The problem with those OSPW is once you save that half a watt, you'll never go into the 11 or 12 and lose it again.

Took a trip to Best Buy and picked up two new wireless phone chargers, one for home, one for the car. I'm more excited about them than I should be. 
In fairness, though, the one for the car, in addition to being wireless, also has a proximity sensor and it automagically opens and clamps down on the phone.

I have the wireless Samsung Fast Charger on my desk. Works well. Much better than putting weights in the trunk of a senior Honda.

He wouldn't trade the Accord for an S2000 because that would be fun. VV don't do fun.

I'd feel bad for the people who fell for these, but some things are so obviously not true.

A stroke of good fortune. I got in touch, via fb, with my former riding buddy, who now lives in Spain. Via a group he posted, I'm finding complete giro stages uploaded. The commentator proved the Colombian origins of the feed when he went bat**** over Bernal's victory in stage nine. I had to check to see if it was really the final stage. It was not

Incorrect. There is one nearby road I suppose would be "fun" driving in certain cars. Or, if you're in the mood for organ donation, a fast motorbike.

Coincidentally, a friend of mine was in North Carolina driving the mountain roads in a GT3 this past weekend with Killboy.

Both are fun. Why limit your choices?

I’ve got a new bike itch which is a bad thing to have during a bike/parts shortage.

I'm not feeling any 'new bike itch', fortunately. I look through Ebay and Craigslist and nothing moves me. There was a Battaglin in my size the other day for $300, but I already HAVE a Battaglin. Right now, each of my bikes has something different from all the others. No repeats. There's not anything that I feel is missing.

It's hard to be a pacifist in this case. She raced with the 50+123 men, and the open classes, because she wanted to get better. I raced with her a few times, and she was a legitimate badass.
