Someone's jealous.

For the price people are paying you would expect the phone to automatically stretch the interface of a non-native app to fit. It's not even hard to code in either.

Today I watched a bunch of soccer on tv, and put it 20 miles to go check out the Red Bull Mini Drome contest.

Seems like Dan would tear that competition up. Fastest guys were on DJs.

I know, man. I think I have enough parts to fully and partially assemble at least two or three more bikes. I just need wheels. I managed to sell off my handlebars though

I'll awake, dressed, breakfasted, and ready to walk out the door at 530am for a bike ride. Six months ago, I was used to going to bed around the time I woke up. Who have I become?

46F for the ride this morning. tried out Gator in-shoe toe covers. awesome. paired w/ thin Smartwool socks, i was noticeably warm w/o sweating in my ventilated mtb shoes (Shimano MT22's). did have to find my gloves though. below 50 my hands start to get chilly.

came home and the wife had chicken soup and an Ommegang Abbey Ale (dubbel) waiting. mad that i can't help her dealing with the new job search, but the stress cooking is working out all right.....

Today I went out, shorts and long sleeves. I had to dig out my liner gloves too, because it was barely 50, and the wind was insane. Still fun. Going to play a little football at 6, and then its just hangin out for the rest of the night.

I also learned that some friends of mine got in some trouble while in my hometown for the weekend. Nothing super serious, but still not great.
