VV are you going to race this year?

I don't even know where the races are. One of these days I'll check out the group ride from the nearby shop and see how I fare. They've got a faster paced ride.

By the way, we don't have Piggly Wiggly here.

Perhaps it is being shipped aboard the H.M.S. PBK, with my tyres.

I got my endorphins. I don't have my iPad.

By the way that new version of Adobe Illustrator has some amazing new drawing features which may actually help us in our work. But it may have to wait until I get a new desktop machine. As soon as they refresh that 27" i-Mac, I'll have to go for it. My main machine is nearly 6 years old now (G5 tower). Still works fine.

But it's time.

I'll say this for my business: it won't ever make me rich, but it pays the rent. The cool part is I've always loved Macs and it gives me an excuse to buy any cool Mac crap I want. And of course it's all a write-off. What a country.

By the way, just because Adobe has some cool new features on Illustrator doesn't mean they're not friggin idiots. They are. I'm sure it will continue to annoy the living crap out of us on a daily basis with some of the stupid quirks it has. Don't get me started. My favorite one was the part where it would just spontaneously lose our work. Happened to me and several employees over a couple of versions. I posted about this on an Illustrator online forum and some VP of software development from Adobe emails me. No, I can't replicate the conditions that create this problem, it's totally random I tell him. This means they knew all about it and were trying to figure it out. Doesn't hardly ever do that these days. That really sucked.

Sure is. I ride right up to the edge, the end of Lake Shore Drive and turn around. Most times its a great ride, but every once in a while some one just has to go out of thier way to prove what a complete ass hat they are. Last year, a buddy and I had an issue with a creaton and had to appear in court. he got wreckless driving and anger management on his dime. The best part is he lives right on Jefferson ave and I pass his house every time I take that ride.

It hasn't shipped yet. I'm telling you they are selling the crap out of these things, I ordered it last Sunday. You'll all have one soon. You all have iPods. Let that be your guide. You spend a week with an iPad and you'll want one.

Incorrect II.

Hate to break it to you, but BikeForums will be just as dumb when you access it with an iPad.

What's with the racing bikes with periscope steerer tubes? Do some stretching and lose the space stack because you need to be aero on that thing with your knees rubbing against the sides of your cheeks.



;)

Very nice ride, enjoy!

I got the iPod because I really like iTunes and was tired of having to search different sites for music to download, plus iTunes had different things to offer other than music. I still don't see where the iPad fits in the scheme of mobile devices in my life but I never say never so we'll see but definitely not now.

let us know when the shift levers start rusting.

Knoxville is 14th on this list of worst cities for ozone pollution, ahead of NYC, Philly, and Washington DC. (I've seen it ranked even worse on other lists, but who's keeping score?)

Combine that with the fact that it's one of the worst cities for pollen/allergies, and we're a Mecca for pulmonologists.

patentcad 04-30-10 08:45 PM

My right knee is rusting. Could be time for more Synvisc shots.

I'm exhausted and my SATs are tomorrow. Fun fun fun!

If you thought this thread couldn't possibly get any dumber, I submit this.

that picture is a bit wide angled and makes bars look higher, not as high as my "comfy ride" that's for sure, id rather have option for later on to lower than no room for adjust at all. It is a stiffer ride but NOT jarring, power to wheels is awesome, zero flex, new hood design and ergo bars are nice for hands too..
