You know, they could have just looked at her and said something like, "Yep, that's a good ole 40 year old California girl" and left it at that.

Mojo31

No, but I'll represent your wife since you'll be dead and she'll have all the money.

smh.

You might be on to something here.

BillyD

Such a liar. You "accidentally forgot" to reveal it's the Celsius scale.

Velo Vol 

We have an international readership.

Eric F 

Hmmm...maybe not technically a liar, but very possibly an intent to be deceptive.

Still sunny. 3rd walk of the day. 3F.

It was -20 in Kingston, ON this morning.

Mojo31

We call that a lyin, cheatin scoundrel.

Nothing quite like a tooth extraction to start the morning.

what if she borrowed it?

gnome

you mean you're not getting any so phrantic09 shouldn't either. How comfy is the doghouse?

Mojo31

You're reading between the lines again, aren't you.

Working on a deal though with Bam's wife, so when he goes over a cliff and she has all the money, we can thank him for the opportunities his unfortunate demise might open.

genejockey 

Yeah, but if you go down that road, you can't trust the driver's license either, because what if she stole the purse.

When he goes, he'll take at least one bike with him.

Somehow , this reminds me of scenes from "Cops" (or similar) where someone gets busted with drugs in their pocket, and they say, "I didn't know that was there. These aren't my pants."

Mojo31

So true.

genejockey 

I imagine that even drugs found in cavity searches are disowned by the people in whose cavities they were found, though "I didn't know that was there" is a lot harder to believe in that case.

Well it's on. Word came through this morning. We're doing a ten day guided trip through Tabasco and (mostly) Chiapas. We leave here Saturday afternoon, and get on the bus to Villahermosa Sunday morning. It was hanging by a chad due to the Omicroin explosion. Proof of vaccination required. Vamos a ver. The same trip was canceled last year, so we've had our reservations for about 18 months. Chiapas really should be part of Guatemala, culturally speaking. And Guatemala is my hands down favorite of the few countries in the world I've visited. During the late 80s and early 90s it was the other woman. Needless to say, I'm excited. It's been in the neighborhood of thirty years since i was last there. Do you think it's changed much?

BillyD

To each his own. That invariability would bore the **** out of me.

eh, I am starting to feel sick. Might be the mcdonald’s I ate for lunch. I hate that place by the way, or it might be the VID. I have a stinking feeling it’s the VID.

Every day when I wake up, the usual aches and pains one has the day after or two days after a long or reasonably intense ride have me thinking, "Is this 'IT'?" Waiting for the shoe to drop is slowly driving me nuts.

Well, that was fast. I haven't even ridden the Litespeed with the Sachs/Campy/Shimano kit and I'm already ordering the bits to rebuild it with 7410 Dura Ace. I put in an offer on a crankset and BB, with worn rings, and on a set of lightly used 53/39 chainrings, and both were instantly accepted. Now I just need FD (put 8in an offer already) and cables. I already have a spare box of Cinelli tape. I'll have to have my LBS swap the BBs, but otherwise, I'll be ready to good to go. I have the STIs and and RD I took off the Ritchey when I upgraded those to 7800, and I picked up a set of 7400 dual pivot calipers when I bought Deadman.

I feel better about this. Honestly, the Frankengruppo bothered me enough that I was plowing through Ebay and Craigs List looking for 6800/8000 Ultegra bits, and that build was going to cost about $600-700 on top of what I'd already spent. This will end up less than half the low end of that. And it's the bike I wanted back in 1995, anyway!
