressed me as 'sir Pcad', so you get ass kissing points for that.

Yeah, that movie rocked, really took you back to the early 18th century, except with A List movie stars instead of the ugly people who actually were the historical figures. Who wants to look at them anyway? I'd rather look at M. Stowe. And NC was rather convincing as upstate NY.

don't delude yourself, it was done in jest :p .

but no, i do respect you. you churn out 12k miles a year and ride in the frigging cold of the hudson valley. that commands respect. but let's get this outta the way, i ain't an ass kiser

Fixed.

>>Almost anyplace is vastly superior to upstate NY.<<

Fixed for accuracy.

You mean the combo of toothless Yankee villagers and pastey Englishmen/women doesn't work for you?

No, we get along great. Just he flips out about little things, like forgetting the date on repair tags. That's my fault, but still. I'm just worried he is gonna get really pissed

Mzeffex, the thing to remember is that if your current boss gets mad because you are going to a better job, it's ok, because by the time he gets mad, he will have just become your ex-boss (subject to two weeks notice of-course). Just don't burn the bridge and you will be fine. Bosses don't like when employees quit, and employees don't like getting fired, yelled at or laid off either, but each accepts that the other will or may happen.

Good luck!

Oh, you went there?

Still bitter after all these months?

You know that back-to-back whuppin' was payback for the final game of the previous season, right? ;)

HP bought Palm.

Velo Vol 04-28-10 04:10 PM

I'm just saying, making $.50/hr extra isn't going to make a huge difference - don't loose a friend over it.

Where are you going to college?

Not sure yet. It would be more like $4/hr more.

That is serious dough for a bike shop....hell 4 dollars an hour is serious money for just about any one, about 8k a year. Don't look back, he has been around since the 80s, you leaving won't close the place down.

Pcad my new bike has been shipped as well. Who will get theirs first coasting or myself? WHose bike will be nicer?

The Ibis Ti is the rain/snow/sloppy road bike (it's 15 years old and probably indestructible anyway, as well as somewhat expendable at this point, even though I'll probably never be able to kill it). The Scott is the main training bike, but it's becoming the bike of choice for any hilly event (i.e. hill climb TT this weekend). Great climber. The Cervelo is the bike for racing and competitive group rides like Nyack, and some training. The TT bike is for racing and some training.

In other words it's Pcad Whim based. God what a dopey question.

man, you gotta understand. we grow resigned. this is philly sports team we're talking about. no championships since 1959? no problem:rolleyes:

though it's okay, it gets boring winning something like 14 out of the last 20 matches. you can have a consolation prize, dallas?

man, it's only late april and i'm psyched for football already. although this year, i'm trying to become a cycling snob & watch more cycling races than football games

patentcad 04-28-10 09:48 PM

I hate the Phillies, but not as much as I hate hockey, Nascar, the WWF, Rush Limbaugh and some of the jerkwads in this idiot sport.

patentcad 04-28-10 09:56 PM

My favorite current commercial.


patentcad 04-28-10 09:57 PM

But I digress.

ls01 04-28-10 11:03 PM

50? Take the long way, get some real miles in. How you gunna become a road nazi and only ride 50 miles?

patentcad 04-29-10 04:06 AM

I have given up on Facebook. The interface is utterly unfathomable. I'm sure Yahoo and/or Microsoft are involved somehow.
