Bike Forums - Addiction XIX

I think we're supposed to get 50 on Sunday! 90% chance of precip and right around 40 for the next 48 hours, though. No freezing rain funtimes for us though.

I was hoping for a chance for a long ride since I still have unwrapped bars on the Team Marin and I'm not convinced I have the cockpit dialed yet so need some miles.

I dunno why I'm fretting about it so much since I'm still on track to have some bike junk budget around mid-feb at which point I'll get one of these and some similarly shiny bars...

I'll take that as a "yes" (cry for attention).

We didn't hear all this birthday talk a few weeks ago, did we? But now that other people are getting attention you suddenly have a birthday? Uh huh.

Last week, I installed a cat door so that the cats could get in to the basement (which houses the preferred litter boxes for two of them) any time they wanted to, without having to leave the door open (stairs/toddler). They're still not getting it. Dumb cats.

On the other hand, we've got Solo, who selflessly insists on making a trainwreck of his life and annoyingly posting about it here like this is fb.

The takeaway from this - don't share bacon-topped maple frosting long johns.

If that boy hurts himself under your watch . . .

This seems to have made it past the vaporware stage.

This is a very usa-centric site.

Vaporware.

Looks pretty cool, btw. But I am not an early adopter of new technology. Give it a couple years to mature.

Hey, I just noticed I am closing in on 10K posts.

Does reaching that milestone get me anything??

Perhaps a joint party with Jonesey's birthday.

OMG, a young woman just opened her bumbershoot indoors three times in a row here at the coffeeshop. She was only about 10' away from me, so I hope I'm not cursed due to proximity. Don't they teach superstition in the schools anymore?
