I'm trying to imagine how many gopher feet make up $5000 worth. Do they carry them in a big trash bag? Do they have to keep them in a freezer until they take them in? And who gets stuck counting them? And are there people who operate clandestine gopher farms to harvest the feet for the bounty? Are there tripod gophers running around because they were caught by people who needed the money but were too soft-hearted to actually kill them?

At $3 a set 1566.6 gophers if my math is correct. The amour of money they received was $4700.

So is it one paw per gopher, or can you use all 4? I wonder. And I congratulate your enhanced math skills from last night. :D

Math was wrong. I assume a set would mean 4 paws.

RollCNY 06-19-13 01:27 PM

Well, my reading skills blow chunks. I thought you wrote $3 per paw. My bad.

I think its safe to say it was a lot of gophers.

And Bingo looks like an excellent dog.

That bear claw looks like an excellent pastry.

Get one (or two!) of those blinkies that was made to go on the seat stays - https://www.serfas.com/products/view...%7Ctail-lights

42.7 miles today. I actually stopped to see if I had some brake rub going on. I didn't. It was one of those days.

I enjoyed running out at Lake Draper earlier. It was way better than loopy loops in the neighborhood for my LSR.

wow Hummer, you must be anxious. Staying in a multi day argument with Mr. "I used to race on 3 continents and now show off on a recreational bike forum"? Impressive work.

Not trying to date or be friends with that guy (can't even remember his name), so no anxiety. And I'm extremely used to the "you need to compete at longer distances" argument with no concrete reasoning. I'm still waiting for one person to give me a good reason why distance is better. The fat woman I heard say "sprints aren't hard after you do one" was the final nail in the coffin of that notion in my head.

Ha. Maybe I'll pop back in there - didn't think that there was anything left to see; dude is seriously not bright, no matter how fast he used to be.
