Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I came up with that on my own. Thinking outside the box.

It doesn't even have to be a social situation. A small welcome-to-the-practice party. You people need to watch more TV movies.

Dilemma time - do I want to leave at 4:00 to go for a ride considering that it's 100 degrees?

Just got a phone call and voice mail with a number showing as Austria. Some of the message got cut off, but I was warned if I did press one to speak to the "concern department" legal action will be taken against me. I am doomed!

So, yeah! No chemo is great news!!
I had a sinus infection that wouldn't go away. Received stronger and stronger anitbiotics. Saw many doctors until they sent me to UCSF. They put a picc line into me that went from my forearm into my heart. They said it was because the antibiotic was caustic and had to mix in the turbulence. I had to inject it at home every day. First few times I waited for a hole to develop in my chest.

I could look into this but with Ti you need to have a welder who really knows what they are doing. At this point I may just stick with cable shifting vs. bite the bullet and get Etap, I think the marginal rip-off cost of the SRAM eTap is less than the marginal cost of getting a professional welder to update the 12 year old Ti frame plus cost of internal wired Di2.

If the scheduling works, we might even get out for some cruising in Sept. She drove the boat on Sunday, but felt it a bit when she had to grind in the Genoa sheet. No point in going easy on her, though.
Most excellent. I hope things continue to roll/sail in a smooth manner

Mrs. LAJ had a port, which was good in the long run, but I had to learn to disconnect her doggie bag she brought home from the infusion appointment. I was ascared I would booger it up, then after the first time, it was OK.

Indy's Subie is 5 years old with just 13k miles. My Jeep is 8 months old with 8k miles.

But, we don't have any other type of transit.
Mrs John stopped working around 3 years ago and has driven 5k miles since. She bought gas in February and not again for 5 months.
I'm driving about 7k per year since I retired. I think it's great. In the mid 90s my commute was about 30k per year.

The more I think about a titanium frame build, the more expensive the idea becomes. It would be stupid to buy a titanium frame and skimp on the components, after all.
