Anyone remember Coke Blak? Coffee flavored Coke, I loved that stuff.

I liked it too! Sometimes I'll have a cup of coffee and an open bottle of Coke at my desk, and alternate sips.

Another gross-sounding (and -looking) combo is orange juice and Coke -- they sell it in some countries, and it's actually kinda good.

I read somewhere recently that Taco Bell is going to start selling OJ mixed with Mountain Dew as a breakfast drink.

To add to my **** day, my wife lost her debit card, which is our only access to all but $100 of our funds until next Tuesday. Sweet.

Some folks also keep emergency funds in a home safe. I think 500 bucks would be a good safety net for situations like this.

They issue temporary cards too until your replacement arrives in the mail.

Oh yes of course, I was speaking to the temp card. I lose/crack/break mine frequently and I just go to the bank and grab cash for a week.

Her bank account us a holdout from when we lived in Indiana. The closest branch is 50 miles away. She's stubborn and dislikes change.

According to the doctor that saw me wincing as I worked on his bike, my thumb was dislocated. I have no insurance.

Left thumb, for reference:

Sweet.

Thats really nice and rare of him. Most doctors if they dont know you personally and even if they do, wouldnt do it outside the office due to the abundance of malpractice suits out there today. (Grandpa and uncle are both Docs)
Im pretty sure I wouldnt even perform CPR on somebody out of fear of breaking a rib and getting sued.

50 miles away? Indiana?

Epic century to Gary!

RGNY 09-07-12 03:27 PM

wrote All City to confirm that the chainline (as i measured it) on the Nature Boy with stock equipment (FSA Vero/110 bb) was 44.5.

answer? "I believe you are correct."

thanks for the non-answer. heck i think i'm correct to, but i thought someone there might -know-.

Scrodzilla 09-07-12 03:30 PM

Ha! Who did you hear back from? I may be able to get a better answer for you.

****. That. I grew up in Gary. **** sucks. Also it's in Portage, not Gary, my name isn't on the account, and my wife doesn't ride.

I did, and ordered the same frame from a different ebay seller, who shipped the next day. This thing shipped on the 2nd, got here today, rather than October 22nd...

Just need to wire it up and throw the chain on.

Did a pretty mellow 17 miles in the neighborhood and on the riverside path. There was so much water today that the LA River almost looked like a real river.
