20 mph over how long? I managed it for about 15 mins with no climbing. Does that count?

I hope that the Bears perform similarly next week against the Vikings.

<sigh> SRAM Yaw FD's chain keeper won't fit 2011 Madone due to brazed-on mount's raised edge...don't want to dremel it.

That game stunk. We looked like the practice squad. For Oakland's high school. If Oakland had a high school dedicated to blind kids. I'm disgusted.

Whoa, there's still hope!
At the behest of the judge, Hostess Brands and the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers Union, which represents 5,600 Hostess workers, will meet with a mediator on Tuesday to try to narrow their differences toward a labor agreement.
So why are Tobacco Laborers rolled in with the folks who make doughnuts and muffins?

One of the modifications I must do is tint the windows. Not so much so people can't see me, but to lower the inside temps, and use the a/c less.
As for the Raptor. Well I was at the Ford dealership with a co-worker dropping off his car to get serviced. They had a brand new 6.2 Raptor sitting there. $53k sticker, 11mpg city 16hwy. For a work car no I do not want that, no thanks. The nice thing about this dedicated work car, is it will give me the option of doing some things I've been wanting to do to my F150, since it will no longer be a daily driver. Basically I want to do a long travel suspension, and wider flared out fenders, and bedsides, and of course larger tires. Then eventually it will necessitate a newer more powerful engine as my 5.4l with 140K on it is getting tired in it's old age. I'm pretty confident I could spend less than $20K in mods, and make my current F150 a Raptor killer. I was thinking something like this, but only with a cap on the back so I can still haul my bikes in style, and comfort.
Just because I want to be sensible, and save money on gas in my work car. It doesn't mean I am getting rid of my F150, or that I am any less of a man. It just means I am being practical. I love my F150, it is a great truck, but I really hate using it for work.

In all honesty I would probably never buy vanity plates. I am far too thrifty for such. I had them in the past when I was in my teens, and I thought it was an utter waste of money. I guess I am just really looking forward to getting 70mpg.

Just don't collide with anything larger than a mid-sized motorcycle.

I've owned Honda CR-Xes since I was 17years old. I've even traveled at speeds in excess of 150mph in my current CRX. I am not the least bit afraid of traveling at highway speeds in a Insight. It has another decade of safety built into it. So I am not scared. We're all gonna die someday. I worry more about being struck by a full size truck on my bicycle.

I wrote the chord structure and melody of an uptempo song this AM in 10 minutes. Those usually turn out to be the best songs, the ones that come easy.
Now for the lyrics, but if nothing else, Pcad is a bottomless well of utter bull****, which always works well in creative writing of any kind.

Bonus points for working "scranus", "rolfing", and "scwag" into the lyrics.

scranus sounds like a good name for a band.

I'm writing it about the fiscal cliff in hopes of obtaining federal aid.

You'll never win by assuming that logic plays a role in forming his opinion.
