Hopefully I didn't just wreck the night.

And bah to Daniel Craig. How about Timothy Olyphaunt as... Timothy Olyphaunt.

Yup, a very cool and self assured dude.

I'll find out Monday if I am ordering a Parlee Z5 SLi frameset. It's going to be a long weekend. :o

Don't you hate that. I have a good retort though- "I'm 59 and have an artificial hip and need another." They maybe hear the 59 part.

Two road bikes, a cross bike, and a tt bike. The numbers won't change if I get the Parlee frameset. I will be selling my Colnago frame once I receive the new one.

The last time I was on a date, shaving was a non-issue.

Just saw two of those large, double-propeller military transporter helicopters flying over at sunset. Hardly ever see those around here.

Where's Soloist? Something big might be going down.

I'm single and I listen to International radio.

Just throwing that out there.

Better to just say "I'm old" in a shaky voice. It's quicker.

rjones28 03-15-13 06:13 PM

I had a date with Mrs. rjones28 tonight. We went to the ice cream parlor for sundaes.

rjones28 03-15-13 06:14 PM

I did not shave before hand.

No one said to send it to coasting.

I am still undecided.

Is your physician forum a magnet for dumbassery like BF is?

Datlas. Remember that that website is full of disgruntled doctors. Which is why I stopped going there. It just brought me down.

And BF is for delusional cyclists.

Speaking of England, what kind of idiot drivers do they have over there? On the traffic report this morning they mentioned "queues" forming behind at least three different overturned "lorries." How are so many flipping over?

I think that's becasue of inadequate road clearing and gritting. Austerity baby! When it snowed a little bit, the airport was closed for days. that is the airport that is the busiest international airport in the world. Sad.

That's why I am always amazed when you guys talk about riding during the snow bound months. I cannot imagine roads being cleared enough and ice free enough to ride when temps are sub zero.
