A day off, and dinner at a Chinese restaurant (Jewish tradition )

Santa is bringing me a fresh start.

Good to see you are back on the bike Vicki. This should be here in a couple of weeks. I bought the bike and a lot of new accessories that I had been putting off for a while. The wife has been very cool about the whole thing and told me to buy exactly what I wanted. I explained that there are much more expensive builds but that I needed to ride a lot before I got to the point of needing a high-end build. This one should last me for a long time and if I want I can always upgrade parts when needed. I'll post pics of me with it when it gets here so that my general fatassitude is known. I made up my mind to lose the weight and by seeing constant reminders of what I look like to others I will be motivated to get smaller.

Good to see the Mountain Bike fun spreading at HC.

Congrats on riddance of the cast Vicki! Hope things go well and keep healing up! Nice bike Jeff! Looks to be mid '70s? EDIT: it is sunny and 25F here, light wind, no snow. Trying to talk myself into going out for 15-20 miles...

John, what shop are you talking about? I'm putting air in my tires and headed out the door soon. I wanted to get out earlier, but it was just too cold and not the best for an arthritic ankle's first outing in two months. The sun is shining and it's gorgeous! One more cup of coffee.

Oh ...... my ....... god. This is the most amazingly amazing Scotch. It is so smooth, rich and complex. And the port finish really gives it such a nice touch of sweetness ... just incredible! Jeff, thank you so much for this. I really love it. You made my holiday. Edit: Dammit. Now I don't want to brush my teeth. It'll make the awesome flavor go away.

Forgot to mention it also has my initials engraved on the back of the bell! And it's all black - just the color scheme I wanted.
