The place will be closed for at least three more weeks. Almost no one sees Velo Vol's handiwork except the 1/3 of the lawn along the road. So it goes.
I'm walking the property, picking up a million sticks from the last rainstorm, I come around a corner and see a guy mowing the softball field.
wut
I went over and talk to him and he's from the tenant church that uses our facilities. Turns out they're planning to have an outdoor service this weekend since the church building is "closed."
Anyway, after toiling for weeks in obscurity, at last my mowing finally counts. Someone will be there to appreciate the finely trimmed lawn.

Across the street there's a house with a fenced yard. The last two weeks I've seen a couple dogs out for a spell.
They do this thing where they half lunge at each other, then "wrestle." One of the dogs is larger than the other and can "pin" the other.
After a few seconds the smaller dog breaks free, but rather than run to safety, he runs around and comes back to get pinned again.
It doesn't make any sense. Dogs are weird.

You are right. They occur when you're out of shape or pushing it beyond your usual limits. Studies in athletes have consistently failed to find an association with dehydration or electrolyte losses. Hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, and hypomagnesemia cause cramping, but at clinically scary levels, which no one can possibly get to by sweating on a bike. [/RANT]

It's weird that you lurk the thread seemingly for the sole purpose of playing hall monitor.

Someone has to do it, the current mods don't. I don't really give a rat's a$$ what is said in this thread as long as other people outside of this thread get to talk about, and trash other people and other threads like Mo and datlas are doing with the cramps thread. Billy D and his crew will not allow that to happen plain and simple. They protect their little flock and let them say whatever they want. Anyone that tries to respond, even if they do it within the Addition thread gets the boot. If you want me to quit monitoring this thread, then let everyone on the boards have equal say. Easy enough.

Stop it.
Now. seypat, if you have something to say, report it. You've been here long enough to know that. Whether or not we're mods,. or part of Billy D's "crew", we don't live here, and not every mod may monitor this thread, at all times. Sorry we don't "meet" you expectations, and I promise we'll try to do better, just for your snarky little ass. Really. I promise we'll elevate our game.
Bigly
Are we ALL clear on this?
Don't answer, because the matter is closed, and I'll take your silence as a yes.

In your case, I am guessing it's an INR so you probably do have to get it done.

Hannah got a letter from Thomas Dolby a few years ago, trying to get her to enroll in his program at Peabody/Johns Hopkins for students who are into both mathematics and music.
It was interesting to see his name on the letter.

I'll just apologize to the community for having endangered it, especially at this difficult time, and go away for a while.

Planning on seeing the Black Hawk statue? My wife and I blew by there back in the mid 90s on way to a sub 5 hour century on our tandem.

I think the statue is still covered and undergoing restoration. It's been like that for like 3 or 4 years
Sorry, I should have been more specific.
